That's one of those things that never really clicked with me until recently. An EO is the equivalent of a memo from your boss. The worst they can do for ignoring it is fire you.

This site is borderline unusable on a mobile device.

This does not compute. You're presumably using your phone to complete this transaction? I can literally take my phone out of my pocket, unlock it with a thumb print, and wave it at the card reader to pay via my debit card. If you're ordering online the checkout process is identical enough enough using PayPal, Venmo, or a stored card. I would have to assume Klarna is the exact same number of steps?

It depends on the purpose. For project notes, if it's something I'll need to reference more than a week from now, it goes into OneNote. But my to-do list, or anything similar, if I don't physically write it down it doesn't get remembered. I've carried a composition book around most of my professional life.

This matches my experience as well. I took so many notes in college I had basically a bankers box full of notebooks when I graduated. Rarely ever read them after I wrote them. Just the act of pen to paper was sufficient to adequately store most of it upstairs. And most of it done in cursive. I have passable penmanship when I take the time to do it, but if I'm writing quickly my print (or whatever the antonym of cursive is) is unreadable, at least my cursive is half-ass legible. Typing? Mostly forgotten by the time I start typing the next sentence.

That smells like bullshit to me. In what language? This article puts the world record at 300-ish. "To put this in perspective, remember that 40 WPM is the average typing speed for most people. At 300 WPM, Rocket is well over seven times as fast. Faster, even, than most courtroom stenographers, who use specialized keyboards and phonetic shorthand to achieve speeds of around 225 WPM."

That was the original spec, but was dropped due to budgetary concerns. People are cheap, hardware is expensive.

I should have been less crass about it. I understand there are completely valid reasons to use such a service.

I've done the doordash thing exactly once. Waste of money. Paid for the meal. Paid for the delivery. Paid a tip. Ate cold food.

Other than it being more expensive, slower, and all-around worse, it was perfect.

You're arguing with a poorly implemented LLM. Save your breath.

Is it uncontroversial, though? I can't be the only one on here that thinks paying someone else to go pick up a burrito for you is fundamentally stupid.

Agreed. If it's not obvious, I'm not in favor either. And you are correct, it is not as straight forward as "bills are cheaper to make", nor "coins last longer". There's a lot of nuance.

Honestly, no I don't think it would. It is incredibly rare for me to start the day with coins in my pocket, eliminating dollar bills isn't going to change that. The only thing that would change is I'd probably have a handful of dollar coins in my desk at work, to go along with the smaller coins already there, that might eventually get fed into the vending machine. If they don't go in the vending machine they go into the jar at home. Eventually they go back to the bank.

Maybe I'm unique in this aspect, but I just don't use a lot of cash. It's not rare for me to literally have zero cash on me. I used to keep 1.25$ in coins in my car for if I forgot to make coffee in the morning, I could swing through the gas station and not have to run a card. Now that a cup of coffee is damn near $2 I just run the stupid debit card.

I don't understand. Are you suggesting that someone's willingness to volunteer is proportional to their propensity to pick majors that are "less valuable" for some reason?

No, that's not what it's like, but thanks for trying. If you want a stupid sports analogy: It's like recognizing that someone who doesn't shoot as well as the top Point Guards or Shooting Guards may still have a lot of value as a more defensive role like a Center.

Why? Are you saying you can't fathom how someone's willingness to contribute to society without needing to be financially compensated might be viewed as a positive quality?

I'd call that "Another day in the Trump administration."
