And hopefully they know the difference between podiatry and pediatric medicine.

That wouldn’t change anything in this specific case, since you can’t buy the whole anymore either.
- Comment on Corporate inadequacy has rendered my favorite rediscovered gadget useless 1 week ago:
How would you even start to enforce those laws against a company that no longer exists? It’s one thing to prevent the AI companies from selling a product that relies on continual support in the first place, but these earbuds will work until the batteries degrade (and theoretically longer if you can manage to replace them without destroying the things) with or without the company’s existence. The fact that the user lost the case with no company to replace it doesn’t seem to me to be the kind of thing that you can really address legally, unless you make the companies put a certain stock of parts in escrow or something, which seems potentially clear more wasteful than the status quo.

This is because “vegetable” is purely a culinary term. There’s no botanical definition of a vegetable. Tomatoes are berries, which is a type of fruit, from a botanical standpoint. So are cucumbers. They’re both vegetables from a culinary standpoint. Lettuce is a leaf. Broccoli is a flower. Carrots are roots. Celery is a stalk. All vegetables culinarily.

Looks like a graduated cylinder to me on the first one. Second is an odd angle, maybe a selfie stick?

- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 5 weeks ago:
I’ll ponder it, but only from a safe distance. It’s important to make sure that the orb doesn’t ponder you back.

- Comment on TIL my decision to drive a 22' full cab pickup truck and vehemently oppose urban zoning reform makes me a defender of social justice, a warrior for the downtrodden, and more progressive than 99% [cont 1 month ago:
I feel like that’s a millennial trait too, simply because we’re all too broke to afford the markup.

Out of turn?

Teacher got the worksheet from someone else and didn’t know the answer.
- Comment on Anon discovers cigarettes 1 month ago:
No one is questioning why addicted people keep smoking. We’re questioning why non-addicted people start smoking.
- Comment on xAI to pay Telegram $300M to integrate Grok into the chat app 1 month ago:
If it had any value, Telegram would be paying Elmo for the privilege instead of the other way around.
- Comment on I am not a builder… but that does not seem right 1 month ago:
Or just put the box 4" to the right, directly on the stud. Why on earth they thought it had to be exactly where it is is beyond me.

We had feudalism before we knew how to use electricity. It wasn’t great.

“This thing that’s happening reminds me of a different thing that’s also happening” isn’t exactly an unusual sentiment.

That depends on the surgery. Gastric bypass notoriously has weight requirements, but a gallbladder removal can still kill you if you’re too fat.
- Comment on Musk’s Colossus is fully operational with 200,000 GPUs backed by Tesla batteries — Phase 2 to consume 300 MW, enough to power 300,000 homes 2 months ago:
300 MW isn’t enough to power 300k homes, that’s only 1 kW/home. A microwave alone uses that, let alone a refrigerator. A single space heater is 1.5 kW.
- Comment on Using Roman numerals made this so much easier 2 months ago:
I feel like this is one of the few communities not dedicated to AI where that shouldn’t be a problem. It’s a shitpost, it’ssupposed to be low-effort and kind of bad.

- Comment on If a gay man and lesbian woman have sex, is that gay or straight? 2 months ago:
Similarly, e.g. two bi men getting married is a gay wedding, even though neither party is gay. The relationship can be described independently of the people in it.

Until it falsely alerts on someone they don’t like, and then they’ll beat the shit out of that person.

Riddick has a good one, and I remember enjoying Shrek 2 on the 6th gen consoles.

Internal hex and Robertson are both better than Philips. Only slotted is worse. Pozidriv is also slightly better than Philips.
