Police spending most of their time enforcing traffic? That’s a shock to me because I’d count half a dozen easy tickets for cars parked in protected bike lanes while commuting to work in Oakland.

This is reason #1 why I cannot wait for IRS’s free filing tool to receive more love. Tired of experts in regulatory capture like TurboTax or H&R Block having their cake and eating it too: being paid to do people’s taxes and then selling

It’s iOS’s API for managing key-value user settings. User wants kilometers instead of miles? Store the selection in UserDefaults. They want larger font size? Store it in UserDefaults. Different accent color? You guessed it, also UserDefault

24/7 news cycle constantly highlighting every single kidnapping or crime that happens across the country has instilled a culture of fear in most people. I grew up riding my bike completely across town by myself, before cell phones were

I’m convinced the late 90s and early 00s was peak growing up years and it’s been going downhill ever since. One major factor in my reluctance to have kids is that there is zero possible way for me to offer a better experience for them compa

It’s be mentioned elsewhere and I’ll mention it here again. *UserDefaults does not belong on this list.* Effectively every app on the store uses it in some fashion. Apple, please. Remove this.

Epic lost to Apple because the courts saw through Epic’s bullshit and realized they wanted to break up the monopoly only so they could enact their own.

This makes sense if we don’t consider the Big Bang as the “creation” of our universe but rather just another event that happens in it. Thermodynamic laws and how our universe is expanding are both fairly well understood. Is it too much of a

Relief checks are a drop in the ocean compared to the pure, unadulterated fraud that was the PPP program and how much of that was forgiven. I personally know companies that got 5-10 million dollars by lying about how many they employed. Any

What’s the big deal? EBikes can accelerate to 25-30mph unassisted which is firmly in moped/scooter territory and those require a drivers license. Want to get around town without a license? Pedal yourself.

The amount of taxpayer $$$ that Israel claws from the US in the name of religion was already quite sickening. Now they’re getting that money while simultaneously switching to a totalitarian government.

I will never inconvenience myself in the name of fighting climate change. Anti-nuclear diehards can assume that responsibility if they want to keep hamstringing the only thing that is going to make a real difference.

Where is the support for the middle class? The ones deemed too wealthy for financial aid, but not wealthy enough to actually afford the cost of college? Just more tax dollars being siphoned away from my family that got zero assistance.

I don’t agree. My parents are low middle class. We didn’t qualify for any financial aid and they were tasked with trying to find a way to send both my sister and I to college which they couldn’t afford. So what did we do? Take out a bunch o

On the other hand, I love gambling in general. Take from the stupid, tax the ever loving hell out of it, and give to the schools. I expect to lose 100% of what I go into a casino with. Those who think they can make a profit from it are prof

In my opinion, it’s more likely that the mammal climbed the carcass to access meat that larger mammals already consumed from the ground level. Zero chance something this small is actively trying to take down prey as large as this.

I was about to upgrade my 1070, a card that’s about 7 years old, until I saw I needed to get a 4090 for any sort of meaningful VRAM increase. Absolutely wild that Nvidia is still shipping mid-tier GPUs with 8gb after this long.

Was going to reply with this. Target is commendable for having patience and catching these people when actual punishment will be given. Thieves consider being caught for misdemeanors just a cost of doing business, like large corporations do
