Louisville checking in, spent a lot of time in Georgetown and can confirm this is likely just more work on the Camry plant. Toyota has been good to the area. Off topic, but is ther…

I swapped to https://www.thelightphone.com/ as my phone. According to my iPhone, my daily usage hovered around 7 hours. It's relatively expensive and a little janky but it's insane…

The badness is up for debate (thankfully for my sake) but the addiction is not

You don't need to wonder. Look to Japan for the broad strokes: property in cities will still have value while rural areas fall into decay. In more words: young people will crowd in…

The lawnmower has arrived, adjust behavior accordingly. You can't reason with it, it only knows: "cut grass"!

+1, yup With measured change in C02 the past 60 years[0], how can we expect the system to behave the same? In my lifetime I will breathe air with C02 levels of 480ppm. Throw in the…

I've recently switched to a dumb phone. Why keep an internet browsing device in my pocket if the internet's largest players are designing services that will turn a lot of its outpu…

With respect to communication innovation, I think AI Hitler put it best: " we can't rewind we've gone too far. " Here's a link to the relevant historical record: https://www.youtub…

Can't outrun gross overeating, can't tax your way out of gross over spending.

I'm not a member of your imagined urban-illuminati (I live in suburban ky) and I think you're off base here. The majority of cars on our roads are huge and it's annoying. Forget em…

Sounds plausible, also they may use it to decide the units (cals/joules) of the viewer

Yup. From a youth spent watching anime I can read katakana and hiragana, despite Japan’s economic and demographic woes their culture is very impactful

It’ll rise when there are more employers competing for the workers. Until then they don’t have to try so hard to find people, students can see the bad salaries ahead of time yet th…

I think you have it backwards since prices really haven’t moved enough to counter the rate hikes. Monthly payments are still up 50-75% depending on the home and area compared to Q1…
