This reminds me of “en” vs “ett” in Swedish. No rules - just gotta know

Der, die, das!

... den, des, dem. But those are derived from the three bass cases.

> The scary part to me is that it actually works. Not practically, but that upper management and whatnot actually buy it.

That “below average” intelligence pool are well represented in upper management. FOMO is a powerful thing, smart people are often tricked by dumb ideas because they don’t want to miss out on something or be perceived to not understand the value of a bad idea

Counterpoint - the two major Australian supermarkets both sell in-store “finished” cookies that are like crack. They’re delicious. They come in a pack of 5 for $3.50 but 5 is way too much. I’d gladly pay $1 each for them as a snack while I’m shopping

There are occasions where shrinkflation does make sense. In the Mars case, I’d say there is consumer demand on the health side as well. Yes, a Mars bar is never “healthy” but 40g is less worse than 60g

What is a "finished" cookie?

Refers to the baking. These come mostly baked but frozen, then "finished" in store.

An eaten one?

Automatic filtering on modern iOS has been a game changer here. Assume Android has something similar, but I can't speak highly enough of that one feature

If only it didn’t show the missed call pip for filtered calls.

I use SpamBlocker for filtering (available on F-Droid) to block calls, and with at least newish Samsung there is an option to hide blocked calls in the menu of the phone app.

I've got it configured to block on a country basis, with previous calls and contacts as a whitelist - that works for me.

I found a good solution for that - just remove the "phone" app from the home screen.

Yeah… I’m an old. I still make and receive phone calls pretty regularly.

I do too. You don't need to have the phone app on your home screen to do either of those.

An MMO of Full Throttle would be amazing!

It'd be interesting to see what someone could do to turn a 90s era adventure game into an MMO! I never played the game myself but I think basically any game dev project that modernizes stuff is really neat.
