I’ve never been through a missile attack, but slept through a few hurricanes in a shelter. there’s something about not being able to go anywhere and the constant drone of noise – I’ve never slept better.

Just email me the script. I’ll have an LLM summarize it.

That’s great, I’m in! Now, workflow – how do I install Adobe Audition?

The toner in my laser printer has lasted longer than my need for hard copy.

It’s a strange feeling seeing these people with high tier players cards, and it’s their first time in a casino.

A rising road toll in the US. A rising road toll in Australia. Journalists give 1000 reasons why it could be happening.

And they studiously avoid mentioning the growing proportion of massive SUVs and pickup trucks on the roads. If they mention it at all, it's only in passing: https://youtu.be/Hb5_RUNeC0g?si=uuns6D1I6fGINdpU

But.

If you have larger and heavier cars, with larger blind spots, of course you're going to have more fatalities!

Remember kids: Every 10cm a vehicle's hood height increases, the risk of fatalities grows by 22%: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212012224000017

Over 350 thousand Americans died in 2020 due to COVID. We went back to work after taking a few weeks off due to greed. No one batted an eye or even mentions it. That is such a large number of deaths, our life expectancy is back to what it was in the 80’s.

500 people is laughable to a country that holds more value to the dollar than to life.

This year because I’m a union member I get 3 paid sick days and a personal day extra, which would pay for my dues for the year twice.

I’m only disappointed because they BOUGHT my data. I figured they stole it.

. . . cheaper than insurance for a new driver

I’ve been driving 20 years. No points and no recent accidents. I last paid $1300 for 6 months of car insurance on a Hyundai and it’ll probably go up again next time.

That’s $2600 a year or $50 a week and we haven’t spoken about gas, or parking in some locations. Absolutely Uber is an option, or ebike.

Corporate is cheating the system just to save a few bucks in wages. I see it as OP balancing the books.

minibyte ,

A very large chunk of what people consume these days is effectively already ads

That’s what grinds my gears. I understand ads pay bills, but showing multiple ads before a trailer for a video game or movie is excessive.

It is not uncommon for people to travel from California or Las Vegas to Mexico for dental work because the expense is so high, sometimes even with insurance.
