It’s because we have really been in the midst of a stupidity epidemic for at least the last 5 years and our debt has finally come due.

Crazy lol, never in a million years would I have thought my Toto would appreciate in value far more than my stock account.

Why is there a run on toilet paper? The supply chain isn’t disrupted. Even if it is and there is a shortage, what’s the big deal if you run out and have to poop before you shower? How about instead of buying 40 pounds of toilet paper now, t

Yea this is really frustrating. I bought a box of 10 N-95s in January when I saw what was going on in China and figured they’d be good to have, since I have older people in my family who are in poor health (leukemia, diabetes, heart disease

Insurance by definition is negative expected value (otherwise insurance companies wouldn't be in business). Great job hedging!

It is comically right out of the plot of every pandemic-type movie where no one in charge takes it seriously enough at the beginning and it therefore spreads wildly out of control.

I agree with your point but that's just astoundingly stupid to put a team of people on building your own features on top of Jira without first spending 5 minutes to look into whether your new features have already been developed in mor

This is easy to prevent. First of all, it’d be crammed with cameras. If it’s truly unmanned, there wouldn’t be a steering wheel, so it would be impossible for a human to drive, even if a robber could somehow gain access to the locked cabin.

Yea, I feel like Amazon is so good at customer service that people just expect full refunds these days even for things totally beyond the control of the seller. The terms stated the tickets were non refundable. Don’t buy the ticket if you d

I guess it comes down to who are you more afraid of? Terrorists and pedophiles or law enforcement with unlimited power and resources to spy on you and imprison you. Of course it's a false choice anyway, if encryption is legislated away

I fail to see how my particular pattern of driving affects the flow of traffic in front of me.

It doesn't disengage immediately after taking your hands off the wheel, it starts prompting you after about 5-10 seconds.

I think you should give it a try yourself. I use autopilot every day and I understand and agree with exactly what he is saying. I consider myself a very safe driver and my record proves that.

I think it really shines in heavy traffic. You don't really have to be as vigilant in bumper to bumper traffic, and can take your mind off of constantly stopping and going. After all, the worst that'll happen is you'll get in

As is usually the case with this administration, sometimes you can agree on things they do but it is never for the right reasons.

Yea, makes no sense to me. I’ve forgotten many passwords for things I thought I’d never forget, including a bitcoin wallet. I can only imagine how hard it would be not using the password for months or years because law enforcement seized yo

Because it’s always about change in income, not absolute numbers. I guarantee you someone who went from making $50k to $100k in a year will report being happier than a guy who made a steady $1m each year.

If you’re serious about the security of your data, you need to know how to pick a password you will remember. There are things in this world that we ask of average people that are far more difficult. In 2020, picking and remembering a passw

Everyone talks about planes being packed with tons of redundancy but this is simply not true - where is the landing gear redundancy?

Yea, what services is the airline providing in exchange for that extra fee? That’s what I never understood. They charge $100-300 for cargo that has to stay under the seat in an enclosed carrier the whole time. I could understand an extra de

Anybody who is in the unfortunate position of deciding whether the target they’re aiming at is a missile or passenger plane needs to do the following simple calculus: if you are even slightly unsure, don’t do anything (especially if the obj
