Of course, if you give McDonalds any hints, they might throw em in a grider whole and start a new line of nuggets.

It’s far better at the use of there, their, and they’re.
The average US citizen couldn’t craft a professional sounding document of their life depended on it.
It’s not better than a professional at anything, The average human is far below that bar.

No, I’m explaining the timing. We went from it being acceptable to not doing it in a very short period of time. Delicious came out because parents couldn’t work out any way to control their kids but a physical means.
I’m well aware that Nordic countries treat their kids with a lot more dignity and freedom than the rest of the world, some might even say to their own detriment.
One of my co-workers expatriated to Sweden for a few years. There were tweens just hopping on the bus and going to the museum miles away. But I get the feeling that one could trust the average Swede would prevent harm to a child from a pedophile.
Leashes in the US were a symptom of a brisk change in society with relatively little information on how to perform it. They definitely existed.

Ohh 😮 ohhhhh
Okay, everybody get your cash out we’re going to crowdsource a 30 second ad on Fox News.
“Scientists find gut biome bacteria to be extremely diverse. Now we all know that diversity is wrong but you can fix this yourself, because if there’s one thing that those woke bacteria hate, it’s bleach. News at 11”

They weren’t uncommon in the US in the '90s, they fell out of favor soon after. Even back then they weren’t popular.
In the '80s and earlier, corporal punishment was regular and expected. There was a push in the '90s to stop the corporal punishment. A lot of parents stopped handing out corporal punishment but failed to replace it with any form of discipline. It was not an uncommon to see kids tearing things off shelves yelling at and smacking their parents while their parents were going “now Jimmy, We don’t do that” shrinking at parents walking by saying their kids, what are you going to do?;The little backpacks with the leashes were a symptom of failed parenting. If you grew up in this time in a very conservative area you might not have experienced this yourself, as giving timeouts, redirecting, and not beating your kids as a relatively progressive ideal and when it started it was actively disparaged by conservatives.
- Comment on Anon pitches a new game 1 week ago:
Which would you rather have 1 million dollars or 100 million dollars?
It’s not that straightforward, unfortunately. The real culprit is allowing all giant public companies to hoover up all the small companies. Now you’re not a 3 person team with a side job trying to pay the bills and getting lucky. Office rent, Unity/Unreal want their cut, app stores want their cut, Salary, IT, Healthcare. You end up needing to support quite a lot of infrastructure to make that 1 Mil game. That no longer ‘moves the needle’ on your company’s yearly income and the stock suffers.
Then, you can’t just make a game and release it anymore, you need live ops, sales, events, campaigns, otherwise you’re leaving money on the table.

Hell, they sell the DVD for five. Let’s be honest, that’s not a 4K kind of movie.
- Comment on I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I’m definitely blocked from turning on my hotspot with AT&T until it can verify that I’m allowed specifically from the cellular network.
This could very well be a carrier lock-in.
- Comment on Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’ 1 week ago:
Of course he didn’t expect the blowback. All of the CEOs are in their own little worlds trying to figure out how to make money off of AI. They’re all taking their personal money and investing heavily in AI corporations, so they’re all very pro AI and couldn’t understand why your average person who is pretty sure it’s going to make their life worse through jobs or other means would be anti-AI.

Hard crash on the businesses, he sells whatever he has that’s worth good money (other, not his, companies stock) and buys a bunch of the destroyed stock. Promises to cede control, but continue funding. Tesla rebrands, becomes affordable and consumer friendly.
I mean, there’s no way he would let all that happen. But he’s still sitting on an absolutely massive pile of money. If he had the balls to pull the rip cord he could sit right where he is for the rest of his life. He just doesn’t have it in him.

It’s much funnier now
Nah, It was rather self-explanatory, I believe most of us read it is more of a pedantic thing than a joke. Sadly, explaining the pedantic thing at length reinforced that substantially. :)

Interesting,
If it’s raining outside and it’s raining men come from the same base concept… “It” has a definition closer to the current state of the environment around me. Though admittedly the still breaks slightly for it’s raining men.

Yup, by naming Wedell, they located it quite well; there are 13 small named seas completely encircling Antarctica. By naming any of them, you can reasonably locate (to any point that matters to dear reader) the wreck

Stewart Raffill
I had no idea about his portfolio, I appreciate mac and me for it’s altruism, but it was just a little too E.T. for me when I wasn young and I think I get a little anti-nostalgia (is that a thing?) for it.
Is Tammy and the T-Rex #3? I could see that being a solid round out of the trilogy.
- Comment on Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSN 2 weeks ago:
Unless we figure out how to open source, distribute and maintain an indexer, we’re going to suck on the AI tit for the foreseeable future.
All these meta search engines are eventually doomed to be shut down is the tech companies that maintain the handful of actual indexers that exist slowly shut down streams that don’t provide them revenue.

- Comment on Whatever happened to cheap eReaders? 2 weeks ago:
Of all the people I know who bought into e-readers, they all just went back to books. Kindle is the only one that seems to still pop up, but people hate amazon so much they’d far father buy from mom and pop shops.

Ice Pirates (1984): A bunch of A-Listers before they were big. Great practical effects. Spaceships, Pirates, Time Travel, ‘robots’ It was magnificent.
Close second: The Cat from Outer Space (1978). It was a Disney flick, but really great for the time.

Cell phones didn’t exist. Kids need to call to get picked up after hours. There were payphones anywhere they would be used. Malls, Outside fast food restaurants, in shopping centers at gas stations.

Those phones were durable AF.
