    Check his posting history. Whenever anything comes up about drivers being forced to work as contractors he can't grok that there's a bigger picture beyond him getting a cheap ride home from the bar.

    This is why peanuts warns that it contains nuts

    Except peanuts aren't nuts. From a scientific POV the archaic term "goober peas" is more accurate.

    Lots of things have warnings that they may contain nuts. This is due to potential cross-contamination during processing.

    Are you sure they all look the same? Quite often different chains operate in different countries (they might actually be part of the same group, but the branding will be different).

    Then there's the Ardennes[1]. The Rockies they ain't, but if you're from Belgium they're definitely a change of scenery that you might, if you're alert, notice.

    [1] I'm assuming she sort of went in a straight line, which may well be wrong.

    PulseAudio is similar. Either works like a charm or it's a POS that randomly stops and won't work till you reboot.

    Now that's an annoyance, for sure. But if that was to do with the system actually starting it'd be a major hindrance.

    In case anyone doesn't know, it's another of Lennart's creations.

    Graphic designers design posters, magazines and LP covers. They don't design user interfaces.

    Or rather they didn't when I was a lad, and they still shouldn't.

    Make your mind up. At first you were talking about paper mockups.

    As for A/B testing, it's going to be A=15% grey on an 85% grey background and B=15% grey with a bit of a green tinge on an 85% grey background. It's too expensive to compare much more than trivial cosmetic differences.

    You're making it up as you go along.
