Errr, hearing aids are significantly larger with standard hearing aid batteries being larger than airpods themselves,

No, they're not. My dad has hearing aids and they are about the same size as an airpod.

For reference, this is close to, but not the same as, what he has. This shows the size of the various airpod models. They are not "significantly larger" than a hearing aid, and in fact are nearly identical in size.

Like seriously that is an insanely ignorant example. Cheese also contains calcium so what excuse does chalk have for not being used as a sandwich topping?

Yes, your example is insanely ignorant. Cheese is a food. Chalk is not.

this idiot thinks that ending DST is going to somehow make the amount of sunlight change

This will continue until consumers fight back.

Simple solution: don't buy tickets

Oh right, that's too simple. It will never be done.

it's a bot farming for a attention.

It's funny how everyone is a "bot" when they post something. Generally, when that is said, the person responding has nothing useful to counter the post so goes with some generic nonsense to make themselves sound like they know something.

It's a trade off: you get abundant free energy to run the server, with extreme constraints on cooling because your server is running in the most perfect Thermos bottle ever.

Others are taking the opposite tack: undersea data centers for abundant free cooling at the expense of having to get the power down to your servers.

If had to bet on which one is more practial, I'd go with undersea servers. Build them off the coast of Chile, run cables out from batery-backed solar plants in the Atacama desert.

This story has the wonderful title, Fidji Simo says Mark Zuckerberg gave her one piece of health advice years ago, and she wishes she had listened.

In short, she was so excited to have hit her dream job at the age of 40, that work-life balance never entered the picture. Now she's a multi-milionaire who will, probably, spend the rest of her life struggling to have something approaching a normal life.

In Wyoming, a contractor working to build Meta's data center, discharged untreated water into the municipal water system which led to the introduction of Cupriavidus gilardii into the water system.

You know, there are these things called yard sales and flea markets where you can get forks, or entire sets, for less than what you pay on Amazon.

Instead of an itemized list of what you bought and how much each item cost, all you'll get is a final bill. Pay it or else.

Sound stupid? So is this.

BBC Science has an article where experts ranked 400 jobs by their dementia risk. Those least likely to die from Alzheimer's were taxi drivers and ambulance drivers. The reason behind this seems to be that constant spatial and navigation processing tasks might offer some protection from Alzheimer's.

The authors do have one caveat: While researchers found that taxi and ambulance drivers were less likely to die of Alzheimer's, they were also more likely to die young.

That's an issue because Alzheimer's is a disease that becomes more likely the older you get. If people in those professions aren't living long enough to get Alzheimer's, that could explain some of the results.

"The paper isn't an advert for becoming a taxi driver - unfortunately they're dying earlier" Spiers says. "Importantly, however, the researchers reran their analysis correcting for age and still found a significant effect."

It seems using your brain other than for existence might help stave off mental decline.

Ever notice how the people on the left calling for Sharia law, would be the first to be thrown off of buildings if it were ever implemented?

Hey dumbass, it's those Red states trying their best to implement Sharia law through forcing the Bible into the classroom (but no other religious texts), displaying the ten commandments in schools (which they ignore), telling women what they can wear, telling women they must have babies, and a whole host of other things they're trying to force down people's throats.

As always, every accusation is a confession with you people.

Have you listened to the way people talk? I wouldn't want to listen to it either.

Middle-range drones are in use because anti-aircraft measures have gotten so good.

No. The lack of anti-aircraft measures is why middle-range drones are being used so extensively. Ukraine put a lot time and effort into degrading Russian AA, whether radar systems, S-300/400/500, Pantsir, or anything else. The last number I saw was about 1,700 AA of all types damaged or destroyed.

Once AA is reduced, this opens corridors for drones/missiles, which is exactly what Ukraine is doing. Crimea is now essentially an island, with supplies rapidly dwindling and people fleeing while they can. Moscow has three rings of AA to try (and faling) to protect itself. Meanwhile, oil refineries the length and breadth of Russia are going up in flames each week.

Ukraine does have Baba Yaga drones (heavy drones which can carry multiple, large mortars/bombs), and those are being used to take out fortified positions.

Single-use drones are stil highly in use, which is what a middle-range drone is.

I think it may be evidence that Amazon has a shitty corporate culture that squeezes every penny it can out its employees.

Corruption can happen anywhere, but it's more likely to happen in totalitarian cultures where people feel like the system is rigged anyway. That's why countries like Russia and China have corruption problems. But I suspect the same feelings of me vs. the system occur in a capitalist enterprise like Amazon where employees are governed by dystopian, rigid, computerized metrics.
