European car safety body is coming for touchscreens. The European New Car Assessment Programme mandates that key controls need physical buttons or switches

Jump

  • Both my and my husband's US cars already have all of the items listed as physical buttons. I don't know that it'll really change much.

    • TIL there is no original TI-84 as the TI-84 Plus was an upgrade (like iPhone 14 to 13) to the TI-83 Plus

  • We all played a game called Drug Wars. It was text based.

    • Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform

    Jump

  • I don't know anyone who's used IRC in the last fifteen years at least.

    At least back when I used IRC, it wasn't indexed either. It was just an alternative to AOL Instant Messenger or Yahoo Chat.

    • Michigan Republican congressman suggests nuking Gaza, ending humanitarian aid

    Jump

  • Likely not. His constituents are nutters.

    • "Men are bad at picking up on women's hints." What are your actual thoughts on this sentiment?

    Jump

  • Even worse, the men who figure things out tend to find a good partner and pair up, taking them out of the pool.

    Why does this get an 'even worse' qualifier?

    • 'The gold rush is over:' Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon devs say that big Game Pass and Epic exclusive deals have dried up for indie devs

    Jump

  • Can you link the solicitation or grant where people can apply for this?

    • Vegetables are losing their nutrients. Can the decline be reversed?

    Jump

  • My mom grew tomatoes every year until she couldn't physically garden anymore.

    They were still disgusting.

    • The WHO declared aspartame "possibly" causes cancer. Here’s what that means. | Vox

  • (Here's a study on the liver effects.)[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6549781/]

    It doesn't specifically say that fructose has a worse effect on the liver than sucrose, but it does say that fructose is 2x sweeter than glucose, which makes it more addicting, which causes you to drink more because you crave it. So I went looking up sweetness scales and fructose is also sweeter than sucrose (which is still sweeter than glucose), sometimes by a significant margin.

    So if both are bad on the liver, fructose could possibly be worse because of a higher level of addiction due to sweetness level, which causes you to consume more than you might with just sucrose.

    • Georgia GOP Official Who Whined About Stolen Election Voted Illegally Nine Times

    Jump

  • I kinda figure that was Epstein.

    • Twitch bans turning butts and boobs into green screens

    Jump

  • You really think there aren't any normal streamers on Twitch?

    • Asking a Linux user to recommend a printer

    Jump

  • You mean my house?

    • Are housecats aware of how much bigger people are?

    Jump

  • I once saw a self-proclaimed 'cat expert' YouTuber say that a cat loafing was a bad sign. Like a sign they were being abused and scared or some other crock of shit.

    I turned off their video when it got to that piece.

    • What is your favourite book?

    Jump

  • Interesting. I read these as a kid and remember nothing but them being ripping good yarns.

    • Vinyl records outsell CDs for the second year running

    Jump

  • Depends what you're into. CD sales are more than alive and well in the kpop/jpop circles and there isn't a lot of vinyl to find there.

    • Will and Jada Pinkett Smith charity closes down after decreasing donations post-Oscar slap

    Jump

  • Well, that's probably because Justice Smith isn't related to Will Smith.

    • Baltimore bridge collapses into river after being hit by cargo ship

    Jump

  • I think we all know someone who was forced to buy TP on ebay in the early pandemic.

    No. I don't know anyone, aside from Internet memes.

    Jump

  • Indie games is really where it's at right now.

    • Will Smith Zombie Game No One Has Heard Of Bombs

    Jump

  • On skimming, I'd thought it had something to do with the kpop group, BTS. They have a song called Louder than Bombs.

    • I need to replace milk in my coffee and I need ideas

    Jump

  • Personally, oat milk works fine with caramel syrups, but doesn't taste as good with mints or chocolate as soy does.

    • What is something that 2020s kids will never get to experience?

    Jump

  • I've been listening to the 1001 albums you have to listen to before you die list. (There's a website that randomizes it and gives you an album a day).

    I'm about 100 albums in. The grand majority are trash, that includes stuff by the Beatles or the Rolling Stones or Janis Joplin, etc. Just absolute garbage. One of two songs worth listening to and the rest is straight trash.

    Albums as an art form died because it was never really a good art form to begin with.
