He’s about to smuggle food into a cinema

No, obtain a real human skeleton from… a legal skeleton store 🤔

Didn’t you hear, they’ve almost succeeded at nuclear fusion, almost 90 whole seconds of stable fusion, any day now

Is the joke that they really mean the N-word?

The whole board (except CEO) resigned last month because they couldn’t agree in a buyout option

Especially do it for 23andMe because they’re going out of business and will just be doing it to increase the sale price

People also willing submit to the cult if Apple and just believe everything they say. People are likely more frequently forced to use windows due to work or just the lack of choice for less technically confident people.

Once you all agree on a day, let me know and I’ll take the other one. No queues anywhere!

I got the pixel 8 at release, had to return it because the wireless charging stopped working. I was lucky to have a shitty old phone around and their customer service was pretty good about it. Considered as a teething problem, but then a month ago I had the same issue and this time they were horrible to deal with. Finally got a replacement, opened it to check it was all there and traded it in for a discount on a Samsung. The customer service in the chat on the second occasion was trying to tell me I needed the original invoice the second to prove it was still in warranty, I was like 1. You guys sent me this replacement phone and 2. It hasn’t been available long enough to be out of warranty. When I asked for them to escalate the chat, they just ended it.

AI has become the genie granting overly specific wishes.

I hear Boeing ordered 6 of these rockets all ready

Maybe $11.99, they won’t actually confirm that till checkout

Our IT often use a Boolean as a shortcut for figuring out things in code. For example, if there’s a charge we don’t apply to some customers, instead of setting it to zero, they’ll have a Boolean on the customer to decide whether they skip that part of the calculation. On top of this, they then name it in a way that limits how many records they have to update, this leads to many settings phrased in the negative, such as “Don’t apply extra leg charges”. As an extra layer on this, more recently they were made aware of the confusion this causes for staff and their solution was to change how end users are the question, which causes the “yes/no” in the interface to read the opposite of the “true/false” in the database

It grinds my gears for so many reasons, but most of all, it creates a huge vulnerability with little or no benefit to the end user. Needlessly adding extra online exposure, just so they can data mine.

They probably change them to .com as they privatize them

The current plan where I live, is to chuck the bicycles on the footpath with pedestrians.

I don’t think it’s about not wanting to hear it, more so about the language used, that feels overboard. I feel it’s a combination of a car industry regulator in need of updating their terminology and news outlets looking to make everything sound sensational - the end result leaving you feel like you’ve been mislead about what’s actually going on.
