The neighbor leaving their own garage open and having only themself to blame is exactly how I read it. I was assuming the HOA was planning to put surveillance cameras around the entire neighborhood, partially because I’ve only heard HOA as referring to suburban residential communities, and usually have heard “board” or “committee” being used for building or townhome setups.

From the context of the post, I’m assuming it is personal garages attached to houses, and the theft was from specific neighbors that left the garage door open, not from a parking garage building.

Currently replaying the Sly Cooper series, it will always be a favorite of mine

My reply was more about special use cases not being a good excuse that Linux isn’t ready. You’re right, most stuff people can easily do on a tablet or a phone, and that same stuff works just as well on a Linux machine. So someone that wants to do that stuff, but wants a machine more powerful than a tablet, can run Linux without issues.

I mostly just game and browse the Internet and my daily driver is Linux. I have not come across anything that I needed Windows for so far, in a year and a half of not using Linux. There may be some games I was vaguely interested in that don’t run easily on Linux, but day to day tasks, 3d printing/slicing software, basic image editing software, browsers, coding IDEs, all work native on Linux.

Sure, if there is a specific software that you really want to use, maybe that specific software isn’t available on Linux. But one individual running into multiple things that only run on Windows sounds like it is a fairly specific use case. At best, someone might need to use an alternative program. At worst, maybe that person needs to keep a windows environment around. But that doesn’t seem like the case for the majority of people.

I’m sorry, I meant it incredulous, like “excuse me, it’s weird to ask that”

Still using it? Celsius was invented less than 20 years after Farenheit, in the first half of the 1700s, and initially Farenheit was much more widely used (primarily by Britain). Both have benefits; Farenheit is more granular, but Celsius is easier to apply alongside Metric measurements.

But that’s also assuming that it stays at just over triple digits, doesn’t it? 125F is just as valid as 101F, and that’s without going to something ridiculous like 872F.

0F, or -9F if negatives are included in this, can definitely be very dangerous, but can be prepared for and compensated for more easily than temperatures over 110F.

“Last Christmas”, any version

I’m also a millennial, and I think it depends a lot on rapport as well. If you regularly talk with someone in text form, and consistently use punctuation, it probably doesn’t come off as passive aggressive than if you suddenly respond with the trailing period. It also probably makes one-word responses a lot more abrupt.

I agree with above, replying “Cool!”, or “That’s cool!” would likely go over much better in that context

Half-Life, Thief, and the original Sims games (City, Ant, etc) were my original gaming go-tos!

As someone else that doesn’t go to a gym, it is a combination of: they enjoy working out or do so for another reason, they don’t have the space for gym equipment at home, they can’t afford to buy and maintain the gym equipment they want to use, the gym they attend offers classes or personal training guidance, they enjoy the atmosphere and encouragement of working out with other like-minded individuals.

It isn’t something magical, it may just not be for you.

Vital to get into the habit of only putting clutter in that spot, though. Having a physical inbox is useless if you still put junk everywhere else (unless you are really good at scanning the rest of the areas to declutter to the inbox).

Which was the center, and which was the side? Like, I’m assuming most/a large portion of people with 2 monitors have one straight on and the secondary monitor offset, but is the secondary monitor offset to the left, or offset to the right?

There certainly are different calibers of personal life questions that can be asked, but I’m pretty sure in the example above it is about freezing without an answer entirely. “I’m sorry, but I don’t feel comfortable answering questions not related to the position” would probably pass their litmus just as well as listing some hobbies.

Windows 8 to Windows 10, and Windows 10 to Windows 11 didn’t have the exact same workflows either. That’s a big part of the reason many people that had compatible hardware didn’t upgrade to 11 when given the chance. I think we need to stop trying to cater to expectations of things working exactly the same and instead educate on “things are going to change, but you can be in control of how they change”.

I just refresh the page and it works fine

That’s just on Indiana Jones and bad optimization. There are still plenty of other, newer games that should run perfectly fine. Of course the big, chunky games that are marketed as “Look at how graphically intense this is! Look at the ray tracing!” are going to run poorly.

Though I will absolutely agree that a lot of studios are throwing optimization out the window when developing new games, just relying on the latest hardware to power through it.

Sure, but the $ is signifying the following numbers refer to money. And people can write it differently than they say it. I will say “June 1st” much, much more often than “the 1st of June”, but I will also almost always write it “01 June <YEAR>”.

But the reason it is much more common in the USA to write dates as “June 1, <YEAR>” is because that is how it is often spoken here. That doesn’t need to be consistent across other speech and writing patterns, it’s just how it developed. Probably goes back to the printing press like a lot of the other oddities in writing here…
