I recently bought an e-bike for running errands and so on (I do not own a car). I got it put together, hefted it outside (it weighs rather more than I expected), fired it up and ro…

There needs to be some sort of safeguard to prevent people from abusing this and running queries to do something an owner objects to. I'd feel horrible if I discovered that someone…

I quit reading at homeopathic medicine.

I had that one time. I was kind of ill at the time and it lasted about an hour. That is some freaky shit if you don't know what is going on. My continuing thought was "Is this goin…

Good work! Gimmer two, chief! Two black holes at once?!?!?? Yeah, I'm crazy like that.

> It doesn’t sound right to me, I mean a culture can’t be so totally obsessed with the self. One of our (the US) early political mottoes is "Don't Tread On Me" and it has a flag. A…

I wish that e-bike ads had the classification. The bike classes are well-defined AFAIK - it's the class legality that's regional, if any. Right now, they're actively helping riders…

So, the actual Sir Michael Caine has not given approval for the use of his voice? Seeing as how he's not dead yet, don't you think that it might be a good idea to ask if that is an…

Then maybe we shouldn't be applying AI to jobs where forgiveness and forgetfulness are useful. We keep trying to completely replace humans in all situations and this is not helpful…

Why is your data stored on their server where they have access to it at any time for any purpose they choose? For that, they should be paying you, no the other way around.

"Voluntary collaboration between government and the private sector to harden systems and accomplish the first two" Or, bribe the current administration to … enrich the current admi…

I kind of wish there was a way to flip the script on the companies that gave up on humans and tried to switch to AI. Make them suffer for their idiocy in the same way that workers …

At some point, it's just keeping score. Elon Musk doesn't need to be a trillionaire, he wants to be one. None of the world's billionaires need to be that rich, they are just compet…

> Let the chips fall where they may, should the USA lose after this, at least they got to make their best attempt at it. Well, that, and a President who interferes where he has no …

I hope they got themselves a nice pay raise in the process. Ford will can them again as soon as it can.

I'm always a bit disappointed when something only works in Chrome. It feels like developers don't give a damn about any other browser.

Their PR machine is amazing in how it's conflated criticism of the Israeli government with anti-Semitism, in a country where religion and state are supposed to be separate (not tha…

Paolo from Tokyo ( https://www.youtube.com/@PaolofromTOKYO ) has a ton of videos about various Japanese businesses, usually focused around the job of one person.

A lot of Texans do. We didn't elect those Texans and if the current legislature has their way, we never will. The Legislature and Governor, et all, are too busy trying to implement…

Randy Feltface (Australian puppet comedian) was absolutely blown away by HEB when he came to Texas. Apparently, they have nothing like that in Australia. Two constants in Texas: HE…

I would rate their BBQ equal to anything else you'll find in Austin, except maybe Franklin BBQ, which I don't have the patience for, so I haven't tried it nor will I bother.

I notice it says "Try for free" but nowhere accessible is it mentioned what it costs. That smells suspicious.
