Fyi it could be filters need changing. Right now if we turn on the aircon at work, I get terribly sore throat that would last for days. Turns out they change/clean the filters only once a year, and it's even worse in some other rooms where it also smells bad.

Right? No matter what I wear, I'll inevitably start freezing/being cold, especially my feet which I can't just put extra layers on. Add to that eyes watering intensely in the cold, windy weather, plus runny nose, so can't wear anything over it for any extended time, lest I bathe my face in snot. No, thank you. Give me summer and a fan.

Not a theist, so I'm not defending the potential existence of "my god".

Lack of evidence, however, doesn't always mean something doesn't exist or hasn't happened. If John killed Jake and destroyed or hid the evidence, and based on that wasn't found guilty, that doesn't mean that he didn't do it. It simply means no substantial evidence has been found to prove it (yet).

If you want to take your example further, it's quite possible to find out years or decades later that drug is in fact harmful, it just took time for the side-effects to show, or rather we simply didn't have the right technology to come to that conclusion earlier. (Though far less likely for this scenario to happen with modern science.)

Also, the existence of science or established set of natural laws, and absence of supernatural does not rule out existence of an uninvolved or uncaring creator.

Cries in having no sunlight in the apartment. Mine didn't survive the dark apartment life, so can't confirm.

Same between Austria and Slovenia and Slovenia and Croatia. Well, at least on one side. Going from Austria to Croatia, nobody will stop you, but going from Croatia to Austria, they stop you on each border. Austria took COVID as an excuse to reinstate it, and Slovenia I guess chose to be very worried about illegal immigrants.

One of my family cats is currently at the end of her life due to kidney disease. It really sucks, glad they're doing something about it. Now if only they could do the same for dogs.

It's funny to me how easy English has it. All you have to do is use "they", and if people think that's awkward, they should see how difficult it is to navigate it in a language with complex verb conjugations with gendered nouns and verbs. It's complicated to the point that non-binary people will still use their assigned-at-birth (if that's the term?) pronouns, to save everyone - including themselves - a headache. There's of course a movement to change the language, but it's difficult.

As a Linux main, I don't think it's hard, but it's also still not as good as Windows in some ways I find important. Fractional scaling for instance. I had a different resolutions multimonitor setup, and I definitely had more issues than on Windows. Also, now with two same reso monitors, I still have to switch to Windows to RDP into my work Win machine, because on Linux it's so blurry due to difference in scaling, it hurts my eyes. Of course, I'm most likely in minority of a minority, but it's still a thing.

In my case, the only reason they'd fire people is if they refused to work overtime, hah.

I did that when I worked customer support. The only way I could retain the little bit of sanity I had left. But to be honest, we were so understaffed that even if I slipped, they wouldn't have fired me. There was one guy who was so angry with a customer that he wrote their number down, and then over his break called the customer with his private phone to argue with them. Still didn't get fired, lol.

Same here, but I still use 3rd party mobile app, because both the site (unless you use old.reddit) and the official mobile app are garbage.

Out-of-the-box it's set to Wake Bixby, but it can be changed to Power off menu. One of the first things I changed when I got my phone.
