I have no sources for this so take with a grain of salt… But I’ve heard that Tesla turns off self driving just before an accident so they can say it was the drivers fault. Now in this case, if it was on while it drove on the tracks I would think would prove it’s Tesla’s faulty self driving plus human error for not correcting it. Either way it would prove partly Tesla’s fault if it was on at the time.

I could get loads of cool liquors I’ve been eyeing for experimentation! Or like… one reeeeeally nice scotch.

Yep that’s the one! Thanks for the Lemmy reference!

I wonder how far you can push this? Like there was a whole subreddit (can’t remember the name) that was dedicated to news that seems positive on the surface but is actually fucked up when you take 2 seconds to think. Could you just get chatgpt to come up with a way to positively frame the worst shit specifically to bait adds next to it?

I had a “Big meeting” last week. It went more like

1/2 day of adjusting the deck, a dry run, tweaks, feedback, wow I’m doing great this meeting is going to go great I’m so prepared!

10 minutes after meeting starts… Important individual: “Let me stop you right there”, boss takes over meeting, meeting details.

1/2 day of anxiety about how I did my best and it still wasn’t enough, and also how “Important individual” is an asshole and really just didn’t give a shit about the meeting in the first place. And to be clear… THEY REQUESTED THE MEETING WTF!!!

You just can’t win sometimes.

This might be the best way I’ve ever seen to get people to clean up after their dog.

Lol ok I feel dumb after looking at the comments. I thought you meant like… On rollercoaster rides or something.

I feel like the answer to this question will depend on your location and what you’re used to seeing. I personally grew up in the Chicago suburbs and then moved to Chicago and the difference in choices at the grocery store is night and day. Not only are there far more niche items, but there are also more stores to select from. So if one store doesn’t have something, I simply go to another. But I also have noticed that if I’m out in the rural areas, it’s pretty strictly the basics. There’s also a big difference between regions. I have more variety in Chicago than in Phoenix and there’s certainly more variety in New York than Chicago. I haven’t noticed a drop off at my usual grocery stores, however…

I have noticed a large drop in variety specifically at box clothing outlets. There is less variety and less stocked sizes readily available. I think this is likely because of the proliferation of online shopping and corporations seeing this as an opportunity to save money by simply shipping less popular items to stores when people can order them online instead.

That’s just been my personal experience having traveled around a bit 🤷

Everybody to the limit Everybody to the limit Everybody, come on, fhqwhgads!

There’s actually a better way to get more garlic flavor into your dishes without adding more. The secret is to add the garlic at the last possible moment in the cooking process to reduce the garlic oxidation. The more it oxidizes the less flavor it has. It oxidizes the second you break the cell walls so waiting until the end of possible helps retain the flavor and make it more potent!

While that is what this looks like, both comment/post histories just look like normal accounts to me.

I was going to say, I didn’t have Internet until college we still had CD-ROMs, game consoles, and of course the public library for Internet when needed. Not that these options aren’t excellent free entertainment.

I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but the real trick to managing pests in your home, is to allow the right predator pests to exist. The best ones are spiders and centipedes. Centipedes are especially the best because they won’t ever hurt you, they mostly stay out of sight, and they don’t leave webs hanging around. But when you do see one you will probably freak the fuck out. You just have to remember that they eat earwigs and mites and such and try not to kill them. Spiders are also great to keep around, but there should be a big asterisk about how I live in Illinois and most spiders are harmless here.

You mean they “w” don’t know.

I had a super cool N64 film camera that I took with me to sleepovers and took lots of shitty photos with because I was a dumbass kid that didn’t know anything about photography.

My childhood dog was a rescue that was originally a stray dog. This dog would catch flies right out of the air! It didn’t take long for us to discover that he was so fast, nothing ever touched the ground. I once lost a whole waffle to him when it slipped off my plate and went seemingly direct into his mouth.

Nothing will wake you up faster than the sound of your pet throwing up

Just saw Elephant Man at the Music Box Theatre. Incredibly moving film if you haven’t seen it. They’re currently running a film series on David Lynch and that was the first of his films I had ever seen. Planning to see more this week if I can!

I genuinely don’t know how chipotle has survived this long when excellent family run Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen all over the country and are super cheap to boot. I’ve tried it a few times and just never understood what people liked about it that you can’t get at your local Mexican joint.

The feeling is even better when they let you go because you no longer have a moral obligation to transition anything over to your coworkers. You can just fuck off and not feel bad. This typically highlights all the holes in management when they are ineffective at delegating your tasks and things get dropped. My husband witnessed this happen recently. They let an employee go nearly a year ago, then a client started sending emails wondering what was happening to their project and why there hadn’t been communication.
