  • I thought the typo was going to be 'calm mediation' at first and just thought it would be lawyer ASMR.

  • That cat has a 1000 yard stare, it's been through some shit. I wonder if it'll keep doing the cat thing or if it'll be scared of boxes from now on.

  • Wouldn’t it be good to have the truth during investigations?

    Well, yeah, but the mind is fallible. That's why eye witness testimony usually only gets a case so far, people tend to forget specifics and fill in the gaps without realizing they did.

  • In the gaming world, for example, MSI announced this year a monitor with a built-in NPU and the ability to quickly show League of Legends players when an enemy from outside of their field of view is arriving.

    ...So it just lets them cheat? I remember when monitor overlay crosshairs were controversial, this is insane to me.

  • Greed is the reason, because they can. People need housing. Same way grocery stores are getting away with charging so much, people need food. The working market theoretically should fix this in time, but so far it isn't. New houses and competing grocery stores don't appear overnight. I fully agree with you, rentals have their place and there can be many benefits, but without proper oversight and rent control this was always going to be the outcome - squeeze as much cash out of people until you literally can't anymore. I don't think there is some secret collusion going on between landlords (at least in most cases), there's really no need. Just watch rental prices, then when the area average becomes higher than you charge for your unit, you raise yours slightly above that. By doing that you've now ever so slightly increased that area's average, now other landlords will raise their prices slighy higher, causing other landlords to raise their prices slightly higher, rinse and repeat. Note that I might be completely off the mark here but this lines up with my experiences at least.

  • If a consumer watches something on their Apple TV and then presses the pause button, a Roku TV set could use either audio or video-based content recognition technologies (known in the industry as ACR) to identify what’s being watched, match the current scene to a database and extract relevant information to pair an ad with it.

    Wow somehow their idea is even worse than I imagined, glad I don't own a Roku now.

  • It says 5 moves, which could average 10 seconds or less per move if it's speed chess sex, so a much more realistic standard.

  • Here's a pic of the goofball during winter, somehow in a state halfway between sitting and standing.

  • Oh boy yeah that sounds awful, it was bad enough with them isolated downstairs and after washing the dog immediately. Both times I could very easily smell it in my room for at least a week, fades over time though, first few days suckkkk.

  • I always thought people overexaggerated about how dramatic huskys are - until I had one live below me for a few years. Some of those noises just made me laugh from how goofy it was. Dummy got sprayed by a skunk too, twice.

  • shiiiiid, i guess thats me

  • The fact that the hair looks almost identical to a girl I dated in High School who shaved her eyebrows at one point is just too perfect.

  • My roommate from a year ago was adamant CCleaner was required for his PC to keep running. In 2023. I was just shocked to see it was still even a thing.

  • I enjoy that the character that can break a lot of things is called the "non-breaking space".

  • Canadian here moving back into his parents house next week after being away for 9 years because he can no longer afford to rent a property of any kind in this city. Or rather I should say I can, but combined with student loans, utilities becoming insanely priced, and an only okay paying job (still nearly $10 over min wage), it means I have nothing left over at the end of the month. I haven't had savings in over a year and just don't really do anything aside from work since I straight up can't afford to. On one hand I'm lucky I found a good job near to my parents that uses the skills I currently use at my job and it even pays a bit more, but it feels like I've failed at being an adult the same time. At least I'll be able to save some money and maybe actually enjoy life for once in a while.

  • At this point I feel it's too late. Unless they purchase a large fleet of aircraft and rotate through randomly, it would be fairly trivial to find what jets happened to be flying to the airport closest to Taylor Swift and make a solid assumption on which one is hers after a few flights.
