Sounds like they made functions that aren't easily accessed through keyboard shortcuts more prominent and kept the menu clean by tucking away the ones most folks activate through keyboard shortcuts. Not necessarily a bad decision. But when they make these changes to long-standing layouts, they...

I usually do tea in the morning and almost always make it myself at home. It's hard to find anywhere in these parts that knows how to serve tea. I would never return to a business that pulled a stunt like that with the parking even if they did eventually clear it. Then again here in the...

You're confounding simplified tax and flat tax. They aren't the same. Side note: I'm middle class and my taxes are absurdly easy - even when I do them myself.

Ten per cent to a person making $250/week is not the same pain as 10% is to Elon Musk. For one, it very well could mean going without food for several nights or more that week. For the other it's a rough stock market day followed by a Marijuana-fueled tweet storm. I'll leave it to you to...

Maybe they meant Anglo-Saxon?

The poetry I've seen from these chatbots has been really unimpressive - every effort seems to go into the rhyme with no attention to meter. I half wonder if it's anything to do with the poor quality of most of the popular poetry these days... There once was a bot quite a-chatty, Spinning rhymes...

As long as the amount of money available keeps pace with the price increases, it's just a number.

I usually include the name in the first quote only. Agreed. Though for subsequent quotes, I also leave off the name. They probably didn't write anything worth reading anyway.

This is hardly new - been like this for years in many circles. Also, who "stands for" date terminology? Seems an odd hill to die on...

I've never noticed this. The difference must not amount to much over the course of the ride...?
