Maybe he can work on making Facebook not be such a piece of shit. I feel like he got his one lucky break and should just give up on trying to make more money. He already has billions. Is he proud of Facebook as a product? Because as a user

I always go to a cashier. Every damn time the self checkout is open, there are two or three employees standing around doing nothing while one runs around fixing all the errors and does all the ID checks. If those people has just been in a r

It really depends on the size of the brakes. The real reason to fit bigger wheels is to clear larger brakes for better stopping power. Usually a higher performance trim level will have larger brakes to make up for the extra speed or weight.

Extended release. Those fucking things would keep me up for 3 days. If I take a the same dose of instant release, it'll be worn off at the end of the day and I'll sleep like a log. They say it wears off in 4 hours, but a single do

I hesitate to call turbo cars detuned just because you can turn up the boost or add timing. A lot of the "hidden power" in turbo cars is for emissions and reliability. Just because you can run 30psi doesn't mean the car is go

A therapist is not a phone. Everybody deserves the best care, not just what is better than we have now. That's a low bar.

Honda has a new electric mower coming out that can do like 12-15 acres on a charge. We're talking a commercial mower though. I haven't seen prices yet, but I'd guess you're in the $15k range.

It's been like 10 years since that settings panel came out with Windows 8. How many more years until it's done?

You can just use ChatGPT, etc already to generate the ffmpeg code. I just did this a few nights ago. There's no wrapper or any need to tune anything as far as I can tell.

I wear one when I ride my motorcycle. Keeps my neck warm, and keeps the cold air off my face. And helps keep the dust off my face when I'm off road. And adds an extra layer of protection. They are also nice when you borrow someone else

The only experimentation that you need to to is extend the damn yellow lights. Long enough duration of yellow lights reduces accidents to nearly zero. This has been proven over and over 1000x. The data has been out there for 40+ years. Ther

Holy fuck this drives me insane. My company makes us do the idiotic trainings, which tell you all the "red flags" to look for. Then the goddamn CEO sends out an empty email, with a .docx attachment, and the subject saying "ur

Yep, and people get really offended when you bring it up, because so many people are addicted. I see it a lot in threads discussing auto accidents. Nobody wants to admit that a scary amount of drivers are on the roads using their phone cons

Ironically, these are still the best games for a LAN party. I set up a fleet of old cheap computers running Linux, loaded with all these offline and now open-source games. We had a blast and ended up playing mostly Quake 3 until about 4-5am

My Ford from the year 2000 has a 5 digit keypad on the door. I can lock my keys in the car, leave it running, lock and unlock it without an extra key. I can grant anybody access by just giving them the code. I hated carrying the stupid bulk

Building a couple of small boats isn't the same as mass producing weapons. I can build cars in my garage, but I'd need a machine shop full of extremely heavy equipment and tons of metal stock to build guns.

There isn't. Most of those shills are liars just taking sponsor money. Are you implying that two wrongs make a right?

Not sure why this is downvoted. The whole premise of this robotaxi shit was started on the fact that your own, personal car, could be used as a taxi when you're not using it. And also, the same reason people don't use taxis exclus

Their exposure will still be much less than someone who gives them free reign and lets them sit in the livingroom staring at a phone. They won't be staring at the phone distracted while they're hanging out with the family.

Is this true, or are you just assuming here? There are a lot of mechanical things that work better when they are running and used consistency. Sometimes shutting them down and starting them back up, or throttling them actually causes more w
