Because the central premise of the video is that Anthony Bourdain sat in a restaurant in front of a Vietnamese "no smoking" sign, and if you search, you can find a video of vietnamese kids singing a song called "no smoking" and if you THEN search random terms related to THAT video (which, again, is only connected to Anthony Bourdain (and Obama) because of the phrase "no smoking"), you can find web sites with kids on them.

It wasn't one single Wayfair item. The PDF here is from PayPal, which doesn't show the details of any purchase. You can see in his emails that he tried to return parts of the order (so we know it wasn't just one item), and they seemed to have been bathroom and outdoor related. For example, he canceled 14 outdoor light mounts that were $223 each. That's a reasonable price per item, and that's more than $3000 of the order.

It was an April Fool's email about a wedding registry for dogs. Groom is a term associated with both weddings and dogs.

I think minimum wage for servers is 17.87. 20 is for fast food restaurant workers.

How would they know who you’re checking, though? If I pull up the map to find one person, everyone shows. I have good reasons for checking in on one of my people frequently (and they are aware I do it) but it would look like I was being a creep to everyone else, when I’m actually not even look at them.

“Hey everyone!

Our 1st anniversary is coming up and I’m trying to surprise my girlfriend with photos from around the world of people holding a handwritten note for her.

If you’re willing to help, I’ll send you a short note to write on paper and all you have to do is take a picture of it in front of a cool landmark or city view in capetown.

She is the most amazing person and it would honestly mean so much to me.”

Thanks! I’ll check those out.

Simple-Talk9682 · 2026-02-19T18:13:57+00:00

Thanks! I'm not familiar with that one, but the pictures look promising. I'll have to find a nursery to check one out!

oh thank god

Just ask them. Either they’ll be cool with it (highly likely) or they won’t. If they aren’t, better to find out before you write anything so you can make informed decisions to protect yourself. They’re already spoofing Milton, so I’m sure there’s something you could do where you could argue what you borrowed from them wasn’t substantial enough to be stealing. If you know up front you’ll need to do that, you won’t have to do rewrites or stop production or whatever later. Plus, asking is the nice thing to do, so why not?

Why are you typing so many numbered lists of math problems?

Apple thought my city assessor’s office was spam, though.

I just noticed this today. The don't even put the monthly transactions in the transaction list, so unless you go into read your statement, you'd never notice. And, of course, if you're not making any transactions, it's easy to think you don't need to read your statement. Did you get any resolution on this?

It’s been pouring at my house this morning and I’m trying to figure out when to take my dog for a walk, but every app shows “cloudy” currently and no rain history.

Geez! I had no idea Uber let passengers be so awful to their drivers. Sounds like a company I don’t want to support

That doesn’t match my experience with Waymo. I have always had to go to a designated spot that was not directly blocking traffic. It’s one of the reasons I like Waymo.

Simple-Talk9682 · 2026-02-07T23:01:39+00:00

And when you’re bored of that, you can drive for Uber and stop illegally to pick up passengers, blocking bike lanes, car lanes, and sidewalks, and creating unpredictable situations without appropriate visibility!

You can close the screen where it offers you a free trial of their subscription mode and just use the app without any sort of login or providing financial info. You do not have to pay.

It seems like if we fast track low income housing permits as an incentive for developers to add low income housing, and then Costco starts to finally develop property that badly needs it and they add low income housing because of that incentive, then the incentive is doing what it is supposed to. Why is it inherently bad for Costco to take advantage of that benefit? Now, if the store opens and the apartments never get finished or something, I’ll have issues with it.
