Yup. And I've got my USB (A) to DB9 serial adapter handy.
Which is unreliable in many situations. I worked on several projects that had issues involving intermittent data loss on a DB9 port, and every time the culprit turned out to be a USB/DB9 adapter. When we'd install dedicated RS232 cards, the problem went away.
For laptops, the answer to this kind of thing should be a standard space where a customer can specify what ports he wants... you get X number of standard ports, and then you can choose what goes into one or two available spaces. But you're just not going to see that happen with manufacturers, even if the customer is willing to pay a greater cost.
It asks the question why don't kids play outside anymore and then in the next frame there's a picture of a pretty typical American city with absolutely no sidewalks let alone Parks or anything and the subtitle "the outside".
You give up a portion of your life in exchange for cars and a car centric civilization. And I guess for most people they think it's worth it.
Except that I spent some years growing up in dense, street-centric areas, and kids simply played in the streets. Every day. Our substitute for baseball (so as not to damage cars or windows) was "whiffle ball", with hollow plastic balls and bats. In the summers especially, we spent literally all day outside. In the streets. For kids who did this too much, the criticism was literally that "you let your kids run the streets".
Being car-centric has nothing to do with kids activity. The spread of video games and Internet connected culture had everything to do with the modern dearth of outdoor activity by kids. All of my youngest's friends are online in distant places. There are other kids in the neighborhood, but very few of them play outside that I can see. Online is where all the action is. Maybe the answer is for parents to literally kick kids out of the house, they way they used to do ("out, and I don't want to see you back inside until lunch" was a common summer refrain from parents). Maybe if all the kids are turned out, they'll start doing the natural thing, and make their own fun, which is all "outside" is.
Tipping culture is absurd top to bottom, people should be paid a decent wage.
Tipping is great in good service jobs. You tend to make good money in mid-to-nicer restaurants as a waiter or waitress. Where tipping sucks is when you work in cheap joints with cheap customers. Or delivering pizza, like you did in college, where your customers tend to be either poor or cheapskates. Poor people can't afford to tip, and cheapskates simply won't. And then there are the groups that simply refuse to tip because they don't see labor or service as a value at all. "If I can't hold it in my hand, I ain't payin' for it".
This might not be such a good idea as Vegas was begging Canada to come back. Their tourism isnâ(TM)t what it used to be and talk of 51st state has turned off Canadian tourism.
Rsilvergun is 100% correct. The "religious right" never gave a crap about abortion, they're just Fucking Crossburners in the line of Falwell.
If EVERY fucking time I search, I get "HEY TRY OUR AI SEARCH TRY TRY TRY TRY OUR AI SEARCH" then FUCK GOOGLE. May that fucking enshittified company die in a fucking plague.
The only thing I'll mourn is that Nazi Fuck Zuck's "Meta" didn't die first.
Who needs to read minds? We have the OPEN STATEMENTS that the Crossburning Shit Rag Republicans made on the campaign trail and on the floor of the House and Senate. We know PRECISELY what you Fucking Cross Burning America Hating Anti-Education Pieces of Klan Shit said.
Now kill yourself RightWingFuckFace. Give yourself the prescribed punishment for treason in the Constitution. It's what you deserve, all know you're an America-Hating Valor Stealing Criminal SACK OF SHIT.
Also a way to circumvent separation of church and state.
BINGO. "School Vouchers" is just the Reich-Wing White-Supremacist Shitbag Republican Party's rebranding of Segregation Academies.
"School Voucher Programs" are just Segregation Academy bullshit. We all know what you Fucking Cross Burning Inbred Shit Sacks are on about with it.
Stick a shotgun in your face and pull the trigger you Fucking Crossburning Klan Shitbag.
System going down at 1:45 this afternoon for disk crashing.
