They specifically held off a day so all the stoners would still be passed out from partaking yesterday to let the curious regular folks get in on the game. https://www.nj.com/entertainment/2022/04/nj-misses-420-party-by-a-day-with-recreational-weed-sales-debut-thats-by-design.html

Lasting impression of that movie was in the “people *really* didn’t get it” vein. We were in college, and for some reason my friend went to see it by himself. After the credits for Planet Terror start rolling, the theater starts to empty. The guy sitting in front of him turns to my friend, slaps the seat back and…

I’ve always wondered if the original idea at Uber wasn’t this. If they undercut the local cab companies enough, they’d eventually get the taxi commissions to license the platform and make their money there.

Mount Laurel has a particularly racist history; the whole “fair housing” doctrine in NJ came out of the NAACP suing Mount Laurel township for its zoning precluding minorities moving out of Camden and driving out the one historic black community that had been there since the 1700s. From the link below:

And as you can probably guess by now, it’s one of those things that sounds profound until you stop to think about it for three seconds.

This resulted in long lines that could last between 10 to 15 minutes at the computer where employees have to clock in and out for their break.

Question for someone who has a better idea of how screen technology works: is this the solution for foldable personal devices? I guess the question really is, how would the “Adaptive Gap Calibration” appear if the panels were the size of two smartphones/one tablet screen? Does it only work if you’re far enough away to…

I tried to get a capsule (the website went live two minutes early and I got stuck in “line” for checkout before shopify gave a message that I had too many requests from my network), but couldn’t care less about the sandwich. I was going to give the coupon/voucher away. I wanted the weird kitschy hoodie that I probably…

And for my serious take now that I saw the embedded Steven Shen tweet, this seems like an even more half-baked feature than I originally thought/as presented in the article.

Obviously the AI was trained watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

While not quite as poetic, this has been a feature of US law for years. The traditional “nuisance” law held that you couldn’t sue someone when you bring yourself to the nuisance, e.g., a city person moving to the country can’t sue the farmer for the roosters crowing or the smell of cow manure. Then pretty much every…

Still don’t understand how the local ISP monopolies aren’t treated like the Bell System. Bell had a monopoly on telephone service in exchange for the phone lines going literally EVERYWHERE in the United States. Including all the rural areas that would’ve been cost prohibitive and left unconnected if not forced to…

So I’ve been playing with the idea that one could easily start a counter discourse in the QAnon circles that “Q” is doing this all as a false flag to cover up for the fact that Trump himself is the king of the pedophiles.

My first thought was, “how hard is it to ID the person running out of the building in the specific outfit caught on video holding a gun?” And then I remembered it’s Florida so 95% of the population is either in a full tracksuit or tracksuit pants & tank top and carrying, so yeah, maybe it is a legit concern.

Maybe I just haven’t read enough into the companies, but I’ve never understood what Uber and Lyft’s initial long-game was. Right now, they’re both supposed to be using the drivers-as-contract-workers to bridge into the eventual company-owned fleets of autonomous vehicles, but I honestly don’t think the founders of…

That’s exactly it. Even Rome, which has been continuously occupied to various extents for over 2,700 years, had large sections buried over the centuries, as the population would ebb and flow and areas would be abandoned. The Roman Forum was famously called “The Cow Field” in the 17th and 18th century, and slowly…

Just in case people actually read the comments on this post, this is NOT a jump starter. It will not help you if your battery dies anywhere other than near a standard outlet, and even then, it’s not going to jump the car, just slowly charge the battery. This is a “trickle” charger, which you generally use with…

I’ve been going to see Princeton football games since I was a kid and have memorized their spiel in the game day program about the birth of college football with the game between them and Rutgers in 1869. For the past few years, we were joking about them scheduling a 150th anniversary rematch to gift Rutgers a win.…

And the Hartford fans took the unwritten rule breaking enforcement a step further.

This looks like they contract with the manufacturer of the Home Depot HDX small parts bins, except the HDX are $12 for a two-pack and were $10 for the two-pack for most of the past year. https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-15-Compartment-Interlocking-Small-Parts-Organizer-in-Black-2-Pack-320034/204515485
