What am I going to do, put the $20 back in my pocket? No, that’s a dick move. I see that they’re acting like they’re in a rush. Pocketing the paper money will only slow down the transaction.
It’s a lose-lose scenario, just like the grandparent commenter suggests.
How do I know the total until I’m given it?
The store knows which items are taxed and which ones aren’t.
I get you, but cashiers are trained to be impatient and never wait for me to pull my change purse out to round it up, even if I tell them there’s more coming.
This is how it typically goes:
Cashier: Your total is $10.50. Me, handing them $20: Here, hang on to this, I’ve got some change. Cashier snatches the money, enters $20.00 in the machine and stuffs it in the drawer as I fish out the appropriate change. Me, as they are in the midst of gathering a large amount of change from the drawer: Here you go. Cashier, interrupted during their change counting, furrows their brows at me as if I just tried to pull a fast one on them.
It can’t be a quick change scheme if you haven’t given me my change yet. Just don’t be in such a rush.
It more closely follows the UNIX philosophy–Do one thing, and do it well.
By asking the developers to split their focus, we would be admitting that a less secure and/or less reliable product is acceptable.
Am I old if I read BTRFS as butterface?
Pro-Tip: Until they recently dropped the misleading product, “Unscented” Dove soap had perfume in it. Sensitive Skin Dove soap does not.
Some background for the unfamiliar:
“OP” is the abbreviation for “Ordo Prædicatorum”, or “Order of Preachers” in English, aka the Dominicans.
Saint Dominic is the founder of their order.
Hah
Ditto, but only because it seems more reliable than the windows client. I didn’t bother submitting a bug report because I can’t properly articulate the issue.
Awesome. On a similar note, there is a time of the day at a certain part of the year when our TV seems to receive random remote control button pushes. I know it’s solar infrared but hadn’t considered it may be a reflection instead of direct radiation.
I’m having difficulty understanding your post but you’re on the right track with Active PFC causing issues with UPSs.
Ditto for the Y6239 problem for what must be a dozen of pieces of software that use the hebrew calendar, when it switches to five digit years.
What I’m reading here is that there’s a correlation between incomes which can afford bottled water and higher IQs which could be a result of any number of systemic factors.

Horrified Subway Execs Assumed People Were Buying Footlongs To Share With A Friend
Nice try, sentient escherichia coli.
Jokes aside, as you work in I.T., you’d know that most people completely ignore labour costs when it comes to these things.
I run my own email server using mailcow-dockerized. Ironically, the problem is not enough volume.
I can’t put my finger on the specific film, but there are those where the happy ending seems especially contrived, and the director’s commentary lamented that’s because anything less than a happy ending tended to test poorly with viewers. It might have something to do with the fact that they tested them tight after they watch the film rather than letting it sink in for a bit.
Test screenings are the J.D. Power Initial Quality Award of the film industry.
I feel your pain. It seems these apps have been built by monolinguists, and the language preference/requirement you mentioned are more of an afterthought than, for example, quality/resolution preferences.
For subtitles, at least, a bilingual family needs to have two separate instances of bazaar.
Of course, that’s less than ideal when you start talking about two entire video files when all you want is an additional audio stream.
I’ll be checking back here hoping you’ll find a solution.
This is a fun opportunity to share that mainline church teachings consider each tiny drop or fragment of the precious blood and sacred host to contain Christ entirely. It’s not exactly blood here, guts there.
