I don't agree. While yes, it's definitely possible the interviewee handled it poorly, I have seen enough poorly conducted interviews to say it's just as likely the interviewer was …

Well, to be fair, Garry's article was clearly 100% AI-generated. So perhaps he didn't even really post it; maybe it was just a rogue agent. Or, y'know, an assistant who posted with…

I am typically extremely skeptical of food-related studies generally, but Derek Lowe taking it seriously is enough to make me a bit concerned, too. Derek (not David as the other pe…

Was doing some searches to look for where to stream the Super Bowl, and Arkansas's official website (AR.gov) came up with a ton of results. Looks like it may have been compromised?…

At least with traditional search results, there are some indicia of their trustworthiness: does the author/outlet have a history of deception, are their assertions well-sourced, et…

>There's about a million people making at or below minimum wage in the US. Not nobody. I'm sure there are people who are working jobs with truly awful sub-minimum wage pay (under t…

You can. In my very very limited experience you can sell it to collections for something like 80% of the value in a case where they have a perfected security interest. They will se…

Same here - I've had my SyncMaster 226BW for roughly 15 years now and it's still a great monitor, but a few years back I had to replace one of the capacitors after the screen would…

Yeah, I'm unpersuaded as to the definition of "modern" here. A lot of Aristophanes' work (c. 405-423 BC) still holds up today, if one understands the politics of the time.

- You're in a desert, walking along when you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, b…

There are a ton of these shady 'testing' sites all over the country. Some of them will just take all of your information[1], presumably for purposes of identity theft. I was visiti…

I am not a programmer, but it has been fun learning little bits of Python and making scripts to automate tasks. We have folders for clients at work and everything older than a coup…

We got a few packages ($10-$50 each in value) delivered to us over the span of a couple of months. Not ordered by us. Addresses were mailed out to: Jane Smith (my fiance) 1234 Our …

I work for a small/medium (~10-15 employees) non-profit agency where our employees are expected to visit up to 30 clients per month to fulfill a court-imposed requirement for us to…

Barely better than placebo? The paper you linked says: "Inactivated influenza vaccines probably reduce influenza in healthy adults from 2.3% without vaccination to 0.9%" That's a ~…

Have you had to provide the results from a DNA test to any of those groups? I've never been asked to "prove" what I've self-reported, even though I do not look anything like what I…

There’s archive.is but I get the sense that the major use case for that is getting around paywalls as opposed to permanently archiving a page - indeed, since they host content that…

I can't speak for the whole of DOD but there is serious consideration that goes into training flights, with respect to not violating any local laws and especially not fucking with …

Probably a reference to this[1] although the tweet is since deleted. Basically, some guy had heard/felt a sound like a bass guitar string snapping in his head and had some pretty s…

The article repeatedly calls out Miami for being the hottest city in the country. I've never been to Miami, but it looks like averages in the 70s and 80s year-round. I'd take that …

Why use LTSC over, say, Pro? Genuinely curious. I have been running 16299 on Pro since about when it came out. I would be running win2k if drivers, etc were updated for it.
