This is true, and it’s something my favorite self-help book talks about. Look up Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking. In addition, the mental component is often overlooked as the physical addiction and withdrawal symptoms are exaggerated. In reality, nicotine begins leaving your body almost immediately and you are…
When you see people line up for hours for shit like this, you realise just how many people don’t value their own time.
Amazon’s Face Recognition Tech Once Again Pegs Politicians as Criminals
So there was one story in one of those books where a vacationing family brings back a “dog” and it turns out to be basically a giant rat and we’re supposed to be all aghast or whatever. But the thing is, they were in South America, so their giant rat was actually probably a capybara, and capybaras are just the best.

In my experience the only valid method of imposing any kind of control on a local population (a group of pigs is called a Sounder) is to bait them into a strong temporary pen with feed over a couple days (corn feed soaked in beer works great) and then drop a gate remotely or with a pull line to shut them inside once…

If you do discover spyware, then you’re in an even more awkward position than you were at the beginning.

Generally, this only happens if you try to add the tip into the credit card payment up-front. That’s been a bad idea for tipping for decades. Just don’t do it. Not in restaurants. Not in taxis. Not to delivery drivers. As soon as you do that, chances of the person serving you getting the tip you intended drop to…

AZ has a law allowing communities to bill people who have to be rescued bypassing a barrier and driving into flood waters. It’s known as “The Stupid Motorist Law”.
These are not a clever people.
I wish I had the fortitude and intelligence to scam conservatives because they are regularly the dumbest people in existence. Qanon, Televangelists, Milo Yanapolis (w/e), Andy Ngo, Laura Loomer, Jacob Wohl, the Trump’s, that guy who set up the build our wall GoFundMe... If you’re a con artist you can make bank.

It’s taken me years, but I finally learned to let go of nerd trinkets. The turning point for me was when I realized I had a bunch of crap lying around for things that I didn’t really like anymore, and yet I was still dusting them or trying to find storage space for them.
The issue, as I understand it, isn’t with air pressure as much as wind velocity creating lift on the roof structures. Especially so if the envelope of the building is compromised by a window or door opening being broken open. Then the roof pulls off and everything inside ends up outside. I worked in architecture and…
