  • I'm originally a St. Louis kid, but i live in Ohio now and it is frustrating seeing both states i consider my home get fucked over like this. Obviously the Republicans are going to try to screw over everyone, but it drives me nuts that the Democrats don't put out ads ripping into the GOP for striking down ballot initiatives. It's such an easy slam dunk, but they won't do it.

  • It's because that is the only thpe of machine learning/ai that C-suites and MBAs can wrap their head around. They keep pushing it because they need to look like they ar doing something at their know-nothing/do-nothing job.

  • It's dangerously cold for maybe 10 days during the 3 months of winter where i live (temperaturs below 20F). Far from the 3 months of temperatures that never drop below 95 degrees in Texas. The Midwest, the Rockies, Pacific Northwest, and mid to north Atlantic of the US are all well within normal human habitation ranges.

  • Who is interested in that data other than Oral-B and their competitors though? Oral-B isn't collecting that data to sell to itself, and they certainly wouldn't want their competition using it

  • I grew up stateside, but it blows anything we have in Ohio out of the water. Cleveland is the only city on the state that has am actual light rail, which functions ok (i did get stuck in the downtown station for 45 minutes due to a breakdown while we received zero information from anyone at the station. A lady had to call RTA to figure out what was going on while we sweat it out on a hot and crowded underground stop). Toledo and Elyria have an Amtrak station, Cincinnati has about 4 miles of streetcar rail downtown and a few bus lines, while Columbus only has buses for a metro population of over 2.2 million. Where i grew up, St. Louis, the city wanted to expand rail routes out to the suburbs, but the residents of the suburbs shut it down because the white residents were "worried about crime" coming into the suburbs from downtown. Our systems are absolutely fucked out here.

  • We aren't just talking small towns though. Any city that isn't New York, Chicago, or Boston might as well not have any rail service at all. Houston has 22.7 miles of passenger railway that is only located downtown. Columbus Ohio has a metro of 2.2 million people and doesn't have a single inch of passenger rail. Cleveland has an OK system by American standards, which i use whenever i go to Cleveland, but the only option for me to take a train into Cleveland from where i live in NW Ohio would take an hour longer than just driving there outright.

  • Don't be dogging on Newcastle Transport like that. My grandpa used to be able to get anywhere in the UK by walking to the North Shields station and hopping on the light rail for free to Newcastle station. Just because the southerns ruined their rail systems doesn't mean the Geordies trashed theirs.

  • The only time a tried to buy a laptop from Amazon it was advertised as 16Gb of RAM. What was delivered was 8G with an 8GB SD card taped to the box and Amazon refused to give me an actual refund. So i just assume any computer you buy on Amazon is fraudulent now

  • My probtis i love in a tiny apartment with two cats. My windows were kept tight to keep on the pitiful amount of cold air from my window unit, but not being able to open the windows at night means my timy apartment starts to smell like cat real fast
