This is the crux of my belief system on the topic too. Along with the associated “burden of proof” and how making it less burdensome should not be anyone citizens goal or responsibility. The irony is that it’s precisely why GPs dad had a jo

I hated manual labor as a kid/young adult, associated it with chores and whatnot, now in my 40s I build homes as a hobby/side gig. I like to be as hands on as possible with it and do about 70% of the work myself on every house. I

iPhones weren't ubiquitous for at least a few years after the initial release. Parents of teens and younger weren't the first adopters but it came on relatively quickly. The Social Network movie came out in 2010 which Facebook had

This sounds similar to my experience. I didn’t miss my parents at all, I was comfortably independent at a younger age. Even on weekends when parents were home, I’d rather be out playing with my friends. I remember leaving notes on the table

The social media boom timing pretty much matched the popularity of iPhones. So the problem is really they began to have a full computer/screen in their pocket at all times. The usage trends are always going to change when the new tech

> Its a failure of leadership that schools needed a statewide ban to make such an obviously positive change. I finished my schooling right as phones were being introduced in the 90s, also in Texas fwiw, but they were so zero-tolerance ab

As a older than this person, I feel like it’s around the time most people have that first large step of retrospectiveness where they see their current self has deviated from their self they thought they were previously. They realize they ha

I’m more concerned with no tip on taxes. Sales tax is usually in the subtotal that tip percentage are calculated on. Most POS I’ve seen do this way

No, I haven’t. I guess the feel isn’t my most important feature. I usually buy the latest high end model but keep it for a while. Using a 12 pro still and it’s already starting to feel sluggish so I might upgrade to this 17 version, it’s di

Isn't choosing to engage as a participant in a study more analogous to entering a contract which is also generally deemed inappropriate/invalid while under the influence? Just saying there's a ton of grey area. I've neve

Same, I get random “raw dogging it” comments from strangers much more often than I drop my phone even since having kids. Ironically via raw dogging it.

I kind of like it. It's one where the pictures and renderings look cool but IRL it looks like they messed it up. However, I've seen a few modded Cybertrucks with bigger wheels and tires and a wrap that actually make me think it do

I think this highlights the two extremes. The grey area requires human interaction, such as, talking to the school leadership and explaining your phone-less situation. I guarantee they will accommodate some other solution. Like, “pickup fo

Eventually, maybe. Right now I see a lot more people wasting time with AI in search of these promised efficiencies. A lot of companies reducing headcount are simply hiding the fact that they are deprioritizing projects or reducing their ove

If people bounce without reading or paying, how much do they really want the content? Articles like this might get me with a headline but once I hit a paywall I realize very quickly how little I care.

It’s the opposite for me. I’ve never been able to listen to music while coding as my thoughts would drown it out or it would keep me from thinking so I’d shut it off. However if I am vibe coding my brain is basically idle and can handle som

This is only an issue with a single photo or low sample sizes. In the case of family photos, you’d like have a whole bunch of them to reference and could spot inconsistencies more easily. If it becomes so good to be completely indistinguish

I disagree, am with qualeed on this one. I don’t think the size doubling means much at all except raising the question of why did it double? What was added that I care about? My instinct tells me nothing so it’s shouldn’t really be accepta

I think the funny part is they continue on promoting the service as something you can do while you drive after having failed at it. Plenty of value in the service, but the while you drive part would have been something I kept to myself afte
