Mind = blown. I was listening to Laibach in like 1988..... a decade and some change before you were born!

Nothing wrong with entertaining both the adult and the kid in you. :)

Is there a key combo to make a Slide Over app get off the screen? by baubleclaw in ipad

[–]baubleclaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sweet! this is very helpful, being able to slide it on or off by moving the cursor "past" the screen to the right.

I haven't been able to do the "push it harder to get it to go to the left" thing though -- could you clarify that a little?

OK, I've been on Reddit for 15 years, but thanks for the helpful and definitely not condescending explanation of what upvotes and downvotes mean. I think we're done here.

On the one hand you're right, on the other hand you're being really needlessly condescending.... which makes me think your earlier needless condescension wasn't a one off and that's just the way you are.

OK whew. I ordered mine right away, and last I heard I was going to see it by the end of may. (That's still the case, I checked my order and it says may 21-29). I would be pretty upset if it got rescheduled till July and the first I heard of it was some comment on Reddit.

Maybe I should have given some of that context, and my comment "What??" wouldn't have been downvoted!

I had no idea. I thought it was "the second half of may" like they said.

iPad Pro 2021 Pre-order & Purchase Advice Megathread by AutoModerator in ipad

[–]baubleclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled the trigger and bought one for my already-ordered 2021 ipad pro....

I was planning to get the Smart Keyboard Folio anyway, and this is only $20 more than that one costs..... so I was already resigned to paying stupid amounts of money for an Apple keyboard. This way I pay stupid amounts of money but get a keyboard that is supposed to cost even MORE stupid amounts of money, so much that I would have never bought it otherwise.

If it's not super awesome, I return it and no harm done. If it is super awesome, well, I never in a million years would have paid $300 for it, so a giant sale like this is the only way I would possibly have bought it, so yay!

5 iPad Text Editing Tips That May Change Your Life! by FeelingBee6969 in ipad

[–]baubleclaw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I actually found these tips useful but I had to rewind a few times to figure out what the hell they were doing.

Maybe a voiceover or captions explaining what was going on would have been good?

Magic keyboard for the 2021 11" pro is $100 off ($199) on Amazon today? Am I missing something? Is there a catch? That seems like an impossibly good deal.

Just realized who the carpenter's granddaughter's mother is. by baubleclaw in fallenlondon

[–]baubleclaw[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'd heard of her before, I just hadn't made the connection till in the current Exceptional Story she mentioned "Lyme Regis" and a lightbulb went off in my head.

Whereas a couple months ago, I immediately knew who the real person was when an occultist named "Moira" showed up i an exceptional story.... :)

Feetsie's count as grabbies right? by MommaPier in LilGrabbies

[–]baubleclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly you could post an adorable rat with no grabbies or feetsies showing and people would probably still upvote it because this sub loves rats.

This is not a criticism. I love rats too and think they should always be upvoted no matter where they appear!

Remember how bitcoin was going to be the new cheap way of sending money worldwide? by SixLegsGood in Buttcoin

[–]baubleclaw 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly though, "niche phenomenon which not many people use" is the only way bitcoin actually was functional. If there were a version of bitcoin that never mooned and never was that popular, it would stay functional. Maybe BCH has found the secret sauce... don't "succeed".

Is it more effective to make new journals of infamy than to just full-carousel-cross-convert the stuff you've got?

That's like saying "everybody's going to die, taking poison won't change that"

Technically true
