I want websites to all have a button that says “yeah you can sell my personal data but the website contractually agrees to give me half”

All those military pilots need to fly those aircraft regularly so their skills remain current, right? Might as well do it for an audience.

On my work laptop, Notepad used to have Copilot built in but now it doesn’t. So that’s a little scaling back

We learned during Covid that at least half of the country would kill not some stranger, but their neighbors and friends, and not for ten grand, but to avoid the mild discomfort of wearing a mask and social distancing

The 1GB Gmail storage was initially announced on April Fool’s Day and it was quite the topic of discussion whether it was real or not.

A year or two later they upped it to 2GB and also announced this on April 1

It had to get really, really, awfully, embarrassingly bad for me to leave Facebook. But it really was, and a few years ago I did. If Facebook was only half as awful as it is, I would probably still be on it.

And the sneaking suspicion that every social media site will eventually devolve into Facebook has kept me from joining any more.

I still use Youtube for videos on how to do DIY home projects and repairs, but I don’t consider that social media. To me, “social media” is not “an app that distributes content”. I would say “social media” has the user’s real name on it and is for the purpose of interacting with friends and family, and meeting new people. That’s definitely not what I use Youtube for.

My guidance counselor failed me so horribly

Of course not. We also don’t know if the thumbs up numbers aren’t completely fake.

That’s not even it

Han is the only one who shot at all

The design requires that you clear it and pull the trigger before disassembling it

This rule would make it impossible to clean a Glock

Five star rating system was dumb because almost every rating was 1 or 5 stars. It was right to replace with a thumbs up/thumbs down system.

They stopped showing the number of thumbs down. They did not take away the thumbs down button.

You sit at a desktop in the kitchen to use the computer. If you have shown yourself to be responsible you know your password.

The wifi shuts off at bedtime.

My 11-12-13 year old kids have Apple Watches for communication purposes but no smartphones. These are charged all together in a locked pantry at night.

I have four natural born kids and all of them had their Vitamin K shots, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I trust my doctors’ recommendations on what course of action is best, knowing that there are risks and benefits to any medical treatment, and we do these treatments because the benefits outweigh the risks.

With that said, the article doesn’t mention that the risk of the vitamin K shot is that the newborn’s bilirubin levels can be raised far enough that they have to be treated for it. One of my daughters had to be blindfolded and put under a very bright blue light for several hours or maybe it was overnight, which is not a nice thing to see your newborn go through.

But it is surely better than seeing them bleed to death.

I bet you eat your pizza with a knife and fork

More like “I am obsessed with GenZ doing this”

Did the shooter have a criminal history to screen for? I haven’t heard that if there was.

I think it would be infeasible to physically search the luggage of potentially thousands of people staying at the hotel. And they can’t tell all the hotel guests they can’t go into the hotel they paid for.

Did it get breached? I’m reading some places that the shooter was stopped far from the event, on a different floor of the hotel, outside of a security check he would have had to get through to get to the event.

TIL that song is by Queen. I had no idea. So definitely an appropriate song for this discussion!
