Taking up space, without a reason.

Compatibility is the reason.

In Idiocracy the president hired the world’s smartest man to successfully solve an existential problem.

We’re in a significantly worse situation.

I don’t know if it’s unbelievable good or unbelievable bad from the title.

Native dark modes are better and have much less of a performance impact. It’s good as a stop gap though.

Just preheating the gas a bit, it’s for better thermodynamics.

While I'm sure there is a crazy markup, it's important to note the cost to produce - as in manufacture - does not include the cost of drug discovery, which is extremely expensive and involves a good amount of risk over a long period of time.

You can't just compare the cost of discovering a new drug vs. cost of producing a generic without any research like that.

Real chemists know you use a strong base rather than a strong acid to dissolve “organic material.”

Can we just STFU about this mediocre ad already? You’re giving it more airtime and more mental bandwidth. I didn’t think it was worth one day of headlines much less two or three.

This article blows. “Genetically modifying” cannabis for higher THC content? You mean breeding, like every other plant grown for consumption?

can we just please get some normal, boring, safe, efficient trains that actually function instead of this gizmo bullshit?

Knocked Strom Thurmond’s racist ass filibuster of the civil rights act out of the #1 slot.

I had my first ever comment, in decades of forums/reddit usage, get mod deleted because I was critical of China and the USSR. It was a fairly mild criticism. That action turned me off the whole instance.

I’d say that’s okay if only the company is credited by name, but the execs names were included. If they’re including names, include all the names. It’s not a long list from what I saw on Twitter.

USPS budget was in the black until they were forced to prefund benefits for 75 years - something nobody else is required to do.

The "financial difficulties" they face are completely imposed on them by the government.

This bill was passed with bipartisan support.

For over a decade, the United States Postal Service has been plagued with the onerous burden of prefunding its retiree health care benefits as mandated by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) of 2006. The mandate requires the Postal Service to prefund its retiree health care benefits 75 years in advance, paying for retirement health care for individuals who haven’t been born yet, let alone enter the workforce.

“Fully charged in 12 minutes” is meaningless without a capacity.

Isn’t aiming with both eyes open the way to do it? I learned to do that in the military to keep your situational awareness and never stopped. Also, it works really well with a holographic sight, like you’ve got the red dot / reticule floating on the target.

If you look at Olympic pistol shooting pics there’s a bunch with a hand in the pocket too.

Ban smartphones makes about as much sense as ban drugs or ban guns. It does nothing to address root causes and will do little to change anything for the better. Societal issues take more than “make X illegal”.

This reeks of the “noble savage” stereotype. I would be willing to bet 80% of biodiversity being in native lands has more to do with how brutally they’ve been repressed than how “in tune” with the environment they are.

They’re people too, and I see little reason to believe they wouldn’t fall to the same human flaws as the rest of us if given the chance.

I got a new job, fully remote, and we use Teams. Not gonna lie, I don’t get the hate. It seems as exactly adequate as WebEx or Zoom. None of them make me cum, none of them make me upset.

What is it about Teams that people hate so much? How does WebEx or Zoom do it any better?

Fully onboard with hating new Outlook though, fuck it sucks. Can’t even browse the global address list, it’s search only.

This is neat but also stupid. If a laser has enough power to fry a mosquito, it can also fry your retina.

Yes, I’m aware he added a safety system. That’s one layer of Swiss cheese in the safety system. It’ll work flawlessly until it doesn’t. How are potential reflections handled?
