I dunno, the SCOTUS has been overturning decades old rulings out of nowhere lately.

How new SCOTUS can reverse old SCOTUS seems like an odd power for them to have.

July 16th is the 197th day of the year on non leap years. July 17th is the 199th day of the year on leap years.

Both of those are prime.

Our company pays for TeamViewer, and I still get nagged all the time, so there's no point in giving them money, they still nag you all the time.

Wait until you get to the inner working of a pinball machine or jukebox!

Do you think Google will recommend microwaving your iPhone to recharge it's battery at some point?

72% chance from here. Probably high enough that swing state voters opted to stay home. This was the vibe practically all October. The FBI felt confident enough in her win to announce they were investigating her to appear unbiased.

Polling being inaccurate for whatever reason doesn't change the article after article assuring everyone Hillary had it in the bag.

Just remember polls gave Hillary almost a guaranteed win. For all intents and purposes, Trump is the front runner regardless of what any polling says

Gas discounts are pretty small.

At least for Kroger, you get $0.03 baseline with no discount. After you spend $100, you get one fill up with $0.10 discount up to 35 gallons. My vehicle in particular has 11 gallons. So my maximum discount is $1.10, up from base line $0.33 discount. $1.10 discount per $100 spent is barely worth it.

Even if you used all 35 gallons, that's $3.50 discount per $100 spent.

So if you have a massive vehicle that takes 35 gallons, you can save $35 off the fill up after you spend $1000 in the store. Could you have saved that $35 by shopping at a different grocery store?

Man, just know my dental plan would take a study like this to move to once a year cleanings :(

I like getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist

What if eat meat and just don't have kids? Sounds like I get to be selfish and think about the environment at the same time

Well overall, using these techniques has probably resolved a ton of investigations where the leads ran out and it being an overall positive. I think it would still be better that DNA from these sources cannot be used in trial. So a DNA match can give you a new angle to find other elements, but the fact DNA was used to find a trail shouldn't be admissable.

I guess the saying "better 100 guilty people go free rather than an innocent man should suffer" applies though.

My bias though is probably skewed through the media I consume. I do watch a lot of channels like Lackluster YouTube videos (shows corruption and double standards in policing). I do try to balance it out with channels like Code Blue Cam which does highlight good policing too, but I would say I have an inherent distrust with policing nowadays.

Well prosecutors and cops are incentivized to get arrests. Whether to pump numbers up for promotions or to use in campaigning. So it wouldn't surprise me if cops turn a cold case into a witch hunt because some partial DNA match in a "private" database gave them a few suspects and then they start to build some case to fit the suspects.

I hope some good lawyers find some facilities serving Viagra via Medicaid and get that shutdown. I know the law doesn't say "gender-affirming care", but here's hoping.

The problem right now (I think) is the "Hide NSFW Posts" is a lemmy setting, and the blurs are Sync settings.

So the hide NSFW post prevents the API from returning any post marked NSFW

Fen Research? What an odd company name for a game studio. I would expect a company name like that would be harvesting user data for something.

I always squint at meat products that claim something like "made with 100% real chicken." Yeah okay, there is chicken in there, but how much of the food consists of that 100% real chicken?

Isnt that how all social media sites start out. Starts with nerd culture and eventually other people come in later?

Verge article where the claim is due to ad blocker mitigation and not browser specific.

You said that you heard it was ad blocker related too. So the initial wave of reports about it being Firefox was inaccurate. Every article about it all sourced a singular reddit post. Just some social media "journalism".

Anecdotally, which I understand is not a great measure, I didn't experience this when it was first being reported on. But I pay for YouTube premium, so maybe that's a difference too

This just sounds like another "Google is slowing down Firefox" thing where everyone's source was a reddit post and didn't even turn out to be accurate
