I remember programming the VCR when VHS was first a thing and I'm definitely not nostalgic for it. It was the best most people could afford at the time but it certainly wasn't good.

When did people get nostalgic for the crappy analogue definition that was VHS? What's next betamax special editions?

I do pretty much everything in Firefox but during the week I keep a Chrome window up for Hangouts and Jira.

Church of England? They are pretty vanilla and low key in my experience.

I don't quite follow what this is. Is it a from scratch implementation of the vscode experience or a fork which has removed propriety bits and telemetry?

Lemmy really needs to support post combining somehow so you can see the story once (and maybe even combine the threads in the UI?).

I think it's often used with younger kids because parents don't understand why their kids are acting up and can't work out how to "get through" to them. As kids get older they become a lot better at understanding and really words should be the only tool you need.

The dreaded phrase "I'm not angry just disappointed" should cut deep when (rarely) used because the kids understand their parents have their interests at heart. If they don't then something has gone wrong building that relationship of trust and respect.

ETA: forgot to say of course positive reinforcement is also key. Kids need to know when they get things right so they are not walking on eggshells worried about getting things wrong.

Ok I fail to see how battering kids helps them develop a bond of trust with the carers.

I'm not sure how assaulting children is ever going to build an effective relationship between kids and their parents. Parents should represent safety and unconditional love because then the educational message will have an easier time being accepted by the kids.

As I understand it is to operate the defensive missile battery they have just shipped.

They are pretty focused on reducing the cost of launches by aggressively re-using components that would normally crash into the sea. Previous launches landed on floating sea platforms but yesterday's heavy was so big it needed a more stable landing zone. So after boosting the Star Liner the rocket returned down the trajectory it had followed up and then hovered briefly before being caught by two pincers on the very launch pad it had left five minutes before. That's pretty cool.

Is it worth raising an issue with the project? Also enable logging to see if there are any clues as to why a rescan is being done?
