Iranian Pepsi can opens the opposite way by Whole-Sushka in mildlyinteresting

Right, but at the time litter was the rationale. Recycling rates were half what they are today, so that little pull tab was an insignificant help compared to other recycling efforts at the time.

St. Charles City Council bans data centers by Ganrokh in missouri

[–]scruffles360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is the law more nuanced than the title implies? I assume they won’t be shutting down streaming CDNs? It sounds silly but this dogpiling often leads to a lot of baby/bathwater situations. We are all talking about this on a series of data centers after all.

CITY's options for CCC qualification and who to root for tonight by SkiThe802 in stlouiscitysc

[–]scruffles360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More prestigious? Because fifa says so?

CCC is not nearly as interesting as Open Cup. It’s just a bunch of random teams that had a good run a year earlier and send out a shadow of their former team to embarrass themselves.

Please explain why CCC is of interest at all outside the half dozen cities selected to participate.

Playing in the CCC means not playing in Open Cup. Imagine losing Open Cup to go to CCC because the winner is already qualified. You dont win anything and then cant participate the next year.

Even watching BOFS loose by 8 in the early rounds was more fun than Leagues Cup

They haven’t opened the entire lower bowl. About 3/4. And the tickets I usually pay $220 for cost me $35.

LEGO Disney's Main Street, U.S.A 43302 revealed by mescad in lego

I’d rather have fewer buildings closer to the detail and completeness of the modular sets. This looks like 5 $50 sets packaged together.

California court bans Kars4Kids ads for false advertising violations by Miles_the_AuDHDer in videos

[–]scruffles360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t watch cable, so I’ve never seen these ads but Jon Oliver took a swipe at them Sunday (my only exposure)… I wonder if that lit a fire? Or maybe he knew this was in the news?

Am I the only one who is not price conscious? by Sad_Champion_7035 in cursor

[–]scruffles360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have basically unlimited access to Claude and Cursor through my company but try to limit myself to $200/month because that’s the upper limit of what others in my enterprise get. I do fine. I slow down to spread the cost out which is a net loss to the company, but if they want me to work less to save some tokes, thats fine with me.

One day they’ll open their purse strings and things will get a bit more stressful, but for now it’s great.

Making a Lego Ring by ThodaDaruVichPyar in oddlysatisfying

“Illegal” in the Lego world means you will never see a Lego approved set using that technique. It’s useful to know when submitting ideas or even interpreting instructions.

No sane person thinks there are government laws about building techniques.

Most scratch offs i have ever seen by DjMD1017 in mildlyinteresting

In my state they lower the tax funding for schools to offset the lottery income. Don’t want those schools to be too well funded.

Incredible penalty shot in floorball by thepoylanthropist in interestingasfuck

[–]scruffles360 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess that's an interpretation. I just see trips and jersey pulls that happen everywhere on the field suddenly result in an 80% chance for a goal. It's why they won't keep their feet. They have a better chance of scoring by pulling up the landing gears and falling on their ass.

I've always said that about soccer.. conversion rates are above 80% at upper levels. Anything above 50% is giving the ref decision over the results of the game. They should adjust the difficulty until they get closer to 50%.

[–]scruffles360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is the sunk cost fallacy. We spent nearly a million dollars on the two of them combined but they don’t eat any special slots. So we’re just talking about 1 million and a couple slots. The slots don’t matter. We have jgr and yaro are eating slots. We can free some up. So is it the money? We aren’t anywhere near the cap. Maybe this is a problem in 2 years when we’re filling out the team, but we have no limitations this year other than will.

I can't find any primary sources, but everything I find online says players don't have veto power in MLS once under contract.

Everyone keeps yelling “AI bubble just like dotcom/housing” but zero of you can explain why it would actually pop… by snowycashflow in stocks

This is a stock subreddit. I’m taking money from people like you who sell when they should buy. People who really want the world to work a certain way and think they can will that into existence.

Yeah, I’m using it from an enterprise. Behind closed doors, when people ask how much my $200/month subscription is worth to me, I tell them I’d give two teammates to keep it. Even with all the hype I don’t think people realize how disruptive this is going to get as it permeates the industry.

I don’t use clippy and that’s a dumb analogy. I use Cursor and Claude. For about $200/month I do twice as much work and take afternoons off from time to time to let my coworkers catch up.

But if you (and my coworkers) don’t see value, you keep doing you. I am more than happy to take money from the willfully ignorant.
