Dog telepathy?

They finally invented the face-storage device seen in the John Woo masterpiece Face/Off

Y'all have problems if you think about shooting people whenever there is an option to fire a projectile. This was an Onion article BTW.

If anybody thought this post was a serious question the answer is that people usually don't want to shoot people.

Actually did some backyard archery practice with my son today. All we wanted to shoot was that bullseye on the foam target.

Degoogle and you might not have to worry so much about battery life. I almost never have to charge mine overnight, just once every couple days when it gets low.

Yeah the wristband is some bullshit. When I was a kid and on the free lunch for poor kids program, all they needed was a fucking list at the checkout. I took my lunch tray to the checkout lunch-lady and said my name, and she'd check it on the list and we were done.

Well they must want more women to vote for Harris.

Protecting everyone's privacy should be the default, and we need federal legislation to set that default.

Have you read the source code for the programming for those chips? Do you know exactly how they work?

Voice recognition is highly subjective, and some of you actually trust billionaire's companies enough to take their word that their devices will only listen for certain special words? Ridiculous.

No politics in this post, only business

"I'd never pooped a log so big before and didn't realize it was possible"

I read The Stand and It before high school, and lots of other mature books with "inappropriate" material. It resulted in improved reading skills.

I'm in the USA and I get 3 weeks paid vacation, 10 paid holidays, and 2 "personal days" which are also PTO, and more sick time than I am ever able to use up. I think I have over 200 hours of sick leave PTO accrued.

This is not a basic entry-level job though, it's after climbing the career ladder for years. It would be much nicer for our country's folks if everyone was allowed as much PTO by all jobs.

I bought a cylinder head pressure gauge from HF and took it home, didn't work at all. When I looked at it closely I could see that it was completely missing the core valve that is supposed to be in the bottom. It was just a hole instead of a valve. Took it back for a refund next day.

No it was quite a lot more than "a marketing guy" - there were pages and pages of details about their Active Listening program on their website, investor presentations etc. They went far into detail about how much they could listen to and what they could do with all that audio data.

Here's the Internet Archive link:

That's a BS reason. I have 2 members of the Baby Boomer generation in my Signal contacts, they use it all the time with no problems. It's no harder than iMessage to use. They would like it better when they see that Signal doesn't gimp the image quality between Android and iOS phones unlike iMessage

The problem with closed source apps is you don't know what else is going on in the background and what else it might have installed or connected to, unless you have debug logs for everything it did and know how to interpret all of that. I wouldn't install any app from the facebook company on any device I use

I wouldn't even call Ryobi the cheap one, they are good quality and cost more than many others. Harbor Freight is what I'd call cheap - my rule of thumb is that very simple hand tools from HF are OK but anything complex is probably not

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, they on marijuana rapin' everybody out here

Just another reason not to watch them. I don't want to watch any videos of talking heads. There's no reason that I need to watch a video of someone's face talking about anything.

That didn't work with porn, so it's not a good idea for less popular websites.
