So much that we're buying them by weight now

Bro, not only are they sentient, the trees fucking hate us. Allergies aren't just something that happens as a quirk of evolution. Those trees are filling the air with their jizz in a coordinated effort to take us out bro. The trees are trying to kill us bro.

I genuinely worry that as more clocks update themselves we will become complacent and will never be free from this tyranny.

But maybe we could reach a point where the clocks update every night so instead of shifting an hour at a time twice per year we can shift 20 seconds per day. I haven't put much thought into this but I think it's the next best solution after leaving the god damned clocks alone.

not what the actual citizens in their districts want

Most of them don't vote, so there's no reason for any politician to ever take their wants into consideration. That's really what needs fixing.

an assault rifle isn't going to be enough to stand up against a modern military force.

Doesn't take much more than that, ask ISIS about it

Sounds like I should stay strapped so I don't get poked

the SBR ban doesn't make absolutely no sense, as long as you're evaluating it from a very particular perspective.

A perspective that can't see bullpups, apparently

they save a lot more lives than than they kill

Do they? Can you provide any examples?

the purpose of electronic door handles is for the car to be able to lock you out from opening the door if there is a car or bicycle approaching from behind in your blind spot.

Seems like they created a lot of unnecessary risk to alleviate a relatively minor problem.

I hope he stole something to make all that worth it

To be fair to Apple, I don't think they're referring to rice dust getting past seals. They're likely referring to bits of rice getting stuck in lightning or USB ports, starch on camera lenses, or a small particle working its way into a button. All of that could be solved by putting the phone in a paper wrapping or envelope and putting that in a real desiccant instead of chucking the phone in a bag of rice.

Virtual Assistants that can parse a command even if it has a long uhhhhh in the middle of it.

As written, the right belongs to 'the people'. That's everyone. It can't be infringed because that would interfere with their ability to form a well regulated militia, which is necessary to secure freedom.

English is hard sometimes, but not that hard if you try.

You can say you worked at Twitter. After the chaos becoming X they aren't going to be able to confirm or deny if the recruiter tries to confirm.

Providing hospice care for a child or spouse is a good one too, make them feel like assholes for asking.

Go to a website. If I say "go to support.ourwebsite.com" I expect you to do that. It blows my mind how often people manage to do a search for the URL and then ask me which result to click on.

Not if you're shutting down Windows, you have to do the restart option to really be effective. Thanks for that Microsoft, totally worth the support headache to be able to boot up in 32 seconds instead of 38.

Clearly you're inclined to get really mad over something that might not have even happened. Chill out.

I'm not trying to defend anyone, just pointing out that this story is entirely based on accusations in a lawsuit. Don't get your blood pressure up over something that might not be true or accurate.

Not on my phone, and it's pretty shitty to need add-ons just to make content readable, so whatever

Still can't read the content without pop-up ads. Hella enshitified.

The couple failed to apply for a conditional use permit and chose to sue instead, the law firm countered. It said the council member cut an illegal sewage pipe — not a water line — after the food truck dumped grease into Parksley’s sewage system, causing damage.

I could see how that situation would make someone tell them to take that behavior back to where it's the norm.
