“This also means the temperature of the ball of ice will chill the drink while diluting it much slower than regular ice would”

Nobody goes to Taco Bell to get Mexican food. People go to Taco Bell to get Taco Bell. Everyone knows it’s not Mexican food.

“Did you know that the original saying is actually “blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb?””

If you can afford the up front costs, getting some Trex (or other brand of composite decking) is totally worth it. It’s 30+ years of not having to refinish, not having to worry about splinters, not having to worry about screws popping out which catch your feet.

The number 1 use of Android Auto is maps. Having your directions on a large, easy to see screen is way better and safer than having it on a tiny phone.

I feel like we’re going to have to re-name ghost kitchens, because it really makes sense that soon there will be restaurants which are “delivery/pickup only” and that it will be a common thing. Why should a restaurant that is to-go only be somehow “penalized” for not being a real place?

I’d say you’d be better off cutting some of those other wedding expenses, then cutting a fun proposal (if both you and the fiance would find it fun).

While flight attendants should be paid more, the way they are paid is not illegal. The total time they are working is tracked, and if total amount paid/total number of hours worked fell below minimum wage, then it would be illegal. It’s still scummy, and it should be changed, but it’s not illegal.

But also... good.

No it’s not. Yes, A&W hired them. But their report was not released, nor did they make a claim about findings. The CEO made this claim about the research. It could be fabricated, or even just one person in the focus group put that down and he ran with it. Or it could be real, but seems unlikely.

It is a bit of an upfront investment, but it really does help to use smart home devices which use a hub, instead of directly connecting to your Wi-Fi. Easier to control them all (especially say, if you decide to change your wi-fi password), and doesn’t use your bandwidth.

I live in CA, where 5ish years ago, they “banned single use plastic bags” at grocery stores. And something I can’t find- did this actually reduce the amount of plastic used? My guess is... no.

The salad bar hasn’t went away, and shouldn’t go away, and we knew early on in the pandemic that surface transmission is not a common way COVID is spread, and yet people still did all sorts of stupid “surface transmission” health theater.

It’s not “well documented,”  it’s “frequently documented.” There are many, many articles about it. But every single one of them only have a single source- the CEO claiming it. There is no follow up. No evidence presented. Just the quote from the CEO.

“However, customers everywhere made the mistaken assumption that because “4" is bigger than “3,” the McDonald’s burger was actually larger, and therefore the better deal. Woo, American math skills!”

The tech world loves to talk about the difference between “waterproof” and “water resistant” but that difference doesn’t exist. Nothing is “waterproof” in the way this article is talking. Everything has a depth and time limit. Even submarines, if they go deep enough, for long enough, they will leak.

But Radar Cruise Control doesn’t make it more or less likely for someone to pull in front of you. Your first comment made it seem like RCC is what allowed people to jump in front of you.

Why do you care if another car gets in front of you?

Also, you can’t see if if you’re wearing polarized sunglasses

On the other hand, good ACC (like the Mazda system) is, if anything, undervalued. I don’t think I would ever buy a car with ACC again, now that I have one with it.
