Also, this statement applies EVERYWHERE.

cluster bombs just fling granades all over a city block at random

That gave me the mental image of an Age of Empires 2 mangonel.

So here’s what happened recently:

• I opened the Google News widget on my Android phone, saw a Sponsored link, and found it interesting
• Clicked on it, the link opened in Chrome, opening the googleadservices redirection thingummy
• Took over 5 seconds to process the redirect
• I exited the browser

Guess who missed ad money?

But of course, maybe they got the ad money and the only losers were:

• me, who didn’t get to see the website that might actually have had something I wanted
• the website owner, who not only didn’t get my business but also had to pay Google, because Google most probably processed the ad first and didn’t care to process the redirect

I feel like I understand why they removed the “Do no evil” sign. Because now, they are messing with both, the product and the customers, only providing as much as is required to take their money, instead of the full, advertised service.

Sell your wardrobe fridge and replace it with a small one.
If the stuff does not fit in your fridge, don’t buy it.

And what @[email protected] said. Over here, milk comes in 1L packets with a 2 day expiry. I only buy for 2-3 days at a time and every time I go out to buy milk, I also refill groceries.

Stuff over here is not more than 10km away, so I can use a bicycle.

But that “Peter” guy told me to “eat veggies” when I asked him how he managed to easily and acrobatically evade that incoming high speed vehicle! Why didn’t he tell me to “eat meat” instead?

I don’t eat meat (mostly a taste thing), but I’d definitely gift it to a nearby chap doing a bbq after the smack.
Not to waste something that could become food, right?

The dude is just staying alert in case another one comes to the dude, trying to do the same thing as the original one.
Seems like the dude would do the same to any other kind of organism trying the same thing on the dude (perhaps you can try biting the dude’s neck to see if you get the written reaction).

I’ll call that immunisation.

It would make a lot of sense to the company trying to decide how large their production run should be.

For the customer, it only really makes sense if they are getting something out of it, like immunity to possible price hikes at launch.

I don’t pre-order, but then, I am a late stage buyer, so it doesn’t really apply to me.

Sarcasm is fun too!

Isn’t that what a minute is for?

Well that is an easy fix! proceeds to empty 3 tyres

fun is important

Well of course the unexploded land mine is not dangerous.
By the time the danger comes to you, it will be an exploding land mine or an exploded land mine.

What makes stuff like the [X] button on the corner and Alt+F4 intuitive?
Multiple years of having used MS Windows and similar looking software as a student.

They got the marketing part right here, at least.

But if we are being inclusive, nothing really is intuitive.

I have seen BTech graduates struggle with installing software using the Wizard that is so omnipresent on Windows, so I don’t expect anything to be intuitive at this point.

Yeah, maybe just leave all that for people born in 2030.

And unless you are expecting significant traffic, you can use an old Core2Quad with 2GB RAM and it will work just fine.

I speak cursive.
