Oh, I know, and I know it was an absolute dumb thing to even think would be in the realm of possibility, but I was just trying to find something, anything to grab on to and help keep my hope on the ventilator.
The best I’m hoping for now is that trump will do something good on accident, like how he legalized thc in 2018. Sure, he did it in the stupidest way possible, but it’s something.
Agreed.
I hate trump and Musk and I morn the world we could have if it weren’t for people like them. However… after the election the only bit of hope that I - and which I knew would never happen - was that maybe they would use their authoritarianism to make the very hard decisions that could lead to a better society, such as phasing out human operated vehicles on public roads in favor of interconnected, self-driving vehicles. We have the technology to do so many amazing things… there just isn’t enough profit to bribe the politicians, pay the executives and build it to make it worth while.
My state is single consent and I was recording a call with att once and the rep straight up tried to gaslight me. When I told her that I was recording this, so I can play back exactly what she said, she told me that she’s in California and didn’t give consent. I laughed and told her that since I’m not sitting in California I don’t really care about their laws at the moment.
I’ve been vaping type 2 cannabis for several years with a dry herb vaporizer. It’s great, I have these small cartridges that I fill with herb and that’s good for me for a session. It’s a relatively low THC hit but it’s perfect for me.
A few months ago I went to a dispensary in a neighboring state and picked up a disposable THC vape pen. It is really cool and convenient, but it can fuck. you. up. With the dry herb you’ve gotta pull on it very hard, especially the first hit… and that’s how I hit the disposable the first time. Ruined my night.
I’d rather just have a thicker phone, but a lot of people wouldn’t
I think this is a case where the corporations were telling people what they wanted rather than people really asking for thinner phones. Same thing with bezels, I don’t know anyone who asked for the screen to go all the way to the edge (or worse, curve around onto the sides). Apple and Samsung said ‘this is what people want’ when in fact it was what their marketing department wanted because they wouldn’t be able to sell the iGalaxy N+1 if it was slightly thicker or heavier than the iGalaxy N.
It sounds like transferring an owned print book to digital and using it to train AI was deemed permissable. But downloading a book from the Internet and using it was training data is not allowed, even if you later purchase the pirated book. So, no one will be knocking down your door for scanning your books.
This does raise an interesting case where libraries could end up training and distributing public domain AI models.
The ‘Concert for George’, tribute to George Harrison is pretty great.
I mean, if we’re truly keeping count then I think we’re up to WW5 at this point.
Could this even be an option in late pregnancy, much less after someone has been born? There are some significant physical changes that could take place… and I can’t imagine what the mental changes would be like to go through.
Praetorian Guard Security Services
Of course that’s the name of their company.
A reporter who saw the vehicle said that it would look like a police vehicle from a distance and at night, but during the day it looked off, like you’d think ‘that might not be a real cop’.
And they’ve identified the suspect and he’s not a cop.
But if it was the other way around … Donald Trump would be on truth social calling for that person to be hung…
Not just that, but he would be demonizing the whole Democrat party, saying how their dangerous rhetoric caused this and the party needs to be outlawed and its leaders arrested.
I’m sure this will result in lower energy prices… right?
I know, I just found the wording of the headline to be funny.
Not to defend the guy, but isn’t that the whole point of a trial (to influence the jurors in the courtroom)?

I was curious if anyone had actually tested it or not, and I found the video above where they get right into it, without any intros or family history or begging to like & subscribe… just a short video where they test it and find that, YES!, the brake lights do come on when you use the steering wheel paddle brake or when you’re in L gear and take your foot off the accelerator.
I just got a Chevy Volt and when I let up off the accelerator it will start the regen and significantly decrease my speed. I assume that my brake lights are coming on because so far no one has rear-ended me or yelled at me for not having brake lights. I wish there was a good way to tell for sure though. I think it’s Hyundai that does not engage the brake lights for situations like this, as I’ve about hit one before.
Not just that he shouldn’t have died, but I can’t imagine how painful and fearful it would be to basically drown in air.
In Luigi I trust.
‘And Another Thing…’ was fun, and I feel it belongs on the shelf right next to the others. I hope you give it a shot, and also enjoy it.
I’m not saying to waste space… but when manufacturers start a pissing match among themselves and say that it’s because it’s what the customers want, we end up with shit. Why does anyone need a screen that curves around the edge of the phone? What purpose does this serve? Who actually asked for this?
I would give up some of my screen area to have forward facing speakers. I want a thicker phone that has better battery life. I also want to be able to swap out my battery. Oh, and I don’t want the entire thing encased in glass. If we’re so concerned about phone size then they should stop designing them so that a case is required.
