My God what hubris. Rush had so many chances to pause the dive or work on a redesign and ignored it. I can’t imagine the fear of being 3000+ feet below and hearing the first cracks of the hull as it starts to implode. Hope it was fast.

Thank fucking God. Someone with sense finally showing up in Jeff city.

Fingers double crossed for Missourians this fall.

I mean there was that story about RFK eating dog. I think he’s a citizen though, as much as I’d love for him to go away.

(NOTE- the story was found to be false.)

The FTC has been CRUSHING IT under the current leaders by actually enforcing existing rules. I hope Kamala tells those donors to pound sand.

+1 Usual Suspects for sure. That movie blew my mind.

I agree generally, but I think the debates mainly help the undecided, who aren’t going to automatically think well of Trumps constantly talking over her. Probably still best for maintaining general state of decorum and sanity. But Harris has a good reason to want Trump to talk himself into a corner.

There isn’t the same level of pressure to commit to DEI as their is to stop it, and those supporting the latter position are probably seen as likely Ford customers.

I’m sure cutting investment in any program also saves them money, which has to be seen as a benefit too.

Hey good catch! I’ll try to ring my dealership to see if I can get that checked out during my next oil change visit.

Thanks

Got a '24 outback late last year. For the most part I love it-it’s comfortable, holds my giant dogs and it’s way better to drive in bad weather than my previous car.

I’d read reports on subaru forums that infotainment was bad, so my expectations were low. But even basic stuff isn’t functional. It has gotten less responsive over the months (reminder: we’ve had it just barely a year). The screen has several seconds of lag with every touch, and sometimes controls just don’t work at all. I don’t like that we have to use it for temperature control, and android auto integration is clunky (though that may not be Subaru’s fault).

Add that to the horrifying data collection practices and it makes me question ever getting a Subaru again.

It think it might work better to do a maximum length of service. Will generally have the same effect but should make it easier to keep from having a huge number of people rotate out at once, which would be pretty disruptive.

I’m hoping they learned their lesson with 3. I liked many of the changes to game mechanics but the story and characters were awful. Plus the idea that basically every woman is a siren is just a little worn out.

Would be interesting to see the GOP try to run with this messaging. As much as they hate “dei hires” they would jump all over that part, but seeing that it benefitted a white male would likely make them short circuit.

This guy looks like Chris Elliot to me.

I suspect nhtsa is facing pressure to push through EVs as part of the larger effort to promote move to carbon emissions reduction.

I see something old-times, like Pearl or Ethel.

I live in STL and get a constant flood of campaign flyer garbage from Wesley bells campaign and pacs all trying to get rid of Cori.

The paper waste alone makes me not want to vote for Bell, but the more I read about him the more I think this guy is supported by the wrong people for very wrong reasons.

I wonder how much things like drift and recursion (ai training on its own data) would have on applications like this. I assume it’s like most and it it would just produce nonsense. But since it would likely result in cuts to the animation staff, I’d think recovery from model collapse would be harder since getting new data takes time, staff resources that would be hard build up while in the middle of development.

Oh yeah absolutely. But aside from random studies that all “show promising possibilities for future treatments” right now I don’t know that there’s a good outlook for anyone even if they get diagnosed today.

But if that changed I’d be first in line for the test.

So maybe this is an unpopular opinion but since there isn’t a cure I don’t think I want to know. If I’m not symptomatic why put myself and my family through more time just waiting for it to appear.

Multiple issues with this article (and maybe the underlying study).

No mention of the sampling strategy - what were their average hours of work per week ? What was the average income (not including $1000 from the UBI)

Why is productivity measured as # hours worked? I can sit on my ass without doing anything or I can bust my butt to get shit done. It’s a lot easier to generate good work (and do more with fewer hours) when I’m not stressed about where my rent is coming from.

What about other outcomes besides work? How about amount of savings and ability to cover unexpected expenses? It’s certainly a good thing for people to get some savings for emergencies, job loss etc even if the benefits aren’t seen in the economy for a while. But even if people are spending that money it still supports the economy regardless of whether it is done in the name of leisure or to get a new job.
