If cities weren’t designed around cars, your church wouldn’t be six miles away in the first place. People in non-auto-centric countries all over the world take their families to church and everywhere else you listed.

I’m using Arq Backup with Wasabi for the storage. I think it’s a great combo.

From the very beginning of the article, there were four “successful assassination attempts” but only one “ever came close to succeeding?” I’m very lost.

Based on the downvotes flying around here, it looks like there are a lot of people who somehow haven’t noticed the keyboard. Maybe Apple should have actually made the new tiny time display not scrollable so people would be forced to see the

How is it as the expense of novices? They were fine without it before and they’re fine without knowing about it now. But if they do end up wanting to do some of that advanced stuff, it’s one Google or friend-suggestion away.

How are you so sure the videos are at the top of Google results because they're artificially pushing YouTube and not just because that's where the relevant/popular videos are? Actually I find Google video search is still the

Do an image search for something like "shoulder camera bag" (to put them at least in the same ballpark) and see how many look like the Everyday Sling. I scrolled down the first few pages and there was nothing even close. Now look

Honest question, what do you do with it multiple times a day? You use it as your regular bank and a debit card or something?

It wasn't the lady on the flight calling it an o-ring, it was the writer. And there's no way you'd just happen to make up the word "o-ring" unless you were trying to reference an existing term. You'd just call

O-rings aren't just for engineers. It's a standard part use in many everyday scenarios, not just rockets. You can buy them in the hardware store. The cladding is most certainly not an o-ring, even to the layman. Rather, the writer

That sentence is very poorly written and I also read it wrong the first time, but he’s not advocating to fire old people. He’s saying the “plain old” reason for firing people, “you are not doing a great job.”

I don’t think that’s true. Yes, anyone aware of or involved in the story knows DeepFuckingValue, but I often see people online—even people who worship him as their hero—surprised that he’s not some mysterious figure, but had been putting ou

Serious question, where do you draw the line between investing and gambling? The original case for GME was built on solid fundamentals and I’d say not really gambling even though you were going up against hedge funds trying to short it into

That's exactly why phone companies are bound by extra regulations. They are deemed core infrastructure and private censorship from phone networks would effectively be public censorship. If CloudFlare or Gmail became the only way to com

It’s funny (but not unexpected of course) to see the list of variations on Wikipedia. In Japan they call it GAFA, missing from this list.

Not really. Downvotes are specifically intended for comments that don't contribute to the discussion, so downvoting these wouldn't indicate disagreement or censorship.

I think you missed most of the story. The stock was massively undervalued before attracting the attention of WSB. The first posts were when it was valued less than the cash it was holding. On top of that, you have the beginnings of a takeov

That’s some next-level reality distortion to frame this as “against particular groups.” Unless you define the “particular group” as people that directly attack the heart of the government.

I honestly don’t even know what generation you’re assuming I’m from and referring to. Is this supposed to be something old people don’t understand? Or young people? Of course you can have standalone jokes, but “I’m six years old” is not one
