    Or one could fix bugs and security issues whilst not introducing/removing/changing major features and breaking compatibility. You know, like what we had before with fractional version numbers.

    Interesting to watch this exact same conversation occur, just with UK swapped in for US. We're "fighting" the same battle over here.

    It is, and I do eat. The problem is that I need to take time out of that already-tiny-amount to go get ingredients, and then do things to them so they are palatable.

    Or I could just toss money at someone and just eat it. I'd be happy to do that and not get shitty food, but it seems nobody wants to fill that niche.

    Those are not side effects, they are contraindications. Big difference.

    I'd expect dropping the subsidy will do nothing beyond pushing them to find an even cheaper source of sugar.

    You must not sleep much.

    Up at 7:15-7:30, out by 8. Home by 7, maybe 8. Gotta be in bed by 11 if I want to get enough sleep.

    That leaves me at most 4 hours of free time to do everything else I need or want to do. Spending 1/4 of that cooking something for dinner and lunch is not acceptable.

    Sure, it sucks for the kids, but let's not pretend that the measles are fatal with the exception of a tiny fraction of cases.

    Huh? Quoth wikipedia:

    Between the years 1987 and 2000, the case fatality rate across the United States was 3 measles-attributable deaths per 1000 cases, or 0.3%. In underdeveloped nations with high rates of malnutrition and poor healthcare, fatality rates have been as high as 28%. In immunocompromised patients (e.g. people with AIDS) the fatality rate is approximately 30%.

    But it's usage on computers has, for the 20 or so years before VOIP was common, been text-only. Witness items such as IRC, ICQ, AIM, etc.

    Anyway I did not realize WebRTC was not actually one of these kinds of things, pavon incorrectly described "real-time audio and video" as "web chat."

    My favorite are sites that load a form or image in a "window" that tries to anchor to the center of the screen. Can't read it 'cause it's 1-inch wide? Zoom in... oh wait, NOPE! It moves itself to the right side expanding the page, and you get to play "chase the AJAX" - the only way to win is not to play.
