The US likes to use anything but actual units of measurement...

My pharmacy switched me to the generic and my insurance company required another pre-auth for it. 3 years of taking Vyvanse and suddenly they're like "No, we don't wanna pay for the cheaper stuff". Morons.

Shit man, I'd be happy with a 7k jackpot tbh. 70k would be hella worth it.

I love that most people don't realize how close Reston, VA (You know, where AWS 1 and 2 is located) is to DC.

RDR came out in 2010…?

We do, it's called whiskey.

That used to be the case, but Apple and Google worked together recently to make it work just like on iPhone - no need for a 3rd party app or anything to notify you if an Airtag is with you.

Asbestos is genuinely a wonderful material. It's heat-proof, it's a wonderful insulator, it's one of the best filters for gas masks, it's wonderful for use in brake pads and clutches, etc.

It's just a damn shame it causes cancer in living things.

Because most plant juice tastes like shit and has the wrong mouth-feel for most things we use cow milk for. Its not rocket surgery.

Switching from single use plastic to multi-use plastic has greatly increased carbon emissions of production. You also have to reuse the new plastic bags over 100 times for them to break even, emissions wise. (https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2020/04/30/plastic-paper-cotton-bags/)

I agree with you that canvas bags are better overall, but IMO we should move back to paper. It's WAY easier to reuse paper products, gardeners love the paper bags, and they break down quickly even if they are littered somewhere. There are some tradeoffs, such as transportation costs being higher because they are thicker than single use bags, but if you compare paper to multi-use bags, it's a fairly moot point.

Also, I'd still rather someone bag my shit for me. I've had so many things broken or otherwise damaged by the cashier haphazardly tossing my stuff into the cart just so I can walk 5 foot and take 10 minutes to pack my own stuff. Personal preference, but it should be given as an option imo.

Piss poor. 7 years of OS support, but I can almost guarantee you the hardware will die within 2 years.

Because he has shown himself to be an asshole. A direct quote he once said was "at some point, safety is just pure waste". https://www.insider.com/missing-titanic-sub-ceo-told-reporter-safety-pure-waste-2023-6

Remember when Opera had all of these things a literal decade+ ago? I remember.

Wow, two very small issues that Mozilla has done and quickly listened to user feedback and walked it back. Totally a legit reason to not use it.

I would say this is another brick in the argument for an open source car operating system

...Go analog with a carb, maybe? Only thing that can stop a carb from working is it being out of gas. Or changing altitude. Or bad fuel. Or it's too cold and/or hot. ... OK lots of things can stop carbs, but the government sure can't, at least.

In my case, it's less of a "value my time" and more "I'm just tired of being advertised to constantly and want a break"

I usually ask if they have an alternate messenger, like Telegram or even FB Messenger. Nearly everyone has something else y'all can start chatting on instead of SMS.

Epub doesn't natively have user tracking and DRM either. Mobi files are just ancient and there are better alternatives for them. Like bmp files vs jpg.

Funnily enough, removing your cat. converter is illegal, but getting caught without one isn't. Unless the Fed watches you remove it, they won't fine you.

Totally agree, though. Fuck coal rollers.

My local school system pays very well to be a bus driver. The issue here isnt pay, it’s the weird split-up day and the fact that kids, by and large, are assholes. No one wants to deal with that, even for a good livable wage.
