Highly recommend meal kit delivery services. You spend a few minutes every month picking out recipes that look tasty. Then every week they send you a box with the recipes and ingredients.
It’s great for me because I enjoy the cooking aspect but hate planning a meal and all the shopping.
Dat Green Shitter?
You’re kind of forgetting about digital cameras. Looking back, I was on my 3rd or 4th digital camera at the time - and Polaroid had been bankrupt for years.
I got married in the aughts, just a few years after Outkast came out with the song Hey Ya, which was a super popular song. Anyway, my wife and I had a Polaroid camera and thought it would be fun to leave it out with a bunch of film so our wedding guests could take pictures of the night for us.
So we went to Target to buy film and ask a teenager working there if they sold Polaroid film. They had no idea what we were talking about. I said remember asking my wife, “So what do you suppose they think that line ‘shake it like a Polaroid picture’ means?”
That teenager would be in their mid-30s by now…
“A fire, quick throw some gasoline on it to put it out!”
I followed the #2 link he linked about cloud seeding. From the article:
Veteran Houston meteorologist Travis Herzog weighed in this week, calling the theory scientifically unfounded.
“Cloud seeding cannot create a storm of this magnitude or size. In fact, cloud seeding cannot even create a single cloud,” Herzog said. “All it can do is take an existing cloud and enhance the rainfall by up to 20% — and even that is on the high end.”
He compared the theory to blowing out a candle and assuming one could extinguish a wildfire. “It is a matter of scale,” he said.
It’s pretty ballsy to provide a link with someone calling out your bullshit while acting as if that link proves your point.
“hey Google, show a message on my back window saying ‘Sorry I didn’t know this lane was a merge lane and went around you like a jackass, I swear I didn’t know!! I’m actually a nice person’”
“I pinged Elon on at some point. I’m just like, dude, if I’m doing this and I’m super amateur hour physics enthusiast, like what about all those PhD students and postdocs that are super legit using this tool?” Kalanick said.
Dude is right here on the Dunning Kruger curve.
It’s referencing this account. I wish I had a better link than the Daily Mail
I did this a few days ago in accident only to basically pass the person in front of me and then sit in heavy traffic for the next 5 minutes.
I could feel their eyes burning into the back of my head, with them thinking “way to go, asshole, you saved yourself exactly 2 seconds by going around me.”
Cars need an “I’m sorry” emote somehow.
Kind of surprising there are that many songs just named !
I’m super stoked for the Project Hail Mary movie. But I was super disappointed in the trailer, because it shows the WHOLE freaking movie. If you haven’t read the book, you’re far better off skipping the trailer and going in blind.
The Hobbit and LOTR books are actually fantastic to listen to as audiobooks. The narrator (at least in the version I had) sings all the songs.
Are you saying that you can hear when I pick massive boogies out of my nose?
My company cut funding for traditional projects and has prioritized funding for AI projects. So now anything that involves any form of automation is “AI”.
Do they not realize Epstein was killed when Trump was president the first time?
4 times a week now!
The average growth rate from 10,000 BCE to 1700 was just 0.04% per year.
Wow that’s crazy to me. I had always envisioned humans steadily spreading and growing constantly. I had no idea that we were basically treading water for so long.
I love stumbling across random information like this. I had no idea that mint spread so aggressively - and will likely never need this information. But it’s fun to learn.
Yeah, I lucked out because my spouse signed us up for it. So I just go in every once in a while and pick stuff I want to eat. If I forget, they choose recipes for you based on what they “think” you’d like (or if you have favorited recipes in the app.
