Musk very clearly actively sticks his fingers in the pie to steer narratives. Easy example, one of his children came out as trans (to Elon's apparent dismay), and now "cisgender" i…

I think a democrat who could actually distance themselves from Biden, someone who had more leeway to criticize his policies without the obvious "if current policy is wrong, what's …

I make bread by hand and "gross cooking hands" includes hands covered in shaggy dough.

don't get me wrong, it is silly, but also being able to set a timer without touching anything with your gross cooking hands is unironically a wonderful feature.

I can only speak to my own interpretations of the text, but this is a setting where magic well and truly exists, if typically in forms that were seldom seen directly. I don't think…

I think I may be old-man-yells-at-cloud-ing here, but maybe making products to solve all these use cases for a beginning user is just what an educational tool like raspberry pi sho…

Yeah, I understand where this author comes from but at the same time the whole premise sort of garners a head-tilt, half-squint, visible confusion. Companies only really self-regul…

this is mentioned and addressed in the article.

This reminds me a bit of the some of the problem solving experiments done comparing pet dogs to undomesticated wolves. The experiment wasn't overly complicated, a piece of meat was…

This has already become self-evident when trying to find images on google. I have seen whole pages of results which were AI-generated. At every level it becomes so hard to understa…

Flipper is fun, and cool in a very cyberpunk way (even the name makes me think of the dolphin in johnny mnemonic), but what kept me from buying one, is, while cool, it's aesthetic …

I know people got hurt (and fish died) but all I can think is, this is a hotel lobby, there most certainly IS security camera footage of the failure and subsequent deluge and man d…

I mean, at least with real life sports there are no hacky obtuse contrivances because, it's real life, not a videogame with a meta that includes knowledge of engine exploits or int…

Though there is the threat of rules being made to govern "unsportsman-like" behavior that dissuades this kind of thing. If the powers that govern the sport determine they don't wan…

When my cars basic functions stop working I'd rather it be that they're actually broken, not that I've lapsed on payments. I agree that it's definitely a matter of degrees, there a…

This debate is tiresome, and is the Ctrl-V'd response to every article that even implies we Americans pay too much for healthcare. I realize this particular subject is insulin, but…

idk, I feel like the opacity of social media allows for the more direct control of the zeitgeist from special interests. Propaganda can be given the paradoxical credibility of a "c…

I worry about the unaccounted soft power of someone with that much money. Through lobbying and market consolidation, the extremely wealthy hold disproportionate political and econo…

I'd also add that going to your local specialty grocery, you'll probably find that the spices there are actually cheaper as well, sometimes significantly.

Not to claim to be an expert in indian cooking (anglicized or otherwise), but I make a lot of curry from scratch, and I gotta say that featured video had a pretty excellent recipe.…

this is tangential to your point, but I feel as though I personally use this justification often in technical projects, a wide base of users often means a large base of accessible …

Broadening the definition of consciousness to the literal limits seems pointless, it dilutes the already difficult to manifest definition of consciousness to complete uselessness.

I understand this is not the point of the article, but whenever I see one of those SUVs on the road I feel a twinge of saddness; it seems a car in internal dissonance, it wants to …
