Clean up on aisle 5
  • I (a customer) was in a deep chitchat with a bike mechanic about some other outdoor hobby in a big US outdoor gear chain. For like 30min :-) Then I chatted about learning foreign languages (!) with the casheer.

    I definitely found the experience memorable and have great association with the store's brand!!!!

  • Rental property billionaire says buying a home (with a mortgage) is "fancy bullshit" and you should rent instead
  • Afaik the mortgage market (setting mortgage payments, type of mortgage: fixed vs floating) is one of the more efficient markets. So choosing rent/own might not be such a big dilema.

    Current state (continuous rise of home prices) is, however, concerning. It used to be that USA's flexibility to move (and refi) was its great advantage (in labor market).

  • Superiority brings controversy
  • Well... my PopOS does not report new updates. I have to go to the "store"(Pop_shop) and install updates manually (which I do every few weeks).

    Installing "Operating System Updates" is not always a smooth operation: the window downloads 1 update and crashes (disappears).

    Probably the best is just to use command line (sudo apt) but thn i have to type the password which is annoying.

  • Why do you personally prefer using an Android phone?
  • The barrier to entry to create your own apps (as a programmer) is low - Install Android Studio (on ANY OS - I am using Mac atm), crank an example app or some app from Github, build, sideload, enjoy your own app! ofc need to know Java or Kotlin!!!
