There's so much more they could have done, it's crazy that lying to the public is what they decided on. The media of course didn't help either, saying things like "Trump trying to fast-track vaccines could end up being w

I forget where I read it, but the reasoning I heard for it is that your body still thinks the zero calorie sweeteners are sugar, so it will store more calories from the food you're eating because your body is compensating for the lack

Stuff like this is why the place I work for decided not to use Rust as a replacement for future C projects. The devs evaluating it loved the language, and said they were more productive with it than they were with C, but being forced to eit

A friend's husband called one of the suicide lines and he wasn't committed or visited by the police, so it's not a 100% chance. I don't know the details of what the husband talked about, but it may have been because it w

It wasn't "waaay out of his way" though, and he was also there helping provide first aid. It's also mindblowing that you think that him being threatened and chased by a convicted child rapist (the first person he shot),

> Why don't hire them to be workers in the school I've got a family member that actually does that. She drives the school bus in the mornings and evenings, and works in the cafeteria during the day.

Yep, that's all that's required for it, no hoops to jump through. The only catch is if you don't have any debt, you can't build credit, but it's pretty simple to get a credit card and pay it off every month.

Electric versions of lawn tools are much quieter. I switched to a battery powered lawn mower this year, and it barely makes more noise than a box fan you'd put in a window. With my old gas mower that was a similar size, I had to wear h

I think it was Supergiant Games who said that because Proton is good enough, they're don't plan to provide native Linux versions of their games in the future.

That was just one company though. Other devs have said it isn't worth supporting Linux because the majority of the bug reports they get are distro specific edge cases.

I read that that's one of the reasons sites started making you fill out their online form, in addition to uploading your resume. I've also heard of students using that method when they have a teacher who is a stickler about wordco

Limit the amount of active users until they prove they can safely run a platform of a certain size. It's like how buildings have max occupancy levels in case of fires. If a club is super popular, they don't get to cram in as many

I don't think it's a weapon, but it doesn't need high lethality to be an effective tool. Terrorist attacks and school shootings are rounding errors when it comes to overall deaths, but it doesn't stop them from dominatin

Every suburb I've lived in in the USA has had everything you've mentioned, except maybe a supermarket, and that's normally only been ~15 minutes by bike at the most. The only ones I've seen that didn't have parks an

They are doing stuff like that, but it doesn't make for sexy clickbait, so nobody posts it. For example, last week Microsoft released a patch for an exchange server exploit that NSA discovered and reported.

My biggest protip for Obsidian would be to never look at the connections graph. If you've got any kind of "completionist" mindset, it's easy to waste a bunch of time trying to perfectly format your notes so every node ha

It's probably subconcious. It's normal for people to pickup mannerisms of the people around them, so it doesn't seem far fetched for people to pick up fake tics and other behaviors if they spend all day watching videos of peo

My wife's cousin certainly believes it. But even in the small southern town she lives in that is full of people who think covid is made up, everyone else else thinks she's crazy for thinking the vaccines have microchips in them.

I'm guessing the downvotes are from Valve/Steam fanboys who don't like any criticism of their favorite company; I see it all the time on social media sites. Valve have said that they will have every Steam game running under P

It should be up to the parents, not the government. And like you said, it's banning one form of entertainment that is no worse than the others.
