Wow, so "two bits" is what Roger says in response to Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I can hear it now, but I never actually knew what was said.
I thought Drupal 6 and 7 were great, but this was about 5-10 years ago. Haven't looked at it since then. It was the first CMS I worked with professionally, so I may be biased, but once I "got it", it became quick to add features (not "Features", which wasn't very fun). This was before everything went headless and javascript :)
Drupal 6/7 was actually what led me to discover headless and JS :) After I learned it and built a few features & Features, I thought to myself, "Huh, okay, I see what they're getting at here... it's pretty powerful, just hard to use. Wonder if there's an easier way to do this..."
Turns out, absolutely yes! I guess there's a reason why headless and JS exploded. We migrated and never looked back.
I'm gonna go ahead and say everything. It's faster, no ads, beautifully designed so that it really shines on iOS, you can customize it to no end, ... the list goes on. Check it out on the AppStore if you like (or wait and see how this all turns out beforehand).
A big thing for me is no mystery meat algorithmic feeds… just the subreddits you’ve subscribed to or /all or /popular if you want to look at those. The official Reddit app is bad about doing things like showing you posts from washing machine subreddits because you looked at a post about washing machines once months ago while doing purchase research and it’s really annoying.
Oh there's none of that. You only see the subreddits you visit or any conglomeration thereof, such as multireddits or simply the frontpage. Unless you're subscribed to r/washingmachines, you'll never see a post from there. I didn't even know that was a thing in the official app, that turns me off even more.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a legitimate use for Reddit chat… the only time I’ve ever been messaged is by spambots and any redditor I care to message is also on some other platform that does messaging better.
I buy/sell physical goods on several large subreddits and I’ve found that chats are the fastest way to get a response and close a deal. The old private message system is clunky by comparison.
Yep, white lies. The underlying rationale is that kids do throw up in pools and you don't want to get into a public argument with a kid about how they're not going to throw up, can they go in pretty please.
It's like the thing about getting arrested for turning on the lights inside a moving car. No, you won't get arrested, but the reflection on the windshield can be annoying, and getting distracted by kids going ham on flicking the lights on and off is obviously dangerous.
As a kid, I always wanted to go swimming (swimming pool or sea) as soon as I finished eating. My parents told me not to because of the cramps. "You must wait an hour before swimming".
It wasn't about throwing up and as an adult I finally understand it: they wanted to have a chat at the table after eating, take it slowly, maybe they were a bit drowsy. What they didn't want to do was to look after kids doing potentially dangerous activities such as swimming. So that hour of waiting? A period of grace for them to enjoy their meal and maybe rest for a short while.
Nah, it's definitely the hygiene thing. Pools often forbid food and drinks at the deck for the same reason: if someone dirties the pool water, they basically need to close off the whole pool and recycle the pool water for a few hours, which is super inconvenient for all parties involved (and obviously embarrassing for the parents of the kid who made the mess). You'd be surprised at how often these things happen.
In British Columbia, Canada, the BC Motor Vehicle Act mentions interior lamps in connection with larger passenger vehicles. In addition to requiring that they have them, it has this requirement that they be on while driving at night:
Interior lamp
10.20 (1) A commercial passenger vehicle shall be equipped with a
lamp or lamps within the vehicle so arranged to illuminate
the aisle of the vehicle to the rear of the driver.
(2) A person driving a commercial pass enger vehicle having a
seating capacity including the driver of more than 12 occupants
shall insure that the light or lights referred to in subsection
(1) are illuminated at all times that passengers are being
carried between sunset and sunrise.
AFAIK, that's meant for buses, and it's the same rationale as airplane floor lights (i.e. illumination is necessary to avoid falls from tripping in the dark, e.g. if the passenger is going to the toilet, which some buses have).
We had a child swim in our pool immediately after eating and she threw up. Probably where that one came from. Kind of like how it is bad luck to open an umbrella inside. It's not bad luck, but somebody might get poked in the eye.
They retain value. You could buy one used and sell it for more, if not the same price you purchased it at. I think the worst case is you'll essentially be renting it for $100-200 if you really don't like it. This was my experience, anyway.
It's a great device even if your job isn't music production. Easy to use, lots of fun, though I didn't enjoy the form factor.
They only retain value if they sit unused. Units that see regular use almost always have some break in the first year or 2, and replacement parts are not cheap.
Yeah I can see that. The one I had saw regular use when in my possession, but I had it for less than 6 months iirc. It was still in excellent condition.
I can't parse what you're saying. Are you saying the quote I replied to is correct?
In any case, I think always is close enough to fit. Yes, sometimes someone gets something very cheaply but that's usually because of ignorance or urgency from the selling party, deception, etc., etc. In a natural market interaction, if you're paying bottom dollar you are not and cannot be getting the best quality (unless you are in a scenario where the offering is flat: the best offering is also the worst).
