The world record for the triple jump [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_jump] is just over 18 meters, so quite a bit further than a 10 foot pole.

The current scare-term is "fully semi-automatic".

I can't believe this one isn't here yet:

I'd tell you a UDP joke, but you might not get it.

You can't perform the no-cost behavior of wearing a mask without, you know, _having_ a mask, which is not necessarily free.

So...what?

> Do you notice that they are holding drinks purchased from Starbucks while not wearing masks?

I'm interested in how you think they are supposed to consume the drinks while wearing masks.

You mean you can't figure things out from "public Session getSession(String, String, String, String, String)"?

Not standalone. Last I recall, they _do_ have one, but it's much more expensive than Quest, and didn't have very good reviews.

So, when do you plan to "cut the price by a thousand dollars"?

Yes, but the package is still _shipped_ before payment.

You mean writers forums?

Here's what has worked for me:

- Close the laptop, disconnect it from power supply, external monitor, etc., and put it out of the way. I'm sharing my big monitor with my work laptop and my personal desktop. After I shut down the laptop, I start up my desktop even if I don't plan to use it immediately, so I'm looking at my personal background, not my work one. - Get out of the apartment and take a walk; to the mailbox, around the block, whatever. When I was working downtown, I almost always went out for lunch, and walked to a coffeeshop a couple blocks away to read. Now, I take this walk after work; anywhere from 15-30 minutes. - Change clothes, as others have suggested. I'm much more casual now than I would be in the office, but I change into "workout" clothes before my walk.

You read the book; you're now the expert.

Must be a regional thing; I've never heard the term "slice pie".

Almost all the by-the-slice places I've been to take slices from their large or extra-large pies. The only exception I can think of would be Pinup Pizza on the Las Vegas strip (30 inch diameter pie).

The anti-2a people are being very quiet, partly because one of their arguments as to why you do not need a gun is because you can just call the police. But that's not going to work when the large portion of the police force is otherwise occupied with protests or rioting, or after the police department has been defunded.

Until they're deplatformed.

> I'm also sure I could get the "tracking pixel name-n-shame" feature they're so excited about if I took some time to write some in-depth filters.

Sure, _you_ could, but how many other potential customers can?

I'll admit, the lack of IMAP is a bit of an issue for me as well, but the other features may overcome it.

The millions of people who left their countries to come here.

> You’ve got to tempt unwitting users to visit your site, and to stay on it while they’re developing JS code

So, something like evil counterparts to HN, reddit, StackOverflow, or latestcatvideos.com.

Which gets interesting when advice changes.

> There's only 13M factory workers left in America vs 20M+ in the 70's,

How much of that is due to automation vs. factory jobs being done outside the US?

Maybe they'd get a better reaction if they said it would be used to enforce social distancing edicts.

Given up? Perhaps not. Greatly restricted? Definitely.

> If there are no slots at all, sure that's a problem

That's just it, this last 4 weeks when I've tried to order online, about 75% of the time I've seen no slots at all, from 3 or 4 different providers.

> Why shouldn’t the price increase with a supply chain disruption and demand boom? Oh, you mean "price gouging"?

I'm glad I splurged on an Oculus Quest last year; BoxVR for 20-30 minutes every weekday morning, with some Beat Saber if I'm feeling especially energetic.
