  • Jimmy Kimmel is more popular than Trump, new poll finds

    Jump

  • I had never paid much attention to Kimmel, (or any late night host personality) but sure I’ll watch Kimmel now.

  • US states rethink a long-held practice of setting speed limits based on how fast drivers travel

    Jump

  • Doesn’t seem like that would be effective on something like the interstate highways. I’d imagine actually fining people would work.

    An area close to where I live turned on speeding cameras for a work zone that’s been notorious for speeders. They clocked 38,000+ tickets in the first week.

    One of them was for 106 in a 60 mph zone. I haven’t kept up with it since they turned it on but it was desperately needed.

    Disclosure: I’m not any expert on road safety or driver psychology. Just someone that used to drive 50k+ miles a year and saw a lot of what I thought were trends.

  • Do you try to protect your onsite backup from fire?

    Jump

  • Well, honestly they’re not really good for anything. Most manufacturers use a bake type method, which is not in anyway comparable to a house engulfed in actual flames.

    As a general consumer, this is about the best you can do. Put whatever in a “fireproof” bag inside a “fireproof” safe and you might save your data in the event of a fire.

    It’s the same thing about gun “safes”. They’re not really safes unless you spend big money. Like $10,000+. Otherwise they’re categorized as “residential containers”.

    I should have clarified whether or not my answer was in response to “is it possible” instead of “is it recommended”.

  • Do you try to protect your onsite backup from fire?

    Jump

  • I think they mean if you’re using removable media that is easily portable then the answer to your question about fire proofing is doable.

    You can store them in a fire safe when not actively backing up or need constant access.

  • North Carolina parents arrested for letting their kid walk to the store. On his way home, he was killed by an SUV. The parents were charged with manslaughter.

    Jump

  • I will admit, it certainly comes across like that. But it was more an illustration of how America works. This entire event is some crazy satire political cartoon that manifested itself.

  • The filters in my Corsi-Rosenthal Box look after 30 days of continuous use...

    Jump

  • If you go for the 2” thick filters they breathe better and have more surface area.

  • In Finland, they advertise the largest container of mayonnaise as "American Size"

  • When I worked in foodservice, we bought it by the gallon. People would ask for it as a dressing on their salads. Gross.

    Typical South Eastern US.

  • MS restaurant excludes LGBTQ couples from promotion, drops MAGA discount, issues apology

    Jump

  • I’ve worked at a couple of Mom & Pop places in the south during my youth, and generally they were terrible with money, racist, and tried avoiding taxes any way they could.

    Small sample size with a sprinkle of confirmation bias on my end, but there are usually signs.

    Always need help? Discount on cash purchases? Making the customer pay the credit card transaction fee?

    There are many others, but those are generally the biggest ones where management is just interested in customer sympathy and the bottom line.

  • Tesla Is Allegedly Withholding Wages Of German Employees On Sick Leave

    Jump

  • That’s disheartening to hear. At least Tesla has to sell cars to even stick around and it doesn’t look good for them in Europe so far.

    Why don't the democratic voters actually riot over Trump and Musk instead of writing nice words on a Musk-owned social media?

    Jump

  • I agree. I certainly felt the outcome was going to be much different.

  • They weren’t beaten badly, it was barely a 1.5% margin. Electoral votes….different story. But even then, this illustrates that a few more votes in key states would have had a drastically different outcome.

  • ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Is Doing 70,000 Steam Players A Night, Four Years Later

    Jump

  • It’s wild, I don’t remember the Witcher 3 being anywhere near this bad. I had my own issues in that game regarding the combat and some bs moments that made me reload and lose an hour because I was dumb and didn’t quick save, but cyberpunk doesn’t even feel like a cdpr game. Which is good in some ways I guess that they were able to break their own mold.

    Idk, there’s just a bunch of little issues still. But if this is what it’s like 4 years later I can’t even imagine what it was like at launch.

  • ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Is Doing 70,000 Steam Players A Night, Four Years Later

    Jump

  • I picked up cyberpunk last summer (finally) and while it’s visually stunning and fairly immersive, I had some game breaking bugs where I had to reload several hours beforehand and redo certain missions until they triggered properly. Not once, but several times. And I didn’t even mod anything.

    I think my favorite was fast traveling with Claire, ending up in the sky and falling out of the truck. Reloaded, did the mission again only to splatter myself and die because I got shot out of the truck. Third time she wouldn’t stop driving around the block. I let it go for a good half hour just to see if it would end but it never did. Eventually the AI just kept driving into the wall of a building. Reloaded….again.

    There were a lot of others but that took me all afternoon just to finish that one race. I had probably a dozen similar issues throughout my playthrough and it really tanked my enthusiasm for the game. I’ll finish it eventually.

  • Yea this stinks of someone’s palms not getting greased enough.

  • Excuse the old man question, but if I buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max outright, with no carrier. I can set it up with my current carrier easily?

    Jump

  • Sorry, I meant to say for your current phone. Otherwise you’ll have some sort of road block if the carrier sees your current phone as locked. I had that issue with Sprint years ago.

    Jump

  • You can verify by going to Settings->General->About.

    Towards the bottom there should be “Carrier Lock” and it should say/list “No SIM Restrictions”.

    If it doesn’t, you’ll need to call your provider to have them unlock the phone.
