  • Reuters/Ipsos poll finds 1 in 4 Americans supports U.S. strikes on Iran

    Jump

  • Technically that would be 75% don't approve which is not the same. I'd bet a solid chunk of that 75 has no idea what's going on as long as it doesn't affect them. They'd be categorized as "neither approves nor disapproves". They're the worst.

  • Polymarket Iran Bets Hit $529 Million as New Wallets Win Big

    Jump

  • Soooo where does the money come from? I haven't looked into it but I imagine they just have odds on events like this. How does this not bleed polymarket dry? If people are betting big and winning on low chance outcomes, polymarket has to account for that money somewhere. If it happens more often than the odds would allow, they should be losing money.

  • ‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 80 children reportedly killed in school bombing

    Jump

  • Little of column A. Little of column B.

  • $1,000 car loan payments are on the rise, stressing household budgets

    Jump

  • We're paying the last payment on my wife's car this month. We've been getting calls and emails from the dealership telling us what a prefect time it would be to upgrade. One night the gummies kicked in and I decided to reply to the clearly automated and canned email. It was dripping with snark, along the lines of "I'll never buy a car because an email prompted me to". Got a call the next day from the dealership where they apologized... and then went right into a sales pitch.

  • Political storm in Wyoming as far-right activist caught handing checks to lawmakers

    Jump

  • And the legal definition of bribe is not what it used to be.

  • Vance launches into Trump's 'war on fraud' by suspending Medicaid payments to Minnesota

  • You smoking something bad if you think this admin is getting charged with anything.

  • How Covid Quietly Rewires the Brain | Researchers keep discovering more about the long-term neurological effects of SARS-CoV-2.

  • Let's sign up all the idiot antivaxxers. Tell them they can prove how superior their immune system is and how easy the infection is. Best case scenario we get more data like this to help us learn.

  • Prediction market Kalshi fines MrBeast editor over insider trading

    Jump

  • Who could have possibly predicted something like this?

  • Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet

    Jump

  • Oh. That makes it better.

  • Marco Rubio delivers rare briefing to top US lawmakers on Iran amid tensions

    Jump

  • But they're discontent! How could you be so callous?

  • Did I discover a fake conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • My recollection was if it was on like school property or some place kids were likely to be. That would trigger some enhancement to the crime. I've never been in a position to need to know if that's true or not.

  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

    Jump

  • R&d on these I'm guessing takes a little while. And it greatly depends on what niche they fill. Like the poster above said these might have lower density. For applications that move, that's not usually good. How sensitive are they to hot and cold? That could necessitate thermal management.

  • Kamala Harris Completely Fails to Read the Room on 2028

    Jump

  • I bet the super delegates push both of them until it's just those two. Then they will have a battle of the corporate shill old guards.

  • An AI Thought Experiment on Substack Is Sending The Stock Market Spiraling

    Jump

  • Wait a minute. Is the DOW not "OVER 50,000 DOL... 50,000. IT'S OVER 50,000!" ??

  • Arizona Senate GOP passes bill that renames highway after Charlie Kirk

    Jump

  • I hate that this question needs to be asked. But I also need the answer.

  • What is the term for using positive rhetoric to cover up negative actions or behavior?

    Jump

  • I'd say those are both shady behaviors belying ulterior motives.

  • Is it rude to go through the car wash with a bunch of snow on your car?

    Jump

  • I've laughed a number of times watching a car stop at a light or stop sign only to have the entire contents of their snow covered roof slide down the windshield completely obscuring their view. Like had to put flashers on and get out to clean.

  • Killing of Mexican drug cartel boss ‘El Mencho’ triggers wave of violence

    Jump

  • But how does that benefit the shareholders?

  • Why some cities are ditching their Flock license plate readers

    Jump

  • Yup. Was just looking mine up and it seems like any material is illegal. If it only affected visibility from certain vertical angles I might be willing to give it a go.
