To at least some extent we’ve already got the remote feeling thing with haptic suits, though they’re still rather pricey for most at the moment. Also not sure how great their functionality is since I’ve never tried any myself.

Good luck running your ideal society on all gig jobs. I predict total collapse of infrastructure within the first six months.

I’m not trying to huwt yur feewsies, I’m saying you can’t run an advanced society on gig work. I’m sorry reality is a thing.

No.

Or we could start by getting rid of that fucking police fraternity and raising our quality standards for who gets hired as an officer.

Don’t mess with the Swifties, Donny. Of all the dumb shit you’ve done you’re really playing with fire now.

Go ahead, steal my identity. See if you have any better luck with it.

I keep all my credit reports frozen. These days, everyone should.

“Sweet, I’ll put it in mine!”

This one?

What that tells me is they have such high employee turnover that their application process is just a disguised pool of warm bodies to pull from as needed. I’d avoid diving in if at all possible.

Biggest issue I and my friends have with my Plex server is the constant buffer-play-for-a-minute-buffer issue with certain anime subtitle formats. Although the little bit of searching I’ve done with that indicates that may be more of an issue with the device being streamed on than with Plex itself. I dunno.

Redirected to banggood.com. With a URL like that you’d expect porn, but it looks to be an Amazon ripoff.

ETA: subsequent clicks took me to dhgate.com, another shady shopping site. They probably run multiple sites and the link sends you to some sort of roulette thing that spits you out on one of them.

If people have taken any offense we are, of course, really, really sorry.

“This…… former president…”

They had to lower the bar to Hell since some of their saints are there. For example, Mother Teresa’s down there jilling off to torture porn.

Unfortunately this method only works if you already know where the toilet is.

That was specifically the orcas going after boat rudders. This is just a couple of dinguses that got too close to a whale.

We need a reincarnation of Carl Sagan. He was a great science communicator.

No engine immobilizer was the ultimate issue. And from what I understand, it was just an issue with models sold in the US, so all this misery was caused by a manufacturer’s cost saving measure.

ETA: To clarify, the cause was a manufacturer’s cost saving measure enabled by the US regulations’ lack of a requirement for engine immobilizers.

Such a helpful employee!

Oh? Who’s the new one?

ETA: I got woosh’d, didn’t I? I just came off night shift and it’s not even 8AM. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

She did get her kid back. It’s in the article.

He’ll get a promotion by the time his police frat bros are done fucking the system.

Unreasonable assumption. The usual prenatal appointments are a recommendation, not a requirement. Many people don’t go to them, especially if they’ve already had kids and are familiar with the process.

Ah, good point! That’s also the impression I get from his work. His Netflix series was pretty much written for adults who watched him on PBS as kids.

My hypothesis on this is they just don’t want to facilitate moving money out of their bank to another one. Moving money between accounts held by the same bank is usually much easier. The major US banks are for-profit businesses, after all.

Alternative hypothesis - US banks aren’t implementing new features because they’re mostly all still running on ancient IBM mainframes.

Why does he insist on wearing such comically long ties?

Put your head in the database butthole and receive the lethal dose of the diarrhea of knowledge!

Another one? You don’t say.

If I had kids, I’d feel much safer leaving them in the care of drag queens over any clergy.

I’d guess a result of the dumber criminals not knowing what specific models are vulnerable. This fiasco tainted the entire brand.

I mean if you want to be blasé about the fact not everyone has the same technical skills as you, sure…

I at least enjoy their fiber internet service.

One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble! Gooble gobble! One of us!

Restaurant wasn’t in a ticketed park. The tickets are as relevant as the D+ trial.

Is it really worth the cost after 144 Hz, though? Are there applications for a higher refresh rate than the human eye can even see?

Aww, but spiders are bros!

She knew the update would take at least 24 minutes to run and the doors and windows electronics wouldn’t work in the interim. And she still chose to do this in a Chic-fil-A parking lot while out running errands instead of initiating the update at home after she was done using the car.

I bet you can hear the ocean if you press your ear to hers…

Just type it up on the White House letterhead and you’re probably good to go.
