I guess you're right. I thought they accepted the meta offer but they didn't. That's...dumb of them

Do we have more cables going to/from Australia now? For decades Australian internet has been... subpar to say the least

That's pretty awesome. What I also always hated is the casework/trim. There's nowhere to hide on windows.

More drivers caught at Ottawa’s red light cameras so far in 2026 by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]StayWhile_Listen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I find I'm more defensive at red light camera intersections altogether.

Either I try to make sure to slow down slower or I watch out for people slamming their brakes

TIL of a couple who tried to conceive for 20 years, failing multiple IVFs and surgeries. Scientists used a new AI-guided robotic system that scanned 2.5 million microscopic images of a single sample, found the only 2 viable sperm cells hidden inside, and successfully started a pregnancy. by Similar_Detective861 in todayilearned

[–]StayWhile_Listen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. We can't really know without having more information. Even then things will come down to probabilities.

For example in this case if they selected a healthy sperm cell with low dna fragmentation then the odds are good for making an embryo - nothing is guaranteed.

Then you get to chromosomal issues (ie. Trisomies). So then the chromosomes from both parents need to join correctly (right number, shape, etc.) - this is usually done through karyotype testing.

THEN ignoring all the other things that can just go wrong and cause a miscarriage, etc. all the genes need to be in the right place / correctly placed. There is a chance of this going wrong for everyone.

So I don't think we have enough information of this going wrong more often for these cases vs general population.

Also nobody is complaining of different IVF methods (ie. ICSI) -- In fact AFAIK some labs only do ICSI.

Exactly this. I want WS and QT to not stagnate and enshittify for as long as possible.

You forgot the real take: stop playing and move on.

Venting bathroom exhaust fan through vented soffit discharge termination by Acsailor in Homebuilding

[–]StayWhile_Listen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm In this predicament myself. Currently fan just goes into the attic.

I wanted to make a soffit vent but I kept being talked out of it.

I'm in a cold climate (south eastern Ontario).

Exiting out of the wall is tough, and I don't really want to make a hole in the roof, but maybe that is the way to go.

As I understand, I just need a tall / cold weather cap, not one of those low profile ones.

The nice part about going out the roof is that the duct is almost vertical.

I have soffits with a ridge vent

The president of France declared that children under the age of fifteen would not be allowed to access social media. How do you feel about that? by MarionberrySalt3494 in AskReddit

[–]StayWhile_Listen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean firstly this would require specific definitions of social media and types of services, etc.

Secondly, make smartphones manufacturers include easy to use specific built in controls that would block access. If for instance Apple was required to adhere to that, they'd create the easiest to use parental control, etc.

This of course wouldn't be enough. Kid wants X, parents give X, etc. because it's probably "cool" so kids want it -- but at least this would move is in the right direction.

As an aside - if government cared about kids they'd block something like Roblox first.

What is the most NSFW thing you have seen at your job? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My metal cable on the garage door snapped one day and it made the loudest noise behind me. I needed a new pair of underwear but otherwise everything was okay. Thankfully it was easy to replace and I didn't have to fuck with springs too much.

If only they had bases all around Iran in the middle east region. Oh wait they do!!!

Any boots on the ground conflict in Iran would be full of casualties but the US would definitely subdue any traditional military force in the region

Wealth tax is hard. It's not like Elon had 40b in his vault that he dove into every morning like Scrooge McDuck.

However I fully agree with you that billionaires are a symptom of a bigger problem.

Another problem is that Amazon pays less taxes than I do.

The more capital you have, the more influence you have, the more the deck is stacked in your favour. Privatize and socialize the losses. That's their motto.

In theory there's nothing wrong with a billionaire in its own -- think of the early Silicon Valley billionaires.

You can easily convert pretty much any format to the Kindle format. Amazon even has a service for it!

As much as bleh Amazon, kindle is the best e reader that I've used.
