Another large part is the draft. Worst team gets first pick goes a long way to levelling the playing field.

The FIA (motorsport governing body) is giving them a run for their money. Recently removed presidency term limits and made several other rule changes to prevent challengers. And like FIFA, despite the majority opinion seeming to be against

I can't even begin to imagine how appalled Bukowski would be if he was alive to read this haha

Most things are a solved problem if we give up the things that make life worth living. Obesity is a solved problem if you just eat for health. Road traffic deaths are a solved problem if you never leave your house. Suicides are a solved pro

I listened for a long time but eventually moved on. They're still around though. They found out about John during a recording of one of the shows: https://youtu.be/fcvPifFSUL0?si=XC-0V75agqjoUSP7&t=1950

I remember him from listening to TWiT in the 00's/10's so I'm out of the loop. Who's the paranoid crackpot?

The only friction here is 'you're not allowed to do that' - which doesn't typically work on teenagers. We had the same rules for dumbbphones and iPod's 20 years ago and it didn't work then.

How is this effective at all? Every kid will continue to use them surreptitiously, as they always have.

I've never had to do this for a visa for countries that required one. It was all online.

>> Really, now? What national news do you watch? I have literally never seen current/breaking news stories about the death of American troops in action. It happened about three days ago. I'm not even in the US and it was a t

It's basically a freelancer website at this point. The original concept is long dead.

I recently started buying CD's again (also have bought vinyl for a couple of decades now). Something it made me realise is that we've lost the 'gift' of music. Giving/receiving CD's as gifts was always a joy. C

You can find someone on Fiverr that’ll do a better job than this for $100. The concept will be completely different but it’ll be much better.

I don't think that's true. People had been amassing CD collections for a decade or two by that point. At the original '1000' songs you're talking around 80 albums which isn't a lot.

>> I agree that if we care about the environment then we should at least try to travel less, or less far. I disagree. Regular people have already made plenty of sacrifices. We should continue enjoying our lives so long as billionaires

I think it was much more popular before budget airlines became so big in Europe. When you can fly to most European cities for < €50 at anytime of the year taking lots of weekend breaks is affordable even for students.

By that logic they don’t need to learn much at all. They can just ask AI.

It seems like Apple put a big focus on 'kids mode' things this WWDC. To the point they dedicated a major section of the keynote to it. Hopefully a part of that will be focussed on the workarounds.

I'm surprised any company allows work to be done over employees personal apps/devices/numbers. If a colleague/boss contacted me about work via my personal number they'd be quickly told to never do it again.

I'm sure if you were one of those 12k your loved ones wouldn't be saying "what's 12k in a country of 350m?".

>> for the anxiety crowd: don't buy street weed and avoid sativas I don't think blanket advice like this is helpful. For me indicas increase my anxiety significantly while sativas do the opposite.

Yeah I think for any of the significant pot smokers I've known it's a way of avoiding other issues. As a positive it's probably much better they descend into pot than alcohol which I'm sure many would if it was the only

AGI isn't necessary to completely change things. The change that's occurred in the last 6 months alone is massive. Another couple of big steps like the end of last year and the world is unrecognisable from even a few years ago.
