To be fair, the context here has nothing to do with the movie, just the spelling being done for funsies. But it’s still a fun watch.

May I recommend the movie Idiocracy to you? You will be one of today’s lucky 10,000

Through the WiFi-equipped EVSE. Or heck, give the car WiFi. Pretty much everyone has WiFi these days, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

My 2012 Pathfinder was the last year of that generation and had navigation designed before UX was really emphasized. It mainly relies on physical buttons and it’s overall terrible. Part of it involves an iPod-like scroll wheel, which is actually kinda nice to control zoom but that display is another kind of terrible.

“was” getting. Both can be true if LTE went downhill after the 5G deployment.

What? Every smartphone I can remember owning has gotten a GPS signal if I hold it up to the window. Plenty of planes have GPS on board too. If there is a speed lockout, a 737 isn’t enough to break that threshold.

I wouldn’t classify clickbait as deception so much as a certain intentional vagueness that requires clicking to get what could have been in the title from the beginning.

Also, every damn thumbnail on YouTube seems to look like, well, that. Pointing to a random thing (hard to tell what it is from the thumbnail alone), a vague title with a vague emotion, and a person with a weird expression for some reason.

If that’s the approach they took, and especially if it made it into a source code repository, I’d probably have fired them a long time ago!

One thing I saw after the GameStop thing happened that gave me a bit of perspective: when you buy and sell stock, your risk in the worst case scenario is that a company goes down to zero and you lose everything you put into it. That “everything you put into it” is the limit of your losses. When shorting, there is no practical limit to your losses because there is no upper practical limit to the share value.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m in the fuck Spez camp as well (hence me being here). But there is virtually unlimited potential risk to being wrong about this, so keep that in mind.

Credit cards, but not credit. Home, auto, business, and other loans have existed long before that.

It is! So many of these projects have grand plans and… Lackluster results. But this has gone so well! Definitely some trial and error and frustrations with some brittle subpar filament I got on Amazon… But Inland seems to work well! Even my wife (who enjoys crafting but isn’t really nerdy) is intrigued by this. I’ve already made her a couple boxes to store tea bag packets and may have to try that octopus… They actually had a really big one at Micro Center next to the printers as well so I can imagine it!

Just thought to follow up. Turns out Micro Center has a coupon for a $100 Ender 3 v2 for new customers (or old customers whose friend let them use her phone number 😜 ). So anyway I have a new hobby now and even the wife is intrigued

I miss the days when people used punctuation

I hear the same argument about EVs, where many charge to 80%. Sometimes you need that extra juice, and by all means use it. Other times you’re only going to the grocery store, or sitting at your desk all day, and you can stay plugged in and you don’t really need that 20%. It’s no real skin off your nose either way.

Then, years from now when you need as much energy as your battery can give, you haven’t lost it to degradation and you really haven’t lost much along the way.

I love the “to be determined” if there is anything on board that can cause a health hazard (they did quarantine astronauts when they first came back from the moon)

The opposite of arresting someone is to release them, and police can do it.

Charging someone with a crime is a separate process done by the prosecutor’s office. They can also drop charges.

Although “so much” would probably be a better fit anyway

HIPAA does have some exceptions to allow giving relevant information for crimes that occurred on their premises, but I’m not sure there’s anything that could be applicable here.

I accidentally deleted that voice mail from the public benefits department a couple days ago and they haven’t called back yet ☹️
