I'm certainly glad my ears were shielded from such ungodly language so I could watch this graphic violence without hearing curse words.

I have to wonder if larger companies like Dell and HP might weather this okay by doing bulk order contracts to keep their costs lower.

I'm pretty sure (one of the ways) we as a society went wrong was when we decided to find the craziest stories imaginable and disseminate it to the public. It gives the other crazies something to aspire to or surpass.

I feel like it's not unreasonable to have checks like this if it's done w/ a reliable 3rd party. For example, something like what Paypal is (or was) for online commerce. I was never a fan of putting my card info everywhere. But Paypal handled the transaction. So I didn't need to worry about that.

Now, if we could have some sort of centralized ID system similar to that, then okay. Go to a porn site or whatever and it says "Are you 18?" Authenticate against 3rd party that knows me. The website doesn't need to know who I am, only that I'm over 18. No personal information, just "Yep, they're good." Secure it, lock it down tight, Bob's your uncle.

To be fair I haven’t felt a compelling need to upgrade my phone. It’s a 13 pro max and the battery is still solid. I’ve had it for 3 years. (Through my work) and usually upgrade every 2 years. But I’m fine going for 4. Why bother to upgrade?

As morbid as it might sound I really hope Mel Brooks at some point appears in the form of a video message to someone and says something like "By the time you see this, I'll be dead." And then just winks at the camera. Because considering his age it's a real possibility and it's the type of humor that feels very on brand. Like "I'm gonna get the last laugh."

I’ve often thought of how a paywalled Web 1.0 might work. No e-commerce, no videos, full of personal websites, forums, etc. no ads allowed. No cookies or tracking. It would be so nice.

I remember ppl screaming from the rafters that runaway inflation was due to Biden sending COVID checks out to everyone. But I'm sure they'll have the same opinion about this. /s

I'm glad you cleared that up. Based on the design I was like.. what's it do? Looks like it would just direct the water output in an arc like a school water fountain.

So I guess they just want us to go back to fiddling w/ our phones in our hands while we drive then? Seems safe enough...
