There's so much silly about this, I'm struggling with where to start. >I really want everyone who travels to realize: no, it's not content producers who are ruining it. It's YOU. YOU are ruining these places. How do y

They are having their attention and habits hijacked via video from TikTok instead. I'd argue that's not better, at all.

This still happens. The toys are from Target and are <$30 in my circles and we usually try to make them legos or something that can be used again and not just thrown away, but there is rarely more thought goes into them than that. The gi

I'm not doubting the reasoning behind not wanting those category of toys, I'm asking if OP did the polite thing and, you know, told the potential gift givers how they felt about cheap toys before writing them off as "non-frie

Whoa, do these people know about and understand your stance here? If someone goes to the trouble to get you a toy at all, I would hope you'd give them the benefit of the doubt before scratching them off the friend list.

Can you explain this more? Is this a recent (~decade) thing? I remember my grandfather investing in companies with a solid dividend as much as share price growth; has something fundamentally changed?

Vegas loves these - the last time I stayed on the strip it was $40+/day "resort amenity" fee that they did a great job of hiding throughout the booking and checkin process.

So, if a nascent company chooses to go down this same path of generating (or maybe _seeding_) their logo design with AI, have they essentially given up any ability to protect that logo going forward?

I add Kefir to a lot of dishes (both cooked and uncooked) that call for some dairy component. I actually prefer it to milk in things like pancakes, even though cooking it must kill some/many/all of the probiotics. I was making my

They're literally the same - I see the same product sold by shady third parties being sold on both sites. At least with Walmart you can select "Available for pickup" and get products that Walmart themselves sell and stand beh

That started as a flash animation, right? So. many. wasted. hours. watching flash animations. It's amazing how quickly flash disappeared after the dominos were set in motion.

If it's not a meeting that you have any applicability to and someone asks for your input in the meeting, say so. "Sorry, I don't see myself using this product/service/team - not because it isn't good, it just i

My assumption is that if you're in the meeting, it has some adjacency to your work. This isn't about calling on the daydreaming kid in high school Spanish class who _has_ to be there to graduate. If you're in the meeting, it

Like the inner workings of the brain, the way the microbiome of our body impacts our life is poorly understood. There will definitely be a lot of FUD that will come from this, but the TLDR for many of these studies seems to be: eat better q

ATK is, as far as I am concerned, the gold standard for kitchen reviews.

>Which is perfectly rational. Why drive a car you don't want out of fear that gas prices may someday go up? You don't have to buy a fuel efficient car today for an eventuality that may never happen, but you definitely don&#x2

Yes - I'm certainly being pedantic. You're correct in that driving style can have a huge impact on fuel consumption. You don't have to hypermile it; just not playing speed racer between red lights, cruising at 70 instead of 8

We have a very short collective memory. While fuel prices have been quite low over the last ~3-5 years, most people forgot the period between 2008-2014 where fuel was (relatively) expensive and went on right back to buying fuel inefficient

As far as I can tell, you won't see "hybrid" on Audi's site because the "energy recuperation system" isn't a hybrid system at all -- it simply banks energy from the alternator and then reduces the load o

If OP has their cruise control set at 72MPH and is tailgating close enough that they benefit from the slipstream, I'm 1.)impressed at their precision driving 2.) terrified we may share the road some day. I don't doubt that we may

High gas prices will be used as a talking piece against the Democrats if they continue through the mid-term elections… not sure your point of view makes a lot of sense.

You got 37MPG in a (I guess they're technically "compact") SUV with a gasoline (petrol) engine? I'm just having a really hard time with that. That's in the same ballpark as what diesel wagons get (the TDI Sportwagen

While I agree that having a modicum of restraint about making claims of Mad Max being imminent is prudent, I also believe that this is coming to a head at least during our children's lifetime, if not ours. The earth isn't hosed to

I suspect the housing data would support this theory. While the 90's and early oughts marked an inflow of people and investment into the city cores, the last two/three years seems to have reversed that and sent people scurrying in

by zucked 4y ago
Yes, the housing is, by-and-large, a lot cheaper, but the cities are not super walkable (if that's important to you) and the weather is often the opposite of cold and wet - it's hot and muggy. I don't do well with humidity, s

It says that certain sites (cough:pinterest:cough) have totally poisoned the search results and that little has been done to rectify that.

Agreed. Between browser extensions and DNS-based products (PiHole) the number of websites that simply refuse to function is quite high. Deciphering which part of my environment is breaking the site is more time consuming than I wish.
