Is there anything this device can do that a professional can’t set up a phone with an RF transmitter to do just as well? If not it seems less of a tool for pros and more of a shortcut for enthusiasts. Many of whom will enthusiastically violate FCC regulations and privacy laws with it, immediately upon opening.

Why would anyone have thought that was the purpose of building extremely expensive expert systems?

Thanks for the information. Are those replacement refrigerants being used in air conditioning systems or refrigerators/freezers? I think I'd like to know if flammable gases are being compressed around me.

Apparently the types that are showing up unexpectedly are CFC-13 and CFC112a. I’ve never heard of either and Google was not helpful beyond a long chemical name.

My guess is it’s some kind of “Truman Show” scenario on a larger scale and the writers have their fingers crossed no one remembers it’s been done before.

I hadn't thought of "Just Like A Woman" in years. In retrospect it seems nearly as creepy as some of Conway Twitty's stuff.

My father loved all those old movies so I’ve seen at least two of those. Not sure about the Kettles in Waikiki. Never thought I’d see a reference to Frances The Talking Mule on here. Dad had a whole thing about how Mr. Ed was just a rip-off. Weird guy, my dad.

Does no one realize the difference between a portrayal of a famous vocalist and a famous songwriter, correct? No one cares how he sings Dylan because anyone can do a decent enough impression. When the subject is famous for their vocal abilities it’s an issue because it’s unlikely the actor can in any way replicate the…

That’s funny, I went to respond to a reply to my previous comment on this thread and find that it has become grey despite being previously visible. Hopefully that’s just Kinja. I’d hate to think that you dismissed a perfectly reasonable comment that you didn’t even bother to respond to simply because it disagreed with…

Y’all remember that weird picture of DeSantis in those white rubber boots? Waders or something. How about when the conservatives got in a tizzy because the candies weren’t sexy enough or whatever? Well has any genius managed to Photoshop together Ron in his rubbers and the green M&M in her go-to boots? If they have…

You've questioned the narrative by which they make sense of the world but instead of broadening their thinking you've earned a place in that narrative as an antagonist. 

Since Winnie The Pooh is now out of copyright they should make a Shrek Donkey spinoff where he gets old, depressed, leaves the swamp for the Hundred Acre Woods and changes his name to Eeyore to try to cure the PTSD he got from all those fairy tale adventures.

Is there a way to say a woman is a terrible actor whose professional value is solely based on her appearance that can’t be seen as sexist or cruel even if it’s completely true?

AsSorry if I wasn’t clear, I meant to ask if you think any of the varieties of Jewish people would qualify as people of color along with why or why not.

It would be nice but I don’t think that kind of top-down manipulation of public opinion works. If cultural change isn’t organic you end up with situations like the one we’re in today, where a considerable amount of the population has put themselves into camps so opposite to one another that they can’t agree on facts,…

But seriously folks, only in the worst faith possible interpretation of “Kiss The Girl” would anyone assume that Eric was “forcing himself” on Ariel.

John Leguizamo talks about discrimination against Latin people as if that’s the only thing that held his career back. Maybe if he mostly spoke about the plight of the people who grow our food and are treated as livestock by farmers rather than complaining about all the calls he’s not getting it wouldn’t come off as…

How about Jewish people? Plenty of Ashkenazi Jews pass for white but often have distinctive features not usually found in other European populations. Sephardic and Israeli Jews are often identified as one of a number of different Middle Eastern ethnicities.

Mental illnesses are defined by society not some overarching set of rules. That’s why diagnoses and treatments change over time.
