Ordinary people do not decide about the pay of others in actual reality.

Yes they do. Management/employers are not some special class of person.

So your reply has nothing do do with the pot it was replying to then. So why reply then?

"One last comment which is as you get faster, the keyboard starts to make a real difference."

Yep, that is why I continue to use Model Ms and Fs as much as I can, or at least clones like Unicomp's. Rubber dome keyboards are the worst.

Interesting that you immediately jumped to censorship. Why is that?

The muh freeze peach crowd are about the worst defenders of free speech I've ever met.

Speech is powerful and dangerous, which is why it is important and needs to be free. Pretending otherwise is to diminish it and erase the need for it to be protected.

It all depends on who you are optimizing for.

• Parents with kids would do better on standard time, because they have to take their kids to school before work.
• Everyone else with a 9-to-5 job may do better on DST, assuming a short commute distance, because sunrise at 7:20 instead of 8:20 just adds useless time before the morning commute, while sundown at 5:53 means driving home before dark.

There is no one correct answer, because which one fits your circadian rhythms better depends entirely on what time you wake up.

Anything that challenges your assumptions must be a joke. Therefore you never need to change your mind on anything!

Coll story bro. Got a citation for that "fact"?

They have been trained to view language as a tool that can cause real, psychological harm.

It absolutely 100% is.

In modern youth culture, the prevailing ethical rule is that the impact on the listener matters more than the intent of the speaker.

If you run over someone with a car by accident, they're just as dead whether you intended to or not. That's the thing really, harm is independent of intent and intent is not readily apparent.

Probably made by Philips (or Magnavox) given that the Philips name is on the box and then, like you said, branded by Microsoft. Either way I had no idea these even existed. Cool. Microsoft was known to do this occasionally, like with iRiver making the media player for their Portable Media Center OS.

AI is the pinnacle of human made slop that delivers sloppy seconds on command.

I'm one of those people that learned how to type 60+ WPM the wrong way (had a computer in the home since 1980 when I was 12). Those natural keyboards only made my typing much worse and slower, but like you I have heard others (that know how to type properly) rave about them.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those early PC cards.

The only Microsoft hardware I've ever been impressed with was their mouse. Now that Microsoft is a full-on spyware company I can't imagine ever wanting to own one of these laptops.

WTF is a Joule anyway?

A unit of torque, obviously.
