It’s a bot, his feelings aren’t hurt by imaginary internet points :)

There also isn’t like a critical mass of commenters on most topics, so down voting isn’t even suppressing points of view yet.

For sure, just offering some silver linings to them :)

I do use a pixel, so the camera bump goes across the entire back, so there is no rocking

To add on to everyone else mentioning it, another benefit to password managers is that they auto filter themselves to the URL. So if you have a password saved for macys.com and get phished to macys-passwordreovery.com, the password manager won’t know the URL and offer no filtering. Adding the extra step of having to manually find your password entry should be a flag itself that something might be wrong.

I’m all for the camera bump. I can lay my phone on my desk and it’s slightly tilted towards me so I can read notifications without having to move my head directly above it.

Also, while holding the phone, i can use a finger under the bump for stability and to keep it from sliding down. I don’t use a case, and all these glass backed phones can be a bit slick.

All praise the camera bump overlords! \[T]/

Careful, the same picture of shooters who identify as heterosexual would completely overshadow this picture.

We have waiting times too, the more elective it is the longer it is.

For my yearly checkup, the first time I went, their first availability was 3 months later. It’s the same time every year now because I book next years appointment at each visit.

I thought I needed a CPAP, I had to wait a week to get the home sleep study equipment and then two more weeks to meet with the doctor. I had a copay of $50 with that doctor but had to buy the CPAP for about $800

I scheduled a vasectomy and it took 3 months for the consult and another 6 for the procedure and it cost $750 out of pocket.

I pay $350/no for my insurance plan which has now has no copays and no coinsurance until I reach my yearly deductible of $3500 (which means I pay 100% of all medical costs before my insurance does anything) and my employer covers about $300/mo. So $7800/yr in total to basically just have protection in case a major accident happens.

From my time on Reddit years ago this question came up.

Some cashier’s said they reciprocate the exchange back to the customer. If the customer puts cash on the counter for them to pick up, they’ll put the change on the counter in return.

There also was probably some new training from covid where you didn’t want to touch people directly, so those training materials probably still exist

My guess is no one is willing to take on the liability. Any new system that introduces bugs or introduces attack vectors from hackers don’t want to be responsible for any lost money and I’m sure banks/insurance don’t want to take on the risk either.

Magnetic tape and clearing houses for the indefinite future!

The mast majority of legal precedings end with a plea deal.

“Plea guilty to this misdemeanor with a fine and walk out of jail today, or wait in jail for 3 months and fight an uphill court case where people will blindly trust the police and we can fabricate any narrative we want”

“Oh you want to fight and post bail? Okay well for three months we require biweekly drug screenings you pay for, you have a curfew, and if the police can come up with some other bs charge while you’re out, we get to tack on bail jumping”

It’s not hard to see why people will admit to being guilty while innocent when pleading guilty won’t result in jail time

Now I may be wrong, but the rulings on sodomy or marital rape weren’t rulings that overturned past supreme Court rulings. And a future supreme Court shouldn’t be able to overturn citizens united. Congress would need to pass a law to overturn citizens united.

It’s like roe v wade. I’m pretty sure the roe ruling wasn’t specifically about abortion, it was about the people’s right to get an abortion because they have a right to privacy versus the government’s interest.

How can one supreme Court roster determine roe was a violation of the 14th amendment and another roster rule it wasn’t? That just incentives a political supreme Court. Roe shouldn’t have been overturned, Congress should have had the burden of modifying the 14th amendment so that roe could be struck down.

I bet the justices are communicating with interested parties to let them know which rulings they now have the majority to overturn. Like a “hey bud, you should challenge the Chevron ruling now that we have a majority, and when it gets here, we’ll get rid of that one too”

I dunno, the SCOTUS has been overturning decades old rulings out of nowhere lately.

How new SCOTUS can reverse old SCOTUS seems like an odd power for them to have.

Not voting does not tell the system their authority is meaningless. Not voting is just not voting.

For over half Americans, voting for president is pointless, voting blue in a red state or red in a blue state doesn’t do anything in the winner take all states. But, voting for president means you’re also there to vote local, which by far more important and impactful on your day to day life

Who the president is is largely inconsequential to your day to day life. The legislature is where you need to focus.

July 16th is the 197th day of the year on non leap years. July 17th is the 199th day of the year on leap years.

Both of those are prime.

Something tells me it was longer than 0.74 seconds. And typically the person that suffers the consequences of the lead car not paying attention is the cars further back sitting through another light cycle because you can’t put down candy crush while driving

One of the best parts of that episode is Mr. Poopy butthole is in every scene of the intro sequence

Our company pays for TeamViewer, and I still get nagged all the time, so there’s no point in giving them money, they still nag you all the time.

Wait until you get to the inner working of a pinball machine or jukebox!

If the juror is allowed to keep the money after the trial if they report it, just means we will have open bribery of jurors.

“Yes, I got this $100,000 cashier check to vote guilty, so I’m going to vote not guilty to keep the $100,000”

That’s not a book, it’s a petrified ice cream sandwich

Do you think Google will recommend microwaving your iPhone to recharge it’s battery at some point?
