128·12 days ago- An overly simplistic/naive view of the world. (Not sure what they expect here? Stopping weapons and technology transfer? Maybe the US going to war with Israel to stop the Gaza atrocities? Or are they just expecting something symbolic? If Harris publicly denounced Israel’s actions, would that be enough?)
- Thinking that the US President has more power than they do in reality (Congress and the Courts, checks and balances)
- Some logical fallacies they’ve convinced themselves into believing. False Dilemma Fallacy maybe? https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/common-logical-fallacies
Only a Sith deals in absolutes
Yes.
My doctor recommended a pre-emptive supository for the inevitable constipation tho.
18·19 days agoCan’t blame people for assuming the worst after YouTube removed the star system and then dislikes.
There’s no good way to see if a video is trash. Especially if comments are disabled.
6·26 days agoAudi Pre-Sense was the worst offender. Looks like many others have similar experiences even this year:
I had a Nissan after that that implemented it a lot better, never any slam the brakes events. It would warn you with a beep and apply light braking first.

Agree with the automakers that the tech isn’t ready.
The article doesn’t mention how many times these cars slammed the brakes in false positive situations.
The cars I’ve driven with this are too conservative with braking in a lot of common scenarios like driving curvy mountain roads, or parallel parking in the city near pedestrians or taxis. I’ve had it brake multiple times in normal driving scenarios wtirh false positives.
The car takes over and decides to full stop immediately, almost causing me to be rear ended multiple times. Eventually the dealership turned off the feature, but only after multiple complaints from customers and media attention.
I vowed to never get another car with this system because of how bad the experience is. But looks like that may be an option only with used cars, due to the bew mandates.
10·28 days agoMaybe try eating 4-5 smaller meals a day? “Grazing” rather than large filling meals

I’ve seen Sceptre recommended whenever this question pops up. https://www.sceptre.com/
I’ve also had a lot of fun using a projector in the living room as a display (with blackout curtains on the windows) but it may require some care to make the bulb last longer. And it was a bit annoying trying to figure out how to get audio and video working for consoles/laptops. I think you might need some kind of HDMI splitter and speakers to get audio and video working properly?
Another useful search term is “Display” or “Commercial Display” instead of “TV”
These “Displays” will be TV’s without any of the bloatware and spyware, but may be missing features like refresh rates, picture quality, etc.

Not answering your question, but avoid Roku like the plague
The article mentions Kairos Power but doesn’t mention that their reactors in development are molten-salt cooled. While they’ll still use Uranium, its a great step in the right direction for safer nuclear power.
If development continues on this path with thorium molten-salt fueled and cooled reactors, we could see safe and commercially viable nuclear (thorium) energy within our lifetimes.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-06/china-building-thorium-nuclear-power-station-gobi/104304468
To my layman’s knowledge, using thorium molten-salt instead of uranium means the reactor can be designed in a way where it can’t melt down like Chernobyl or Fukushima.
Edit: The other implication of not using uranium is that the leftover material is harder to make in to bombs, so the technology around molten-salt thorium reactors could be spread to current non-nuclear states to meet their energy needs and reduce reliance on coal plants around the planet.
1·1 month agoI’ll try again this year. No room inside so I’ll put up some clear plastic bags around em and try to make a makeshift greenhouse for those days below freezing.
I did it too late last year and they all died. No room inside to bring em in.
And the sugar one looks like a Subway cookie
I’ve heard locals call it “Lake No Negro”
