I’m totally for this and I bet it would work, too. We’ve seen the level of ignorance that went into how people chose to vote. If OnionWars puts up those kinds of stories, along with the occasional article declaring Jones actually still owns InfoWarts and any news stating otherwise is fake, they could ease these nutjobs back to sanity.

Fi makes it pretty clear that use outside the US is meant to be temporary (unless you’re on military duty overseas). The person you replied to got a really long run and honestly has no cause for complaint.

I’d love to see a comeback of vehicles like 1980s Toyota and Mazda pickups. Just a bit taller than sedans, good sized bed. I never understood the popularity of trucks that almost need a mini ladder to get into when they’re being used strictly in an urban or suburban setting.

Question: if you skipped signing in to Microsoft when you set up Windows, does this f’upgrade still happen?

Hertz is also selling a lot of its rental Teslas, which is probably cutting into the new car sales.

It’s far too vague to be reliable. You notice how easily the facial construction became termed a “photo” as in “We have a photo of the suspect.” DNA is not going to have info on hair length, facial hair, if the suspect dyed their hair, or weight.

Some guy in the UK was allegedly convinced by his chatbot girlfriend to assassinate Queen Elizabeth. He just got sentenced a few months ago. Of course he’s been determined to be psychotic, but I could imagine people who would qualify as sane getting too deep and reading too much into what an AI is saying.

I really prefer self-checkout too. There was an initial year or two when the machines were kinda buggy and did that “unexpected item in bagging area” a lot, but you work around it: just never put your shopping bag on the scale. I scan fast and efficiently, and start bagging my stuff while the payment card is doing its thing. And when I bag my own stuff I can be sure the bread is going to be on top.

The only things I run into trouble with these days: 1. when the backend database doesn’t have the right info, like some produce type is entirely missing, or the only option is for organic(=more $ and you know darn well you’re not going to select that one). 2. Some stores don’t use the barcode on the fruit labels, and you scan the label by accident or out of habit because the other store does use those barcodes. Both situations need a clerk to clear them, and that’s 90% of the delay.

I wish I knew why Target is limiting to 10 items. It’s pretty annoying. I suspect that theft is what’s driving retailers away from it, rather than customers hating it.

I think Prime is up to $140 a year now. They used to promise 2 day delivery, but that is now 2 day shipping, and delays prior to shipment aren’t counted. We are not renewing when it comes up later this month. It’s no longer worth it.

Yelp has made this wall of shame incredibly hard to browse. It’s not sorted in any clear way, and there’s no way to sort or filter it. You have to keep clicking “load more” to get 15 at a time. They really do not want to help you find which businesses to avoid in your area.

It’s not about the voting method. These people want to invalidate votes they don’t like. Arizona Republicans went on a wild goose chase of looking for bamboo fibers in printed ballots which would “prove” they were printed in China.

I got all excited when the cost of hard drives got down to $10/MB.
