It's not just the floor though. Hitting your head on furniture/fixtures on your way down is enough to do you in. Ask Bob Saget...

> But that begs the question of why they wouldn't just go buy a bedroom TV instead and move the PS5 into the bedroom? I like the shows my wife watches but not always enough to want to dedicate my full attention to them. I'll of

Interesting point, though I'd suggest that's more to do with shorter blocks of text being more legible on small screens. My eyes track where I am on the page by counting gaps between paragraphs. Unless it's particularly evoca

Not one single person forgot what triggered it. Most people who aren't bots or shills just disagree that this is at all an appropriate response. Killing civilians in retaliation is not war and no amount of rabbinic rhetoric makes it ri

Target is/was pretty bad about this. As of ~2007 daytime backroom staff had to pick n items within a 2 hour window, every 2 hours, 3-4 times per shift. There'd be ad hoc forklift requests for toilet paper or patio furniture from

Reddit is highly subjective. In shopping for flashlights, the respective subreddit recommends only obscure AliExpress brands. The community are retiree collectors who obsess over specs and cannot possibly use them in the field. Availability

They're never together at the time of the complaint, but I don't see it mattering-- if a dude is sending dick pics to anyone while on the clock then it's an issue. So these investigations usually focus on verifying whether

Something close to that, I think. Russia has been putting a lot of effort into beam jamming lately. DoSing/jamming the uplink interfaces could result in commands not relaying/executing, hence: loss of control.

Of course. It works at every level, all the way down to family. Other advice here suggests joining groups to meet people, but anytime you two are under the same reporting umbrella, you're vulnerable to malicious claims when they want t

Lmao. My doctor has zero availability and the lines at CVS triple during spring break for the same reason.

I investigate these complaints for a living. Please don't date anybody you work with. We'll both be happier for it. The fun always starts after a breakup and the other party doesn't want to see you at work anymore. There is u

"Hello Work, for Dating" would likely be a hit in more than just the west. Recruiters are just matchmakers after all.

If you really want to blow your mind, your "porcelain" bathtub can also rust. Learned this the hard way when a cat started pissing in the tub. Between that and using bleach for cleaning, the enamel was eroded down to the metal cas

Kroger was at one time remarkably progressive. Back in 1992(!) they rolled out a smart-cart system that I can't find any references to because its new (2021) release dominates the SEO. It was an LCD tablet mounted to the cart that woul

That was so shitty it's unbelievable. The law prohibits "gifts" and giving items out for free. Republicans hate free shit and are all about commerce though. Selling the same items for $0.01 a pop does not appear to be illegal

Corollary experience: the more effort/time/money/energy you expend in a successful transaction, the more likely it is they'll impose a shitty condition at the end of it, expecting you to be too invested to challenge it.

Not quite. People think this is about OnlyFans thots or ex-boyfriends posting revenge porn but I think everyone's reading into it. This smells like FOSTA/SESTA verbiage and the government is not quick to legislate porn, so I assum

I don't trust the rhetoric of this article. It's creepy and hyperbolic, before we get to: > If your friend's nipple is visible through her t-shirt in a group shot, you may have to get a consent form from her before posting

No, this is the "safe" way to discriminate without explicitly saying "we don't like you." Case in point, look at Atlanta. Mandatory drug testing is still a thing, and they're averse to hiring anybody with a c

I agree in spirit, but their pessimism is borne from sounding the alarm early and still failing to avert a trainwreck. It's understandably demoralizing. They did offer a list of possible solutions despite that. They're trying.

As an American, I'd never even seen a Huawei device until I saw a Huawei table at a Yodabashi in Japan, and you aren't kidding about quality. They're what Samsung could be if they actually had their shit together. That said,
