From a consumer perspective, ideally it’d be clothing retailer adjacent: find outfit online, you become the model.

However, not sure if desirable for the industry as many people might buy and not return items online with the aspiration they’ll eventually look good in them — compared to clothes the physically try on?

Just my gut reaction.

Related story, In the US, so YMMV:

I tend to try to pay in advance when I order so I don’t have to wait 5-10 minutes to get a bill, then have them run off as I grab my payment method of choice, to wait another 5-10 minutes to actually pay.

I was a little confused how my requests to pay early seemed to slightly irritate waitstaff. So I asked some restraint owner friends of mine and they mentioned how, depending on the POS configuration, the act of requesting or paying the check (forgot which one) automatically queues up your table availability to the next guest.

So I guess, convenience workflow feature for the restaurant host impacts creates an annoyingly rigid behavioral pattern that unexpectedly passes “waiting frustration” on to diners.

Clever idea. I like it.

Maybe visualization of the brackets could be improved a bit.

The overriding problem for me was the nonstandard keyboard. Would love to be able to use my device keyboard

Laws should have built-in expiration dates so they would be forced to be renewed/refactored every period to expand robustness or trim cruft.

Is there any kind of usb device that you can put between your usb port and a usb stick that would limit the device to charging or just reading the usb device (but not writing to the computer)?

Or was the digital condom idea just for sh*ts and giggles?

(For charging only I guess being struck about using a usb charger and not a device would be safer? In multi-port chargers can devices use the multiport as a hub to connect to other devices that are charging?)

Based on my own genealogical research, you can’t expect exact fidelity over time once you go back 120 years or so.

From my Irish side we haves back and forth over recorded name, baptism records, common names, nicknames and what all.

Not to mention just poor handwriting. Forebears that maybe couldn’t write, local variations of names, etc.

Walsh/Walch/Welch/Welsh

Mary Ann could be:

Maria Mariah Anne Marianne Annie Anna depending on the time, relation and who said it to the census guy
