Number of features that is has? Sure.

Number of features that I need? Google Sheets wins.

As I use Excel at work, I’d be happy if you prove me wrong here. Just yesterday I needed to do a simple search/replace with regular expressions. My solution was to copy the data to Google Sheets.

I spent some time looking into this, getting nowhere. What’s your favorite library that actually works for you?

I don’t use a sound bar because it’s cheap, I can get surround sound for half the price.

I use a sound bar because I don’t want speakers anywhere but on the TV, plus a subwoofer hidden away.

And it sounds waaay better than just the TV.

(Although the box said that it delivers surround sound, but in that respect it’s no better than the built in speakers, as expected.)

Some people think “not showering” means to wash in any other way. Some people think “not showering” means to not wash at all.

Almost every single comment here reads totally different depending on the readers assumption.

I spent a few minutes researching this, and I still have no idea what the problem is. Or any motivation to keep researching.

Honestly, I might be part of the problem. I’m a white guy, and there are basically no black people in my life. I don’t see any in the streets, at work, at home or here. Especially here, I have no idea who anyone is.

Basically, I have no reason to get involved. However, I don’t want to be part of the problem. So if you spoonfeed me information I can use to make life better for “the blackness” (I’m very confused about the terminology), I will happily read it and try to remember it.

So don’t just tell me the solution, none of the TLDR makes any sense to me. Spend a few words on the problem.

As far as I can tell, there’s basically two kinds of people:

1 - People who just don’t care about other people in the Fediverse. They will not read any of this, there’s nothing you can write here that will change anything for them.

2 - People who are trying to be nice, but don’t always succeed. They will listen to advice, but nothing will change by telling them to be nice, be less racist, or to listen to people even if they are black. That’s what they are already trying to do.

Those conditions would be illegal to put a pig in here.

I agree.

I usually think of that as documentation, not comments.

But even so, the code should say what it does, with a good name. The documentation adds details.

My first PC was FULL of memory. It had ALL the memory. No amount of money could add more. It had 640KB. It was crazy.

My first computer wasn’t a PC, it had 64KB RAM. I never needed more.

The cops aren’t going to sit there and wait for the person to start shooting at them.

That’s what they do in countries where non-criminals aren’t afraid of the police, and they seem to do much better both in terms of staying safe and keeping the citizens safe.

I live in Denmark, Europe. One Bic Mac meal is 9.39 USD incl taxes.

The minimum salary in McDonals is around 3500 USD per month for a standard 37 hr/week, including pension.

This is every month, not affected by holidays, sick leave, paid vacation… It comes with 5 or 6 weeks of paid vacation per year, and virtually unlimited sick leave.

Yeah, I also don’t understand why McDonald’s says they can’t raise salaries or improve working conditions, because it will make the price go up. So why is it expensive now?

(Yes, taxes are high here. But we also have a lot of stuff that is tax paid, that evens it out somewhat.)

So $10 plus a $3 tip is “paying extra” to you people

Yes. The price is 10. I pay 13. That’s 3 more. Simple math.

you’re gonna happily pay the same shitty owner $15 "and no more

That’s a straw man argument. I probably won’t support a shitty owner at any price.

What I want is to know the price up front, without checking for loopholes, adding tips and whatever. I don’t care how simple the math is, or how much I love math or how good I am at calculating in my head, or how big the impact is to my personal economy.

I see a price, I either pay it or I don’t. There’s a reason that anything else is literally illegal where I live.

You’re welcome to have your opinion, this is mine.

Again, I don’t mind tipping if I actually get extra. I’m a big tipper, if I get more than I’m paying for.

just licking some capitalist footwear under the guise of a kind of false consumerism

Wow, that’s American level defense of capitalism. Where I’m from, we pay a lot more attention to consumer rights and employee rights.

Fair enough, they can both be shit. I just don’t see how it’s my responsibility as a customer, to fix the problem that the resto is underpaying its staff.

The way I usually do my part to help workers who are not treated well, is to boycott the employer. If tipping is seen as a solution to that problem, I’d call that enabling. Tipping is the only reason restos can get away with grossly underpaying their staff. I don’t want to support that.

Are you seriously saying that the customer who pays full price and no more is “a piece of shit”, and not management who chooses to underpay the staff?

I’m not having any of that. I’d rather just not eat out. Enjoy no tip AND one less customer.

I’ll pay extra when I get extra. I paid over 150% yesterday. I’ve given big tips for free services. People sometimes give my cash tip back assuming I accidentally gave them 10x my intention. But not when it’s a simple transaction when I get what I ordered and I’m paying the advertised price.

Seemingly. 🙂

My ISP only has symmetric. The cheapest one they advertise costs about 10 Big Macs per month.

I can’t speed test my connection as my wifi is the bottleneck. But the way our law is, they can’t really lie about speed. The “up to” trick was banned a long time ago.
