You know what they say about assuming . . .

Plus, assuming isn't science.

Did they also do a round to determine the best drip coffee? And the best drip coffee maker.

I mean, really, if you compare the best instant against the worst drip, made in a decade old Mr. Coffee that's never been cleaned, or even had the mold scraped out, yeah, the drip will win just for not being . . . lumpy.

(Not that I care about toxic bean waste to begin with. All coffee tastes like ass. I'll never understand how anything that smells that good can taste that bad.)

But you'll have to buy the wall wart separately, it won't come with the car.

We'll be seeing EVs with USB-C charging ports.

But generally with considerably more oversight, and generally run by people who have actually studies economics (even if they don't really understand it), rather than pot smoking frat boys who think it's funny to rip people off.

Other than having no actual value whatsoever, except what you con out of people below you in the pyramid, sure.

Like it or hate it, approve of disapprove, if it (ever) works, it will be used.

Standing in the way of progress is a sure fire way to be run over by it.

"Go fast and break things." I think they do. They just don't care, because they believe (usually righty) that the risk is to someone else.

That this is even possible is pretty conclusive proof that the basic design of their entire system is a scam. They didn't mine $300 trillion is scam coins, they simply created it in the equivalent of typing numbers into a spreadsheet and saying "voila!"

The fact that BMI categories do not take into account age, or sex, is one, or rather two, of the biggest reasons why it's so deeply flawed. Any standard that says that men and women of the same height should have the same weight is dangerous quackery.

When you change the cutoff overweight from 27.5 to 25, the absolute number of people who are now overweight will go up.

It's not rocket science.

There are several studies that show that people who are in the BMI category of "Normal" have a shorter life expectancy than people who are "Overweight."

Not the first time. The standards for BMI were changed in the 90s, creating millions of new obese people to sell weight loss drugs to.

Con artists looking for marks.

Because it's not about not using Microsoft, it's about controlling what is used.

Do you really believe the officially sanctioned, government controlled word processor doesn't report back on everything written in it, with particular attention paid to a list of keywords?

Even NPR knows it's changing as quickly as possible at this point, as a national security issue.

That's not incompetence, that's corruption. And it's not just tech bros, it's ubiquitous across our society, from top to bottom.
