It would have only cost $22.40 if you picked it up yourself.

Sure, but they shouldn’t have to bear the burden of uprooting their lives yet again just because of intolerance.

Man, those poor kids. I can’t imagine the trauma both of them are feeling after something like that.

Have to be honest…

I thought you were going to fool us with the “with ending” link.

I’ve seen a number of companies where I live give holiday pay for employees working on Juneteenth

Veedem , 4 days ago

Reading the article, it seems like it may have been more of a case of poor judgement from management instead of intentional racism (maybe subconscious stereotyping, though). It’s a really stupid mistake. For any holiday, all you have to do is ask the team for input BEFORE making decisions and you can avoid most of this nonsense.

I’m surprised more brands aren’t simply defaulting to Threads. You still see links to their Xitter profile instead of Threads.

I prefer Mastodon, myself, but I get why major brands would prefer a centralized network.

It’s a decently fair complaint. Other food products have to use language to somewhat clearly differentiate between real and “flavored like” products.

That still makes it sound like there’s real honey in it. Should be “Honey Flavored Sauce” IMO

If that happened to one of my kids, I don’t know how I’d ever be able to put myself back together. That’s horrible.

Heard it on News Max. Must be true.

I get that the other things are important but

A) he can’t singularly change them B) he can certainly take an hour or two to do something that’s a presidential tradition and more lighthearted.

Thank you.

That Gizmodo article is HORRIBLY written up and there never actually mention the quote outside of the blurb beneath the headline so the lack of context had me questioning them. Pretty shitty reporting.

I mean is this stuff even really AI? It has no awareness of what it’s saying. It’s simply calculating the most probable next word in a typical sentence and spewing it out. I’m not sure this is the tech that will decide humanity is unnecessary.

It’s just rebranded machine learning, IMO.

I get your point of view, but athletes have a limited window to make as much money as possible (especially in a sport like golf where there are no guaranteed contracts). I’m sure the mother understands the decision as a long term one.

I’m assuming it’s with regards to the Play Test which is in very early stages and shouldn’t be judged as completed. Seems fair enough if it’s nowhere near complete

That one got me as soon as I zoomed in. It’s perfect. No notes needed.

Read this a week or so ago and it’s a fantastic summarization of the core problem. I almost never use Google search anymore. I go between DuckDuckGo and Perplexity.

That’s odd. Were you using Pro? I find pro to be less reliable, oddly enough. I always check the citations which is why I like their approach.

Never, and I repeat NEVER, buy directly from most manufacturers. For whatever reason, their customer service on the consumer purchase side always seems to suck. Buy from authorized resellers who care more about the relationship with their customers.

I have experience on the reseller side of the electronics business. I will tell you that most big resellers (Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc) will do more in situations like this than the actual companies themselves. I’ve seen it a lot. Sure, it’s anecdotal evidence, but I’ve also read a ton of complaints over the years on Reddit of similar situations.

These first party manufacturers are manufacturers first and retail shops second (or third) so they put less effort on that side.

We called this the “swoop and poop” in a previous job of mine. Definitely not something encouraged or enjoyed.

Everyone’s experience and usage is different, but I have a base M2 MacBook Air with 8gb of RAM and besides web browsing, streaming/air playing some videos, and typing some documents, I don’t do much else. I never feel the need for more RAM.

I’d be more annoyed that this person couldn’t even bother me with a more up to date conspiracy.

“A bit, but I can text. What’s up?”

I’ve learned to reply like that every time and it works. It convinces them to text me and if I see it’s important, I say something like “give me a few minutes and I’ll call”.

The theory is that if they were able to be sold here at a reasonable price while meeting our much stricter safety standards, it would create competition and this apply downward pressure on prices.

Lived in NYC my whole life. Moved to Staten Island and, unknowingly, moved under a military flight path. First time they flew a trio of Ospreys low over my neighborhood and my house was shaking, there was a level of “not again” panic that you just can’t explain fully.

You can also use it to start a load while you’re at work when you didn’t want your clothes sitting after washing all day. True, there’s old school delay functions but this gives a little more control.

Not saying it’s worth it, but a feature I haven’t seen anyone else mention.

Wayfair won’t be able to help you. You have to go through Citi if you don’t have an identity service. It’s wild that someone from Wayfair asked for your social.

I’m all for people using Firefox instead of Chrome, but RAM being used up shouldn’t be a complaint unless something else needs that RAM. If it’s there, it should be considered usable.

He sold about 500,000 shares. He owned, apparently, 3.3% of the 17.06 million total shares of the company, meaning he had a little over 562,000 shares. He sold almost all of his shares. That doesn’t exactly exude confidence in future growth, IMO.

That was a way my gripping read than I expected. It really is like straight out of a crime novel.

Libertarians will tell you that even this isn’t cause for government regulation and that the market will weed out the bad businesses by not buying their product.

That’s because the market is babies and they’d all be dead, Jim!

I think I heard on the news that, for today’s incident, a harbor pilot was in control of the ship at the time of the accident.

Details are starting to suggest the ship lost power, and thus control, before hitting the bridge.

This is entirely true.

My point is that it didn’t collapse it pieces. It just fell straight down with seemingly no structural resistance.
