  • YSK "honey", the discount coupon finding browser extensions (owned by PayPal), is a scam stealing commissions from people who actually should get it.

  • Thats where I'm at, I thought it was fairly obvious it was doing this and theres a hundred extensions like this. Are real people surprised this is how it works?

  • Startup set to brick $800 kids robot is trying to open source it first

    Jump

  • I'm conflicted on the projects like that one right now. It's super clever to monitor the network traffic for specific dash buttons trying to reach out, but it also feels super janky and I don't feel like I can justify putting the effort to set that up when it just feels so fragile. Especially with the caveat that if the amazon block you have to setup for it fails then the device just becomes a paperweight.

    Genius idea, but I'm going to hold out for the unlikely possibility of someone figuring out a firmware level hack.

  • Mice and some other pests have evolved an instinctual aversion to the smell of cats, it triggers their fear response. Just having the cats around might have been good enough.

  • Amazon was effectively giving them away for free for a large portion of their lifespan. You'd have deals where you'd pay for them and then get a coupon for actually using them equal to the purchase price. I feel like I even remember a few times where the coupon you got worked out to slightly more than you paid for the button. Basically, saying that someone 'bought' one was usually only partially true.

    They did have a few legitimately good uses. Had to have something that needed restocking sporadically but you also didn't think about often and could wait 2-3 days to receive when you realized you were out. A lot of prerequisites there, I used the ones for trash bags and detergent often.

    It's mostly just a shame the amount of ewaste produced at this point. I still have a box full somewhere in hopes of finding a use case.

  • Can say the same about the forks in my house.

    Because I stole them from those restaurants.

  • The art of subtlety

    Jump

  • If you saw what looked like a giant ninja mask wearing anthropomorphic turtle stuffed into a trench coat, are you going to say anything?

    The disguise is just a courtesy to let the average human have plausible deniability.

    Or, was he just right?

  • OpenAI's Altman will donate $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund

    Jump

  • They're probably right.

    Trump can say he won them over and that all of our best tech companies are friends of the government and him personally (which are the same to him). That's pretty close to Trump's favorite thing.

    How do I win a fight with a lion?

    Jump

  • If you're fighting a singular male lion on it's own... They're not brave without their pack and they're way more 'bark' than bite. It's just like a black bear, be as big and loud as you can. Do not ever run, this triggers an instinctual urge to chase. Alone in the face of a fight it's not sure it can win, the Lion will want to run though. That will just buy you time, closing the gap and actually winning the fight will depend on circumstances, but you can get the upper hand in a lot of ways.

    Whatever happens, be thankful you're not fighting a Tiger.

  • Luigi Mangione Played 'Among Us,' Breathes Air

    Jump

  • On the other hand, every person who has killed a United Healthcare CEO has played Among US, checkmate.

  • LPGA and USGA to require players to be assigned female at birth or transition before male puberty

    Jump

  • I would think so too, but looks like average golfing handicaps do still differ pretty dramatically between the genders. Golf is a very male dominated sport and I feel like that might be a major factor, but the numbers we've collected thus far do point to a difference. Not a big golfer, but the only thing I can think of is maybe driving hit range but, I wouldn't think that could be responsible for the difference alone.

  • Elon Musk has "taken over" MAGA, Democratic strategist suggests

    Jump

  • Musk is the type of guy who thinks the key roadblock in any problem is that he isn't in charge. It's harder to be in charge of Earth than it is to be in charge of Mars.

  • Ecstasy of gold is this one, Metallica played this too with the San Francisco Orchestra and it was as epic as you'd imagine:

    One we're looking for today though is this one (the main theme):

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9EZGHcu3E8

    Doesn't quite have that same riff, but some of the musical themes were reused in 'The Trio' which finished up the movie:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiIe2znA1ao

    Admittedly, it's hard to find a song based on someone just writing out the sounds they think it makes and I feel like any Ennio Morricone score really should be thought of as a singular piece in harmony with the movie itself. This was one of his best, one of those movies where the dialogue could be optional, sometimes you didn't even need to open your eyes to understand what was going on.

  • Being an adult

    Jump

  • That tactic tends to breed resentment (from both sides) when one person starts to get better at noticing problems. You might get lucky and stay balanced, but you'll probably have to actually talk about that some day.

  • Trump picks former WWE executive Linda McMahon for education secretary

    Jump

  • It's definitely a stretch, but she's not completely unqualified... I'm not saying she's a good pick either, but she did at least serve on the board of education for Connecticut for about a year.

    Mostly continuing the theme of Trump picking random ass people he knows and throwing them wherever it fits, but this isn't likely to be the worst one.

  • Rules for medication

  • This doesn't work because no matter how many potions you have, you have to save them for when you really need them. Then, you end up finishing the game having never touched any of them.
