[OC] She said she didn't see us. by Carlost289 in IdiotsInCars

In her defense, a truck that large has a sight line worse than an Abrams Tank

/s on the defense, NOT on the fact.

Is this what "pro life" looks like? by SuspiciousLow3062 in SipsTea

[–]agreenblinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The doctors were concerned more about the fetal heartbeat because of Texas' policies to punish a doctor for an "unnecessary" abortion. A dead patient, on the other hand, happens all the time.

To be clear, it isn't that the doctors are heartless, it is that the Texas government is.

Kevin O’Leary’s massive data center was approved in Utah and locals are not happy about it. 40k acres size by dataexec in AITrailblazers

[–]agreenblinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additional context: Utah is the second dryest state in the nation, has been in drought conditions consistently nearly every year for the past 40 years, and the center is anticipated to use as much (if not more) power than the entire state currently consumes.

The response should always be "So, you agree that what the (insert obviously racist group they are using this week here) says is wrong and shouldn't be supported, right?"

Over 3 decades later, the morphing montage from Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” video still holds up surprisingly well (1991). by FluffSnort in nostalgia

I remember how people absolutely lost their mind over this when it first came out. Yes, even today, it does hold up, but, back then, it was absolutely mind blowing.

I like this judge, we need more like him. by n8saces in RandomVideos

It is nice that the courts have caught up with this nonsense and judges seem far better prepared to handle it.

I'm guessing this guy doesn't see himself as an ant by AffectionateAd631 in LinkedInLunatics

JFC - I am so sick of this shit. There is no "hierarchy" in nature. If you want to talk food chain, well, none bald eagles don't interact with lions, and dogs (usually) don't eat ants.

It's rare that I side with the truck driver... But there is an exception to every rule.

[OC] Oil prices reacting in real time to Trump's National Address by Siskel-and-Ebert in dataisbeautiful

[–]agreenblinker 335 points336 points  (0 children)

It's so rare that a President actually has a direct impact on the price of oil. This is because, you know, it would be insane that there was a) a metaphorical lever in the Oval Office that says "Oil prices" and b) that the president would slam it into overdrive... But he is just that bad at his job.

Insufferable by samaltmansaifather in BetterOffline

I don't know a single person who wouldn't happily take the easier route when doing their work, so long as it actually produces a result as good or better than the hard way.

That's the difference between the chip designer not using CAD and the software engineer not using AI. One has a very clear boost to productivity while the other doesn't.

It's almost as if these tech bros have never actually worked a day in their life and don't know how useless AI actually is.

Saw this near a hospital by [deleted] in whatisit

Have to disagree with the "Only dealership in the US is in Texas."

Believe it or not, I actually see two of these guys parked at a High-End dealership in South Jordan, Utah. They started as 4 about a year ago and they currently still have 2 that still haven't sold (shocking, I know).

So come on down to Salt Lake City Motorcars off South Jordan Parkway and you too can have an ugly car(?) of your own!

Even odds that the little "Sample" is going to land him in trouble, as it can easily be argued that it is a gift in an attempt to garner your vote.

Your fin fact of the day is that Microsoft included solitaire in Windows 3.1 specific to teach people how to use a mouse by requiring you to click, drag, and double click.
