  • I was a poor kid living in Hawaii in the mid 90’s.

    Wendy’s in Hawaii had a salad bar. If you ordered the “dine in” salad bar, they gave you a fairly small plate and you were allowed one trip.

    If you ordered it to go, you still had the one trip restriction, but they would give you a big plastic clamshell to go container. They assumed you would put food in the bottom of the container and close it up and leave.

    Not me. I would order to go, but fill both halves of the container and eat it all at one of the tables. Usually one of the halves was mostly Chocolate pudding and cheezy crackers.



  • Bad parents are a thing. Children screaming loudly in an indoor environment should be corrected.

    I don’t think your opinion is unpopular. There are lots of people who will agree with you that libraries should be absolutely silent.

    But I don’t agree. There should be space for kids to learn to love books. They might noiser that you would like, but kids who love books are a benefit to our world.

    Libraries are a community meeting place, one of the last good third spaces left. If you want perfect silence go home.

    Libraries are not your unpaid office space.




  • I don’t think you are being fair. There are a ton of issues that people experience with Windows but everyone just accepts it because Windows is seen as “Normal”.

    Any issue you experience in Linux is magnified by it being a different issue than the ones you are used to in Windows and your unfamiliarity with Linux.

    One of the cool things about Linux is you actually have a hope of being able to fix issues yourself without waiting for a company to solve your problems.

    I don’t try to run Windows applications on Linux, but I imagine that could be frustrating. But that is a bit like being angry at your dog for not being a cat. You can buy your dog a cat costume but it’s still just a good boy trying his best to do what you want.
