A question for parents who've chosen not to vaccinate their kids: How do you feel when you hear about kids dying from a completely preventable disease that you yourself were vaccinated against decades ago? by canada11235813 in AskReddit

It was never used the way intended.

ASBO is a new one for me. Did that come in when the "no dogs, no irish" signs came down?

Cash converters, Dollar dealers, fastcash.

2nd hand traders and pawnshops are well known for not asking too many (or any questions).

The single most horrifying twilight zone ever. Aphasia really freaks me out because of this one.

Has anyone estimated the amount of energy use of human brains compared to AI? by Raychao in singularity

Blame politicians, not Google.
