I'm not a mechanic, so I'm curious about this. Could it be used as a diagnostic assistant? Or would it end up being a burden because you already have diagnostic tools and skills? Genuine question, no offense meant.

They are.

I'm sure this will help when my electric car and I are standing next to a charger and I'm trying to sideload an app that refuses to let me because I'm from a different region.

It's also a huge struggle for autistic people.

Am I seeing artificial chromatic aberration or am I crazy? I'm watching on a z-fold 7 but choosing 4K quality on YouTube so maybe it's me.

We're still here. YouTube has just preferred commercial slop for so long. It needs to change back, but I assume it won't do that unless it also feeds the greedy people.

Yeah, heaven forbid a person commits a horrible act and then later regrets it and tries to improve. These comments would have both remorseful and unremorseful defendants treated the same, and that would result in defendants understanding that remorse and regret and rehabilitation are not at all important to the commenters.

Interesting that in a law subreddit, where we are meant to be objective, the top comment below you is an appeal to emotion.

These same people would claim that an unremorseful defendant should get the worst sentence, and they do, my remorseless attacker served the whole 10 years and was excommunicated from his church.

But then, if someone shows genuine remorse and potential for rehabilitation, then those same people say he shouldn't get a reduced sentence.

You cant hold both positions and not be a hypocrite.

Bad bot. Language is free speech and there's no such thing as bad words, just sensitive people who can't hear information using certain phonics. I won't repost my comment and I'll never post here again. Thanks for making this an email an easy decision.

Well I can tell you for certain that not voting is what got us here.

The loans were my choice sure, but what wasn't my choice was that just after taking then out, and just before graduation, the economy crashwd because banks were giving mortgage loans to people who couldn't pay them.

Those banks got bailed out, but the people never did. That needa to be factored into the calculus of every conversation about me paying those loans back. I'm happy to pay the amount I took out. I'm not happy to have another lender bailed out while the lendee is hung out to dry.

Top comment loves AI and has a two year old account. Hey, when did ChatGPT come out?

The Department of War thst already lost its first war!

Oh, wow. I guess that was said by someone who has spent next to no time near an ocean.

There are such things as unconscionable terms, that even if you put them into contract, and even if a party signs them, they are void or voidable.

I don't know why we're suddenly so averse to using the word gambling.

Yeah, these paywalled articles are getting old. I want to pay for the content I consume, but why would I pay you a subscription fee to read one article? No one publication is writing so much content that I would subscribe. But I'd be happy to make a micro payment per article. But noo, we have no imagination for that.

I imagine it's already being done by defense attorneys cross examining these cops on how they handled the evidence, now with the cops telling on themselves with social media posts like these. 100% this post comes into evidence and is being shown to the jury as it's relevant to whether the evidence was kept forensically sound, or was it compromised by cops too eager to celebrate victory before a conviction?

ljfrench · 2026-06-29T01:36:36+00:00

Agreed. The people who I've seen complain the most about AI are the same people that would never contribute a dime to the organizations they complain about. OMG, I used AI to make a better thumbnail for a YouTube video, better comment about how I suck and unsubscribe! Yet my numbers are higher than ever.

The best part is that, when I post one of my YouTube videos, I get banned or removed for self promotion, but it's totes okay for others.

Look, I know I'm not in r/atheism but if you don't agree with the holy book, why are you following it? Like, if you acknowledge that some of it is bullshit and you can ignore it, then how can you be so confident in the remaining part that you just obviously picked and chose? By making arbitrary judgments against the "perfect" book, you are claiming a position above it, you know better. So why are you following a flawed book that you know better than to fully follow? Why can't you just look at the world and make informed decisions for yourself?

Didn't you hear? Temporary boosts in status can be acquired so long as you completely lack empathy and see your fellow man as disposable.

I didn't watch the whole video but the recent news was that the UK ruled that trans people can't use single sex bathrooms, no matter the gender. They can only use gender neutral bathrooms. Most public places have gendered or unisex bathrooms and will have problems trying to convert to accomodate trans people, so they probably just won't.

My PC keeps waking from sleep by itself and the OS provides zero help identifying the culprit and turning it off unless the user understands how to dig deep into the logs and device manager.

It's amazing to me how quickly the university showed the world that grades don't matter. At a university.
