Great, time to proxy through AWS, Azure and GCP so that these muppets block Spain from everything.

Great incentive to never buy a device you don't get to own and never pay for "libraries" where you don't get the durable files.

For me, too many people seem to be happy about things of no consequence at all.

Ate pizza? Made plans to go to a casino? Cut your hair? Come on.

Sometimes it's fine to be content with trivial things. Sometimes that's all you've got. It isn't wrong to be grateful and happy when small things happen for you. A lot of us should practice appreciating it more, in my opinion.

And frankly, the bigger things, the more substantial things; those are fewer and farther between. They're harder to populate a map like this with. They're certainly preferably in some ways, but realistically, it's not the primary stuff of surveys like this.

Haha, speaking of simple pleasures. One of my favourite experiences to have these days is reading these with my son.

Some of my top strips are the ones where Calvin and Susie Derkins are grown up and Calvin is having successive crises about everything she says or does.

I brought a surprise!

Let's hope it's a divorce...

Those also being wonderful parodies of soap opera comics like Rex Morgan is great, especially for Comics Curmudgeon enjoyers: https://joshreads.com

Children/family = least agency, while buying something = most agency? I must be misunderstanding something big time.

You can’t always control what your children or family do. You are in control of what you buy.

I have 3 kids and they are still young and I barely control how they behave :) It will be even more terrible later

You can (and indeed must) control a lot about whether family, especially children, make you happy.

Also many people don't seem to control what they buy.

The makes sense when you look at the responses themselves.

Children/family are mostly containing answers such as "My son visited me on Mother's Day.", which you can't really cause yourself.

Of course you can, you just have to cause it years in advance.

You can anodize aluminium black relatively easily, similar to this

Getting the shade right could be tricky though.

The strait is wider than horizon distance from reasonable heights. Also that's how you don't hear back from the analyst in many different ways.

Going out of your way to make sure the gauge doesn't work after the battery is replaced surely is.

I wonder if the gauge is just a horrible design that uses the battery to keep some memory alive.

Microcontrollers with persistent memory are not expensive, so something like that would just be horrible design, not something you could even try to justify as a cost reduction.

Oh, I suppose it is using the battery to write after shutdown. Bleh.

Why would a newspaper openly try to doxx someone who did nothing wrong?

Clearly the guy doesn't want to be public and there is no public interest in figuring him out either.

"Created" or "originally used" would be on point, 60 years after the fact it is just slop.

60? Not even 40.
