Is an ESRI web app on mobile clunky? Yeah, probably. But I promise you, someone in their 70s googling it on their iPad wonโ€™t care. Or an 18 year old on their iPhone looking for their first polling location. They donโ€™t want to learn to use those things, they just want an answer of whatโ€™s closest.

His solution to the poor mobile experience was that they should offer โ€œkml or csvโ€

A) their web app likely does offer those
B) brother, those arenโ€™t mobile solutions. If you can download and import a csv, or know what a kml is, you arenโ€™t that web apps target audience anyways.

They kept referring to layers and analysis and polygons, so obviously they had likeโ€ฆa single GIS course once. But they also got dunked on by almost every GIS person in the city. Itโ€™s like looking at the tip of the iceberg that sank the Titanic and thinking thatโ€™s what did it in.

Someone in the city subreddit asked why they are wasting money on ArcGIS just to host voting maps. โ€œItโ€™s way overkill!โ€

The irony being that rich people will be the ones who can afford to pay for quality, human provided services rather than being stuck with no options but AI Slop. Itโ€™s great to maximize the bottom line, but they would never personally trust it.

Also plz note, I did not pay full price for the Barbour. Ya girl likes fancy things, but loves a sale.

I will tell him that Fluevogs are on sale, and heโ€™ll comment that I have too many shoes while picking out his own pair to order. Thereโ€™s a little too much โ€œTreat yoโ€™selfโ€ in our relationship, and not enough โ€œNoโ€

A womanโ€™s torso, wearing a similar navy chore jacket. In the background, you can see a sidewalk and fallen leaves. The woman is wearing an Apple Watch and has her left hand in the warming pocket.

Pros of having a fashion conscious fiancรฉ: looks good, understands buying good quality items
Cons: enabler.

I wanted this style of jacket, but the armpits looked off, so instead I got the Barbour equivalent that costs almost 5x as much. At least the fit is better, and I feel fancy.

Super Bowl artist discourse is just people yelling loudly about how they donโ€™t want to believe they are the ones who are out of touch. Shhh, you arenโ€™t the target audience, itโ€™s okay, you are the age where you watch for the sport. They arenโ€™t trying to lure you in, youโ€™re already here.

Blue Sky explore search results for Chicago returns โ€œno results found for Chicagoโ€

Is there a reason why the search of Chicago pulls no results and everything on the Chicago feed only shows mentions that are 23 min or older? I donโ€™t think people suddenly stopped talking about an entire city.

Weโ€™re set to inherit at least 3 full sets of china. I have no clue what the plan is.

This guy. He posts videos of patients reacting to their new colours and uhโ€ฆ they say they are all happy customers, but some of their reactions do not match that.

Thatโ€™s what my doctor told me. I only have a symbicort inhaler, to use once a day and then as needed, but my symptoms are mild so YMMV.

Iโ€™m following the super creepy eye color change doctor on instagram, but I hope all my friends know itโ€™s because itโ€™s freaky and I want to come back to it, not because I want to do this.

I canโ€™t remember, it was mostly just to learn how to design the experiments. Both cats were very well behaved and fluffy, and one was wobblier.

The best movie! We watch it for GIS day because Stu the IT guy is the only real representation of GIS in media. He even explains that itโ€™s like google earth with layers!

(By experiments, we mean how they responded to stimuli like treats and feather wands. No wobbly cats were harmed in these classes)

Our first year psych class involved designing experiments to test our profโ€™s two wobbly cats and try to quantify their abilities. It was a great lesson, plus it meant an entire class of first years got to love on the cats. They were โ€œexperimentedโ€ on annually.

Iโ€™ve gained like 5 lbs from Halloween candy and living my life like a bear before hibernation. I want to get back on track, but also thereโ€™s still so much Halloween candy and itโ€™s almost hibernation time.

Well. At least itโ€™s more than the actual โ€œlockdownsโ€ so hopefully they will gain some perspective.

The argument is that it violates the freedom of speech of this one counsellor who provides talk therapy. Which is such an insane reach.
