In HS photography class the teacher gave us CD-RW discs to use as flash drives to keep our pictures on and they actually lasted all semester using them every day.

A lot of malls in Asia have signs that say not to walk on the escalators. So yeah I guess if it breaks you're SOL if the people in front of you aren't rule breakers.

If the conditions are still the same that cause people to want to ask for a 4 day work week, then people will keep asking!

In HS trig class I asked the teacher what was the actual logic behind the tan function, and she said "well it's just programmed into your calculator" and I said I realized that but how did it work, she told me to go ask the AP calc teacher.

The YouTube viewing experience on FF is terrible. I have premium no ads and still manage to break the interface occasionally by clicking a new video or seeking the video playing.

This does happen though when they cc me on an email that has nothing to do with me, and expect me to dig through the whole thread to see why it's relevant.

It's like the movie Sliding Doors, except it's a pocket door to your parents guest bathroom.

How do these people watch conspiratorial content and miss the fact that pale male European colonialism literally is the conspiracy?

The part about remote work that has caused things to stagnate is that most companies still aren't setup to hire out of their own state. So it's not done much to open the gate to opportunities that are a great fit and can be done remotely, because I'm in the wrong state. And there's still an attitude of "what would somebody in that place possibly know about things here". The likelihood I will ever be domiciled in the same place as where my perfect job happens to be is super unlikely. This is 95% employers just discriminating based on location because they don't want to do paperwork or have an open mind and 5% not having the benefit of in-person collaboration.

This is definitely how they do it, as someone who has a Walmart account and usually buys through the app. If I buy something in store with one of my linked cards, it stores the receipt in my account (and then asks me to review it)

I started learning how to program when I asked myself how I could setup one web page template and include the content instead of copying the menus and logos on every page. Most people will never be observant enough to consider this might be how most big websites function, or how/why they would develop anything. There's a tall gate that some people just walk right over.

To them a vacuum is probably a soul sucking machine that traps the scents of the people he loves into an invisible void.

SS: Single use plastics legislation and plastics treaties in the works could dramatically lower the amount of plastic products firms are allowed to produce in the near future.

 

SS: Microsoft wants total control over console and PC gaming.

 

SS: Tesla isn't a brand or aesthetic for the everyman, and Ford thinks it can do much better brining electric vehicles to the mainstream American market

 

For me, it's the donut shops.
