That video has a rich, complex undertone of depression. Mmmm that depression is smooth. You know, I find this video to be a real go-to for when I want that bouquet of isolation and denial. I just keep coming back to watch it again and again.

Amazon entirely dominated by white label products from Alibaba, though. Where are you going to find a WXTMO Potato Peeler for cheaper and with better service?

I just skip amazon entirely. The search really isn’t useful anymore.

Not trying to be a dick here, but do you honestly think that you, a non-expert who likely doesn’t even practice in ecology or environmental sciences, are the authority here on whether any studies have attempted to account for the water consumption based on the feed variety and sources?

Because if you thought of it as a way to shoot down a random internet comment, then the experts who work in the field have certainly done so and followed through with those calculations already. Have you ever met a professor? They fucking love to tear apart arguments because it gets their names into publications and that’s how they earn tenure and notoriety for grant funding.

Cab companies can afford to hire a dedicated mechanic to handle those kinds of problems. That makes even more sense when you consider they purchase mostly similar models over the years. An individual finding a transmission problem will take it to somewhere that is likely inexperienced with those problems and they get overcharged as a result.

Depending on your location, many municipalities are starting to cover the costs of installing EV charging stations at apartments. They usually ask you to pay a monthly fee for the service.

I’ve had a suspicion for a few years about this phenomenon. I know that simply recording audio and transmitting it for processing to serve ads is a violation of the federal wiretapping laws. I know they know it too.

So do they get around it by doing the processing locally on the device? So the phone effectively has tens of thousands of wake words that are trained for different things. “I want a big truck” -> phone parses that out “big” “truck” and sends those words up to google in a keyword dump. So technically it isnt wiretapping. Right?

Plus, it avoids the security researchers who use wireshark to monitor those devices. They are looking for audio streams, not a keyword dump that is encrypted and can be sent asynchronously at a later date in a much smaller file size.

Yeah it’s not like these companies that do shady/illegal shit to save money go out and hire the best PIs and exCIA ops to find people who shit talk them. They use google and type in their business name with an extra word or two about their bad actions to find people who shit talk them.

Yeah I’m just gonna have to take my old reddit strategy of rolling a new account once a month.

Aren’t the MSRP tags ordered by the store as a separate item to trick you into thinking the prices are legitimately that high?

JFC dude take a picture with your phone, erase the metadata, and submit it to your government. That’s so unbelievably wrong.

That sounds like a Stingray.
