It is the aggressive megacolony of fungus embedding its mycelia in the base of the tree

The tree was not complicit in that

Apparently Block Rockin’ Beats are halal

Same with leaded gas: it is a wonderful fuel additive; very effective and engines ran so well as they covered the world with lead microparticles. And CFCs: a really great refrigerant but it just also loves reacting with stratospheric ozone! Oddly enough, both commercialized by the same dude https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr.

I know time is relative but that’s going a bit too far

I was hoping it would help me save on international transfer fees when I was an overseas postdoc, but it would have actually cost more between the exchange fees and my time setting up all the exchanges in various countries, meanwhile also introducing risk in me being robbed of said money and screwing something up and introducing myself to some sort of tax liability. Needless to say, I continued to just pay for the bank transfers

Many people seem to be unable or unwilling to confront the cognitive dissonance of there not being a good guy to root for. They have to deny some war crimes to make things simple for themselves, so it’s a simple case of good vs evil

I think that if the environmental movement emphasized how much radioactive material is released by coal and other fossil fuels, we’d have a lot less public resistance to phasing them out.

It’s funny because the radio industry used to have this pay-to-play model. It began to be called “payola” and triggered a huge controversy including congressional investigations and an FCC crackdown. Yet here we are, with the same shit happening again in digital format. This is honestly worse than payola since radio was free and this is not. I don’t like paying to be advertised to. Considering leaving Spotify; there seem to be more and more shenanigans like this popping up, AND their subscription price just increased!

It’s interesting because they justify it by saying it’s for compliance (eg, because logged out users haven’t answered affirmatively that they’re over 18). Gives them cover when we all know the real reason they’re locking it down

It’s very Animal Farm-esque watching them degrade in real time, and continue to destroy what they built

If it has giant tow mirrors and is lifted it’s 1000% driven by an asshole who tailgates in the right lane

I fail to see what is sensationalized. He is being investigated for studying the blood of homeless people without proper permission of an ethics board or the authorities, which as the article discusses is against the law.

I do miss the Tizen battery life, more like 4 days, but >2 is my minimum. The Maps app is pretty great for showing the next turn when walking, and you can pull up a map view if there’s confusion about the exact direction. It works pretty well and the large display is very readable.

I’ve been pretty happy with my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Have access to apps I value like Bring, Home Assistant, Todoist, Google Maps, Yatse. Google Assistant actually is pretty responsive and useful. Music controls are effective, as is responding to texts, dismissing notifications. I get about 2.5 days battery life allowing me to do sleep tracking. So I’d recommend it!

Used to be a big fan til they started sneaking Bing search into my long press context menu.

Agreed, the update from yesterday really made it daily driver material!

Padding sometimes seems like it’s used as a crutch to get around placing stuff more thoughtfully. I agree there’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but it is particularly annoying in feeds where it results in an excessive amount of scrolling
