I was talking to my wife, and three times in a row I called the shower a "closet" and it just kept happening, while I got mad and she laughed at me.

Does saying the wrong word make me incompetent?

But anyway biden is still too old and it's embarrassing that he's our "pick", I agree.

That last one hit best.

I'll constantly make entire spreadsheets to analyze the most random things, and then I get annoyed when my wife doesn't want to hear the summary and conclusion.

Even biological code can compile randomly at times!

it's still unfathomable that trump was "allowed" (I know it was "legal", don't point that out) to pardon his literal partners-in-crime. He basically has already self-pardoned himself by proxy by allowing these traitors to walk free.

I can't believe they tore it down just for some games.

That's an excellent analogy, to say "you can buy palworld for that" which really makes it hit different for me.

It shows you how absurd it is, even with it being optional. It's still absurd.

holy cow... no kidding! Hype was only building - and then to "reveal" the enshitification before it even enjoys release interest. wow.

I was at least happy to see the kid survived.

like when the collective world went outside at the same time when Pokemon Go launched. Our quiet downtown area was amazing to walk through. all those people.

yeah, honestly, if you zoom out summary level, the whole thing is so confusing.

I'll admit I wasn't paying attention, so high-level he seemed like a Tony Stark, liberal darling: investing in space, internet access, electric cars, and solar. I mean, the dude was set to be a left-wing mascot. Boy was I an idiot. But I admit I wasn't paying close attention to any early flags.

Most of our packaging machines require < 1%, target <0.5% variance (both ways). Honestly in practice, over a whole batch the total variance is extremely tiny.

Add to this story the accuracy of a household, not-calibrated scale? Yeah I'd say this seems OK.

I want this chart, but add the third Z axis of "environmental cost" whether it be just CO2 emissions or a "total" impact score.

I imagine those legumes get even stronger, while the meats lose ranking.

Yesss! Ken M has graced Lemmy!

I can still sometimes "hear" ICQ, and that's going on almost 30 years ago now?

honestly the 'pardon' ability needs to go away completely. maybe it made sense before, and/or wasnt abused, but now it just seems prepped to be a tool to release your fellow felons in crime.

I need to look up how "insider trading" even works.

When you are the CEO, and you make decisions, and you own your own stock - wouldn't everything you ever do be with insider info? It is just honor system pinky-promise to act in good faith? I mean that sounds super effective.

it really blows my mind that there were absolutely no consequences for what they were doing out in the open like that. then again, it also feels like 'par for the course' given everything else in the last 6+ years.

So much for CNN being "liberal media"!

Is this one surprising to people?

my dad, who is quite overweight, would order the sweet potato french fries at Culver's, after I told him to eat healthier. My mom even supported him - "those are SWEET POTATO fries! that's healthy!". I told them that's not how it works, and it just made them angry.
