A person can have an occasional Coke and it's perfectly fine. Fentanyl, not so much.

Very effective? Really? Really? It was very effective at first, until the virus adapted. Literally every single person I know that has been vaccinated (or not) has had COVID. Sure, they might have had reduced symptoms - but there's

Facebook mom groups. That's the real issue, and it's weird that so few seem to realize it. Sure, they skew Republican because stay-at-home moms tend to skew that way too. As you said though, it all predates both presidents. It

I would honestly rate Andor up there with A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. It’s the top tier, for sure.

GPT3 wasn't that impressive. GPT 3.5 is when it became "oh wow, this could really change things," and that was 2022.

That's nonsense. It used to take women a full workday per week just to wash clothes.

Keep in mind some of us still grow up in places where we can leave our cars/homes unlocked. Obviously extending that feeling to the entire world is naive, but it's also pretty understandable for our now elderly population..

Nah, that’s fine. So is Windows for most tools. The main thing is having 1. Good images with adequate captions and 2. Knowing what settings to use. Number 2 is much harder because there’s a lot of bad information out there and the people wh

OneTrainer would be another “easy” option.

No, you're absolutely right. I had the same thought afterwards - but also, we're both introverted and definitely not phone-talkers. I don't really blame myself on that front.

Oh, I definitely think that's part of it. Nobody wants to be betrayed, or made the fool.

I think in his case they simply built up trust, and made it seem incredibly casual. It's hard for me to know exactly because I wasn't super privvy to what was going on, but by the time I talked to him about it he effectively trus

The bar to get that done seemed too high before he lost all of his money. Now that's done there isn't much of a point, apart from protecting his house. My mom is on the deed as well so there shouldn't be too much risk there

Sure, but we all have character flaws. I'm certain if he were 10 years younger it wouldn't have happened to him. There's a reason it's almost always older people that fall for scams like these. We need better ways to

My dad isn't a gambler. He invested in the stock market, but never anything like options. I've never known him to buy a lottery ticket. He's not greedy. He is, however, pretty trusting. It took them months to get to the p

It happened to my father. I told him he was getting scammed. My mom (divorced) told him. So did my sister. It didn’t matter. He lost all of his savings - 300k+. I wish I had taken his phone away, changed his passwords, etc. My mom didn’t wa

We've already seen it happen with the Chinese tariffs being temporarily (possibly permanently, now) lowered. Competition works, as always (price fixing excepted).

Why they haven't changed the filibuster back to the way it used to be (with actual speaking, but only needed a majority vote to pass things) boggles the mind.

My sister was a waitress at Red Lobster in somewhat of a tourism city and made absolute bank. She still stole stuff like cutlery, salt shakers, etc. Let’s not pretend that most people that are stealing are Robin Hood types.

I’m having a bit of a mental crisis because I’ve always hated dealing with the side cut in hotdog buns and have cut many an uncut bun myself that way and I never even considered a top cut.

If we’re investing in securing the border with a significant chunk of that defense spending that’ll save us a lot more over time, presuming the democratic presidents of the future don’t proverbially throw the gates open.

We also need to pay our people/manufacturers significantly more than either of those countries. Don’t get wrong, we’ve all heard stories about $5,000 toilet seats or whatever but without actual changes on that front we can’t cut our bu

I concur, they’re far from a gimmick and the days I don’t put my treadmill under my desk I’m dragging by noon. You’d think it would tire you out but it absolutely does the opposite. Plus some days I burn something like 1,000 calories. That’

Right, but you might want to look at the regulations their lawmakers have been proposing. If put in place it would put a stop to that pretty much immediately.

I don't mean it turning on automatically, just that it's a waste of money when most people probably use their rear seats for children (or cargo).

If you could get the whole world on board, sure. However, many other countries aren't going to play ball. When there's a chance (even if it's tiny) that AGI is coming that becomes a huge matter of national security, nevermi

I can’t image that’d work well when child/booster seats are involved - which is probably why most cars don’t have rear heated seats.

Battery replacement is never going to happen, save for an absolutely remarkable new battery technology. They’re too big and too integrated into the vehicles. Most people want to charge at home as it’s significantly cheaper. More range makes

This is far too sweeping, but when you have California seemingly intent on smothering our AI industry in its crib it makes sense that they’re scared. That said, I think it’d be smarter of the GOP to let California do just that. It’s a chan
