My clearly incorrect understanding was that there are ~8 blood types. So reading that there are 48 is shocking.

Canada is cold. Every major city in the country is full of Teslas. I’ve been driving mine for 6 years and have the same experience as the Montana commenter. In fact so much better than a gas car that freezes up and takes time to warm up. It

I agree and relate to this. Friend take work to maintain. The friends that persist beyond what you describe are because we invent some shared project to work on together. Really doesn’t matter what it is.

They also have the poorest who have cheap credit cards subsidize the richest who have the best cards and receive most of the rewards. The inequality is baked into the system. Which is adjacent to: Nearly everyone loses, because the house kn

This is the issue with most proposed solutions here. Artists (bands) want to sell tickets to fans and people who appreciate them. And many (probably most) have very little money. They are able to scrape and save for a ticket. But not some b

This problem with this is that it assumes a supply and demand shaped problem that markets solve. You can’t just make more Taylor Swift to meet demand. You can’t open more Taylor Swifts in different regions. Acts have a very low very rigid u

I think about this every time my car is slow to wake or doesn’t wake when in a spot with poor signal, it’s SMS fuckery. Regardless of all their problems now, decisions like this that made Tesla successful. Need a low power always on way to

What’s the relationship, if any, with https://github.com/alexrudall/ruby-openai ? That gem is actively maintained and widely used. It’s a good gem! But by definition they’re always playing catch up.

Airlines need to offer this as a single ticket option. (They might, I don’t know). Because the average traveller or the business traveller isn’t going to coordinate and book two systems, and the headache associated with one being delayed.

It’s a captive audience which you can directly target for retention. In 3 months when they go to buy another plane ticket they’ll remember the catchy funny video and associate that airline with positive feelings when making a choice.

I used autohotkey for about half a year when I injured my shoulder. With the time to practice I got most of the way back to my typing speed with one hand. It’s really a viable solution that wasn’t too hard to learn.

My favourite part of the Dutch language is how it adds the -je diminutive to other words to make new words. A van? That’s just like a cute baby bus.

Anything that can be obtained from your discarded tissue or Starbucks cup isn’t really something you can hope to keep secret.

Thank you for saying this. I’ve done some of these saliva samples and I’ve seen the freak outs about what happens if “they” get my genome. But I cannot for the life of me figure out what they would do with it maliciously? It’s not like it c

While it’s clearly wrong to drag your bags out, I try to give people doing this some leeway. They are in shock and acting on instinct. I’d like to believe I’d do better but who knows.

While we were camping on a lake in the Canadian shield, my friend rolled his ankle very badly in the night. We found a tiny bit of cell signal and called for help. I was trying to imagine some dramatic helicopter rescue as the various organ

The part that tripped me up when I was younger was using the power bombs to shatter the glass pipe to gain access to Marida. It looks like a piece of background, does not respond to any other weapons, is not colour coded or have any breakab

The US is very slow to adopt these kind of payment changes. I'd say I make about half of my CC purchases in Canada right now contactless. My understanding is that since there are countless local banks in the US, adoption of technology
