Every third article is about AI lately. They must be written by AI.

Also I’m sure they will sell your data to whoever can pay for it.

Exactly. I like cars so it starts to suck keeping them for 10 years but otherwise I’d be in continual car payments.

Also taxes and insurance get cheaper as the car gets older too, so that helps.

I go for a walk outside and let my mind wander.

We could feasibly blink out of existence in one quantum fluctuation, so I just try to enjoy this life while I can.

I’m so often glad I’m not an early adopter.

I’d pay about $1 a month. That’s $1 more than they’re getting from me now.

Exactly. Driving… Driving…BEEP BOOP!..What was that?CRASH!!

Texas defendant challenging federal gun law at the Supreme Court says he doesn’t want firearms anymore (www.cnn.com)

Zackey Rahimi, the Texas criminal defendant challenging a federal gun law before the Supreme Court on Tuesday, said this summer that he no longer wanted to own firearms and expressed remorse for his actions that got him in trouble with the law....

Of course he will say all that while incarcerated and trying to get out on good behavior.

Yeah I won’t even claim the free Amazon Prime games that require linking to Epic. I don’t need Epic to know anything about me.

They ran Hilary Clinton against him, that was a lot of the problem. Just as unlikable and abrasive.

Why aren’t we by default removing everything from water that isn’t water or a short list of approved minerals?

It’s a bad trend. I suspect a lot of times when a business raises prices, it is a long overdue increase so that tends to make the increase more. If it’s a lot of work to raise prices they probably raise them a lot now so they won’t have to do it again in X months.

I have experience with small business, they don’t do much testing. They are often reluctant to raise prices but when they finally do it tends to be a big jump.

They are also actively shitty to their customers from everything I’ve seen.

I really wish YouTube would quit trying to make shorts happen.

I don’t mind videos that are exactly as long as they need to be, they can be 1 minute or 1 hour or whatever. But personally I don’t need skinny portrait mode and no seeking.

And all this regular effort in avoiding it probably just makes the son more motivated to find ways to avoid detection. Prepaid smartphone, that sort of thing.

They will probably be easily defeatable with the right strategies, but that doesn’t mean a lot of people won’t die.

I am in favor of replacing most world leaders with robots.

U.S. cities consider banning "right on red" laws amid rise in pedestrian deaths (www.cbsnews.com)

Sophee Langerman was on her way to a bicycle safety rally in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood in June when a car turning right rolled through a red light and slammed into her bike, which she was walking off the curb and into the crosswalk....

I think it’s a visibility thing too. Also many distracted drivers.

I wish ours was still open. It was one of those really old stores almost like the general store on O Brother Where Art Thou.

I don’t want Fop, dammit!

I can see the “phone falls into the toilet” as a big problem that people will have.

Every monster who participated in putting an 11 year old in police solitary confinement should not keep their job and should face lawsuits.

And they have competition too, makes PS and Switch look better.

When almost everything is more expensive (and often smaller portions) people can’t buy as much.

Not just groceries either; rent, vehicles, property taxes, insurance, fuel, everything.

Sorta, I have a 64GB third-generation iPod Touch full of music that I listen to while mowing. It still holds a charge for a couple hours at least, haven’t tested how long it can last.

Like most things agents do more than you think. Of course there are good ones and bad ones. Yes you can do much of the stuff yourself if you want to work it as a part-time job.

The rednecks if at least one of them knows about explosives.

Could go for the engine, barrel, or the tracks.

An EV would do well for me to commute to work. But I’m not interested in the hassle of road tripping with one, so I’d still need a good ICE vehicle for that. My garage isn’t big enough unless I replace my 1995 F-150.

dan1101 ,

That does sound cool, best of both worlds.

It was a 6 year old boy, also from the MSN article:

He revealed that Wen and his family were in high tension because of several incidents of home disturbances.

The family had allegedly experienced their house doors being “banged at midnight and evening.”

Zou said, “His three kids were terrified and worried that somebody tried to break their door and break in.” He also shared that just the night before the incident, two people had knocked on their door severally and ran away before he opened the door.

Certainly no excuse for pointing a gun but gives at least a little context to his paranoia.

I had a ~2008 Samsung plasma, it had all the ports and multiples of most. I finally got tired of waiting for it to die, it still had a great picture when I gave it away last year.

I assume this still won’t stop companies and state/local governments from paying.

Having it classified as a mental institution should give him some huge tax breaks and government funding as well. He has certainly proved he has mental illness.

There actually was a 2008 animated Dragonlance movie with a good voice cast. But I hear it was terrible and I haven’t forced myself to watch it.

YouTube Is Monetizing Human Suffering at an Open Air Drug Market (www.404media.co)

The Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia is one of the most brutally obvious signs of America’s public health crisis. The so-called “open air drug market” in the middle of the country’s sixth most populous city is where hundreds of people use drugs, some of whom are unhoused, usually without being arrested by the...

Or maybe rurals just like living in cleaner quieter more natural places.

Too many people, too much news, a society that is both more permissive and more polarized, more communication between fringe group members.

Spite can be a fantastic motivator. Then again it can lead to what happened to Twitter.

We lost our local pharmacy before Covid. Between CVS and Walgreens, Walgreens does a decent job. CVS always had like 6 employees running around in the pharmacy and yet they still took forever to do anything. It was almost impressive.
