What are some humorous items I could sneak onto my partner's running shopping list? in c/[email protected]

While not very humorous, some of the most useful permanent items on our shared shopping list include “That spice that ran out” and “That thing I was looking for the other day”. They’ve saved the day a few times over ten or so years.

Am I the only one that thinks we should have dedicated buttons for copy/paste on keyboards? in c/[email protected]

With 35 years of computer experience I can say that anything except Ctrl+Insert/Shift+Insert is worse.

By that I mean, we all need to adjust our brain to be fluent on which ever ecosystem we are currently logged on to, and become native users of key combos on all we use. I have used MacOS daily since 2004, and linux, Windows and DOS all longer than that. It takes practice, a lot of practice, but in the end I don’t even realize I sometimes use Ctrl+c, other times Cmd+c, and yet again Ctrl+Shift+c. It all comes naturally, by some miracle my brain knows which one to use. Granted, the DOS one I use so rarely these days I need a double take on the Ctrl+Insert. Last time was still around 6 hours ago today.

I guess what I’m saying is keep doing it, you’ll get there.

What would you buy if you could? in c/[email protected]

I would definitely go for a recursive island. It’s an island with a lake, that has an island.

Turns out there’s a ton of them in Finland.

There I would build my house: by a private lake, with a summer house on the private island on the private lake.
