This right here. I'm prescribed Adderall off-label for excessive daytime sleepiness, and have been for over a decade. I have tried multiple times to come off of it because of my concerns with long term effects (especially with my heart).
Can I survive? Absolutely. But without it, I am a zombie; a complete shell of myself. Even with concerns over long term side effects, the tradeoff isn't worth it for me.
Exactly. I don't know where people get this about Apple. There are so many things that one could criticize Apple about, but older hardware support is not one of them
Saying that it's physically possible to build and service a desktop that lasts a quarter century has no relationship to the length of support a consumer electronics company should offer.
I can still boot my white clamshell Macbook from almost 20-years ago. It didn't disintegrate at the 5-year or 10-year mark.
That doesn't mean Apple must continue to support it.
Oh I don't disagree with that! I should have specified that, at least in the mobile world, Apple is much better about supporting their hardware for the average person than the alternatives
It helps to not just think of them as open tabs - personally I'd be overwhelmed with 40+ tabs as well, and that's exactly why a traditional browser frustrates me.
Think of them more as a combination tab/bookmark. Then tabs that are opened that aren't "bookmarked/pinned" are in a separate area; you can even set those to automatically close at the end of the day if you want
It's a typical overblown marketing statement, agreed. But I have to say, I've been exclusively using Arc since it released and I'm a huge fan.
Vertical tabs for sure aren't revolutionary - but the way they treat tabs that are kind of a mix of a bookmark & pinned tab really clicks with the way my brain wants to use a browser. It really has fundamentally changed how I work on the Internet for the better
As an American, I had heard about this and also of course over the years the stories of how rude Parisians are. So when I was preparing for a trip to Paris last year, I had low expectations.
I honestly loved it. Absolutely my favorite city I've ever been to; but it's still a city, with all of the warts that come with that. Still, I can't wait to go back.
This take is radically wrong, and you're just reinforcing OP's insecurities. How do you know that OP has a job at the expense of a white person? How do you know that OP isn't in fact the best candidate for the job? You're making a whole lot of assumptions here that are bordering on outright racism
> How do you know that OP has a job at the expense of a white person?
Which part of the parent's message says that he does?
What it does say that if an organisation gives preferential treatment to a certain group based on their skin color, then it follows, inevitably, that people with non-preferred skin color will lose to those with the preferred one, all else being equal. And thus, there will inevitably be "the white guy who was excluded from employment because of his skin color" (or sex, or both). Whether it was OP or someone else who was preferred to that guy is unknowable, and thus ultimately irrelevant. But that must take place in an organisation that is truly committed to DEI; because otherwise this abbreviation is meaningless.
That assumption was suggested by the OP, not me. Thanks for suggesting I'm racist, but I'm basically immune to such thought stopping non-arguments at this point.
If disagreeing with making hiring decisions on the basis of skin colour is racist, then I suppose I'm racist.
OP never said he was hired due to the color of his skin though. Not once. Is it possible that's the case? Sure. But for all we know, he was hired on merit.
While it's not certain that the OP was hired over a white person, it is mathematically certain that DEI policies cause whites to be discriminated against in aggregate.
1. There are fewer qualified black and Hispanic candidates per capita (i.e. without a college degree, without the right experience, etc.) than white and Asian candidates. The cause of this is irrelevant to the argument, it is factually true.
2. There are a finite amount of positions at any given company paying any given amount.
3. If companies hire a larger percentage (beyond a certain margin of error) of black and Hispanic candidates than actually exist in the hiring pool then they must commit racial discrimination against whites and Asians in order to accomplish this. You can try to redefine racism and discrimination as "prejudice plus power" or whatever you want to justify the fact that you mistreat people on the basis of their skin color, but factually that is what is being done.
It's completely fair to look at the big picture, but it's dangerous to look at specific situations and make assumptions is the only point I was trying to make. Without DEI, OP may have still gotten the position he has. We have no way of knowing that. I wasn't fond of the original replier making it seem like he got the position over a white person only due to the color of his skin, which is an unfair assumption to make
Bridge is part of the Proton Mail paid service. They advertise it right here: https://proton.me/mail. It's not unreasonable to say that if you are paying for Proton Mail, you would expect the bridge to work considering they advertise it as a feature
I definitely considered Rad, and may still eventually get one. I ended up going with a Lectric XP 2.0 (https://lectricebikes.com/collections/ebikes/products/xp-ste...) and I've been pleased with it. A bit of lag with the pedal assist kicking in, and there's an awful vibration noise that happens at times, but for the price I've been enjoying the hell out of it. I've put about 140 miles on it in the past month and a half
