Yes, they asked for a reminder, not a conversation. Parents have to choose their battles. Demanding non-standard behaviour in order to do a required parenting thing like helping your child remember stuff is a really stupid hill to die on!

Texts are less important than email, and less urgent than a phone call. It's ridiculous to think it's rude not to reply, especially for kids who probably get 5-10 texts an hour.

If something's important enough to you that you want a definite response eventually, send an email. If it requires immediate communication, call. Don't apply false rules of politeness just to get a response out of your kid!

I'll support Senators not having a dress code when there isn't one for anyone else working in Congress...

See the other answers for why this isn't really right, but given 4 dimensional spacetime, if that 'pixel' did exist, it would look like a hypercube/tessaract. A constantly stretching and twisting but approximate one, anyway.

Imagine how amazing the PR would have been if the title had been: "User gets spectator seating for a SpaceX launch in return for lost handle"

I can often dig into the source and quickly figure out what's broken.

And for the 99.9% of humanity for whom that is either impossible, or a dreadful slog,

On Windows, I'm usually shit outta luck. Gotta trawl through tons of messy forums and bullshit SEO-optimised blogspam sites

This reminds me of one of those documentaries where they show some ridiculous mechanical contraption in a scene, and the narrator says, "Before the technology became extinct, it had become vastly more complex and sophisticated, but alas, it's days were numbered..."

I mean, didn't they fuck everyone?

But my ex was really crazy. You gotta hear this!

This is the situation I'm in. Half-a-dozen clients in the energy and automotive industries, each with multiple security regimes and short timeouts. Passwords mutate with time and I stay sane...

I don't like to keep any security stuff in "the cloud", written down anywhere, or even on my own devices. It's too easy to lose everything after one security breach.

Instead, I use password algorithms seeded from both the service name/identifier and one or more private passwords. This lets me keep thousands of service/site unique passwords in my head just by memorizing twenty or so words.
