Packed very tightly. I believe the mother can't eat for the last few days of carrying the egg.

They also have one of the largest egg size to mother size ratios of any species of bird.

Currently ripping all episodes of The Twilight Zone from the box set.

eventually

It's been ten fucking years. They are one of the top five companies in the world. What are we waiting for here?

All of the investors that originally paid into the idea have already made their money. There is no reason to continue the project.

Highly recommend the When Phones were Fun series.

Even as pitched, you still have to print out a QR code and staple it to your front lawn for every package. Presumably, they want you to be home for it since it's dropped out in the open and might bounce into the street.

Amazon announced using drones in 2014. In pop culture, drone delivery is like an assumed common practice. Yet fucking nobody gets their packages delivered by drone. It's been over a decade.

These robots are vaporware. Amazon will get a stock bump and that's the whole point.

I wish the whole streak paradigm was time weighted. Like I got over a 1 year streak on my Apple watch over Covid. That's basically never going to happen again. I wish there was some kind of "this is your longest streak in the past

<time period>

It DOES NOT matter if it’s done with 3 feet to merge or 300 feet to merge. There’s no efficiency gain.

Merging early leaves unused road. Shoving the cars into fewer lanes makes the traffic jam longer and makes it impact more interesections far behind the actual hangup. If you can merge early without slowing down, sure go for it. I'm mostly talking about the scenarios where it's already slowed to a crawl and people feel like they have to merge early to not be seen as "cutting in line."

Edit, also to add, if everyone merges early even at speed, eventually, the car density in the reduced lanes will reach a point where people naturally slow down and you have bumper to bumper traffic.

I suggest Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt for more.

Zipper merging.

If your lane is closing ahead, it is better for everyone in traffic if you drive all the way to the end of the lane and cut in at the last moment.

Note that this does not apply to exit lanes. The basic rule is if late merging blocks someone from going somewhere, merge early. Otherwise, merge as late as you can.

No pretty sure they're me.

It started happening on other sites too. I think it's the "Yet Another Smooth Scrolling WE" I had installed in Firefox acting up. Disabling the plugin and scrolling has improved.

Yo momma so fat she sat on a binary tree and squashed it into a linked list in O(1) time.

Something poetic and quaint about a link to a Wikipedia article titled "Tree"

Is it because the amps are high

Yes. I don't know about for motorcycles, but in a car, it's like hundreds of amps. That's a lot of fucking amps.

I think when I first saw this comic, the punchline was "what's a four?" which I find funnier.

Not as good as the one in the video. Having them spread apart makes it too easy to interpret when the cup is vertical.
