Best “car guy” trope I’ve ever heard is that BMW signals work fine and the drivers use them. They just emit a spectrum of light that the poors can’t see.

As a BMW driver myself, I’m on the opposite end of that spectrum. I signal my intent to an obnoxious degree. If I get into an accident, the other motorist can’t claim they didn’t know where I was going.

Worth a read for anyone who thinks AI may be sentient, or for those trying to pop the psychosis bubble of an buddy.

The law does not require photo ID uploadsor facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age, setting AB 1043 apart from similar laws passed in Texas and Utah that require "commercially reasonable" verification methods, such as government-issued ID checks.

Seems toothless. Good.

True Detective, season 1

Honestly, my heart goes out to all these people. Every person on both sides of this senseless invasion is a person. They have parents who probably love them and want to see them again. Friends, siblings likely.

Also, Russia has a long history of conscription, right? I’m wondering how many of these soldiers want to be there.

So much senseless violence and loss of life on both sides, and for what? It’s gross.

Holy shit, they get a LAMP?!

..now? They just did this now? What was the inflection point?

Benn Jordan did a great video on this: https://youtu.be/vU1-uiUlHTo

Certain companies have tried this in a heads-up fashion: offer both the USA made option and one made overseas. The catch is the one made in the USA is 3x more expensive.

0% of people bought the USA-made one.

Also, it’s a few years old so the numbers would be more stark.

Right. Show up and do the needful.

I’ve seen armed “guards” and my polling station before and it’s unsettling to say the least.

Say no words. Just vote.

Not to nitpick, but the article says Andrew Callaghan is a conservative media personality. IMO he’s far from conservative. I’d appreciate other’s thoughts on this.

His interview series with Hunter is pretty eye opening. Worth a watch.

Also, yes, I would pay to watch Hunter, a former crack addict, absolutely embarrass the silver spoon twins.

I just got an induction cook top and it’s amazing. WAY more efficient than alternatives, better indoor air quality as compared to gas. One problem: can’t cook if the power is out. Good ideas all around.

I’ve totally fallen for markdown. I want more normies to know about it.

All the nice things about rich text with none of the Word.

Totally agree. We’re the most prosperous country in the world but we basically fail all social health markers. Literacy rates, quality of healthcare, infrastructure, deaths during child birth…all these are inferior to many European countries with a fraction of our GDP. It’s shameful. We can and should do better.

The major takeaway: wealth does not equal a good life.

Herniated L3/L4. No chair has helped me. Only things that have are

• sit/stand desk
• movement (the best position is the next position)
• dead hangs, progressed to pull ups
• deadlift, slow progression, perfect form. Teaches proper lift positioning and bracing to execute successfully.
• same for squats

Not medical advice in any way. These are just the things that have helped me immensely. If you take any lifting advice off the Internet, get a coach.

I know if my back starts to hurt it’s because I’m not doing one or all of them enough.

Not leveraging solar energy, which abundant , decentralized, and is the cheapest unit of energy there is.

Why not put solar over parking lots? We have ridiculous minimum parking requirements in the US. Why not lattice them in solar panels and derive energy from them?
