  • Because its not about age verification, its about tracking and controlling you and making a privacy respecting solution isn't compatible with that.

  • Grok isn't a company, its xAi

  • The warning is futile. Everyone that partakes will do it at least once.

  • I love reading about these going BOOM.

    They don't have a lot of them.

  • I really hope they can boot this fucker out this election.

  • I don't think that's true.

    Health insurance is expensive in the US. Many sites indicate an average monthly cost in the $400-$600 range, and given it's average also means it can be even higher.

    That's $4800 - $7200 a year, vs a 1 time $2400 if they are in the average cost area for a colonoscopy.

    It's not great, many people can't afford that either, but it's not true that if you can't afford insurance, you can't afford $2400

  • Engineer: we can use this $0.05 nut and it should last a decade, or we can use this $0.049 nut and it'll maybe last 2 years.

    Boss: Use the 0.49 nut and were giving you a promotion!

  • Ya that's not good for routine checks which is what should be normal, but if you think something is actively wrong its an option, or at least on the lower end of the scale price wise if that's where you happen to live. That doesn't count for what happens if its positive and you're uninsured either.

  • I saw someone else in another thread post they weren't too expensive (relatively) to get checked. I think someone said something like $1500 uninsured in USA, and googles AI answer says on average $2400.

    Not cheap, but it's not some crazy $20,000 bill kinda thing.

  • And here I thought I was clicking on a post where some MAGA 2nd amendment woman shot themselves in the foot with a gun, not once, but twice.

  • Robbed is definitely the right word there.

  • I wonder if that's the kind of thing you could buy insurance for, but I doubt it'd be cheap since the payouts could be quite high and building wide.

  • Do SS contributions come from pre or post tax money? Like if you earn $1000 and pay $100 into SS, are you taxed on $1000 or $900?

    You might be required to pay into it, but if its from pre tax money, then its not a double tax. Its a contribution you pay into, and eventually benefit from at which point its taxed.

    Assuming you live long enough to receive it.

    Edit: example.

  • Russia has enough nukes that 99% could fail and it'd still wreck your country. It is still a legitimate deterrent and always will be.

  • In Canada when I was growing up, if you didnt take french immersion, they made you take 1 french language class a year up until grade 10.

    They also taught Japanese in my highschool and for senior year if you'd taken them all you could go on a trip to Japan.

  • Seems odd to make how many km left as part of the story (that focus on despite 72km...), seems like a power system failure and not a the battery was reporting a wrong amount and they drove it empty situation.

  • You don't need an app to use a Tesla, but you're missing out on a lot by not using it if you own one.

    Probably the same for many OEMs.

  • Yes, I was saying that they can and still do what they want, but can/will still face punishment if they decide to do it because individuality has no place in a company setting. Its the company rules that will dictate if they can or can't do something, and those company rules may also be dictated by laws.

    That pharmacist would (should) have faced punishment because it was at work.

  • The pharmacy no, the pharmacists absolutely, they'll just lose their job.

    This bill is about the individual, so it doesn't really change anything in this example.
