  • By that time, all the games you bought now will be public domain.

  • Humans will pet anything
  • I like to think something random and really specific like this might be the Great Filter.

  • McCafé
  • I expected this comment to be from KenM

  • Everything old is new again.
  • And also super expensive. I've had times where it was half the price to rent a car for the day than to get one taxi from the airport.

  • Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died
  • There are manual releases on each door inside, but I'm surprised they don't have them outside as well.

    Reading more about it, I find that many only have manual releases on the front doors until recently and they have a connection point you're meant to jump with power to unlock and open from the outside. I didn't think anyone would be okay waiting for a jump to get their baby out, but then these people waited for firemen to break their window, so...

  • Heatwave is no joke...
  • Last I ran the numbers, industry and agriculture used 98% of the water. This being in CA.

  • PSI
  • You'd have to know a lot about how that PSI was measured and how their jaw is sized for that to be in any way useful.

  • PSI
  • I've experienced the same and always thought PSI is a pretty absurd way to gauge puncture damage like this.

  • YouTube looks to be testing server-side ad injection to counter ad blockers
  • Maybe not skip them, but instead play something else over top of them like another video you like, a music segment, or cat videos.

  • Rabbi coming thru with the language of fellow nerds to put things into context...
  • The problem is it can be just as easily interpreted either way. It should seem to most of us to say, 'destroying homes creates more martyrs,' but I'm sure half the people will interpret it as, 'unprovoked attack deserves indiscriminate retaliation.' In that, it does a surprisingly good job of encapsulating how complicated the whole thing is...

  • You should lie out here and take a nap
  • Ah yes, of all the species we've eradicated, the one that makes up the least biomass would surely be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.

  • You should lie out here and take a nap
  • They're meant to help keep the politician population in check.

  • Placeboz
  • IIRC, studies have also shown that the cost of the placebo had a direct correlation to the efficacy. Ah yes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4345649/

    Conclusion:

    Expensive placebo significantly improved motor function and decreased brain activation in a direction and magnitude comparable to, albeit less than, levodopa. Perceptions of cost are capable of altering the placebo response in clinical studies.

  • Quiet Nourishing
  • I've never heard that term used before and now that I've looked it up, I feel dirty. What idiots really thought it necessary to come up with a derogatory label for "doing your job"?

  • American Airlines backtracks after lawyers blame girl, 9, for not seeing hidden camera in bathroom
  • It sounds like it's their insurance company that is handling the thing and their first action was to fight instead of settle. If AA really wanted to send the right message to the public with this announced backtracking, they'd have announced that they'd just dropped their previous insurance company in favor of one that's not completely insane.

  • North Texas man sues Cinemark claiming 24-ounce beer cups can't hold 24 ounces
  • Some US states have some sort of department of weights and measures. I've contacted mine before about such issues and they take them very seriously, sending out an inspection team to test the claim. What they can do to enforce things depends on the state, though.

  • Youtube is now unusable without a frontend
  • They're so brave.
