The pharmacy calling to tell me that my prescription is ready. Those may be AI-generated too if they add the medication name in. Not sure if that's covered by this ruling though.

This is a false dilemma fallacy. The options are not "let Congress vote on everything forever only" and "unelected agency heads rule your life". There are shades of gray between those two extremes.

Agency heads appointed via cronyism is undemocratic. Better we move to a system where Congress has to pass laws rather than installing yes-men into these agencies to push through their own personal agenda with little to no pushback.

Are you not a developer? Being proficient in one means that it will take very little time to transfer to the other. C++ and Rust have a great deal of overlap in that way.

So the president gets to appoint eight judges, handpicked, to decide what is and isn’t an invasion of privacy? Couldn’t he choose judges that would let him spy on his political enemies without blowback? I’m genuinely asking. The Politico ar

All of that is factual You're sort of singling out Catholicism though. Islam does all those things much much worse than Catholicism ever has - in the present day too! I'm not Catholic and I don't care to defend them. Still,

Pretty silly to do this during an election year. It’s super easy to track who votes for this and put them on my Do-not-vote document I’ve got running. I might have forgotten if they’d done it in an off-year.

There are still states that outlaw sodomy This is misleading. None of them are legally enforceable. They simply haven’t been struck from the books because it would be entirely performative.

True in general, yes, but writing is an elegant solution where the longer something is, the more likely you are to write it down because you are less likely to be able to remember it. The shorter something is, the less likely you are to wri

Once upon a time, they were the premiere spot for kid content. Now, they’re a distant third behind Disney+ and then Hulu.

I’ve yet to see any company solve the cheating problem in any game. People forget that Valve gave up on the ring0 stuff not because it was unpopular, but because it stopped being effective.

Yeah, he was checked out by 2012. The only reason no one noticed how many jokes he was reusing or how many personas he was recycling was because his supporting cast was so unbelievably talented. For example, Jason Jones got an interview wit

And now QuickBooks is also a bank? Offering checking accounts? I suspect they’ve just partnered with a real bank to do so but the brand confusion is off the charts.

They’re certainly good at sushi conveyor belt bars, where most people don’t care which food they’re selecting beyond what it looks like but a small minority want to know what they’re actually biting into.

Each month, the university conducts a minimum of 500 phone interviews across the continental U.S. Phone interviews are laughably inaccurate in the present day and a count of 500 is totally inadequate to capture what the entire US thinks a

There's a theory[0] that the bloke from "Into the Wild" died from seeds that weren't in his fieldbook because they had never been known to be poisonous at the time. Again, though, I agree - pack your own food into the ca

In fairness, there’s a method to eating exotic plants that isn’t just “ram it down the hatch”. You smell, look, and feel for anything that seems off-putting. You touch it to your tongue and wait 30 minutes to see if anything happens. You ma

I don’t disagree. Add in the GC and you’re competing with C#, which is an unwinnable battle considering the resources of MS. Dump the GC and you’re competing in a much more winnable battle with C++, Rust, and that’s it (when the decision wa
