I’d guess it depends on the chain. I know of one retailer where a store pickup would count as an in-store sale, which gave revenue to that particular store. This applied even if the in-store pickup required the item to be shipped to the store first

I use a Git repo for the files, and a simple Makefile to script the correct paths and optional install steps for them

That looks useful, thanks for sharing

This looks really nice, I’ll star it so I remember to download it later

I actually work in a company where anyone can work from home if they want. It’s just that many of us chose not to for various reasons.

So I’m sorry for having a preference different than yours, but if your management uses me as a single example to keep people in the office against their will, I think that’s s problem with the management, not with me.

That seems like a very depressing mindset to have. And don’t generalize your view onto everyone else like that. You say this as if I’m forcing everyone else at work to talk to me, which I am not. I am not even the one to initiate most conversations.

By talking to others, I’m feeding on their energy? I never said that I forcefully disturb others so they have to talk to me or something. I just enjoy the casual day-to-day chats with my coworkers.

But if calling strangers gross on the internet makes you feel good, I hope you have a lovely day.

I’m sorry for having an opinion different than yours. I am not even saying that WFH is bad or anything, just that I don’t prefer it.

4 days on-site. I like the mental separation by having a completely separate space for work, and I enjoy talking to my colleagues. I don’t see many people outside of work, so I need the social interaction. And the lunches at work are usually much healthier than something I’d cook up myself, so that’s also a plus.

I have tried to work from home a few days, but don’t really like it at all.

Can be, it’s fairly common. But they are then usually anthropomorphic, and sometimes with fur as well (mine doesn’t though)

I picked a dragon because I like dragons

I really love concept albums where the chorus of the first song makes a return in the finale. Makes it feel so conplete.

Examples, all power metal:

• Gloryhammer - Return to the kingdom of Fife
• Memories of Old - The Zeramin Game
• Marius Danielsen’s Legend of Valley Doom - (all three albums listened to together)

Yay HaxeFlixel

That was one of my main introductions to programming in general

It was used to power the Vive Wireless Adapter. I’ve also seen a Steelseries keyboard which used this cable type.

It’s not widely used, but it’s nice to be able to buy one

Or you could get a QR code reader that displays the URL before opening the browser.

Cat.

Travel agents are still widely used by small and medium sized businesses. It’s much faster to say “Get these two people to London for these days” in an email instead of manually looking for flight tickets and hotels.

But I haven’t heard of anyone using them for private trips in a long time.

I’ve used Mint since I started using Linux, and never had any major issues. I’ve therefore just stuck with it. I don’t always have the time to tinker with my machine if something should break, and Mint usually just works when I need it, while still providing flexibility when I want it (and Timeshift to fix it when I break stuff)
