It’s from the OCEAN model of personality, which is currently the most widely accepted model. It’s received less criticism than myers-briggs and astrology.
Should’ve gotten better genes from your parents then. Too bad you turned out to be the fastest swimmer. We really missed out on the next Einstein and got… you 🤢
Indeed. I am European and made my comment from a European perspective. I forget that the Americans stopped thinking long ago, am I right, fellow European boomers?
Here’s a thought: do electric cars count as automatic or the most manual cars possible? On the one hand, there’s no clutch or stick shift, but on the other hand, if you want to change gears, you have to disassemble the transmission and change out the gears.
Paddle shifters behind the Genesis GV60’s steering wheel – previously used only for controlling the electric motors’ regenerative braking – allow drivers to change imaginery ‘gears’ (most electric motors have only one gear).
Each simulated gear change is accompanied by a small jolt in the power delivered by the electric motors, and a change in the computer-generated sound the car produces.
A kid in our building accidentally freaked out the old lady in the apartment upstairs by trying to quietly use his headphones and instead sending the sound to her TV speakers. Out of context the explosions sounded like construction demolition and she thought the building was coming down.
Yeah, I got blasted with next door’s music randomly the other day because my sound bar has bluetooth. I use the feature extremely rarely but it doesn’t matter if you’ve selected bluetooth with the remote or not, anybody can connect and switch it away from the wired connection and there’s absolutely no confirmation before it just takes over and floods your senses. God help you if the other person has their phone volume on full.
Too many devices are set to actively try to connect to anything in pairing mode because normal people can not be taught to press the right device in a list of devices or to press a button to accept…
I know. I don’t buy new BT often and don’t live close enough to anyone for this to be an issue, but I thought everything had a pairing button that you had to hold for a few seconds at the very least. Even the M3 noise damping headphone I use had a default password of 0000 that you can’t accidentally input. They really made everything for the lowest common denominator.
My rebuttal to this is (they usually include murder as the bad thing being done), “Are you telling me fear of hell is the only thing keeping you from murdering me right now? Says a lot more about your morals than mine.”
Maybe, just maybe, also because that may have been the way to get some impulsive but simple-minded people to not make a mess for those around them. Didn’t work with everyone, though. If it ever did, with anyone.
Also, it seems shockingly easy to get some people to commit evil acts as they think they are doing good… and that usually comes carrying a lot of religious ideology and/or methodology, curiously enough.
Yeah, it can be easily influenced. See Stanford prisoner experiment. Religion can be an influence too, but religios people can’t imagine a life without it.
Yea, I never understood those. What tf is a handling fee/ service charges (in restaurants), etc.? There must be SOME explanation for this, or at least SOME scenario where this is a good idea, right?
It’s now the “Pay us more if you want your delivery to survive.”
I was sending flowers to my aunt, and it had a big warning about how tipping goes to the delivery driver, and it could mean the difference between good service and great service.
These fucking flowers were $150, and 20% is $30.
I sucked it up and paid but I’m going to just hire a random person next time to pick flowers from a graveyard at these prices.
Striker was a lot of things to a lot of people. But, looking back, the number one thing I can say about him is this, and simply this: Striker was my friend.
Can confirm. I pedest, and it’s more useful for me to know how long it will take to get somewhere than how far away that somewhere is. One effects my time of departure, the other is just a fun fact.
Yeah so maybe both Neptune and Uranus look hazy and dull green in visible light. So what?! They’re both entire worlds, significantly larger and vastly different in climate and tilt and composition and weather phenomena than our own, and we’re lucky enough to have seen them up close with probes. They have layered structure that can be seen in other wavelengths (e.g. infrared) and so many mysteries we haven’t yet conceived. Plus a ton of moons each that are weird and fascinating in their own right. They’re not the least bit boring to a curious mind.
I just spotted my first in person yesterday and I agree completely. My kid said “It’s shiny” and I said “Yeah, because the alternative to that is to be covered in rust”.
The Rundown is a freaking solid action comedy! Stifler brings great comedic energy. Walken is an awesome antagonist. Rosario Dawson steals every scene she’s in. All around great time!
