Why bother putting in the effort of developing and testing an app for a totally new platform that Tim Apple and 3 other people will use?

Sherman should have never stopped.

My brain immediately went to "OP is trying to trigger the trypophobics."

Maybe it's one of those things where if you can't tell who it is, it's you 🤔

We need to take a whole-cloth look at how agribusiness operates. Why is there so much outrage over resources we're using to farm chicken, which as you pointed out are lower calorie-for-calorie than beef, but crickets for the resources we're wasting on growing alfalfa in Arizona.

The great irony there being "happy holidays" is from the Old English (language, not malt liquor) for "happy holy days."

I just Recently discovered Lu Kala, and Hotter Now is now in my heavy rotation.

A few years ago, I had ordered a bunch of gifts for my family to be delivered to my mother's house shortly before Christmas. The morning my flight was supposed to leave, I got an email from Amazon saying my packages were delayed until like mid-January. Given that I needed to be on a plane in a couple of hours, and it was like 3 days before Christmas Day, I ended up just printing off pictures of the stuff I bought and giving everybody a card with them in it. We had a pretty good laugh about it.

Bloodhound Gang had it right; the lap dance really is better when the stripper's crying!

infotainment systems should absolutely not be sharing core vehicle functionality

Particularly and especially when the infotainment system has an always-on cellular connection. Wired ran a story way back in 2015 that hackers had managed to gain control of (I wanna say) a Dodge (it was a Stellantis group car, can't recall which one specifically) and were able to control not only convenience features of the car like lights, wipers, and stereo, but to disable the transmission completely. All it takes is one flaw or zero-day.

Nah, that's a paid upgrade. Default on the poverty-spec models is Kill All Children

Valid, but our credit card and mobile payment penetration is way higher than China's was at the time WeChat launched, and bank relationships are notoriously sticky.

I don't harbor any illusions of the '24 election going smoothly regardless. Trump's camp is going to cry foul and claim the election was stolen regardless if he loses. It'll be worse if he loses badly. We're in for a very unpleasant time.

Employees don't necessarily have to be Catholic, but the "guiding principles" of the hospital are rooted in Catholicism, including decisions like abortion. Catholicism will steer the types of care the hospital provides and its morality will affect care decisions, because as a "private entity" that's a-ok.

I wouldn't touch a faith-based healthcare provider with a 10' pole.

Ah, good to see they've come to a final solution so quickly. I bet they didn't even have to concentrate that hard.

It'll never catch on in the US, though. We don't need the functionality that an "everything app" like WeChat would provide. WeChat took off because it filled in a big gap for its users. The US already has a robust and diversified financial market and payments infrastructure that Zuck won't have any chance of breaking into.

Just like stories, this is yet another feature a messaging app shouldn't have.

Yeah, their "safest" list top 3 were all dead marques; Mercury, Pontiac, and Saturn. They definitely have some sampling issues.

I've done the same thing from the other end; got in to my car and realized my music didn't start playing. Look around and, oops! No phone. My first thought was, "oh no big deal, I'll just call-DAMMIT"
