I don't read DMs.

  • Electric buttons for door release sacrifice safety for coolness. And, maybe some convenience? There's no other reason to make car doors this way, it's just one more motor to fail when you hit 100,000 miles or whenever the warranty dies. Imagine what it would cost to fix this then, probably more than the car will be worth.

  • I switched to decaffeinated a couple of years ago, because of high blood pressure. I think I'll add caffeinated back for my first two cups in the morning and then decaffeinated for the rest of the day.

  • The most pronounced associated differences were observed with intake of approximately 2 to 3 cups per day of caffeinated coffee or 1 to 2 cups per day of tea.

  • In this case, it appears to be the caffeine. Also, with these sorts of large studies, the amount is self-reported, so "a cup" is whatever the person reporting considers to be a cup, it's not some controlled amount.

    Key Points

    Question: Is long-term intake of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee associated with risk of dementia and cognitive outcomes?

    Findings: In this prospective cohort study of 131 821 individuals from 2 cohorts with up to 43 years of follow-up, 11 033 dementia cases were documented. Higher caffeinated coffee intake was significantly associated with lower risk of dementia. Decaffeinated coffee intake was not significantly associated with dementia risk.

    Meaning: Higher caffeinated coffee intake was associated with more favorable cognitive outcomes.

  • A bit over 3000 billionaires, and many more with hundreds of millions. But, yeah, this is the jist of it at the moment. We've agreed to work all of our lives to support them abusing us.

  • Does it have an owie?

  • I know what ants taste like. I don't want to know, but I do.

  • Chicken, broccoli, coffee, cream, cashews, olive oil, some cheese and spices, blueberries. That's 95% of my diet right now, and for the past four years or so.

    Could I "survive" on less? Of, course. Do I want to? No. But, I may need to in the future.

  • OH! This is why it was busier than usual this morning. I wondered why. I usually shop Sunday morning because people are in church, and the grocery store is empty.

  • I came across something about it this morning, and thought, 'Oh, is that today?' Then I forgot about it again until this post.

    I've never cared about sportsball, but I've learned enough about football to follow a game. I couldn't avoid it. Same for other sports, like baseball, golf, tennis, and even bowling.

    I'm old and mostly alone now, I feel no desire to pretend to be interested anymore. Y'all have fun.

  • If they don't have the money, they borrow it against the collateral of the business. It's the same way everything in business is funded to start. Get the contract signed, take a loan to buy the materials, build the thing, get paid, and pay back the loan. In this case, they pay back the loan by not paying the workers more, not giving raises for a few years or whatever, and not hiring new employees for a while.

  • Trump said, "He doesn't get booed in the U.S."

  • I dunno, can't parents just keep their kids in a box till they're 18 and can become productive, compliant wage slaves, like everyone else.

  • MAGA afraid of, and compensating for everything, but mostly their own feelings of inadequacy.

    "I'm too short, my dick is too small, my hair is falling out, my muscles aren't big enough, my car is too small, I don't earn enough money, my dog isn't mean enough, my wife isn't pretty enough, my kids are 'woke'. So, the only emotion I allow myself is anger, and I deny responsibility for everything I do. I'm happy to have the pre-packaged scapegoats of colored people and immigrants to blame all of my self-induced problems on, because I can't admit I'm inadequate to myself or anyone else, and I certainly can't put any work into those aspects of my life I could change, because that would also be admitting defeat. That's why I voted for Trump, he's just like me."

  • Turns out it's all a scam. AGI is a fucking pipe dream for the foreseeable future, and all that debt they went into was for nothing but to make a few rich people a little richer. Big business has been fucked, but as usual, it's the rest of us who will pay for it, because "trickle down" has always meant that shit flows downhill.

    Also, Elon with hand on forehead, "So that's how they do it! I knew it wasn't Lidar!"

  • “I think they are a company that acts like they are kind of above the law and want to play by their own set of rules,” Democratic Assembly member Howard Watts, whose district includes the tunnel project, told The Associated Press.

    Pussy.

  • Thanks for nothing, Elliott Prick.

    Also, fuck you.

  • Good on you for leaving it. Boosts engagement and eff em anyways.

    Also, I didn't know titles could be edited. Is it not like Reddit in that way?

  • It's been at least 15 years since I've bought a can of the stuff. Too much sugar.
