So people can now hire a cop to actually prevent a crime, instead of waiting for it to happen so that they can report it afterwards? Crazy times.

The researchers found no link between aluminum in childhood vaccines and any of the 50 conditions.

That’s a lot of conditions. I would expect at least one to correlate just by pure chance.

Holy shit, that place has turned into a pure cult.

God hates people who abuse a security vulnerability disclosure to write a shitty clickbait article, and there’s an extra special place in hell for those who mention a name that’s cool to hate in the title to bring more clicks.

These are the founding principles of my new religion. We meet at fridays. Bring your own cookies…

If all this bullshit is what we need for services to provide a clear and standardized APIs, so be it.

The per viewer cost saving must be fractions of a penny.

For a national television, sure. For the hundreds of thousands of small influencers seeing this free advertisement on TV, it would be a major cost saving.

Imagine all the ladies from the tiktok mills not having to make funny faces on camera for hours at a time anymore.

Talk about the uncanny valley… They look like an instagram filter dialed up to 11.

For real. The new logo was the reason I switched back then. It was a tough experience, but worth it.

Hold your horses, not everyone around here is a human asshole specialist.

More taxes being available to the government means better public services.

You forgot the /s

More sponges to begin with.

People hear “technology” and imagine Facebook, when in fact technology means not dying after scratching your foot on a dirt road.

Nope, it’s a CityEL. Originally made in Denmark in 1987. The manufacturer went bankrupt several times. Each time someone else took over up until 2018. The design has never canged much. There has been something like 3 iterations of the top cover and 3 different motors throughout the years. Mine was made in 1995 and utilizes a motor originally intended for a forklift.

When I’m done with it, it will hopefully get a proper registration and will be able to recharge either by connecting directly to the DC output of a solar panel, as well as the standard grid outlet, and a type 2 charging station.

Yes, you can see the french doors in the background. The car itself is a little more than 1 meter wide, with rear-view mirrors sticking out even further. I got something like 5cm to spare on either side.

Another seemingly strange trend is some kids uploading screenshots of technical manual PDFs and reading them out loud.

On one hand, kudos for the ingenuity. I love to see young people being entrepreneurial. On the other hand, I’ve read the PDF an hour ago, now I’m looking for hands-on personal experience with the product, to solve a very specific probelm!

Can’t speak for the rural people of the US, but when you’re working on a bunch of projects, while the life keeps getting in your way, causing delays, stuff tends to… pile up. For example, I have a car in my living room at this very moment.

Did it seem like a good idea at the time? Sure. 24x7 access regardless of the current weather means more time to work on it.

Did I work on it? Nope.

Was there a wasp nest embedded inside, releasing a steady flow of young wasps inside the house? Absolutely!
