    Despite the article title being technically true but misleading it was an interesting read. These really are just ankle monitors that were redesigned during the Biden administratio…

    There was a paragraph about AI somewhere in the middle. > The AI efficiency narrative provides the perfect cover for these layoffs. Companies can frame headcount reduction as “leve…

    I have a big phone in order to display more actual content, not because I want more whitespace. Scrolling may be easy, but it’s still harder to quickly skim content if you have to …

    I'm not saying things aren't a mess and that some shelves won't go empty. However, it is worth noting that CEOs also have a vested interest in trying to reduce tariffs. And they wo…

    It’s perfectly logical. Even if the company doesn’t intentionally have sesame in their product, what if one of their suppliers gives them sesame tainted flour or something? If they…

    Considering the article mentions ReCET and semaglutide, presumably most people in the study weren't resuming the unhealthy diet. Semaglutide is ozempic. By itself it can be enough …

    > was the feeling of hunger due to drastic reduction in portion size? While that was sometimes the case, it wasn't always so. Sometimes the feeling of hunger was almost random, and…

    I'm with you on this, tirzepatide has been life changing for me. I've struggled with my weight my whole life and I can actually imagine a future where I lose enough that I'm no lon…

    I feel lucky that doesn't bother me when watching his videos. I can sympathize with you somewhat though, because the Food Wishes channel drives me insane for a similar reason. (Che…

    I just finished watching his purple gold video and he looked at, but didn't buy, the vacuum forge for that video. I'd actually find it cool if he did a shorter video revisiting the…

    Water isn't a great example, but decision paralysis at stores from too many options is a thing.

    Just as AceJohnny said, the scope of this is entirely different. Restoring a backup for an internal project costs time/resources that the company can easily handle. If it became a …

    While I don't know of any washers/dryers with them, heat pumps can be more than 200% efficient, so there's still potential for improvements there in theory. Though to be honest I a…

    Nowadays when I work downtown I'll sometimes take a leisurely lunch that involves walking to a restaurant, ordering food, waiting for it, eating it, and then returning. That can ta…

    Are you sure there’s not similar situations in Europe? I’m sure the healthcare situation over there helps a lot, but it looks like there’s still groups of people living in tents in…
