no one cares

No, dude literally said at the end that he had no idea what else would be the cause. That's a pretty damn strong opinion in the face of everything that's happened in recent decades.

Did you? Sure, it quotes a study, but its otherwise a bunch of quotes from one of the study authors, an author who has a definite idea of what to blame:

Smart phones, and nothing else. Let's hope he's better at conducting studies than he is at staying abreast of current events, but yeah, this non-sense is close to cream-of-the-crop for the Scientific Americanlivescience.com "articles" that are always cluttering my Lemmy feed. Okay, so I confused one site for another, but we should demand better of more respectable sites, as well as round-filing the utter garbage.

Fair enough. Apologies.

Turns out the headline is correct, but not because of anything to do with recognizing Taiwan. The ship sailed within 12 miles of the Chinese Mainland.

Yet another opinion piece to remind me that blocking posts by domain can't come soon enough.

Taiwanese* waters...

Only clicked because I thought it said Ai Knoxville ... but this is exactly the kind of thing video-producing AIs should be trained on. 1000% better than the original Jackass.

Ouch. So he didn't actually complete the assignment in a minute...

What got cut off at the bottom?

Sounds like you should have taken his phone away when everyone else had finished, or before that, since he was distracting others. Also sounds like the assignment wasn't challenging enough for him.

Random book, even one mentioned in the article, along with anecdotes by the author, lists more and better studies than the 1,317 studies scoped by the Queensland University of Technology? Doubt.

I remember people giving Biden shit for smelling his granddaughter's head, right in that spot in the middle of the scalp that always smells like a newborn baby. People make me so sad for the little wholesome things its obvious they missed out on, so they label it "predatory".

Fair enough, but 42 in any octet is going to be common anyways because nerds love us some Douglass Adams.

You think you're arguing with me, when I'm just quoting Driver's Ed, and several states' Driver's Manuals. Mental Gymnastics? 🤷

Actually, it is a driver's job to avoid and/or mitigate a wreck by any means necessary. The only mental gymnastics taking place are yours. You're arguing against the wording of multiple driver's manuals.

While I've never seen a router default to the 172.16... range, to me it just means that someoe bothered to modify the settings. No wonder the network is faster.

Fear-mongering much?

They are counting on you to not show up in court.

Last time(20 years ago) I got a valid out-of-state ticket though, the fees and whatnot were less than 20% of what I expected. One criteria where Illinois is cheaper than Indiana, it turns out.

I've heard this from cops I knew, as a more general rule; No one around here drives less than five over unless they are drunk, stoned, or into some shady shit.
