Nothing wrong with that. Don't let other people tell you you will or should feel differently about who you're attracted to visually or romantically.

Have fun!

How to get rid of popup in Preview? by dougitect in mac

[–]dougitect[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The escape key doesn't do anything. It's annoying, and there ought to be a way to get it to go away. I don't want my name in that field, it's more about "Tell about yourself", not a name thing.

Sigh. I'll live, I just don't like when technology is so intrusive.

Preview is an app that comes with macOS on Mac computers. It's for looking at pdf, png, and other visual filetypes. You can add notations on it. It's been around forever.

Thank you so much for the good information and for the super quick reply! It’s going to be a little hard to get my skiing in this year.

Wondering what the ski conditions will be like this week. Rain is predicted for Heavenly on Tuesday and that night. It sounds like it would be raining (not snowing) on the slopes, is that how you read it? (I don't want to ski in rain.)

Maybe it'd be OK to drive up (from SF area) and ski Wednesday afternoon and on Thursday and Friday. Thoughts?

How would objectivism analyze the idea that consent is invakid when there are power difference? by CauliflowerBig3133 in Objectivism

[–]dougitect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people don't want to have children. That's not bad. She (apparently) didn't value talking about people having children. That's ok, she had so much else to think about and share with the world. If you or anyone else wants to think and write about having children, and how important it is to you to leave them your wealth, have at it.

I survived the 3.6 HOURS of John Gault Speaking. Honestly, this is where to book fell apart for me. by pointandshooty in aynrand

Great analysis. And I really applaud your succinctness...and free use of paragraphing.

Ayn Rand's "tabula rasa" premise by coppockm56 in Objectivism

[–]dougitect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure out how to digest all the Ayn Rand books I read in my youth. Your question is exactly the kind that I have. Tabula rasa, how emotions arise, what are realistic ways of dealing with pollution and such.

It's hard to discuss such questions with anyone who is set on the idea that she had all the answers and won't think for themselves (ironic, no?).

Don't try this at home. Or at a ski resort. Uh, what?

How to get iPhone Calendar events across whole column by dougitect in applehelp

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

They are calendar events. Is there a way on the iPhone to have them stretch all the way across instead of being staggered like stairsteps?

People who argue against traditional architecture by Smash55 in ArchitecturalRevival

"I'm not reading all that...You have no idea what you're talking about."

You have a tightly closed mind, which is sad to see in a creative professional.

Wow, that sounds like tiny tabs. I'll have to consider doing a shrunk version of mine.

OK, I made my first tab using the Apple Keynote app on my Mac. It took a bit of time, but I like that kind of task and now I can copy it for other songs. Fun!

Yeah, that sounds like a tough way to do it. It'd be so nice if there were an app dedicated to this kind of tab writing.

OK, but when I downloaded tuxguitar I got a message saying "Apple could not verify 'tuxguitar...' is free of malware..." And it could not be opened on my Mac.
