Ah, there you are. Where did you go? On a fucking vacation? We need to see your pointless crap at the start of each thread otherwise it doesn't feel like Slashdot anymore.
Just like cable-cutting seemed alien a decade or two ago, I do not have a phone number. I do everything by email and instant messaging (not SMS but iMessage, etc).
Every fucking place that requires a phone number is eliminating ahead-of-the-curve users.
It's not the only benefit though. On Netflix, I decide when the show start, I decide to pause to go to the bathroom or get a snack, I decide to stop to continue later. No DVR or planning needed: the show is either on Netflix, or it's not.
XBO = marketing and the fact that Sony uses three letters for their console names. Remember "PS" for Playstation? Xbox One is "XO", I don't care what the marketing department of Microsoft calls it. You always only use the first letter of each word in an acronym.
There's non-military sailors too, you know. I call anyone enlisted to wage war a soldier. It doesn't matter if he fights underwater, on the water, on the ground, in the air or in space.
Remove musicians and artists from your list and it's basic requirements for the modern world. Kids would be better off learning how to use a word processor properly than programming. Example: there's millions of people out there who don't even know how to format their content properly. Making your text bold in font size 20 does not make it a level-1 heading.
Stop wasting everyone's time trying to teach them how to program.
They only need to understand the very basic functionality of processors: what memory is, RAM vs storage, how a processor can do maths on the memory and how it can take decisions based on values. That's it. Those who really are interested will learn on their own, choose computer classes on their own, etc.
Stop forcing everyone to be a programmer and teach them just enough so they stop thinking computers are incomprehensible magical boxes, and stop them from clicking "accept" on every damn prompt the computer asks them.
Beware the IKEA weapons. They even come with ("english") instructions:
Thank you purchase Sweden flat-pack bomb. Please assembly in timely maner follow instructiones step 1 to 40 and pressing button "detonate". Thanks you.
Allen's 13-person expedition team [...] will conduct a live tour of the wreckage in the next few weeks. They are complying with U.S. law and respecting the sunken ship as a war grave, taking care not to disturb the site.
How do you do a live tour of the wreckage without disturbing it?
Well, maybe you feel like someone else should be spying on you for a change.
This brings an interesting question though: would you rather have one search engine know almost everything about you or would you rather have multiple search engines know a lot but nowhere near everything about you?

Anyway, welcome back.
Is there any law to take companies that pull this kind of stunt to court and sue the pants of them?
There's also "penis" but it doesn't work.

And 5 U.S. dollars will magically turn into 10 Canadian dollars, plus taxes.
Can you push Dogecoin to $100?
Thanks in advance.
No, it spells XOX when you shorten it. Unless you spell Xbox as X-Box...?
And there's three X's in "Xbox One X".
Oh yeah! 4K 3D hentai porn! Dead or Alive Xtreme Tentacles!
That's one more channel than I could get with an antenna.

I've done basic research in the 1980's. I had to learn how do to a "FOR" loop, so I researched it.
Stick to your principals? What?

To my knowledge, apart from textures there's none of those things in Sketchup. If other features are present, then they're automated.

Take photos?! They're going to steal the souls of those poor soldiers!
