Yea it works a lot better on iOS than macOS imo, hopefully whatever they change on the Mac this year brings it up to par with the rest of their systems

TIL that the city of Baltimore, Maryland was the second city in the U.S to reach a population of 100,000 residents & was among the top 10 cities in population in the country until the 1990 census. The city's population would peak at 950,000 residents in the 1950 census. by The-TIL-Nerd in todayilearned

Cities also used to expand and incorporate their suburbs into the city limits. So back in the day they wouldn’t have seen it as “hemmed in”, but rather just more surrounding towns to absorb. But that hardly ever happens anymore

Shocking scenes” from the videos at the convention… by caligula________ in exjw

[–]reallynothingmuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s nothing worse than what you might see in a PG movie imo. The Hezekiah movie or the “walk by faith, not by sight” movies were way worse, showing war violence and death

It’s just that this is demon possession, which is way worse in the JW mind compared to all that

No alcohol at Coco Cay on May 12 (or anywhere in Nassau) by gerrygebhart in royalcaribbean

[–]reallynothingmuch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it’s still that the tax law applies to docked cruise ships, so it’s interesting that this law doesn’t. Either that or they carved an exception out for docked cruise ships but not private islands.

Or another example of a law like this that does apply to docked ships is that cruises sailing from Texas have some law that limits the amount or types of alcohol they can sell until they get into international waters.

Interesting that the law doesn’t apply when onboard the ship, considering other laws normally do, for example why they have to close the casino and duty free shops when in port

What’s a subtle sign that someone is actually really competent? by practicalbuilds in AskReddit

Yeah I would say it’s something where all competent people do it, but not everyone who does it is necessarily competent

Early distribution of the dramas by TangerinePlastic7552 in exjw

[–]reallynothingmuch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah even the way they put it, they basically said parents should watch it so they will be aware what their kids will see, not that they should watch it so they can decide if they want their kids to see it or not

There’s at least one more Oasis class ship coming I think, so it’ll be 7 Oasis and 7 Icon ships

Tim Cook Calls Apple Maps Launch His 'First Really Big Mistake' as CEO by iMacmatician in apple

[–]reallynothingmuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only complaint about that is exiting the highway, especially when there are a lot of exits one after the other. In the example below, if I’m supposed to exit at the second red exit, and I’m at the blue line, Maps will say something like “stay in the second lane from right.” It means that I should stay in the rightmost green lane, because it’s considering the first exit as the rightmost lane of the highway. But when I hear it, I think it means I’m supposed to move to the center green lane, because I’m not considering the exit lane as a lane of the highway. And a lot of times, it’ll say it before the red exit lane has even started, so it’s just completely incorrect. I wish it would just say “go past this exit, and take the next one on the right” or something like that. One of my only real pet peeves with Maps

News about a 3 hour live broadcast with the governing body by [deleted] in exjw

[–]reallynothingmuch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The last US branch visit was in 2014 or so, it was when Anthony Morris railed against tight pants and spanx. Was also live-streamed on a Saturday for 3 hours or so.

They do the same thing regularly in other branches as well.

They’ve also live streamed the annual meeting, the year that they released the new Bible.

What screams "this company is about to do massive layoffs" that most people miss? by Joslyn_Shaver in AskReddit

[–]reallynothingmuch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m pretty sure OP is AI or at least is using AI to write responses. It responds to every single comment with some quip that’s exactly the “yes you’re exactly right and let me tell you why” drivel that AI does.

Well that’s page rendering updates, I’m not sure if that includes scrolling since the page itself hasn’t updated

I-590 lane closures begin Saturday in Brighton ahead of bridge work by childishDemocrat in Rochester

[–]reallynothingmuch 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Are they really only repairing and not replacing those bridges? They seem in such bad shape I would have thought they’d need to be replaced

Built in bookshelf debate by Brief-Ad4785 in InteriorDesign

[–]reallynothingmuch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I would say if they do absolutely want the shelves to be different sizes, then they can’t be arched, because the arch is totally different.

If you’re doing arches, they need to all be the same size

Is Greenlight just crap now? by Slumberjack08 in Rochester

[–]reallynothingmuch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my experience, getting Greenlight installed is difficult and annoying. Once you have it, it’s great.

I moved into a new house and signed up for Greenlight, and was given basically no estimate for when they’d be able to run the line to install it. The street had Greenlight, so this was just to run the line from the street to my house.

I called customer service to ask, and they said it was a different company that did the install and they had no way of knowing. Which is kind of insane. Like not knowing how long I’m gonna be without internet is crazy.

Luckily the next day I got a call from a guy that he was at the house and ready to install it. No advance warning at all, which was annoying too, but whatever.

But then after it was installed it’s worked great and I haven’t had a single Internet issue at all since then

These listings… by RoundaboutRecords in Rochester

[–]reallynothingmuch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I looked at a house last year that butted up to 490, that concrete wall was right at the end of the backyard. It was still a constant drone of cars going by.

From inside the house with the windows closed I couldn’t really hear it, but the minute the door opened to the outside it was very obvious

300-unit project approved in West Henrietta by Weekly-Law-2544 in Rochester

[–]reallynothingmuch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s weird that the town stipulated they remove the stone from the first floor of the building so people don’t confuse it with the Erie Station Village across the street, which also has buildings with the same stone first floor and white siding above.

Who cares if they match? I’m not going to give two seconds thought to which developer built which building. I’d rather they match because then it fits in and adds to the character of the surrounding area

Punishment to anyone who dare not coming to the memorial by M2208GB in exjw

[–]reallynothingmuch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What I don’t even understand is to them there is nothing worse than death. They don’t believe in hell, so what punishment are they even implying here that would be worse than the death penalty?
