someone has a job to collect them and unless the parking lot is even close to full there’s no risk for any vehicles getting damaged from a few dozen loose carts.
- Comment on Basic courtesy 4 days ago:
what signs? Only a few stores have any signs explicitly mentioning where carts should go, it’s just typically common sense that it shouldn’t go in the middle of the road.

- Comment on Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet? 5 days ago:
It’s almost as if volte being a* proprietary technology hurts consumers and a lack of emergency test numbers (numbers that use the emergency system but are just for testing that it works) makes things harder.
*potentially multiple technologies
- Comment on Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet? 5 days ago:
To be fair, phone books are far from common in the USA anymore, and DNS is a far more interacted with technology than old school caller id.

I’m surprised that even VHS-decode has only experimental SECAM support It’s as if SECAM was a niche format.

sometimes it’s not about solving the immediate problem, but about making sure it doesn’t happen again.
(literally “fixed” my alarm clock this week after it’s plug broke off in the outlet by giving it a $10 right angle plug that won’t be under any significant strain.)

cons: significantly more expensive, don’t work in total darkness, don’t catch attention
- Comment on To whomever invented LED bus advertisements: I despise you. 2 weeks ago:
freedom of expression does also matter, how much more distracting is this compared to if it was made with retroreflectors? Could these lights be confused for hazards? Is this any different than having a glowing “taxi” sign on a taxi?
- Comment on The new Hulu Subscriber agreement just dropped - Don't like ads too bad. 2 weeks ago:
yes, you can, and I would expect an “ad-free” service to do so, at minimum replace it with a “commercial break” sign and preferably adding extra commentary.

we need more innovation in the intersection of killing and fucking, perhaps by designing more realistic fuck-dolls that can have explosives rigged to them to trap and kill soldiers.
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 3 weeks ago:
USPS charges a not insignificant amount for shipping heavy items to Alaska (excluding media mail that frequently takes months and few retailers ever use). If physical stores sold anything at a reasreasonable price (aside from off season fishing /hunting /cold equipment) fewer people would use Amazon.
- Comment on I don't see the problem. It's A tree. It's not THE tree. 3 weeks ago:
I also believe it to be the former, however I love the idea of the latter as it would be a great example of how not to use image generation models.

- Comment on If you save, we will charge you more 5 weeks ago:
if solar was incentivized to have batteries, power factor correction, and (if the power companies can shut off the connection at the house during service to prevent backfeding) use frequency correcting inverters.
- Comment on If you save, we will charge you more 5 weeks ago:
Exactly why personal solar energy will hit a tipping point as the rates rise drastically as more users use zero to negative energy. Those that cannot afford solar will suffer, but the Environmental impact will probably be reduced.

There is a minimum competency required for using a semi experimental taxi service. Accepting incompetence should not be done when the incompetent individual is a “influencer”.

- Comment on "Free" Speech Absolutist™ 1 month ago:
like it or not goverment official accounts, and official news accounts are things some people care about and there are few platforms that have as many as Twitter or Facebook /meta.
- Comment on "Free" Speech Absolutist™ 1 month ago:
few other platforms have ad much diversity in their hatred and negativity, community notes are funny, watching things slowly get worse is also interesting.

if a patient goes to a hospital and is suicidal they almost always are made to stay because they are deemed “a threat to their safety”.
