While I’m generally not one for this sort of thing, I feel like comparing him to someone with cerebral palsy (the origin of “spaz”) is a bit harsh.

At least most of them try to be nice people.

As an example, the very specialized /r/IPv6 community seems to have adapted fairly well to Discord.

I have two USB-C cables on my desk plus a Lightning cable.

Those two cables will charge my two laptops, my mouse, my PS5 controller, my iPad Pro, and my battery packs. I rarely find a scenario where I need to charge more than 2 at once.

Meanwhile the Lightning cable is only ever for my phone.

Yes, you want more than one cable, but USB-C means you can just have a couple of identical chargers that are big enough for your largest device but can charge anything. No more trying to find the right charger for the right device.

Tumblr CEO David Karp reported to Yahoo’s Simon Khalaf, founder of the analytics platform Flurry (also acquired by Yahoo). In an anecdote from an unnamed former employee, Khalaf walked into one team meeting about Tumblr saying the popular blogging platform was “going to be the new PDF.”

“It didn’t make any sense,” the employee recounted. “We’d walk away scratching our heads.”

I’m with them on this. That makes zero sense.

Mine was more towards the end. When my previous employer started talking about people coming back to the office, I started job hunting.

I found a fully remote role that paid an extra 30%. Within a year of working for them, they have me a promotion that was another 25% on top.

In the middle of all that I met my now-fiancée.

So just in the last two years, everything has gotten better.

Waze is quite a different experience than Google Maps when driving, so it’s made sense to keep them as two separate apps.

Google Maps is “I want to get from point A to point B in a normal way.”

Waze is “I want the most aggressively quick way; no back street is too small for me.”

I feel like OP has gone too far with the editorialised headline this time, as the only thing that’s happening at this point is switching Waze over to use the standard Google ad platform rather than their custom system.

I recognised a location from one of the crash compilations once. I just had to send it to a friend, as it was the exact same circumstances (including the intersection) as an accident he was in 5 years earlier. There are a couple of give way signs in North Kellyville that people love to fly through.

A month or two ago I sent one to my family because there some footage from a town up near where they live.

Then there’s the occasional road I recognise, but generally because it’s a major road in Sydney like Victoria Road or Warringah Road. Or the time that someone did a u-turn on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Regular movement results in regular movement.

Same here. Aside from one of the injections (brief stinging/pinching pain in the roof of my mouth), the entire process was painless and I didn’t even need painkillers afterwards.

That said, I can see how there’s a lot of room for different experiences between countries, different orthodontists/dentists, and even between individual patients depending on which tooth and how bad the decay was.

With APAC concerts only happening in Japan, Singapore, and Australia, basically half the region wants to come to Australia for this. I even found an article from India about how to buy the tickets for Australian shows (since Taylor apparently never goes to India).

Hopefully this makes it a little easier for her fans to get tickets tomorrow.
