Has anyone ever been to a political candidate rally? What was it like?
  • My government teacher in high school took our class to a Herman Cain rally. It was... interesting. Towards the end of his campaign, so it was in a BBQ restaurant that had a stage for bands and maybe 50 people were there total. I don't remember much about it, other than it was hard to hear because we were in a restaurant that was still playing music in the other room. I believe you'll have a very different experience tonight lol

  • For the first time, humans were exposed to a deadly combination of heat and humidity. Here's how long they lasted - ABC News
  • Hot temperatures are bad, humidity is bad, but it turns out hot temperatures at lower humidity is seemingly even worse. And we're all fucked because climate change models show us likely hitting the temps this guy was exposed to if we don't fix some shit fast.

  • My first guitar string just snapped and I lost the pin. My pins look different from standard pins I see online. Please help me figure this out.
  • I remember starting basically everything I've ever done in my life with just the dumbest questions you could possibly ask. I think it's important to remember those times and take it easy on new folks. No one ever progresses past that point if they get shot down the second they ask their first question.

  • What has been the worst church service you have ever attended?
  • I have clear memories of the pastor at my parents' church talking about how the gay agenda's next steps were legalizing bestiality and pedophilia. Probably would've been somewhere around 2014-2015. Looking back, it was absolutely the beginning of the end of me having anything to do with religion, so maybe it's actually the best sermon I ever sat through.

  • A supermarket trip may soon look different, thanks to electronic shelf labels
  • But you don't carry the sign with you. It stays at the shelf. Sure, they could build a system that tracks you everywhere in the store and marks what price they showed you and tells the register what price to display when you check out. They'll try all that, but this won't do it yet.

  • A supermarket trip may soon look different, thanks to electronic shelf labels
  • Yeah, I'm not actually that worried. I've seen these in use at hardware stores for quite a while now. It's just useful to assume that Walmart is planning to fuck you over. That's a good point with BT though, many of the kind of microcontrollers that would be used for this sort of thing offer BT connectivity as well.

  • Medical Bill negotiation, how should one do it?
  • The deductible is an amount that you pay out of pocket before insurance starts covering anything. So if insurance doesn't get billed, the money doesn't count towards the deductible. This may make it difficult to lower the bill at all, it really depends on how much the entire bill is compared to your deductible. If you can't pay it though, they'll have to give you an affordable payment plan. Definitely negotiate and don't take a loan out from some other source to cover.

  • Starbucks accused of violating Americans with Disabilities Act by charging extra for non-dairy
  • I don't know the ins and outs of the ADA, but I disagree with your analogy. What Starbucks is doing is akin to Walmart charging a different price for milk and oat milk, which I don't think anyone would say is not allowed. It's not like there's a sheet of lactose you have to walk through to get into a Starbucks or anything, there's just things on the menu that people with some food allergies can't order.
