I tried both Gboard and SwiftKey and ran right back to Swype. While it’s been discontinued and will no longer receive updates, until Google actively does something to make it break, it still works just fine and installs right away on every new device. Frankly, I appreciate that it will never receive all the cruft…

You have perfectly described my experience - started at Swype, moved to SwiftKey, then Gboard for simplicity/learning, and even getting the n-word as a suggestion a few times (though I never contacted Google about it).

I know this is a foreign concept for Apple users but it is called choice. I’m just teasing you but that all it is - 3rd party apps are a good thing because they offer a choice. It can be small things that you might not care about like customizable themes. It can be how it handles certain features differently. Often…

Gboard always guesses the wrong word for of/if and on/in. ALWAYS. Doesn’t matter what I do...

And it pretty frequently just won’t accept swyping input for 2-3 words before it remembers that’s the only reason I use it. Probably time to switch.

I do my best to avoid giving my money to people that are publicly known to be assholes.

Kudos to your boss. In trying times, leaders lead.

I’m upper management at a company deemed essential. We manage fed/state/mun. fleets all over the country. The owner and I traditionally never get along and some would consider him a selfish dick. He’s generous in some ways but he’s hard on staff and generally cheap. He sent me home a week before all of the state…

History will not be kind to the people in power that downplayed COVID-19. The owner of my company is doing the same thing. He has played the “we’re essential” card, keeping the office open. Everyone in the office isn’t set up to work remotely, they all have desktop computers and desk phones. There are older folks with…

While I do agree that Musk shouldn’t be tweeting about things he clearly does not understand, this article is also putting more eyeballs on his batshit tweets. Moral of the story is that you shouldn’t be getting any information from anything other than a highly vetted source(like a medical journal, where peers in that…

Wait, I need to write this down. “People are overthinking ‘Star Wars.’”

No shit. There’s no question on this. It was all Ben.

It was very clearly Ben’s memory and imagination. People are overthinking this.

We jumped from trees as a kid I know I never dipped my nads into stuff or put metal in outlets you know why we had parents that cared natural selection will take care of these lesser developed or maybe parents will go back to parenting  you wont ever see my son doing this stupid shit

I think we’re far closer to solving nuclear fusion than convincing Karens to use the correct lane. 

BITCH BITCH BITCH

A third of the ‘air’ supply in, a third for getting out, a third just in case... cave & wreck diving rule that can be ‘applied’ across many pursuits... 

Maybe in some parts of the world, but I don’t think that’s universally true. I’d put that at .05% or lower if I had to pick a number. And remember Cave Diving != Cavern Diving. Only 30% of divers progress past OW, and only 10% go beyond AOW. Source: PADI.

When those kids were trapped in that cave in Thailand I got the impression cave divers with a lot of experience were rare. They basically got like 5 people in a whole country almost all of them foreign to help and none of the military divers (who likely had years of diving experience) seemed to have any experience…

Even under your qualifications (regular divers) I’d say it is less than that. Regular divers are already a significantly smaller of actual certified folks, with most just going diving on vacation or never going again. I’d put tech divers at around 10%, and while many may be cave certified, even less actually cave dive…
