They can make safety, fuel efficiency, usability, and comfort improvements AND enshittify things too! These are complicated machines.

Semaglutides and other weight loss drugs will hopefully make this treatment less needed in the future. I hope this somehow gets funding, testing, and approval before then to help all the folks with existing damage.

I don't know if this is the right solution, but a big reason I stopped bringing my family on city buses was because of belligerant personalities making things stressful/scary as fuck on 3 out of my 4 last rides (and less frequently but still really dangerous experiences before that) The frequency was just getting too high and I hit my limit.

Hopefully I just had really shit luck, but if it can happen to me, it can happen to others, and I really want public transit to work.

But all it takes is a system that can't prevent a few rotten apples from spoiling it for everyone else.

Buying a Framework laptop always felt ideological, not value-based. Like a statement that you want to support Linux-first hardware. Hard to compete without economy of scale, of course, but that wasn't their main goal.

That picture's probably old enough to drive.

My area needs this sooooo bad. We have one of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country. Unfortunately, Alpha-gal disease is now also in this area, so even with this vaccine, every family walk even near the woods or fields still has to be followed with full body and hair inspections. Every time. So many ticks... Ugh.

Infrastructure is communist. We each need to just have SUVs large enough to roll over the rivers and forests so we can stop building all those commie roads.

20 minute drive out to the honey farmer, 10 minutes to my asparagus guy, 10 minutes to the butcher for some chicken, hmmm if only there were some sort of larger... super large market so that I don't spend so much of my life driving around...

Just another celebrity talking about stuff they don't really know that much about. Jimmy's witty and all, but his "physics is real and everything else is just stamp collecting"... sigh.

Nobody was holding a ~90lb war bow at full draw waiting to hear "Loose". Not possible.

You misspelled "capitalism"

"intelligence is a nuanced topic" Understatement champion. Applying your examples "in any form" still doesn't really work since those examples are built on communicating the steps as well as the result. If an animal can intuit precision without showing the work, do we still give credit for intelligence? Jumping spiders, for example, have an extremely developed intuition for parabolic trajectories, but I'd bet real money there's no neural structure in their brains that looks like y^2 = 4ax.

Agree with this for most folks (using on hands or feet) but if you gotta cover more surface area it can get gone. My 8yo kid had a rash on his thighs and back and we used up a tub pretty quick.

And the fact that 40% of all taxes represents less than 20% of their income should tell you how much money they're really holding onto.

As if scientists choose which studies get mis-quoted and sensationalized by media.

Shhhh... shortened lifespan is actually a benefit to the rest of us. You want guys like this voting in their 70s and 80s?

I hope this isn't a photo from mode pandemic... I mean fuck cars and all that, but drive thru was clutch for a bit there.

Interesting. Culturally, France seems like the most child-hostile country in western Europe. I wonder if this is them trying to make children more acceptable in public. Good luck France! You'll have to get over yourself first. Can't take yourself too seriously when children are in the mix.

First time using AliExpress I got scammed. I got a refund, at least, but I haven't been back since.
