My employer insists that only Windows is acceptable, which makes my life in software engineering very difficult. No Mac, no Linux, only WIndows. I had to fight tooth and nail to get anything else and now they are still trying to get me to go back to using Windows because "we don't support" anything else.

Then same was true of forums and IRC

When IRC was entirely people on command line clients that existed on *nix. But that has changed with the ease of use of clients for Windows, and then eventually web clients.

If you are looking for hiking shoes with a zero drop, Altra makes them. Their trail runners and hiking shoes are all zero drop. They also have very wide toe boxes that accommodate wide forefoot. The Superior model are probably the lowest-price offering on that menu.

Altra also uses sex specific lasts (the forms that the shoes are built from) which are differently shaped for male and female feet, and waterproof as well as non-waterproof options, as opposed to many hiking boots which are only available in waterproof varieties.

Watching some woman lose her mind at Costco because the attendant refused to let her drive the wrong way through the pumps and made her go get in line properly while I was pumping my gas was so wonderful.

I've had difficulties with responding or commenting on posts on federated servers. Comments work just fine if I'm on this instance, but threads on others it just never posts.

And "condescending" is also available to describe this behavior.

Have we, the taxpayers, not already paid billions upon billions to these telcos to do exactly this already?

I don't hate gas stations, but I do hate people who don't know how to pull up to a fucking gas pump without completely cocking it up for everyone else!

Mine pays $9.00 per day. Employers are not required to pay for jury duty leave, only to allow you the leave without firing you.
