But if you make another hole upstream, how do you allow that to heal? It’d be extra holes all the way down up.

Nothing I have done in my career has given me even close to the benefit I got from learning Haskell. I don’t get to use it professionally, but the patterns I learned to recognize in Haskell are everywhere.

Sorry for ranting towards you, and for any I’ll feelings I bestowed upon you.

Not at all! I’ve enjoyed the conversation!

I couldn’t find anywhere within an hour’s commute of me that sold what I needed at reasonable prices.

Aka good news for almost everyone.

Home Depot prices were 5x the online retailers for the cat6 cabling. (Not an exaggeration. They wanted over $100 for 250ft vs the ~$35 I paid online.)

Also, fuck Bernie Marcus, trumpist shithead. He doesn’t need my money.

This is also a fair point, but it only takes a handful of one-day deliveries to “cover” the cost of prime with what most places are charging for fast shipping. And then that’s not including the many products I’ve never found a decent alternative seller for.

I mean fine; you’re right. I could have sat on my thumbs for 5 days with no WiFi in my living room while I waited for someone else to send what I needed, but why should I have to? Is it completely impossible for a company to provide that convenience without also being a bag of dicks? (Or is that what you meant by regulation?)

For me it’s the fast shipping I can’t live without.

I recently moved into a new apartment and needed to run a network cord from our router to the other side of the apartment to put an access point so we’d have good WiFi coverage. I went online to several other retailers for the few things I needed (cat6, crimp tool, and a few other things), but all of them wanted me to pay ~$25 or more for their slowest shipping option of 5-7 business days.

Meanwhile, Amazon had everything at my door the next day with free shipping. I tried to avoid Bezos, but I couldn’t. :(

Sounds like you shouldn’t be listening to music either then.

I would like to know more about the “irreconcilability between Catholic doctrine and Freemasonry.” As someone who grew up Catholic, this makes me want to investigate joining the masons.

You lost me here. Civilians do not deserve this bullshit.
