The fact they made the whole thing flesh colored and not just the head makes it so much worse somehow...

Trying to avoid YouTube (I hate that my phone chaged the case from lowercase on its own) is hard.

The watch here option is still a YouTube stream, it just doesn't open it in the YouTube app or open YouTube in the browser.

You can up your trifecta to a quadrella if you also do Crossfit.

15 minutes to charge is more than road-trippable. Start the charger, stretch, go to the bathroom, get a drink, reply to messages you've gotten and didn't respond to because you were driving and you are responsible, and it's been more than 15 minutes!

... why should the investors get their money back? They invested ludicrous amounts of money into a technology with obvious limitations from the start with the intention of using that technology to replace many people's jobs. Losing that money will be a better lesson than some probably unenforceable "pact".

Every 288 days the clock gaining 5 minutes a day will be right again for a moment.

The idiom refers to a clock who's hands don't move at all, I hadn't thought about how it would apply to a running but inaccurate clock.

A clock that either gains or looses time will actually have its moment of correctness more often the more time it gains or loses.

This train of thought didn't help my insomnia, but it was interesting, thanks, lol.

You....buy a book and then throw it away after you read it? Anyone does that?

Yeah... as amazing as full dive VR would be, I'd be afraid that weaponized would be a better term for how it would be implemented than enshitified.

Umart sounds like Best Buy in the US. Fuck Best Buy.

That's assuming they didn't have AI write it. No brain engagement either way I suppose.

I haven't watched this yet, but I'm familiar with his channel. He typically pulls in info from a few different sources (often studies, which he does cite) and talks about them. Pretty worthwhile.

I'm not saying wind turbines kill a lot if birds, but that 20 RPM can translate to blade tip speeds well over 100MPH because of how long they are.
