They're not cigarettes. Nobody is sitting down and smoking 40 joints a day. What serious dangers are there besides the fact that you might eat the entire bag of Doritos while watching Planet Earth?

Not everybody uses an iPhone. I figured out what StandBy mode is when reading the article, but I had never heard of it before that.

Buspirone (an anti-anxiety) gave me brain zaps within an hour of taking it. Didn't seem to help with the anxiety at all though...

The problem is that it seems like people who believe in the free market as the solution to everything are the same ones who work hard to monopolize and destroy it.

There's probably less carbon on the base models, than on the heavier high end models.

I'm not going to pay by card for a huge purchase, and have the card company take 3% off the top. That's just a dick move when you can just write a check that does the same thing.

The pro keys won't cover you if someone asks. You're not licensed for LTSC and you can't have it without an enterprise agreement. It's still piracy. you might as well have not even paid for the pro keys.

I am burnt out from work currently and am in the recovery process now. I told my work I was taking a leave of absence, and used my short term disability insurance to be able to afford the time off. If your company or state offers it, please

I find I get better delivery not being a Prime member. When I was using Prime, I would do their shipping, and the items would always be late. Now without it, I just choose the free shipping method, and things tend to show up a day early. Ma

It's still a pop up that comes up trying to get you to give them money. It's nice when one app asks you for a simple donation. But then when everybody starts doing this, you are constantly dismissing dialogs, and getting interrupt

Well you need something entertaining to do with it. Right now the use cases seem to be just looking at pictures and watching videos alone. Or extending your computer monitor. There isn't even that much 3D content. Nobody really seems t

USB-C is the best. When I had to trade my Intel MacBook pro back into IT for a new M1 with a MagSafe connector, I told them I wanted to keep the USB-C charger. I didn't want another damn charger to carry around with me. They thought it

Fuck. This is why making lists never works for me either. I always lose the damn list... Just make a notes.txt file on your computer. Now which directory did I keep that in? Also gotta keep it up on your screen all the time or you forget yo

Only one of my cars has a key fob, and I finally took that fob off my keychain once I realized that I can use the 5 digit keypad on the door to lock and unlock it. It's very freeing only having a few small keys in your pocket and not a

It's amazing really. It's his job to mitigate an attack like this. Especially on a platform the size of X. If he wasn't lying, then he let a DoS attack shut down his live stream, so he still fucked up.

I had a Pixel 4XL that could not do basic phon calls. 7/10 tries I would get no audio but the other person could always hear me. I wiped the phone and it magically started working, then about a week after that it was back to not workin

That's because it's just like IE was back in the day. No web dev is going to build a web app that doesn't work on it, no matter what a turd it is.

No, they actually don't know how to type in a link. Most people still don't know how URLs work. People still type in Facebook to the Google search box.

Well no kidding. But posting 3 links isn't really evidence that the "normies" of the world have any understanding of what is going on.

Maybe the best thing here is to not run software that you don't trust. Why would you run sketchy software on your computer in the first place? It's like having a bully picking on you, and then instead of getting help or fighting b

You used to be able to get a bag full of tacos for less than $10. Now a standard meal there is like $15 which is like 2 tacos and a shitty burrito. And when they remove all their 'expensive' labor costs and switch to this automate

xmms was my go to back in the day for Linux. Hard to beat the small, unobtrusive WinAmp interface and skin support. Now I use Audacious as it still supports WinAmp skins and interface. It's really hard to beat.

You split the money up among the users, everybody gets a $1.50 check in the mail that costs $0.50 to mail out. Most of the checks will get tossed in the trash. Might as well just burn the money.

This reminds me of another human behavior I see when driving. Some guy goes speeding down the freeway, weaving through traffic. Easily a reckless driving ticket, possibly jail time or car impounded. But they won't dare enter the carpoo

Ever go to a go kart track and notice that some karts are faster than others? They're all identical as far as the eye can see, but in reality tons of subtle differences pop up. You can have spec bikes, but there no way they'll all
