Google is not particularly innocent of children trying to be kidnapped by ICE agents in LA:

Edit: what I mean is, of forms of protest, this is mild compared to what the opposition is doing. This is just property, not lives torn appart.

While I read the title I was thinking “that sounds like Linux with extra steps” - maybe that’s good enough for some discussion.

They only provided replacements after the a class action lawsuit and specifically only replaced them in North America for the longest time. That was on July 2020. Five years later and the flaw is still there on brand new devices. There is nothing to applaud or give credit for.

Edit: to say that $80 is not expensive is to be completely detached from reality. 28% of Americans have savings of less than $1,000.

Not to mention those things are expensive AF. If I had to replace a part on my car that cost 25% of the cost of the entire car EACH time, I would just not buy from that company any longer (which is what I’m doing). Not sure why this person is writing paragraphs and paragraphs of excuses for Nintendo.

I understand that’s the purpose of a party game, but the mini games I saw were literally chose a thing and it will explode or it will not, no fun involved after you experience it once. Not even like a blue shell that still needs you to move forward.

Also there was a game that made you chose a 1 or 2 and once you got to a few players, it was impossible to win regardless if you got left with the option before the bee hive. At least make the dice spin faster when less players are around to make it feel random but fair (even if it isn’t).

There is a point where things move from fun and chaotic to completely random and less replayable.

A chance to be a much better Mario party if there is less RNG.

Saw a stream of some people playing Mario party superstars from a year ago and it looked very unfair/RNG based to the point of being boring.

Also we don’t pay taxes but will fuck up the roads with the extra weight. Good luck driving over potholes suckers!

Cs get degrees.

Some of the fancy folks were just very inbred and probably objectively ugly.

What about Edd and Eddy?

We use them to add extra heat to tacos. For those craving more than salsa levels of spicy. Sometimes done with red onions to give it a nice visual contrast.

Unfortunately it’s all undone by:

• Distracted drivers in their cell phones
• Very large cars. More mass = more damage and less visibility

It’s especially sad when a very large portion of the deaths are kids 0-4 in some residential driveway at a very disproportionate rate:

Edit: for cell phone damage specifically, look at the uptick in deaths following the 2010s on many studies when smartphones became commonplace.

As the saying goes, the average person isn’t very smart, and by definition half of the population is even less savvy.

And the eggs. Everything looks like it came out of a package and assembled, maybe reheated. Texture is important, there isn’t much here. Plus we also eat with our eyes.

For cars specifically some of the old guys from Donut media covered it in their new channel “Speeed”. I think they also touched on how the “channels” automatically adjust the content type or “theme” to try to gather more views for the same low effort dung.

I’ve also encountered a lot of this garbage for highly specific searches like “what to do in XYZ Washington” the result is like 3 videos for small cities with 1 video being the original and the other 2 clearly copying the same list with AI slop and random stock footage over a boring narration. It’s really annoying and makes researching a road trip a big chore.

Right, I looked into that website earlier in the year I think. Even for “high demand” jobs in the US like tech, it’s not easy to get into Canada.

Out of curiosity as an owner of a QNAP NAS, how did it go out? Any signs it was in its last legs? Now that I’ve used one, the form factor is the only thing better than most options out there when I got it.

Nowadays all QNAP, Sinology and other NAS vendors supposedly offer a lot of extra value with their cloud options, but I find them a sure way to get hacked based on the average company’s investment in security (I work in IT, it is a sad affair sometimes) combined with all the ransomware specifically targeting them due to old packages they rely on = I’ll build my next system from the ground up, even if the initial cost is higher and the result is uglier.

Found the food pairings to be hilarious. Could have been summarized as “stones AF food”.

You’d be surprised, Google voice commands have gotten so bad it can’t toggle a light. Things as simple as “define: word” are now a 50/50 of working or spitting out some random crap unrelated to what was attempted to be looked up. I’ve stopped using the little speakers for anything other than streaming music while cooking.

They did in 2020, no Biden or Kamala cult shit compared to what we see from the other party in 2016 and 2024 (and leading up to and between really).
