I only meant the artful term is 'goodwill' and not 'good will'.

You mean some kind of perceived personal convenience through the uneven-handed profit of others and at the expense of everyone else.

Trying to check why your card was declined at a checkout—while still standing at said checkout? Troubleshooting "PIN issues" (meaning your bad)? Is everyone still standing behind you at this point? LOL. Exactly.

Lawyers (and bean counters) call it 'goodwill'. One word.

Reddit is a cesspool of mediocrity and groupthink. Hope that helps.

Larry Sanger once called me "butthurt" just before welcoming me to his e-mail "killfile". I forget the context completely, but to this day it stands as one of my proudest young Internet troll moments.

You're right, it's not ambiguous. It's literally incorrect.

Yeah, no.

> But what made this summer's episode unusual was its persistence.

But, but—it's not summer in the Nothern Hemisphere yet.

If it ain't broke!

More strange. Stranger. This is strange. Stranger? Who are you?

So subscribing to NYT somehow changed your stance on online privacy? Color me confused...

Ah, great! I 'took a shot in the dark' there. Glad it 'panned out'. ;)

'Bread *and butter'. The English expression requires the second part—but otherwise fits perfectly in your well-stated point, with which I wholeheartedly agree.

TFA discusses at-length how APNs and FCM are necessary intermediaries regardless, effectively creating a technical duopoly on 'push'. We all agree it would've been preferable for things not to have gotten this way, but here we are.

> You think there might be some sort of interaction between both facets there?

With the exception of one trying to extract currency from the other, in exchange for something of dubious value—no.

But, but—convection!

Anyone not already using KeePass (or KeePassXC) has been doing it wrong for at least a decade.

This thread contains a significantly higher concentration of dumb than the typical front page post. Gee, I wonder why.

You know 'space' is a vacuum, right?

> Does lifting weights count as vigorous though?

In my own experience, no. Strictly cardio. The number of squats you'd have to do to constitue even five minutes of vigorous activity is practicably impossible.

Lifting weights could certainly count/classify as moderate activity though, just without as much 'bang for your buck' as dedicated aerobic exercise.

Calling it 'the gym' sort of conflates its two distinct sections: the one containing cardio equipment, and the other containing strength training/bodybuilding equipment. So-called 'work capacity' aside, there's almost zero overlap between the two sections.

Whether someone's effectively strength training/bodybuilding or not, which is the section I think you refer to—nobody reasonably believes that does anything significant for cardiovascular health, which is the topic being dicussed here.

Consider the speed/vigor with which one does something, whatever it might be. It can be quite the range.

Can you elaborate on "basic competency issues", either in the case of Boudin's office and/or other high profile reformist prosecutors? Is that just a polite way of calling them dumb, à la what the kids are calling a 'skill issue' nowadays?

You identified as Swedish, and then shifted the goal post to the country where you (apparently) currently reside.

What's your point again? Something about all Americans whether they live in the US or not? Are you trying to be incoherent? Daft? Representative of all Swedes by origin?
