- RankingMemberMy only beef with that one was the slippery soap-bar edges if used without a case. Otherwise, yep, perfect size, disappears in pocket.
- Glad to see a case that could've very easily gone sideways due to its technical nature come out right.

- We've unfortunately come a long (bad) way from the innocuous "backpack girl" parking pages.

- I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
- The difference is that they didn't brag about how easy it would be before failing
- Yeah I think it'll be location dependent. FWIW I've got both by me and they're equally terrible as far as the availability and knowledge of their employees. Lowes edges out Home Depot a tiny bit for me simply because I've never been accosted by a sanctioned in-store roaming sales person for solar or siding at Lowes (yet!).
- Thanks for reminding me to uninstall that godawful app, which is like their website, but somehow even slower/clunkier.
- It's important to note that this is just Airbus's best guess as to the cause, as there's no smoking gun: they simply exhausted their troubleshooting and were left scratching their heads so this was the "least unlikely" cause they could come up with given the circumstances.
- You've reminded me of the hellscape of Microsoft's "help" forums filled with people asking specific questions and getting their question closed with a barely-relevant response followed by many others commenting, essentially, "me too! why won't anyone help us?"
- I think we have a surplus of "awareness" tools/websites that are great at what they do, but not much "rubber meets the road" tools to guide the user in actually taking action based on the information presented. I, for one, feel a huge sense of fatigue at the amount of awareness I have of problems I don't have the tools/strategies/knowledge/time to solve.
(This is not a negative comment about this post btw, more just commentary on how the fire hose of "look at how bad this is in excruciating detail" can be overwhelming.)
- Pretty cool! I kept trying to cut the piece I had just cut again by doing a "Zorro"-style motion, but no such luck.
- Dubious or non-existent performance numbers, self-aggrandizing references to being in close contact with other, more famous/infamous CEOs/people, and the bluster of urgency as a smokescreen to hide the lack of anything concrete throughout- this Blake Scholl is following the Elon Musk playbook to a "T".
- 100%! I will always give the benefit of the doubt when I see odd syntax/grammar (and do my best to provide helpful correction if it's off-base to the extent that it muddies your point), but hit me with a wordy, em-dash battered pile of gobbledygook and you might as well be spitting in my face.
- I'm continually blown away that the modern titans of industry readily bow down to a glorified reality show egomaniac. Allying to price-fix is one thing, but surely they can ally to resist culture war nonsense from making its way into their employee handbooks?
- That skyscraper map is etched in my mind I played it so much
- > Chris Sawyer is my hero.
When I see his name I reflexively start hearing that iconic Transport Tycoon intro music play in my head.
