  • Does this POS really not understand still that US consumers pay the tariffs? Why the fuck would we pay extra for Canadian products and he thinks that it’s charging Canada? So sick of this moron. I’d really like to know who told him about tariffs in the first place because they really shouldn’t have. He thinks “ugh grumba mugga wunna punish country” and somehow that a tariff does that. What would it do - reduce Canadian exports? So what? Also note his instinct is to fine and punish Canada, not offer help. What a shitbag.


  • What I find offensive and startling is when platforms accuse you of “encouraging violence” when you didn’t. That even happened to me on Twitter (pre musk!) regarding Trump, and their system is you have to basically admit you did it and delete the comment to use your account again. So I was like wtf, in order to proceed, I have to basically admit I made a threat against the president? When I DIDN’T? All I said was I thought he’d be too old and unhealthy to run in 2020. More recently I said Elron Musk hates poor people and basically wants them to die, and Reddit said the same thing, that was “wishing harm or violence” on someone. I hate this AI moderation bullshit. It was a 3 day ban but I deleted my account and haven’t been back.





  • Sure, I lost 28 lbs in one month when I was first developing type 1 diabetes.

    Other than that, you might want to do calorie calculations. Exercise is great, but it takes a surprising amount of work to counter a given amount of calories. I’ve been tracking my walking with an app that estimates calories, and 4-5 miles is just getting started. I’ve been walking 6-10 miles a day. The app and online sources say 5 miles burns ~500 calories, which is 2-3 beers depending on the type. So exercise like that might be able to stave off weight gain, but it’s unlikely to result in weight reduction. You’d likely want to analyze your diet and cut out any calories over what is medically necessary. Burning more than what you take in results in weight loss. Just be sure you’re covering the basic macros, especially protein, and getting enough electrolytes and vitamins.









  • The scroll thing is annoying. I like the “natural” scroll on a touchpad but not a mouse also.

    The multi desktop is the same as on Windows and Linux… I don’t use it on any system. I like how MacOS handles fullscreen apps better than either of those.

    You can disable the startup sound very easily: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102230

    I have only used mirroring to external monitor and not extending a desktop, so I don’t know. As far as maximization I personally hate windows expanding when I move them to the top of the screen. It’s rarely what I want so I turn it off. If I want to maximize it, I hit the green button.

    You uninstall Apps by dragging their folder from the Applications folder to the trash can.

    Closing the window and leaving the application running is how MacOS has worked forever for some Steve Jobs reason. I am used to hitting Cmd-Q.

    The folder stuff can be weird. The way the Desktop icons work is one of the worst aspects, thigh they kind of fixed that (using expanding smart folders or whatever used to be chaos if they had a lot of items in them).

    You can check the usage of a Volume from right clicking it in Finder and choosing Get Info. Or just df -h
