I remember seeing the original. I didn't know this guy had been making more of these for the last 10 years!

Is that supposed to be an insult? Golbat I would understand. You gotta be a decent person to have a Crobat.

The brain is constantly looking for patterns in your life. It's trying to relate events and your senses to what you normally do. It does this because it's looking to save the body energy by automating responses to triggers. (Less energy for thinking about what to do means more energy for other things.)

What this means is there are actions you take without even thinking about it. For example: when you get into your car, you may unconsciously put on your seatbelt.

The idea is that this can be applied to people because the brain finds and remembers a pattern. Replace the bell and the served food with another cue and event pair.

It's cherry flavored!

ISB is...a poor choice of acronym.

Never thought about aura farming as a date activity.

The original post may not be true, but to OP, it has truthiness.

It's not really a win though. It just means Linux will get blocked by platforms.

Yeah, even if they exempt it, commercial platforms may push for using a machine that can verify age, reducing Linux machines to hobbyist only activities.

Reading the article, it seems like this happens a lot with those that never learned how to swim. If you don't, look for classes at a local community center.

Yeah I need to chi-IS THAT A BRADFORD PEAR TREE??!

So I did a quick look at the gas tax -- it's $0.184/gallon (a bit more for diesel).

The math says a driver would need to buy around 707 gallons of gas to pay the federal government$130. If we assume you're filing 15 gallons of gas each time, this would mean you would need to fill up the car about 47 times. Basically, you need to fill up on an almost weekly basis.

So yeah if you own an EV and work from home or are retired, this is definitely unfair. A tiered system would make more sense (e.g., annual miles driven), but you would need some evidence to prove what you owed.

This was a wild thing to see at my local Costco.

Most revenue for federally funded road repairs is collected through diesel and gasoline taxes, which EVs do not pay.

TIL gas is taxed at both the state and federal level. It makes sense for EVs I suppose, but I'm not sure a flat fee is the best approach. The article seems to indicate there were a lot of higher options being thrown around. I wonder how many gallons of gas would $130 equate to.

A freshly shaved face + clean sheets is such a great experience.

They should turn their watch history off

Wholesome video. Insane that this franchise can cover 3 generations now!
