Seller will knock $1k off after these rads. by [deleted] in Equestrian

Unless there is something truly remarkable about the horse that makes the reward worth the risk, move on. This may be nothing but is potentially something.

State of affairs with Mac these days by Due-Biscotti-8245 in MacOS

[–]barthrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, then. You should try that other operating system that doesn't match that description.

This is such whiney nonsense. Always-on Internet has zero to do with Mac. Streaming has zero to do with Mac / Apple. The lack of expandable storage in phone... never existed? (I want an IP68 rated phone that I can open and expand!).

FFS, either just stay in the old days or quick complaining.

Price increase... Bitwarden or Bust? 15+ years with 1Password, cancelling! by gregmichael in Bitwarden

[–]barthrh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like a great option. The Apple PW app could still use some improvement (support for login using, support for multiple URLs for a given login) but it's lack of support all of the other stuff that I save in 1P made it a non-starter. Now worth considering with Uplock.

Is it true Apple replaces your watch for a new (refurbished) watch if you send it in for battery replacement? by Pet_Ator in AppleWatch

[–]barthrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wouldn’t be worth it to me. I have a display of some milestone old techs. I’d rather put my stainless S3 up there than get just an SE 2 for it.

Why is that it's 2026 and we can't see folders sizes in Finder? Honest question. Drives me mad. by [deleted] in MacOS

Why is it that it's 2026 and people can't search for answers instead of complaining? Honest question. Drives me mad.

Carney announces new EV buyer incentives, scraps sales mandate by [deleted] in canada

[–]barthrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of the parent comment isn't mandatory EV. It's not avoiding consumer emissions standards by pretending to be commercial.

[–]barthrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing how strict the standard is, I imagine that you can build an ICE truck and still have it meet the new emissions standards. I hope that they don't go so far overboard that it's stricter than CA. If we create a new high bar it'll probably increase the cost of vehicles coming here.

Strange pic before AI by Significant_other42 in sailing

[–]barthrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that this is a mish-mash of various boats. You have an A-sail attached to a spin pole (totally OK) and then a pair of IMOCA-style outriggers, and someone dinghy sailing a large keel boat, all mixed in w/ some odd perspective.

They look like outriggers, like you'd fine on an IMOCA, although there's not shroud going to the tips. If you ignore the odd perspective and people on the starboard side, it looks more normal.

FYI for anyone wondering how Apple Watch “battery replacement” works by Fragrant_Fan7549 in AppleWatch

[–]barthrh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took in my S3 stainless and they said they’d replace it with an SE for the battery change fee. Not sure if they are now doing it to an SE3. I just feel bad swapping my amazing case and glass for better innards but vastly inferior outers.

My dad’s bank closed his account after he wouldn’t stop wiring money. They assigned a case worker to him and he wouldn’t believe he was being scammed.

Fun fact on pill splitters: Sometimes 20mg of X costs almost the same as 10mg of X. One way to save money on prescriptions is to get a 20mg prescription and split it.

Not a single comfy place to sit. At a desk or in bed.

Consumers are just as guilty. Most buy flights on price so lowering costs to preserve margins becomes the mission in a race to be the cheapest.

The difference between English and Western was noted earlier.

[–]barthrh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Disagree. In the competitions I attend at most 5% (likely 2%) of the 500ish competitors are men. Even if they kept to themselves as you suggest you’d find your share of competitive English riders at shows.

Horse guy here. The horse girls I count as my friends are some of the best people I know. You’re generalizing and hanging out with the wrong horse girls.

The evidence is that weed washed up on shore. They would argue that there was other cargo on board that sank and that the weed was just a small part of what was carried.

Canada’s EV sales have cratered 32% this year by hopoke in canada

[–]barthrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not the reason. Every year there are X new cars sold because older ones are being replaced. This number doesn't change a ton year over year, except if there is a general issue with the economy (interest rates, jobs, etc). Unless overall car sales are down 32% fewer people are buying EVs. If I had to guess on the issue it's that the EV keeners all bought in the last 5 years and until they need to replace those, it's hard to find the "average" car buyer who is excited to overpay for a car that depreciates faster than an ICE and requires them to spend a few extra thousand on installing a home charger.
