   That's not entirely a waste, it would have given you a better chance for an email address you wanted.

   Neither realistic nor generous; you haven't accounted for working, commuting, personal hygeine, cleaning the house, laundry, grocery shopping, errands, etc. etc. I think if I absolutely ignored the need for rest I could get in 32 hours

   Trends like this don't cause all the popular places to have half as many customers. Trends like this cause the number of popular places to go down, over years and years, leaving the existing ones as full as ever, because the customers

   26 minutes a day is not by any means a rounding error.

   Good point! Although I'd do a somewhat different definition for people in the park. I'm not trying to recreate the entire legal and judicial framework.

   I'm willing to take the risk if the opportunity shows itself. But I've spent so much time understanding what the disorder did to me that I think I could teach my child the things that took me so long to learn.

   I think it's a terrible approach. I'm on the spectrum myself and my own autistic tendencies clearly hurt me and others around me. I also get intensely frustrated and sometimes hurt by actions that look very much like they came fro

   But the Markdown document doesn't actually need a parser to still be usable. Markdown as a whole imitates the conventions of typed text. The table formats would even be usable on an old typewriter.

   Definitely. Just because they break the nominal rule doesn't obligate me to throw them out of the park. I wouldn't stop the ambulance either, but it's definitely breaking the rule.

    I tried the game after your comment and got 100% agreement with the majority. My rule was that a vehicle was an artificially powered object capable of moving itself along with one or more people (not necessarily comfortably! This is just a

    Based on a lot of bird nesting videos, they most likely practice in the nest ahead of time. One doesn't have to outright fly to practice generating lift.

    The private sector has demonstrated a thousand times over that they're bad-faith actors.

    Ruling that artificial intelligence voices aren't artificial would seriously damage the legitimacy of the court system.

    That's not a reasonable way to think about it in this context. If a small fish eats algae that is poisonous to us, it's likely able to metabolize the poison and not itself be poisonous to its predators or to us.

    The other answers are good, but calling Texas part of "the West" can be justified even now on the basis of population density. The median north-south population line has not reached the Mississippi even as of 2020 - it's in s

    As nineplay@ remarked elsewhere, "there's a nauseating bias here against people who've had horrific childhoods". Unethical is one thing, neuroticism should not be a disqualifier from decent employment.

    I think it's become inherent to Internet platforms. The playbook is too well-known for founders to ignore.

    Unreliability is relative. Everyone botches this up all the time. The most neurotypical person I ever met literally questioned the whole premise of predicting what other people were thinking and said that most people will just tell you thin

    I think this is all utterly misunderstood. IMO autism is a predictive processing failure: the brain gives too much weight to inputs and inference and not enough to prior knowledge. This causes hypersensitivity to everything surprising, whic

    The toggle isn't good enough because of their practice of commingling all suppliers' inventory of a single SKU. Shipped-from-and-sold-by-Amazon doesn't mean you're actually going to get an instance of the product they st

    I think the big problem with Amazon is that they stopped caring about the quality and provenance of the products on their platform. Other retailers do exist who have more of a stake in the quality of the goods they sell.

    I can tell YouTube to never recommend a particular channel again, but, sadly, I can't tell YouTube to never show me another Temu ad.

    I'm really confused because the import assertions link doesn't say that they're deprecated at all, let alone why. (It's also possible I'm being served something different than you were because I'm on mobile?)

    The assertion says much more about your views than theirs.

    If most technology breaks, someone can at least figure out why and fix it in future iterations. No-one is capable of doing that with an AI chatbot.
