absolutely good for him. my post was obviously slagging on the engineers and developers and other hangers on who think they're entitled to more money than other people because they took some hard math classes in college

Surprised to see Google Maps is actually not too bad for turn-by-turn directions now. It includes recommended lanes, the next two turns, and very impressive the time cost of not taking the marked route: i.e. if you go straight ahead instead of turning left. Unfortunately in CT I noted that if four lanes appear only 3 feet before a junction, being alerted to which of those to be whilst only in three is really useless as the extra lane can be either the left or the right.

imagine you make your online game free-to-play to stop piracy and make some money. well 4chan calls this "pay-to-win" and "DRM" so they order 50 pizzas to your house and swat you. personally i don't have my address online anywhere and even the thought of having it tied to some username or app makes me uneasy because doxxing is a thing. just google having my address is something i avoid let alone moral-less google customers.
