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…

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

BITCH BITCH BITCH

If we properly educated American drivers about lane etiquette and, well, driving, there’s no reason our interstate highways couldn’t be a fast as the German Autobahn. They’re designed for aircraft landings and troop transport, after all.

Like FK would have a vehicle registered in her own name. Obviously it’s owned by a shell company that’s operated out of a dummy office in a foreign company and registered to an empty apartment elsewhere.

Those aren’t my plates.

Kristen, your baby looks great for a 17 year old car!

Jesus thats dangerous and so wrong. I can not imagine an actual credit training saying that. That just starts the cycle over and makes it worse. The easiest thing to do is just get one credit card, put your normal expenses during the month (groceries, utilities, gas, etc) on it and pay it off every month. Build your…

Just about everyone keeps that info these days

If it makes you feel better, my philosophy is that you should always buy new if you can afford it. You’ll have the car longer*, and you won’t have to wonder if the previous owner ever changed the oil in those 30,000 miles.

Depending on the state, you may pay sales tax on used cars as well, bringing in an unavoidable transaction cost to buying a car.
