I like to imagine that UPN originally had their sights a lot higher, before realizing that with their budget, Richard Jeni was the best they could do.

This is one of the truest things I’ve ever read on Kinja.

Nearly 95% of drugs that enter human trials fail to obtain FDA approval, according to one 2019 study, meaning animal testing doesn’t seem to be much of an effective filter.

Our local town website — which I use to pay some utilities — is ridiculous like this. No $ required, but you do have to type in how much you’re going to pay, and it complains if you leave off the “.00" even though it’s never ANYTHING but “.00"

I briefly considered a reference to the movie Twister, but that would’ve been weak sauce.

I will never not laugh at this one.

This kind of thing makes me NUTS. Mostly because input validation takes very little effort, and even a tiny bit of QA should have exposed it.

Yep.  Until a couple years ago, one of our departments had a critical “database” that was an Excel workbook on a shared drive.  We’re really high up on the Fortune 500, but I spent years trying to get that replaced with a simple web app.  Couldn’t get it funded, because the only things that got any funding were things…

Which explains why so many episodes of Trek began with the Enterprise in the middle of a mission to chart shit.

We’re caught in a babbleclone! It’s ripping us apart!

My interpretation is that it’s a “gotcha” moment for them, because she didn’t stop immediately. I think it’s wrapped up in some gross, women-hatey thing like “well if your abusive ex made you do so much, why didn’t you stop the second he was gone, maybe you’re lying about everything.”

You’re the one babbling. She could have just fired them all and called it a day. In fact, by not doing so, imbeciles have jumped on that as a sign she hasn’t changed her streaming.

That’s because they’re only worried about crime as committed by brown people.

I work for a very large employer. We have both union and non-union employees. If you have a non-union job, with a few exceptions you’re called a manager (and salaried). We all work a good chunk of unpaid overtime.

Depending on how many hours those people work, OT might still be more expensive.

Only 72% of rural U.S. adults surveyed by Pew Research in 2021 said they had acres to home broadband, compared to 77% of rural adults.

Yeah, it’s hard to see this solution working in a place that gets a lot of snowfall.  And they’re supposed to be place at the end of my driveway, where I don’t really want tracks laid.  And as zerodb points out, the trash cans will, at best, end up somewhat near the carts.

Can you cite examples?  Most studies are more granular than that.

Even I know better, and I have won a total of...one sec, doing math, checking notes...oh yeah. Zero fights in my entire life.

I can’t like this enough!
