tbh if I start worrying about poop particles in my day to day, I fear I'm one step closer to becoming a germaphobe. plus I feel if that's something that truly worries you, you'd start taking showers after each poop because clearly you will bring some poop particles with you when you leave anyway.

maybe this thread will end up being some kind of revelation, but I very much agree with the person you replied to. If I'm alone, I'm not bothered and the door may as well stay open


Sure, you can't get rid of everything. But you can mitigate a few things, and closing the door is such an easy fix... There's worrying too much, and there's not worrying enough


of course it is. this seems so obvious to me.

I even wrote into chatGPTs "memory" to NOT ASK FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS, because it's crazy annoying imo. it respects it about 40% of the time I'd say


Do you not have a self-hosted instance of every single service you use? :/


No. But for the important ones, yes I do.

Everything in and around my house is working fully offline


They are all over this thread with hot takes.


> So he should just eat the cost that will add up over time, which is an unsustainable business model?

No, I think he should just not have built this product. However, this is my personal feeling and it seems there is some kind of market for it, so what do I know.


FYI for anyone not aware it's CMD + Shift + 4 (no option)


Oops. Thank you!


Please no. I can never remember which Cali area we're on. I almost always know which year it is. This has been long overdue. Should have learned their lesson from OS X and gone that way after iOS 10 the latest.


I genuinely do not understand how anybody could listen to Trump saying something about a topic he clearly does not know about (of which there are a couple -- let's face it) and describe it as "selling".

I'm not at all attacking you here by the way. But I'm legit speechless at that interpretation of his senile rambling.


It is rambling but he's enthusiastic and he doesn't talk down to his supporters. When he's telling people that illegal immigrants are eating people's pets he speaks to his audience the way a friend would tell you that they caught the co-worker no one likes not flushing the toilet. There's shock, surprise, a bit of humor but not like he's a teacher lecturing.

Harris on the other hand. There wouldn't be a joke. She'd take some time to explain why flushing the toilet was something everyone should do. Then she'd finish up by letting you know that she too always flushes.


One people on the planet do this.


I'd bought the laptop first, got the MM because it's small and good for travel and using the top as a trackpad/scroller.

Then I bought an iMac and the 2nd MM came with it.

I'm pretty sure that I'm not that unusual.


> I'd sooner believe it's because they want you to buy 2 of them, so you can charge one while using the other.

We're discussing in this context. I still stand by the claim that there are probably around zero people on the planet that bought a second MM specifically to use it while the other one is charging.

I'm not doubting that there exists a group of people that happen to have acquired two MMs, however that came to be.


I'm personally not saying that excuses it, but I've once read that it was an absolutely conscious decision by Apple to put the port where it is.

A lot of people tend to simply leave the mouse plugged into a cable when using it, even once it's charged. Apple is famous for the image that they would like their products to convey. They don't want people leaving the mouse plugged in because it's convenient or they're unable to act on a month-long warning. They want to force you to use the mouse as it was designed -- wireless.

I'm not saying it's good, I don't have one myself and I plainly don't like the ergonomics of it. I like the look and I think I would be able to work around the port-location constraint, but it just doesn't feel nice to hold.

Pretty to look at, though.
