One “so” is sufficient acknowledgment Captain.

We did the same but with Special K in a blender, and held a magnet to the side of the blender’s cup.

My coworker just bought a car and was stoaked he only paid $3000 over sticker price.

Louis CK is the most Carlin like imo. His bits on O&A were pure genius. Rogan’s comedy is garbage tier.

LA probably has more laws about fishing from piers than Phoenix does too. Places with higher gun crime rates combat that with gun laws.

They could just ban the manner of data collection that TikTok does, but that would affect all the US social media apps too.

I had never heard of Wolf Warrior, looks sick! Thanks!

It absolutely does not. If a package gets delivered to your house by mistake and you sell whatever it is, you are 100% liable for stealing someones mail. Doesn’t matter if you didn’t think the people would ever come for it and you didn’t mean to steal anything.

We should be investing in researching longer lasting vaccines. The current mRNA vaccines only give their full protection for about 4 months. Moderna and Pfizer are making insane money by peddling boosters. Here’s a great piece from OPB about the topic.

Remember that a lot of people couldn’t vote. Either because of voter registration rolls getting purged or disenfranchisement from a criminal charge.

She recorded a bunch of phonetic sounds so that her voice could be used in future iterations of Star Trek. Google bought her voice to use as the voice for Google Assistant (ok google), but they never implemented it.

Its just so simple. I see people complaining about getting Nvidia drivers to work on Linux, with Mint it takes like two clicks.

What ever happened to the Ubuntu mobile OS?

This is why passenger train travel is abysmal in the US. Amtrak owns almost none of the tracks they operate on. When the trains are running there are consistent hour+ delays due to waiting for freight trains to pass. Amtrak built a “shortcut” in the Tacoma area to bypass a lot of the Seattle/Tacoma area rail yards. The first train on it derailed from taking the first corner twice as fast as it was supposed to.

I tried to take a train from Portland to Seattle in April. Amtrak sent me a text the day before the trip saying “All trains are cancelled due to weather, a bus will be provided for you.” I got a robocall the next morning saying the same, but to stay on the line to talk to an operator. After about an hour hold the customer service agent said, “Yeah there was a landslide and its blocking the tracks. There won’t be a bus, there never was going to be a bus, I don’t know why the system sent that message out. Would you like a refund?” It ended up being the same price to just rent a car for the weekend.

Unfortunately I lost my shirt that I paid a fucking whole bitcoin for.

Uber jacks up prices in “airport zones” to an insane degree. For example an Uber from Seattle to Sea-Tac is about $75. I rented a car in Portland, drove up to Seattle for the weekend, and drove myself to the airport for $60. An Amtrak ticket from Portland- Seattle is around $40 usually.

This doesn’t work everywhere, but when I’m flying back into PDX (the best airport) I’ll take the light rail public transit two stops and get a ride share from the Target parking lot. Ends up being about half the price once you’re far enough away.

How do we deal with the areas with no people living in them?

I’m mostly joking, but an extreme proposal like this would probably only take effect in metropolitan areas. 80%+ of Americans live in an urban setting. Electric trains and busses in the city, electric trucks in the country.

Not sure about that specific model, but manual/standard cars use transmission oil. I have a VW Tdi 5 speed and its similar engine oil but its a wacky oil weight. Automatic transmission fluid is totally different. It has detergent in it which is why new stuff will break down any old gunk that has built up.

Back in the what.cd days I got started by just buying albums on the bounty page.

The quickest way is to get a seedbox and write a script to download new releases from the tracker. I built up a few TB of upload credit when Game of Thrones was at its peak by downloading episode torrents minutes after they were released.
