SXM satellite radio has channels based on decades, and they often do top 100 countdowns for this day in that decade, and for the most part the selection is absolute crap until they get to the top 5-10. So, yeah, survivorship bias is what yo

You can also put it in a Dropbox directory. I actually do both. On one machine I keep it in the dropbox folder, and have Sync turned on. Importantly, don't do this in multiple machines. Either: 1) Use Dropbox to store and keep your not

You use the word documents on the site, but you don't make it clear that it is for making pdfs. I thought that this was just an html/css webpage editor. "Typeset and Generate PDFs with HTML/CSS" really should be the

Well said. I am a strong believer in vaccines. Injecting code that causes all of your cells to mass produce spike protines to train your body to fight the spike proteins that your cells are producing just seems really questionable and the V

This was pre-internet and in remote areas where there is a distrust of central authority. And there are loads of examples through history up till current day that show that blindly trusting authorities is naive. Heck, even in the article, s

I love touch screen checkout for ordering fast food and wish I could do it in the drive thru. We are a family of 6 and each person has their particular wants for an order. Too often when giving our order, things are not entered in, and the

I don't do anything fancy, but I like to be a telemarketing (usually just scams) speedbump. I am slightly skeptical, but kinda hesitantly agreeable, and try to keep them on the phone as long as possible and go through as many levels of

So many children's birthdays will be without balloons due to this use of helium. If it is for cargo, use hydrogen. It is cheap and plentiful, and can be used safely enough for this kind of application.

I am really curious as to what happens when one of these big companies just says nope to the fine. Will they be blocked from the EU? Is there some international way that they can get a US or Chinese company to pay up?

It sounds like extra regulation, and thus a large spread out cost for society, for something that hasn't seemed like a real problem. I worry that this would stifle innovation in development of products by small companies and individual

Turns out that growing corn - which uses a huge amount of fuel, to then turn that into fuel produces more emissions. Perhaps if we stopped paying people to grow corn, they wouldn't find such stupid things to do with the corn that no on
