Yes me too. And it works great. I do make a backup of it to another provider once in a while though, just in case.

Again, what are you taking about? There are open source implementations available. I can write my own. They do work. This list just shows some which do not actually implement the spec correctly.

Also moving the goalpost. The post I replied to said I couldn’t export it. I absolutely can, and have, with a single click. To another provider. It’s really not a big deal.

What are you talking about? I can literally export all that data to another OS or password manager. Takes a whopping single click.

I do have an actual point, you for whatever reason just don’t agree with it.

My point is that people in prison gave up their freedom when they committed crimes. They should not be rewarded by giving them dietary choices. It’s a prison, a punishment, not a hotel.

Are they? Are there any actual Turing machines? Doesn’t that require infinite memory? I don’t know of a single thing which actually has that, nor one that comes close.

My algorithm is O(n+n+..n) which is O(n), since there we also ignore addition fortunately :D

Well, you might have better success if like France and Germany you already have the things you wish for and simply agree to start using it

I was responding to the glp-1 question.

And yes, exercising and dieting absolutely reduces the need for these medications.

It also reduces the amount of people who have high cholesterol, although again, in both cases not all

For large numbers, operations like addition don’t matter? Only multiplication? And now we want to find the fewest amount of multiplications?

Okay. No problem.

(ad + bc) = d + d .. + d + c + c .. + c

There we go, zero multiplications.

For all people? No. For the vast majority of people? Yes. Eat healthy and exercise more.

moi2388 — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 05:03:22 +0000

Are they so good? Or does it look like they are because they get medals in Winter Olympics, where they are overrepresented given that there aren’t that many countries which even have a winter?

moi2388 — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 04:57:09 +0000

Because it’s about sports, not games.

Because there is a lot of rail. And it requires inspection.

I don’t think the parents who allow their kids to do this will suddenly start parenting them, so I doubt the effect will actually be significant; kids will simply work around it.

Not really. Not having a swastika is not a problem in the slightest. Indians can also perfectly fine create versions which do include them if they’d prefer that.
