Because AI still sucks. It’s incredibly unuseful for day to day operations, and only useful in very specific scenarios that I, personally, only need access to it like 2-3 times a year. It’s not worth having it on my personal devices when I can just go to chatgpt website or something when I want to give it a shot.

“could have happened to anyone”

Uh, sure, maybe anyone who wasn’t 16 years old. I completely blame the company for allowing a 16 year old to operate dangerous equipment, let alone without direct supervision.

If his two coworkers were only alerted to his injury after the kid phoned his boss, got disconnected, texted him a picture, then the boss phones the coworkers, they were absolutely not close enough to be supervising that kid even with “hearing protection”. That would be like 2-3 minutes at least for that process but likely took longer.

You’re telling me there were no better jobs the kid could have been doing while the coworkers operated the mulching machine?

I get as many coffee breaks in the office as I want but it’s not like I get up, grab a cup and then play on my phone while I drink my coffee for 15 minutes. I get up, grab a cup, maybe say hi to someone as it brews an instant cup, then go back to my desk and drink while I am working. But no one is shadowing down my neck saying I can’t leave my desk until 10:15 and I need to be back by 10:30 or my pay is docked. Freedom and responsibility rather than strict time management and punishment.

If they stop selling it, they stop buying it from suppliers and then the suppliers need to find a way to decrease their costs to make it so stores buy their products again. Otherwise they go out of business, so they will find a way.

What if all ads are 30seconds long, would it be impossible to lock skipping anywhere for the first 30seconds of every video?

Price cap increases perhaps. No more than 5% increase from the price the product was on January 01 that year.

I’m curious who America will bend over backwards for in a war between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Eh, maybe it’s different for people that only have to fill their tank every 3-4 weeks. I need to refill at least once per week so it’s rare I save any significant amount of money filling up 2 days before I regularly would.

I’m also not sure why everyone would have the same price in mind to start immediately filling their tank at the “cheap” price to trigger a 12% increase amongst 8 different chains of gas stations all at the same time.

Many would be waiting for a few cents more or already pulled the trigger a few cents before.

I just don’t think gasoline follows most free market supply/demand rules as much as most things.

Personally I don’t believe that’s the case. Most people fill up when they need to fill up not because it reached a magic price. It’s not like most people have a choice and can say they aren’t going to drive to work this week because gas needs to drop a few more cents before they go fill up.

It was the cheapest I had seen since 2021 last week for like 36 hours and then overnight jumped up 12%.

It always goes down slowly over a three week period and then hits a low for 1 day and then goes up 10% or more overnight.

Also ad lock blocks ads on all of the platforms you use. YouTube plus just removed them from YouTube… I ain’t paying 20 different places for ad free use when they charge like $15+ each, maybe if it were $1 each for nah they are all greedy.

My back got so messed up after I turned 30.

But then I just bought a new bed and mattress and I’m good as new 😂 apparently my box spring and bed rails were just broken.

If it’s something like bacon / beef grease just let it congeal in the pan then scrape it out into the garbage can.

Ya CO2 is basically the feeling of normal suffocation. Might as well hold a plastic bag over their head.

Ya I walk my dog past a church and every Sunday when I see the crowd of people there I can’t help but view them as a group of weird cultists, even though it’s pretty vanilla Christianity.

You would have to guarantee those phones would eventually end up in the right person’s hands.

Otherwise if you sabotage 100 phones and only 30 go to your targets, even if you only detonate those 30 there are now 70 phones out there randomly floating around with enough explosives to kill some random person.

I imagine they are probably noisy?

Was there a reason it had to be in Manhattan and not like, fuckin Idaho or something?

I work in mosquito control, it’s been generally fairly well known as far as I know. Light traps use black light bulbs as one of the methods to attract mosquitos because the lack of visible light cuts down on the number of bycatch like moths but the bulb still generates heat to attract the mosquitos, usually paired with dry ice for CO2.
