A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose?

Jump

  • Oh! I got a similar story. My first roommate in college had a Police CD, Every time you got in it started at the first song, Roxanne... He NEVER changed the CD.

    I never was a big fan but by the end of the year I hated that song.

    • Paralyzed Jockey Loses Ability to Walk After Manufacturer Refuses to Fix Battery For His $100,000 Exoskeleton

  • Yeah, I'm a big right to repair person. But medical equipment is a different level. This isn't just affecting yourself, if a tech screws up people die.

    • Is Google Maps getting worse?

    Jump

  • So far... I can easily see some MBA wanting to add that "feature". They have your driving history, they could easily route someone with Starbucks stops past more Starbucks for a fee.

    • I love people with kids who are oblivious they're shitty parents.

    Jump

  • Yeah there are a lot of possible nuances here.

    LASIK can be optional, but there are a lot of situations where it can make a huge difference depending on her eyesight issues.

    Teacher salary is NOT good in most places. And at 24 she's entry level. Could be making less than enough to really live on, depending on CoL in her area.

    • Trump’s on Truth Social MAKING NO SENSE AT ALL AGAIN

    Jump

  • He has moderate dementia, no doubt.

    • Kamala Harris tells WPR she supports eliminating the filibuster to restore abortion rights

    Jump

  • Lol which is why many like the way it is.

    • Smart home

    Jump

  • It's always risk vs convenience.

    Personally I respect folks keen on privacy. But I'm old, I don't have kids, and don't give a fuck. Give me my voice commands and no hassle set up/use...

    • Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy

    Jump

  • Funny you mention grocery type items. That's where I first noticed how bad Amazon can price gouge. Sometimes 3-4 times what the price should be.

    • Nearly all of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's campaign staff quits after CNN report

    Jump

  • Or need the job...

    • Harris accepts CNN debate invitation for October 23, again challenging Trump to another showdown

    Jump

  • Yeah but because of medical advances they aren't dying off as fast as they should!

    • Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy

    Jump

  • Amazon has very good deals OR very bad ones. I find Microcenter often equal to or even better than Amazon in most tech stuff.

    Your experience is exactly why you shouldn't make sweeping judgement on one data point.

    1. Photo paper isn't really tech. It's a supply.
    2. It's a low volume niche item.
    3. People that are buying it are less likely to care about cost (older) or want it right now. So Microcenter feels they can charge more. (IMO)

    • Israeli Minister of Education Suggests Lebanon Will Be “Annihilated”

    Jump

  • US has only one master and that's capitalism. Israel has money and is making the war machine rich. If Israel started costing the rich in the US money that would change very quickly.

  • Many native English speakers don't know them. To them (myself included) it just doesn't "sound right" but I couldn't tell you why it's wrong.

  • 13,000 bananas

    • The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it.

    Jump

  • Yeah that has getting put on a list written all over it ..

    Jump

  • That's like saying exploding cars when you're really talking about a bomb placed in a car...

    • Tor says it’s "still safe" amid reports of police deanonymizing users

    Jump

  • Yeah, VPN at the very least adds another hoop they have to jump through.

    • Threw a wrestling watch party, made special food, and was very disappointed in the outcome.

    Jump

  • General rule of thumb, plan on less than half the people you invite actually showing up for any gathering.

    Also... Wrestling....

    • Democrats and Republicans are both in the pockets of AIPAC

    • Constellation Energy plans to invest $1.6B to revive the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania and sell all the output to Microsoft for AI energy demands.

  • Batteries scale horribly and are extremely toxic themselves.

    SOME parts of Europe are cheap some are expensive and are subject to bad price spikes.

    The reality is we need everything. More solar/wind is great! But we also need secure stable baseline generation that works. Nothing comes close to nuclear.
