They could have saved even more by not putting batteries in them, or motors… Man, these things coulda had a way bigger profit margin!

Equal opportunity on PROSECUTING corruption in Illinois. Every state has corrupt politicians, we just really like holding them accountable here.

Sounds like NBC needs to care a little more about accuracy and a little less about being first.

Probably stored it for 10 years, declared it expired, and then sent it to be destroyed.

Did they stop the search for the missing people then? Sounds like they got all excited that they found a new toy and forgot all about the people they were actually trying to help.

…You realize you are agreeing with me, right? If that cop just felt like it, you would have been fucked, and there was nothing you could have done about it…

That is exactly what happens to minority kids all the time. I’m going to assume you’re not black, cause that exact same situation with a black kid would have ended up with that kid not going to basic.

You don’t want that. Because at any given moment, kids are committing all sorts of minor violations. They trespass, stay out too late, get into scuffles, etc.

But now there’s a cop watching you 24x7, and catches you smoking at 14 in a closed construction site with your friends… you get arrested cause the cop is a jackass. Now you’ve got a record, you missed a couple weeks of school, and college won’t accept you, and your future is fucked.

You did the exact same thing that millions of other teens did, but because a cop happened to feel kinda like fucking you over, your life is ruined.

You DO NOT want cops patrolling your neighborhood, or anywhere you hang out.

That’s why they also spread the myth of fentanyl overdoses by incidental contact. They see an unknown substance, have a panic attack, and assume they’re OD’ing.

Ask any paramedic… you really can’t OD from incidental skin contact with fentanyl.

GoAT goat

Shocked that not one mention of Upton Sinclair in that article. It’s literally half the plot of The Jungle.

Nailed it right here. West was a perfectly good Batman for his time, but Keaton is fantastic and aged well. No one else comes close.

But rand() is a number between 0-1, so it will never be >10

Basically this is just #define True = False

The cat physics are also outstanding. You can tell there were animators just sitting there studying how cats move for many, many hours.

Depends what county arrested her. She definitely needs to be careful about traveling to certain locations.

Crazy thing is… that’s what Trevor Noah did as a youth in South Africa. Had a whole bootleg CD burning business until his setup died and they couldn’t get the files back.

So he turned his life around and became extremely famous in the US.

Yeah, looks like an electronics hoarder. Each of those things at one time had a purpose, but 90% of it is sitting there unused and needs to be discarded/recycled.

So, the biggest tech of 2023 is a bunch of promises of things coming soon?

Doomerism is very in right now, but lots of things are getting better. It’s hard to see through all the social media, but if you curate your feeds to things like science and educational information, you can see all the wonderful things people are learning and making.

Sure, there are a lot of selfish, shitty people out there making a lot of noise, but in the background, there’s the same great people just chugging along making things better.

Just chug along with them and vote for the people that align with your values, and do the best you can.

Like Mr. Rogers used to say, when you see bad things happen, just look for the helpers. The first thing that always happens after a tragedy, is people line up to help. It’s our natural instinct.
