When the next Democratic president waves their hand you can be sure the Supreme Court will do its duty and say that waving is not part of presidential powers and block whatever it is they want to do.

Nearly every time they investigate, the person mixed up the pedal and the brake. When the car starts accelerating, in their panic they push said "brake" (actually the pedal) harder, and keep pushing it to the floor trying to stop the car.

Then these people shouldn't be driving. If they are unable to put their foot on the correct pedal, what else aren't they doing?

The demise of the sitck shift rears its head again.

Still no button to turn off all notifications of updates. Something so simple which Firefox used to have is now a distant memory.

And yes, I will bring this up in every Firefox article. No, I don't want to hear how I can make changes somewhere deep in the settings. They had it for 15+ years. Considering all the time and effort they're putting into this stuff, they can put it back.

I find this whole conversation amusing because it is one group who has explicitly said one particular group shouldn't be allowed to go schools with the other. In fact, that same group went after the other group by using police, police dogs, fire hoses, and even guns.

And yet, we're to believe this group suddenly wants everyone to be treated equally.

That only works for one item at most. Savvy shoppers would strategically buy combinations of items that always round down.

There is no such thing. Stores will adjust their prices to make sure they always round up.

This is inflation as prices will rise.

The Sonder site is still up and appears to be functional. I never got to see if there were still listings as having to unblock the 20+ scripts and who knows how much other cruft wasn't worth my time.

One would think taking down the site or at least putting up a message would be one of the first things to do when you're going out of business. But then, when your web site has that much cruftiness, maybe they couldn't figure out how to change anything.

Back in my day we called 'em shills.

Something which makes it easier and more convenient for people to file taxes cannot be tolerated.

Whatever it takes, you will pay. That is their goal.

Naw. Somehow, this will be Obama or Hillary's fault.

We cannot even agree not to do wars that are essentially just stealing from others.

Nonsense. My people lived on that land centuries ago even though others were already there so it's my land by default. It's not stealing. I'm just taking back what is mine.

2007/8 was also the result of fraud and the interdependence of the banking and rating system. For a study on how this worked and what happened, you can read this paper.

Also, I distinctly remember banks giving a loan to anyone with a pulse despite the rules saying otherwise as well as double or even triple mortgaging the same property.to different people.

As for the banks, it did end badly, right up to the moment the taxpayers were once again held at gunpoint and told to hand over their money. That is why Bear Stearns is no longer around. Unfortunately, others involved weren't allowed to fail as well.

If I tell you to buy 'Y' from Amazon using my account, I have given authorization for that purchase even though it is not me, the owner of the account, making the purchase.

In a similar fashion, Perplexity can claim the user telling their software to make the purchase is no different. That it is not a human is irrelevant. The owner of the account has given permission to make the purchases.

Keep cutting down trees and paving over grass. What could possibly go wrong?

How to make succulent looking eggs or giant mechanized robots?

He says he doesn't think college is worth it, yet his company is being run by people who went to college and then graduate school.

Or does he think all that AI stuff is just pulled off a cereal box?
