We had one new guy getting fired for “refusing to talk to people who don’t have a university degree”.

This election has the same dreadful feeling as 2000.

Nevermind the crazyness, it’s the certainty that something worldwide bad is going to happen due to the incompetence of the American government.

About a week maximum.

The taste changes over time, so I prefer using them in 1-2 days.

It’s detachable in my fridge.

I use the egg holder on the door shelf for small bottles that would otherwise fall over when the door is opened. Medicine or nail polish, that sort of thing.

I also the egg holder to … hold the eggs … after they’re boiled, so I can fill the egg cooker instead of boiling just a few at a time. I use cold boiled eggs for sandwiches or salats.

I do not use it for holding raw eggs as those already come in an egg shaped carton.

Maybe Biden could pack the Supreme Court before leaving office.

It wouldn’t be a great idea in the long run, but it’d potentially stop the entire system from functioning right now.

The actual story is that the bank will stop accepting or exchanging damaged bills.

CR2032 batteries are hit and miss in my experience. Sometimes my car FOB burns through one a month2 and other times they’ll last years.

Are other homes increasing as much in that area? Or did they build a double garage, remodel the kitchen and install 15 swimming pools?

Of all the places you’ve renovated, in how many did you check the foundation under the toilet for hidden treasures?

I certainly hope OP will fix the toilet once and for all, so that the next time this pipe sees the day of light is when a bulldozer excavates the foundation for the next building.

I think it’s fairly optimistic to believe that they’ll stop bugging you with the Windows 11 upgrade even if you do pay $30.

Well it isn’t 6.

From Wikipedia:

In 2002, lecturers and students from the University of Plymouth MediaLab Arts course used a £2,000 grant from the Arts Council to study the literary output of real monkeys. They left a computer keyboard in the enclosure of six Celebes crested macaques in Paignton Zoo in Devon, England from May 1 to June 22, with a radio link to broadcast the results on a website. Not only did the monkeys produce nothing but five total pages largely consisting of the letter “S”,the lead male began striking the keyboard with a stone, and other monkeys followed by urinating and defecating on the machine

Mike Phillips, director of the university’s Institute of Digital Arts and Technology (i-DAT), said that the artist-funded project was primarily performance art, and they had learned “an awful lot” from it. He concluded that monkeys "are not random generators. They’re more complex than that

forced into an echo chamber.

Yes, it does that.

Using YouTube on a new account or through one of the alternatives will result in a wildly different feed. I was recently shocked by seeing the default non-curated feed on YouTube.

Absolutely none of the content was interesting to me; most of it was directly anger inducing political crap or just plain brainrot. I would definitely not visit that shit page ever again if the default feed was my first impression. I don’t know if it’s supposed to be a right wing breeding ground by now, but it sure isn’t as balanced as I would have expected.

My regular YT feed is obviously much more interesting to me, and I can use it to find new content, but since I don’t want to wait for the ads, I now only watch my own subscriptions on a different frontend, which of course will create an even smaller echo chamber.

I get how a curated feed can benefit the user, but YouTube is just not making it possible. It will only show (rage) engaging content and without the dislike function, you can only decide not to watch the crap or get shown more crap until you do like it.

putting it within the context of a particular life choice adds a layer of focus to the conversation.

It won’t create a very interesting debate though, because OP already excluded most people who followed through on the opposing view in the question itself.

This extra layer of focus really functions as a filter, which can only result in a hall of mirrors.

It’s perfectly fine if OP just wanted to confirm an existing bias and need arguments for that, but it’s absolutely not a very interesting conversation.

I know plenty of assholes who aren’t rich, so I don’t think there’s any correlation.

This is clearly a “why not both” situation.

Emissions must be cut and new technologies for reversing existing damage must be developed. There’s a whole bunch of different things that needs doing, because there is simply no single solution, but using one approach to argue against another is certainly not helping anyone.

It can happen in many ways. If you’ve ever used your mail for anything, then the address is out there.

Just the other day I got an email addressed to 50+ people with every email in the “to” field. Ironically the mail was about online security…

Obviously it’s a breach on GDPR, but the damage is already done. If just one of the other recipients has been hacked or has forwarded to someone who is or has allowed some dodgy app to syncronize contracts, the scamners now has all the emails.

There’s absolutely nothing I could have done to prevent it.

It makes sense to have the ingredients first for making a shopping list and prepping. However, I do agree, with recipes being online, it should be a small task to include the quantity in the description too, even if it is adjustable for different servings.

“Ding ding ding!” When someone agrees with something you wrote, but wants to make sure that you know that they already knew and claim ownership of the statement that you wrote. Condesending asshole. I did not arrive at your opinion late.

“Meanwhile” in cooking recipes. Just no. I am following a recipe in stepwise order. You do not get to tell me what I should have already done in the previous step.

If my phone didn’t have a cap, I’d hotspot it all, which is basically the idea of cellular home internet routers. I found a home router without a cap, which time will tell to be true, but it’s still more expensive than my phone with a very large but not unlimited cap.

They want to get paid, that’s the reasoning. The amount of data is really irrelevant except for pricing.

Roaming fees used to be the same until EU stepped in. Hopefully EU will eventually step in and order a full stop to ALL CAPS too. We live in the “future” now, right? Bring me my free unlimited connection so I can download that car they talked about.

I bet those 40 hours are more stressful than before.

Efficiency has increased,so you’re probably doing a whole lot of more tasks with the same time, but the bureaucracy still exists. It’s just a different kind of bureaucracy.

While we no longer need to stand in line to get a rubber stamp on a paper from some rude clerk just to pay a bill, we now need to download apps, keep the systems up to date, manage user accounts and input the data exactly how the app wants it. While the individual task might be somewhat easier than before, it is now expected that you do a whole lot more of these bureaucratic tasks yourself. All the tech bloat creeps up and makes every little task a little more difficult than before.
