This was explained in a deleted scene: since the UFO from the Roswell crash provided the insight into technology, microprocessors, minicomputers, etc. that fueled the post-war Computer Age, all our Earth computer systems were necessarily based on the alien’s architecture. We copied what we learned from them, starting…

I read an economist somewhere (maybe in Freakanomics?) studied it and found out speed bumps kill more people than they save.

How to ask this delicately... there are various bodily-related stains that accumulate on sheets... is there a good way to get them out, or, a set of sheets that is particularly stain-resistant? Let’s say that certain in-bed activities result in being too exhausted to get up, remove sheets, pre-treat stains, and…

Encountering an emergency vehicle? Obviously an “edge case”. Doesn’t apply to every day drivers! Right?

Yeah looks like the timecode “speeds up” and jumps many seconds in the space of a few

1) self-driving is pretty good at most things, except edge cases, and 2) almost everything is edge cases.

The standard rule of thumb for anything you see on Amazon applies here too: “If the name of the brand is six or seven random letters that barely form a pronounceable word, it’s a cheap Chinese knock-off” 

I have a coworker with a particularly annoying habit... every time she’s talking, it’s all one long run-on sentence. The words just keep flowing, uninterrupted, with barely a breath in between topics. Just continuous talking.

Uh, it was better than last week’s.

Tho Family Guy has, like, 20 episodes a year to keep track of (and in animation, they’re all going at the same time, so it’s simultaneously 20 episodes in various stages of completion) where Rick and Morty does 3 to 5 per batch it seems.

That Goldeneye theme music...

When Taco Bell figured out how to make Doritos Tacos. Gamechanger. 

My old Ford Probe had these little switches mounted to the console behind the wheel you could flick with a knuckle without taking the rest of the hand off the wheel. Best controls I’ve ever used.

It’s more likely they stuffed her in the tree soon after death, than, say, kill her, leave the body wherever until rigor mortis sets in, then wait out rigor mortis until she was pliable again, and then stuff her in the tree.

My biggest problem is that absolutely everyone now requires 2FA, so if I ever lose my wallet and phone, there’s no way to bootstrap the process of logging back in to everything to recover any of my accounts—and therefore—all of my accounts. I can’t log in to email without a phone, can’t reset my phone without a 2FA to…

NHTSA crash test of a 6000 psi Tesla air tank in a rear-end collision:

A 150L tank of 6000psi compressed air...

So she got this thing in 1999, which was 20 years after the organization admitted its first black members.

Headline reads she is a “celebrity with a racist past”.

So this thing had a racist past before 1990, then wasn’t *as* racist, and cleaned up and hid the racist stuff under the rug when she was 10 years old. Then 9 years later at 19 she gets signed up for the thing likely not knowing the past. Then, years later, acknowledges it was bad optics and apologizes for any support…
