How dumb do you have to be to think that was a good idea?

Better is better. Everything else is just silly pointless judgment

Aspirin is an NSAID

Known as acetaminophen (Tylenol) in the US

Lowest of the low. You have to be a truly terrible person to steal money from hard working low-paid people

If i could freeze technology at a particular era it wouldn’t be the 80s. I think i would pick some time after social media existed but before it was weaponized. So like maybe early 2010’s. Up through about the early 2010s it seemed like tech was constantly making life better, but since then it seems like tech is increasingly making life worse

Just because a show was “filmed in front of a live studio audience” that doesn’t meant it didn’t have a laugh track as well. Lots of shows filmed in front of a studio audience ALSO added tons of laugh track

You’ve misread. She is and has been in a mental health facility this whole time.

Just to clarify, are you talking about preserving stuff that was already on the Internet, or are you talking about like paper cookbooks and other digital materials? Because for Internet materials archive.org backs up the entire web, including all the recipes.

America is so widely spaced out that there are some huge stretches of mostly empty highways, so the only feasible way to monitor for speeders is by helicopter watching over the massive stretches of road. Or at least that’s how it used to be, these days i bet they are increasingly just using cameras

That’s so odd, i thought usually sports car speedometers go higher than the car is actually able to achieve in order to trick people into thinking it’s actually capable of going that fast. But now that i think about it i guess that was just an assumption

I was once on an empty road that was straight all the way to the horizon and i got it up to 100. I woulda gone higher but my passenger didn’t want to

“upgrade”

DAMN DAMN DAMN

We do have those things. That’s how many technologies already work.

I don’t know anything about cars, is it possible to switch modes at the press of a button? If so, how instantaneous is the change? Like could i have it in fast acceleration mode when I’m gonna do a difficult highway on-ramp, and then switch to fuel economy mode once I’m at cruising speed?

I didn’t know about that one either!

I know this is off topic, but - why didn’t anyone tell me there’s a species called a raccoon dog?!

Parsing that headline took a few tries, especially with the picture of a fenced off bus parking lot. At first i read it as an actual guard dog being able to more frequently find black girls’ faces.
