Fauntleroy··on Road planners embrace the diverging diamond interchange
Thank you for recording the video. I figured the intersection would need a duplicate on the other end to reverse traffic flow back into place, and your recording helped me confirm that was actually the case. Seeing it in motion, it's actually better than I originally thought it would be.
Fauntleroy··on She Was 29. And Doctors Helped Her Die
Despite my own misgivings about American conservatism, I don't think it's correct or appropriate to suggest that they would prefer for suicidal people to shoot themselves.
Fauntleroy··on She Was 29. And Doctors Helped Her Die
Care to elaborate on this? It does seem quite pertinent to the conversation.
Fauntleroy··on Fentanyl is fueling a record number of youth drug deaths
While it doesn't encompass the entire issue, China's involvement in the fentanyl (and other US drug crises) should be mentioned more often. America needs to wake up and do something—anything—about this asymmetrical warfare attack.

The "hypothesis" is that you can, in fact, dislike it when people are criminally underpaid by corporations, even if it is supposedly a "good" wage.
Fauntleroy··on One-third of Amazon warehouse workers are on food stamps or Medicaid

Almost feels like OP's message was a "AI" generated
Fauntleroy··on LDAPjs decomissioned by maintainer over hateful email
It's a great example of the barking dog effect. Put up a barrier between people that they know can't be crossed, and they'll just let loose the wildest aggression possible. The second that barrier is gone, they're back to "normal". It's frightening seeing people's impulses revealed while the barrier is up.
Fauntleroy··on Not an iPad Pro Review: Why iPadOS Still Doesn't Get the Basics Right
It's sad to see so much effort put into reviews like this when it's obvious Apple keeps iPadOS kneecapped on purpose to prevent cannibalization of MacBook sales. All of the author's hopes and dreams are naught when Apple simply doesn't want to fix any of the issues pointed out.

Devs will do literally anything to avoid writing actual CSS

This loosens the definition of the word "brainwashing" so much that the term becomes meaningless.

Yeah I'm really wondering what OP's income is like now
Fauntleroy··on 'Pacifist' Japan is tooling up for war
They're referring to the sudden end of support for Ukraine, done at the behest of Donald Trump. Republican lawmakers were actually considering continuing it until he demanded they not do so.
Fauntleroy··on China Tells Telecom Carriers to Phase Out Foreign Chips in Blow to Intel, AMD
This doesn't make the CCP's methods any less insidious.
Fauntleroy··on Half of U.S. Homeowners and Renters Struggle to Afford Their Housing Payments
Oh nice, where are these 250K houses?
Fauntleroy··on If Inheritance is so bad, why does everyone use it?
Tailwind is not a panacea—it has its own problems which withhold adoption, "kneejerk reactions" notwithstanding.
Fauntleroy··on Rents are soaring. Is RealPage to blame?
Society's singular focus on shareholder returns is strangling everything. It feels like no good can be done in this world unless it makes the holy line go up. It's maddening.
Fauntleroy··on Rents are soaring. Is RealPage to blame?
I would love to buy a home, but cannot due to the extreme cost, therefore I rent. This is definitely not unique to me.
Fauntleroy··on Is Economic Deprivation the Real Cause of the Adolescent Mental Health Crisis?
We can't really ignore Climate Change, as it is something that is currently occurring and unlikely to stop. Also, it is slowly but surely having disastrous effects on society at large.
Fauntleroy··on CityGaussian: Real-time high-quality large-scale scene rendering with Gaussians
Indeed, this very much looks like what we'll likely see from Google Earth within a decade—or perhaps half that.
Fauntleroy··on US appeals court kills ban on plastic containers contaminated with PFAS
Wouldn't banning the material also lead to market pressure to develop containers that aren't in violation? Why are we ignoring this point?
Fauntleroy··on Return-to-Office Mandates: How to Lose Your Best Performers

Naturally, OP has abandoned this indefensible position.

What does single vs two parent households have to do with this?
Fauntleroy··on Is GPT-4 a good data analyst? (2023)
These tools are great at generating text responses, some of which are usable, but not analysis. We're actually far from that. I'm not sure why some people are out here pretending this is not the case.
Fauntleroy··on Inclusive Sans: Text font designed for accessibility and readability
This typeface bears more than a passing resemblance to Circular, whose owner is known for litigating unauthorized usage. I'm concerned this will become a problem for Inclusive Sans or its users.
Fauntleroy··on [dead]
Remarkably cruel law, but this really isn't the forum for this discussion.
Fauntleroy··on House passes bill to force TikTok sale from Chinese owner or ban the app
The Western world is in dire, dire need of education on geopolitics.
Fauntleroy··on Insecure vehicles should be banned, not security tools like the Flipper Zero
