I know my comment isn’t really that helpful here but seriously what the fuck is going on?

The youtube app on iOS uses a different volume notification thing, just a little bar at the top of the screen, and it’s insane how much better it is.

Next time there’s a blizzard or a winter weather warning I urge you to hang out outdoors without appropriate clothing.

That was my thought too. Nobody is comparison shopping vegetable prices while inside Whole Foods, and Amazon’s bookstores don’t care if you buy the book online from the cheapest seller (Amazon.com 99% of the time).

I did some math. I took a map of Turner Field with the distances from home plate to the wall measured and figured out that on my map 1 pixel was 1.6 feet.

“Are people really so addicted to their phones that they can’t just put them down for a duration of a drive—that they need an intervention?”

The biggest one? If someone constantly complains about how bad all the drivers around them are they’re probably a bad driver.

I was traveling with a cat once and wanted a pat down in a private room so the stupid cat wouldn’t get away. All of the TSA agents at the gate agreed that they don’t offer that ever for any reason.

It’s survivorship bias. You know the block casting is good if it lasted 100k kms without fault and passed inspection after.

$100k can go fast these days. You could total two F150s and be over your coverage.

The driver had insurance, but it only enough to cover $100,000, and Shat says he paid $250,000 for the car. The frame was bent on impact, and he’s unsure what he’ll do from here to replace it.

Touchscreens don’t have haptic feedback. A button is always located in the same place, it doesn’t move, it has clear edges and you know you clicked it.

The original clickwheel iPods were mirror finish stainless on the back that scratched and scuffed like crazy.

This is tougher than it looks.

As we’ve covered on Morning Shift before, a lot of this has to do with a generation of engineers who only think of tech as software development rather than vehicles or manufacturing, so they get lured to Silicon Valley after graduation instead of Detroit.

This is way better than the usual gawker “gluten sensitivity isn’t a thing it’s not real” “what about celiac” “gluten sensitivity isn’t real”.

My wife has celiac, and it’s a mixed bag. A lot of times I’ll say something to the waiter like “She has celiac, she’s not eating gluten free because of a fad diet she’ll get very sick” and they’ll dramatically change their level of seriousness which is annoying because most people assume you’re a moron worried about…

nailed it

This is great but I felt like it was missing something...
