It’s mind boggling how poorly designed most of these systems are. These are multi-billion dollar corporations and they can’t do a simple thing correctly for the most part when it comes to these systems.

For example, I don’t know why this isn’t the top and foremost thing but a car should NEVER be able to override when the human driver is trying to do. Sure, beep and adjust if veering out of the lane but as soon as any resistance it met by the wheel it should immediately turn off and let the driver do what they want to do.

How do they determine the beginning of a river? Should it be the furthest point of something? Why isn’t the Missouri River the “Mississippi” and the remaining portion of the Mississippi north of that junction the Missouri instead?

Are there any studies that link phone use inside schools to those issues? Because I can easily believe that declining grades could be attributed towards the use of tablets and laptops being used in classrooms as well which many schools are encouraging or increasing the use of.

As for attention spans I would believe it’s for the use of phones/tablets/electronics from a young age rather than the use of them inside of a school itself.

I would have to put it away in some locked account that only pays interest each year and doesn’t let me have any access for like 20 years. Otherwise it would be gone in 4 months.

Also people don’t know how to be social anymore so they find it easier to tell a robot to write a warm rejection email rather than writing one themselves.

Probably fire a few people so they can maintain their giant bonuses for executives

Honestly I don’t understand how Google is such a valuable company. They are absolutely useless for so much shit.

“automated”

There is noaccurated and efficient automation when it comes to people. Sure you can flag some phrase that gets sent but unless you know the person there is no way you can say if it’s a real threat or not. You will need someone to go through months of messages and phone their friends and family to understand if it’s a real potential threat or just a joke/dark humour/bad day.

Having automatic phrases or words that might alert FBI about an imminent threat is just stupid.

If anything put them on a watchlist where an investigator is sent out, but that’s it.

Don’t see why they can’t just have locked down WiFi networks so only staff and school equipment can use it and then have some sort of localized cell phone jamming that automatically turns off if a fire alarm or other alarm is triggered for emergencies.

I built my first PC 6 years ago, before PS5 was released.

My PC can still play new release AAA games at high quality graphics and probably will for a number of years still… when it starts to slack a couple hundred $ and it will be good as new.

Was pricey up front but in the end better quality, more choice, and longer lasting.

So the actually useful product gets shit down for the useless product

I like how everyone is inventing a scenario to fit the two lines of dialogue and claiming it’s this or that.

There’s no way to definitely say if it’s reasonable or not because they guy could be prioritizing gaming over his life and relationship or the lady could just be embarrassed that she is dating a guy with “immature” hobbies and he may be very regulated about the time spent gaming.

In one scenario it’s reasonable in the other it’s not.

Birders can be weird. Some can get very competitive, not surprised some would make fake images to pretend they saw some rare bird in an area they aren’t normally seem or something.

I agree with everything except the loan interest increases.

Maybe they shouldn’t have a mortgage on a property they are renting if that’s going to cause them issues. Just sell it

I would say that they should just get taxed at what ever the price is on December 31 or January 01.

If you lose money you can claim it as a loss just as you would when you sell for a loss, up to a certain limit.

Yeah, it’s technically true lol

If your parents were infertile than you wouldn’t exist so you wouldn’t have kids either.

Nothing in that sentence implies that you not being able to have kids means your parents couldn’t have kids.

If it’s something like bacon grease you can just wait for it to congeal and then scooped it into trash and wipe with a paper towel.

It’s sort of the risk you take when buying a property with an easement though. Their realtor should have disclosed that.

If it wasn’t there when they bought it the utility company should have had to at least pay market value for the land.

It doesn’t violate constitutional rights as long as whatever the camera can detect/see would be the same as a police officer. If it has a license plate reader and face detection or whatever it’s unconstitutional because an officer probably wouldn’t have been able to issue a ticket if it were a person there instead of a camera. If it’s something like an obviously missing seatbelt or phone use seen through the window at a reasonable angle it’s constitutional.

I don’t understand the “face an accuser in court” argument. It’s a photo. You argue about the photo with the judge. The photo is your accuser.

No all three accepted offer, signed employment letter, went through a certification test that’s required for the work and cost the company $100. Then 2-3 weeks before the start date they say they got a better job.

We hire early to make sure certification can get done, which is why there’s a lag before start date. It’s an outdoor seasonal summer job usually university students.
