To be fair, if that’s the case, you would’ve been there in time to watch the 6:10 flight if you’d chose the 7:30 originally.

Thoroughly enjoyed that series. His new book, The Devils, was pretty fun, too.

Yeah, where exactly is their evidence that Netflix is aiming to put a stop to the practice of old movies being played in theaters?

I’m against the hyper consolidation/monopolistic practices that have been occurring at an increasing rate over the last couple of decades, but this article seems misguided.

All I ever think of when it comes to mitochondria is Parasite Eve and spontaneous combustion/mutants.

Well deserved win, IMO. The devs made an excellent passion project and it was one of the most unique games I’ve played in years, especially for RPGs.

And of course the medical treatment will be very expensive without having very expensive health insurance.

100% this. The guy was literally a consultant and a developer. It’d just be bad business for him to outright dismiss AI without having actual hands on experience with said product. Clients want that type of experience and knowledge when paying a business to give them advice and develop a product for them.

Turnitin is such garbage. I hated it in grad school in the mid 2010s, I can only imagine how fucking awful it is now.

It is indeed a great documentary. Ironically, McNamara happily agreed to be interviewed for it. I haven’t seen it in over 20 years, but I just remembered being absolutely repulsed at how completely unfeeling the dude was about everything.

I don’t think greed is the only answer. There is a legitimate demand for food, and pests are constantly adapting to various pesticides. I think the answer is greed and some other nuance.

McNamara was truly one of the most cold-blooded sociopaths in US history.

As for the DMV thing: You sweet summer child.

Lol, dude, I’m in my early 40s. Go to the DMV and try bribing a government official and report back. Please. I beg of you.

Um, having direct access to pull my government photo ID is a huge deal. Lots of online services require photo ID or other more in-depth verification to pull loans and stuff. So yes, this new vector IS a serious concern.

And paying someone $50 at any DMV? C’mon, man, that sounds like some unfounded bullshit. Hardly anyone is going to risk a cushy government job with solid benefits and great hours for fucking $50, let alone the potential risk of going to jail.

Yeah, people already browse porn with zero privacy precautions, so linking their fetishes to them would be trivial. The main concern is having yet another privacy vulnerability vector for identity theft.

And I would wager those items they’ve eaten the cost on, is what they’re seeking compensation on.

Wording it that way does really put it in perspective. Absolutely insane estimates for what they “need” to continue operating for the next ~4 years.

Jfc, he spent $20 million of taxpayer dollars to defend himself in court? Why the fuck do politicians get to use public funds to legally defend themselves?

Oh 100%, completely agree with you there.

To be fair, ingredients have continued to climb in price, especially beef. The fast food model was always unsustainable without sacrificing quality even further and raising prices.

More context needed. Sometimes my kids are savages, so yelling does occur on occasion. They’re usually pretty great, though.

Edit: yikes, people took my comment way too seriously. I don’t literally think my kids are savages, jfc. No shit, you shouldn’t yell at your kids. I typically don’t. But, I am not perfect, and neither is literally every single parent. We’re humans and there are days where we have shorter breaking points and our feelings get the best of us, especially when your kids are being super energetic, chaotic, and not listening to anyone. The important thing isn’t NOT yelling 100% of the time, it’s apologizing and explaining what happened to them afterwards when it does get the better of you.
