Wow this meme is 12 years old but was originally Pharrell. I didn’t realize fashion was repeating that quickly these days.

We inherited a dual-basket air fryer, a nice Ninja model, and had it for a week before realizing it was worthless compared to the convection oven we already had. Spacing things out enough in the compartments meant there wasn’t enough food for even two people (unless you put the same food in both baskets), it took longer to use than the oven, it absolutely stunk up the house, and then it had to be cleaned. Weird product and we got rid of it.

That’s because the helicopter crashes you’ve seen were the ones where something catastrophic happened, like a midair collision or a pilot error. That’s what makes the news, not the safe landings where engine failure has occurred.

As a web designer (well, customizer/reseller for small businesses) I definitely thought I was done for when I heard AI could spit out a functional website in one prompt. Then I saw some examples and realized it’s just going to be another thing clients bring me, begging for a fix. No problemo, small upcharge.

I’ve only had a few go through my hands but I definitely bought drugs with them.

Same reason they only come out when surrounded by bulletproof glass or in sniper-controlled areas now. They don’t want to be individually targeted.
Now it’s interesting to imagine what would happen if hundreds of officials were individually targeted, but having a bunch of guns at your house ≠ that. Still the issue of targeted suppression exists, and would be highly effective.
If you burn down a neighborhood, if you shoot an RPG or a drone at a house, none of the guns inside matter, except they make it more lethal as you try to escape. They also make your house more unsafe for kids and yourself (statistically).
Arming yourself up defensively just doesn’t do much. If they want you dead, they’re gonna do it in a zero-casualty-for-them way. They can do that en masse, they can do that in rural or urban areas. They train for that 24/7. They love that.
Arming yourself offensively, well that’s something else. I don’t know if that’s what’s being suggested when this issue comes up though.

Who remembers printing to a Postscript file and then running that through Acrobat to get a PDF? Back in the 90s when PDFs had to be explained.

Are you sure you don’t have “print as image” enabled there? It should keep it as a layered PDF, not rasterizing.

Doc offices, urgent cares, etc have these little blue plastic bags with a cardboard collar around them, just big enough to go around the outside of your mouth. I call them yack sacks. Grab a few of these the next time you see a dispenser on the wall, keep them in your nightstand, glovebox, etc. They come in very handy.

It’s trivially easy to activate the sensor by putting your finger on the right part of the seat, on mine you are aware when it happens because there’s a beep. I am terrified of the moment my 3yo figures out where this spot is, because the panel of interesting buttons will suddenly do something, and that something will be Terrible.

I got in and out of my house about 50 times per day, and my feet are size 13.5s, so all my shoes are tight (they don’t make most shoes in anything larger than 13s). Plus my back isn’t what it once was. If I had to bend over and take my shoes off 50 times a day, I’d actually lose it, “it” being my L3-4 disc.
Whereas, litereally nothing bad has ever happened to me because I wear shoes in the house. It’s all some hypothetical … I don’t know what exactly. Grossness? Is grossness hurting me?
Tell you what’s ‘gross,’ as a thought exercise tho - walking around barefooted where my dogs and cats walk barefooted, they’re not exactly wearing shoes outside, or in the litterbox, nor are they putting a handkerchief down under their assholes when they sit down.
But a pair of flip-flops for in the house plus floor cleaning regularly… I don’t really worry about it either way. IDK why anyone does.

Also his lower intestine is filled with a plug of moss and pinecones, which have trapped the material in his digestive system, stopping digestion entirely, which he will now need to expel in a painful and gruesome deification so it can start up again.
Much like me in the morning
But he doesn’t need coffee for it :/

Then how did he have an affair?
Is power itself not enough to coerce someone, you’re saying it has to be physical coercion? That would undo a lot of what we know about sexual assault.
I’m certainly not saying he did it, but “he’s paralyzed” is not a good enough defense.

…That’s a bit of ableism, Hawking managed to have an affair that ended his marriage although it seems that original marriage involved his abuse, so he comes out the good guy. It’s entirely possible for a wealthy, privileged person with disabilities to abuse someone else, either through power imbalance or with assistance under their direction. But no evidence that it occurred in his case.

Also, you know, making the rich people pay even the same taxes WE pay, let alone the 50-90% marginal rates from decades ago, when the country was strong.
