Anyone know what evidence is that these were baby bottles?

They grow them in there. The opening is just wide enough for an umbilical cord.

Is it just a coincidence that your username is one letter away from being a type of sweater?

Flaws I didn't pay for piss me off a lot less.

RCN aka Astound doesn't just not list fees, they don't list what their Internet service base cost is except for new sign ups. After the new signup period runs out, the price is several times that.

Just switched from cable to a 5G based home Internet service. So far, so good. Go fuck yourself, RCN/Astound!

Eating pizza with an accidental dose of penicillin tends to have the opposite effect on me.

I'm with you. My eyes can only look one place at a time, I don't even understand the draw of multi monitor. Alt-tab is your friend.

The only objections to that which I find convincing is the difficulty of managing switching tasks between complex sets of windows and tabs that way. But that just tells me that someone needs to invest in better controls for managing a full-screen switching workflow as a third alternative to tiling vs overlapping.

And sometimes time off is an investment in yourself that will enable you to invest in your goal more efficiently / effectively when you get back to it.

What you describe is the basic structure in our economy that drives this, but the answer to why the enshittification has been accelerating, is technology. Advances in technology, particularly information technology, progressively enable corporations to be more efficient at all this, including more efficient at gaming the political system and manipulating users and customers.

If you look back nostalgically at some time decades ago when things were less bad, it's because things were less efficient and humanity was more likely to sometimes get in the way of the machine that we've built having it's way with us.

I was going to suggest that you should know from the smell just by being near it.
