Childhood indoctrination is a big part of it. I have been told by my 8-year old niece that she’d like to save me from drowning in a lake of fire. She was genuinely scared for me. It’s literal child abuse followed by Stockholm syndrome.

Wanted an electric car but it’s just a too expensive for me right now with both the purchase and my house electric panel upgrade I’ll have to do for a charging feature.

I got an ebike instead and have been using the crap out of it. Using the ebike instead of the car for simple trips like going to nearby cafes and grocery stores totally changes my day in a positive way. It’s actually postponed my want to get an electric car. I can say im partially green now but without having to have made such a huge financial sacrifice.

Every shift schedule I had, had rotations like these. The main reason? So day time management could see how everyone was doing.

It’s not just your circadian rhythm being fkd. It’s your regular, overall sleep pattern. Constant interruptions because civilized life goes on during day hours. Need to go to a bank? Have a plumber over to fix a leak? Go to see a doctor, ironically for sleep issues? Gonna lose sleep to make those “sacrifices.”

For those who have never worked shift, it’s like getting up at 3am to go see your kids basketball game, then go to work at 8am.

At the hospital after you crash: dammit I forgot to set up autopay

Oof I don’t know the backstory on this, so not sure if I should feel bad for her or not. At the end the finish she was like aw shucks last again, well fk it

On the opposite end it seemed like there was an inflooding of low quality “FB-type” posts. Non-interesting wedding and new baby in /r/pics followed by hundreds of “congrats!” and a sprinkle of “who gives a shit go back to FB” response posts. Predictable dichotomies once reddit got too mainstream.

Yeah but I still think about them from time to time…when things were good

Sample pricing for BMW self-driving add-on feature:

98% accuracy in obstacle avoidance - $299/mo.
85% accuracy in obstacle avoidance - $199/mo.
75% accuracy in obstacle avoidance (lowest legal limit!) - $99/mo.

disclaimer: BMW cannot guarantee 100% accuracy in accuracy rates

I think I read somewhere that it’s getting warmer in northern areas which supports their preferred habitats, hence the spread.

Interesting armadillo fact - their threat response is to either ball up or jump up in the air about 3-5 ft. Which is unfortunately how they respond to oncoming vehicles.

Looks like you might want something non-traditional so without knowing anything about yiur budget, lifestyle, yard size, or HOA here’s some random ideas:

• Dog/squirrel obstacle course
• Ice rink (DIY/kit)
• Chicken coop
• Duck/koi pond
• Miniature hedge maze
• Observatory
• Yurt

Agree. As soon as I saw the question wording I knew the resulting data points would be unreliable.

This is beyond fkd up. There’s a Michael Crichton novel Next that has an extremely similar premise where the rights to a living character’s DNA fell under eminent domain and was upheld by courts of law. So his DNA could be sourced and used without his consent. Super interesting fkd up read that is apparently become a non-fiction topic now.

They might work in a place that doesn’t allow personal electronic devices (government, military, high-security site, etc.).

Yeah cell phone use and access to the internet in general is so ingrained in most modern cultures that it really can’t be meaningfully stopped. These devices connect people, particularly teenagers to friends, significant others, trending news, and provides an outlet to many things they don’t have other accesses to as not-yet-adults. Full implementation of this law would literally be enough to start the next cultural revolution.

Full bath- nice. Bonus option if you go with a new water heatee: tank vs tankless. Good luck with your renovation.

Not a super thorough answer but if you’re thinking about a full bathroom vs a half, one thing that may come up is the current size of your water heater and the size of your family. 3 showers running simultaneously and/or water appliances may warrant getting a larger size heater which will add to the price of the project.

Sad to say but it’d almost be fitting that we get taken out by our own brain-eating selves after all the bullshit we’ve unleashed on this planet.

I’m in the same boat with my foldable. It’d be a handicap now to watch videos on a smaller screen now that I’ve gotten used to the bigger one. I only use the small screen for phone calls now because it’s awkward holding the large screen to your face for that.

Have had a samsung foldable and in a 2 year time period I’ve had to replace the factory installed screen protector twice. It started w a little crack that crept upwards until the whole protector was split in half. Ended up just peeling it off after the 2nd replacement started cracking. I imagine ppl don’t like the idea of not being able to protect their screens for one of their premium products…

On the flip side I did watch the superbowl from a hotel pool with this phone and it was perfect for that.
