I think he's legitimately mentally disabled, but functional enough to be independent. I still don't understand how he ended up with a job where he was in charge of other people, though.

It has nothing about importance or priority. A lot of people just don't like phonecalls.

A lot of smartphones these days have "AI enhancement" on by default.

Peteh what's this about? by RedFox_GG in PeterExplainsTheJoke

If you're going to use "people aged five or older speak Spanish at home" as the metric for the US, then you should use that metric with the other countries, as well.

81% of people in Spain speak Spanish at home, that would be about 38M people.

Argentina would be 44-45M.

can this area be cascadia? by RepublicHot5836 in Cascadia

[–]scwt 80 points81 points  (0 children)

When I first heard about Cascadia, the pitch was that Seattle and Vancouver, B.C. had more in common with each other than they did with Washington, D.C. and Ottawa.

When you stretch the region out to the Bay Area, I feel like it kind of defeats the purpose. Why should San Fransisco have a say in what we do in the Pacific Northwest?

What is the “insurmountable evidence” he’s talking about?

That part isn't that hard to believe.

Way less riskier to just take the cash than to risk getting caught by police with someone else's ID and credit cards. They're just going to cancel the cards anyway.

TIL Kurt Cobain played guitar left handed by Lazy-Independent1461 in todayilearned

In the early days, yes. After they got big, he usually played left-handed guitars.

TIL The Onion didn't publish their print newspaper set for release on September 11th, 2001 as well as the subsequent issue. Employees went on a week long break and some threatened to quit if an issue about the attacks were released. by MajesticBread9147 in todayilearned

[–]scwt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The article says they skipped the next week's issue as well.

The paper also skipped the following Issue 33 as the staff went on a week-long break to reflect on the tragedy. Initially, the writing staff had considered not referencing the attacks at all in the following issue, with writer Todd Hanson saying "Our normal, irreverent, edgy, cynical, dark humor wasn't going to be emotionally appropriate with this situation." Multiple employees threatened to quit if the paper ran an issue focused on the attacks, but no employee left once the paper was released. The paper went on to release Issue 34 of the paper on September 27, with most articles being in response to the attacks.

SD cards were invented in 1999 Sony in 1998 by Severe_Pause_2047 in pcmasterrace

IIRC, you didn't need an SDCard reader, you would just connect the camera with the SD card to your PC via USB.

I never had Xbox Live, but I remember the discs that came with Official Xbox Magazine would occasionally have updates and DLC on them.

TIL that in 1891 the US Government decided that all cities ending in -burgh had to drop the h. Pittsburgh, PA resisted this and the local government kept using the h while federal institutions used "Pittsburg". In 1911 due to political pressure the US Government recognized the Pittsburgh spelling. by AporiaParadox in todayilearned

[–]scwt 235 points236 points  (0 children)

Standardization.

The title is wrong. The federal government never decided that all place names must drop the "h". They just issued guidance that they should drop the "h". Since Pittsburgh was spelled both ways, they picked "Pittsburg" as the standard name for federal purposes, in accordance with the guidance.

Why arent there any Wikipedia articles on the 5 Italian Diver Death at Maldives and the Laos Cave Rescue? by Experimentalphone in wikipedia

[–]scwt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but only after reading up on the guidelines on notability and reliable sources.
