“Renner in the wings to take over.”

Renner is only 8 years younger than Cruise (not much to build an new franchise on)... and his face is much more weathered looking - so much that they played that fact up in the recent Hawkeye TV series with Renner wearing a hearing aid and complaining about aches and pains like a…

“yet they still thought amidst that level of future tech, fax machines would be a thing.”

Fun fact... as of 2021 100% of business and 45% of households in Japan still use fax machines.

Does anyone really know what is in the “Beyond Meat” and “Impossible Burgers”? (6_6). (9_9) jk as person who doesn’t eat burgers regularly, but when I do, I want it to be tasty... I found Impossible Meats patties tolerable in the same way that most mediocre burger patties are acceptable with sufficient condiments. I…

Oh, you are probably right about that... I agree it’s unlikely a single Amber Alert caused that... most likely the kid been listening to loud music for a while now with the parent being oblivious... and the loud Amber Alert just got their attention. Like how some parents of autistic children believe their children…

Yes... there is an entire company, Puro, dedicated to making headphone with volume limiters to protect children’s ears. It was created by the founder when his teenager daughter suffered permanent hearing loss from listening to music too loud (he kept telling her to turn down the volume... but try getting a teenage…

I did say if we “ignore air resistance.” However, I don’t think the air resistance component is that strong... it just makes the math more complicated

According to a Stanford Physics professor the terminal velocity of a GoPro is roughly 67mph (~30 m/s) after 3 seconds of free fall (ugh Kinja handles links really poor…

maybe an off-the-shelf GoPro wouldn’t survive >1,000 gs of force? 

Unless the Tesla is also randomly switch measurement unit (from mph to kph or vice versa)... the only situation I can think of this is happening is that some international tourist (American visiting China or anyone visiting the US) rents Tesla... put it into “Track Mode” to race... and mistakes metric vs imperial…

“they” to refer to a singular person!”

“nepotism babies in one way or another, coming from parents who are filmmakers, painters, playwrights, and actors.”

I’d like to develop a kind of water vapor-drawing Shamwow

Being very bored, about a decade ago I read a book called “Taste What You’re Missing” which is written by a super-taster and Food scientist... and she wrote that one of the reasons artificial sweeteners taste wrong how it hits your tongue over time. I think natural sugars roll in with sweetness gradually over the…

If the EV market truely wants to become green and sustainable, it really needs to move on from lithium and quick

I’m sticking with paying high gas prices on my paid off cars vs taking another note to pay off. Close commutes and part time WFH more than cancel the need for a new car.

More my thinking was Tuca & Bertie couldn’t get a 2nd season despite loads of acclaim,

I found it while looking for things to load up on to the tablet to give our kids something to watch on a long car drive.

“Alex Choi” is Exhibit A of why “model minority” is myth, or at least comes with a shitton of exceptions.

I don’t understand how it could be copyright infringement when published on Youtube: the very outlet that Choi allowed to publish the video in the first place.

I guess there’s more sensitivity around that issue in Japan, which is kind of funny given how casual racism doesn’t seem to get you in trouble in Japan.

Awesome... will add to my queue... but October 2022? Why try to drum up interest 8 months in advance?
