It's very akin to reddit ~10 years ago. Grammar nazis, "um actually" and pedantic debates are everywhere. You just have to not engage and consistently remember the other guy is probably a sweaty nerd who cares way more than you do.
Please explain? After doing some quick googling, it looks like my interpretation is pretty accurate. But again this could be due to localized results. I'm not going to pretend all English speakers use the same words for the same things.
Cool story. I don't know a single person in my area with a letterbox let alone a locking one. It's just not something we have in the more rural areas.
Unless this is a language thing. To me, a letterbox is generally attached to a house, often it's just a slot on the front door. And a mailbox is on a post near the street (and generally they do not lock)
It's one of those opportunity crimes where the easiest victim generally picked. It usually comes down to just two things:
How many people see your porch
How easy is it to walk up and walk away?
You'd be surprised how much of a deterrent a mild inconvenience is. You'll get significantly fewer packages that walk off if you live on a big hill, or have a bunch of steps, where it's mildly inconvenient for someone to walk up.
I am absolutely sad when I get a bag of broken chips. And it definitely works you can test it yourself with some ziplock bags. There most likely is some shrinkflation hidden in that air, but the majority of it probably is playing an important part for people like me who love their chips but hate the crumbs.
I'm always amazed how little space it takes to store huge amounts of plain text. Especially when it's compressed. That old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is off by a few orders of magnitude.
I don't know why you're being down voted. As a Spanish speaker, it's a definite limitation of the language. Where is the penis on a pen, or the vagina on a pencil? Not everything needs a gender, even if you take a firm stance on the existence of non-binary people.
I got the joke, but it's just not funny. It's overused so much I was fully expecting someone to say it as soon as I hit the comments. It's a part of the "only joke" series right leaning people make about non-binary people being "attach helicopters" and it comes up every time the subject comes up on the Internet.
I think you might just be hyper aware of it and see it in places that are not AI written. This reads fine to me, very stereotypical article where you only need to read every other sentence in every other paragraph because the writer was fluffing for ad space. It's hard to write a "scrollable" article about a very specific piece of a shoe.
Controversial, but until they are diagnosed with a mental illness, you have to assume they are in control of their actions regardless of their age. If a medically mentally sound 70 year old man is sexually harassing people, he's just as guilty as someone half their age (not saying your parents would do that, just proving a point).
My personal opinion is you choose who you have relationships with, including family relationships. If you want to keep a relationship with them, you have to accept that they are choosing to act this way (again, assuming no medical/mental conditions) and decide to love them anyway.
If they are actually experiencing mental decline and not just relaxing their inhibitions, as so many older people tend to do, then you need to get them to a doctor fast. Everything from medication side effects to vitamin deficiency can cause mental decline. If they have early dementia, or some other incurable mental ailment, talk to a therapist about how to handle the situation and stay sane yourself. Caring for someone you know will never get well is extremely hard emotionally.
Sounds sketchy for sure. But some follicle tests for weed can go back up to a year, you could have actually tested positive. The conspiracy part comes back in because usually they only test for 2-3 months unless a different time frame is requested.
Your boss could have had a connection at the hotel, and convinced them to get a test for a longer time frame. Most believable answer to me at least. Especially if he knew you smoked or smelled it on you.
We are not to the point of climate change where we can expect rapid, radical changes to the way the majority of Americans live. And when we hit that point, it won't be made by complaining to the people driving cars, it will be made by politicians abolishing zoning laws, setting stronger restrictions on rent within cities, and heavy investment into public transportation.
Blaming the huge number of people who can't afford to live in a city and must drive an hour each way for work just makes you an asshole.
The UI is not the worst I've ever had in a car, it sacrifices a lot in favor of simplicity and/or software but a lot of simple tasks can be done through voice or happen automatically.
Wipers are auto, headlights are auto, but if you need to adjust them without using a voice command, you're gonna say "why can't this just be like a normal car"
You do get used to a lot of the quirks pretty quick. But there are a lot of quirks to get used to.
Not an Elon fan, just got one for a steal of a deal through a family member.
