    Wild. How soon until the standard housing lease boilerplate contains clauses like “you may not transmit any electromagnetic radiation at all under any circumstances whatsoever” as …

    Except here the grocery store pricing is “name your price” and folks are free to pick the price that suits the level of service they desire/receive. It’s a leaver we have, and it’s…

    Personally I love tipping. I’ll tip even for ridiculous things like buying a bag of coffee bean. Guy seemed nice and smiled and tried to answer a question I had - sure have an extr…

    It’s all as compared to the week prior, so the take away would be that folks from NI are slightly more likely to be offline on election day after 4pm than folks from other areas, w…

    Scott Aaronson’s take on this is certainly worth a read for anyone interested in consciousness , quantum mechanics, comparability theory, etc: https://arxiv.org/abs/1306.0159

    By far the worst offenders when it comes to neighborhood car sound are EV’s. They have decided across the board to blast the most bone chilling drone imaginable every time they are…

    Awful summary. There is very clearly a LV logo right in the middle of the wallet. LV is famous for their leather being absolutely covered with their logo, it’d be rather difficult …

    The funny thing is I’m almost certain everyone here has been exposed to the term “jerk”, in the exact technical meaning, but didn’t make the relation that the colloquial meaning an…

    Indeed. One should always disable extension auto updating. Besides that, there’s not really any less security than NPM packages. It’s the open secret of the whole industry that we …
