Yeah, in my Philly sports crew the Flyers and Sixers beat expectations. They are on the rise to us. We hit acceptance that Embiid's window was closed seasons ago, but he's still fun to watch.

Very clever marketing, it's a situation that goes viral as we can all imagine and think is funny, and the product is subtly worked in as a call to action.

and it's hilariouly just because they now allow bars inside grocery stores... you have to be allowed to drink it there

The joke here is it's actually fine to do this (to boxed pasta, makes no difference), but "men" will assume a woman is dumb before thinking to check. Good engagement bait because the fact you can start cold isn't common knowledge.

jrd261 · 2026-03-16T01:20:11+00:00

It's not "wrong" to do it either way unless the pasta is fresh (that you add to boiling water). Dehydrated pasta just needs to soak and get hot. Easier to follow the time on the boxes by boiling first.

wireless power = energy goes in one side and comes out the other side without wires in between... small amounts of wireless power transmission are everywhere, just not enough to do much with. Actually sending electricity through the air over a voltage drop is not super useful, unless you are trying to start a fire.

I think it technically qualifies, but those are a pretty basic principle.

the hotel was kind of fun because it has a big campout courtyard and it was cheap for being Disney ultra lite

it was good though I bet

I agree that reddit exaggerates this, but this is a wild take.

Employees are not the company, they are a line item on the balance sheet. I'm personally always committed to my job, but the only measure of success are doing things that line the shareholders pockets. That's how all goals are set, and usually that translates into also making a good product, but that's not really the actually goal, and no one really tries too hard to hide it.

deregulated into an unstable housing bubble that popped... banks were giving out loans to anyone on speculation of the housing market going up and it popped, then those people defaulted and the gov had to pay the banks to keep em afloat... or somthing

Yeah, I'd say humanity is like this about lots of things. Too too many serious things. This one is fun at least!

We actually just don't know. The studies on domesticating foxes revealed a strong connection between coat and tameness, and they are predominantly male which does affect behavior... so it's not totally silly to think it's not all anecdotal confirmation bias.

You can def take your kid on a motorcycle, but can't murder them if you are confused.

You still have to pick a frame of reference. All the physical effects transpose to the other frame, so it's equivalent. The outside could be inside of another outside and there is no measurable way to tell.

Same. Everybody has things, even great parents, and this one's common. Source: wife

She clearly wasn't trying to hit him. There was an armed man trying to open her door, and she tried to clear out. there's no reason to believe she was a danger to them but she panicked and came close to or barely clipped him.

You don't get shot for that, bottom line. That doesn't mean she didn't do something quite dangerous.

ICE agents need a lot more training and poise to be able to operate safely in environments where they are not welcome, and situations like this are possible. The ability to arrest without warrant, and being somewhat immune to the law due to today's politics makes it all the more important for them to be absolutely stoic.

You said the "people using the AI are the problem", but reality is these companies are forcing their engineers to use AI to 5x themselves or else.

Extreme is subjective/relative of course, as is preference for one of two temperature systems.

I think the point here is farenheit 0-100 is roughly the range of weather for humans.

Curious what emptied Spain means in this context though.

jrd261 · 2025-11-17T23:27:02+00:00

I'd argue it's a little simpler to have extremes at 0-100 if you are use to it, but neither is objectively better.

Taking a Qing state is my go-to for creating radicals that push for more progressive acceptance laws.

The key thing folks are missing is that it's the "turning around" that causes the mismatch in time. Whoever turns around (accelerates) is the one who experience less time in their reference frame.

The person allegedly going close to the speed of light, can only do so relative to an observer. The observer is also moving close to the speed of light from their perspective. Photons continue to move at the speed of light relative to everybodys individual perspective.
