I don't understand the question.

The New Coke fiasco begs to differ.

The cynic in me imagines that they switch away from real chocolate, everyone will hate it, they'll release a new product line that proclaims it uses real chocolate, but charge a premium for it, and people will buy it.

Has it occurred to you that all the searching in the world can't help you find a website that isn't indexed?

Obscure errors especially may not exist for you to find, and depending on how small and obscure the music is you're looking for, it may not exist or be properly indexed.

Search engines aren't magic.

Maybe? How niche are we talking? Are you saying the websites you need to find exist but you can't find them via a search engine?

I honestly thought people didn't have issues finding things via a search engine anymore. TIL people still struggle with it.

Is it really a miscalculation if a calculation was never done?

I can say with some certainty that the amount of junk mail I get is not significantly lower than in the past, but that's not addressed to me, usually, it's almost always "current resident".

I doubt DMVs are going to move away from accepting mail, but they probably already have an option for your situation, like printing out something from a utility that equates to a bill with your name and address on it.

For proof or residence, it's usually bill for a utility with your name and address on it. That is to say, you can't show up with a birthday card sent to your address because anyone can send a birthday card with your name on it to any address, but the cable company, electric company, etc isn't going to send a bill to your address with your name on it unless you're on the hook paying that bill.

Is it outdated? Maybe a little. I think paper bills are still pretty normal, even if they're paid online, but increasingly less so.

If your machine supports "fast boot", you'll need to turn it off.

"East Coast" doesn't provide enough information. If you look at a map of America and draw a straight line south from the western end of Massachusetts, it doesn't really touch another state at all, just the ocean. What really needs to happen is that the Northeast needs to be in a different time zone, and then we stick to standard time. But as it is now, it really sucks being in EST in the winter in the northeast, which is why so many of us prefer permanent DST, when given the choice without the option of being in a different time zone.

I dunno, that sounds pretty moderate to me.

 

When viewing a specific comment, there is a link to "show context" that would show the comment one level up. Now, this link does not appear to do anything.

I assume this was introduced by the latest update.

The Supreme Court has blocked President Biden's plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for more than 40 million Americans. The court's conservative justices expressed skepticism about Biden's authority to forgive student loan debt without direct authorization from Congress.

 

The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that a web designer can refuse to create websites for same-sex weddings on religious grounds. The case involved a Colorado web designer named Lorie Smith, who refused to create a website for a same-sex couple's wedding. The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, alleging that Smith's refusal violated their civil rights.
