I was being hyperbolic because people seem to be overstating the cost of a cleaner. I used to pay my Spainish cleaners about €20 euros a week for two cleaners. Granted that was while ago, but it was peanuts. Also I'd…

As I said. I am not interested in any of this. I am glad you find it useful, but I have the level of technology I am comfortable with.

If getting a small vacuum out quickly is a big mental load, I dunno what to say to that. It all seems like it isn't necessary. It is like having a smart fridge or something that produce ice-cubes for me and loads of…

The point being made is that some people like to make much a do about nothing. Just put the dog or cat temporarily in the other room, outside and the problem is solved.
Your reply is exactly the preachy response that causes people to be defiant and resentful. > Yes, people do all sorts of nasty and cruel things because they think it's kinda amusing. That doesn't justify the behavior.…
Exactly. I never ever seen it used in any other way.
Ok fair enough.

I am English and the phrasing used is a backhanded way to tell you to shut-up and go away. I've seen it used by both native and non-native speakers in this manner. It is about 50/50 though as many people don't seem to…

You always get a comment like this. I don't particularly agree. There are pros and cons to either approach The tooling in a lot of languages and frameworks expects you to use an ORM, so a lot of the time you will have…
ORMs have better support I've found in the past (at least in .NET and Go) for Postgres. Especially around date types, UUIDs and JSON fields IIRC.
Firstly, I love the straw-man. I am fine with length and the more story driven approach if it is warranted. More often than not I do not believe it is warranted. Secondly, I am allowed (whether you like it or not) to…
Cats aren't that bothered by vacuum cleaners unless you come at them with it and they normally just run into another room. Never seen a dog that bothered by them.
It is an annoying writing style that is done on a lot of sites in both news articles and "stories" as you call them.
You could change your attitude. A vacuum cleaner is already a labour saving device
Considering some of these things can cost almost £1000. This firmly then lives in the total waste of money pile then. I will stick with my £50 tesco vacuum thank you.
It is well known passive aggressive corporate phrase to shut people up. Who it is used by is largely irrelevant, it almost always means the same thing.
