Just give them a dummy button and play the clip of the death star blowing up or something. They aren’t going to check to make sure it happened. Keep it sending the data just turn off the server side recording it then turn it back on when they inevitably forget about it in a couple weeks.

Parker-Hannifin makes industrial products, these will do you the trick

I don’t think I’ve ever run into anyone else who has seen or remembers surf ninjas. What a great fever dream of a movie.

If you like them The Agonist is a good band in the same vein. Alissa White-Glutz fronted them until she left for arch enemy and was replaced by Vicky Psarakis

Just spin it as a car regulation instead of a gun regulation.

Him saying he knows more about manufacturing than anyone alive today is less descriptive than me saying I know more about the internet than anyonet. I work in manufacturing and the space is massive. What field if manufacturering? Because in the tesla alone there are dozens of separate fields of industrial manufacturing and he isn’t even the preeminent expert in automotive manufacturing let alone any of the components in the car.

Replacing some small to mid size appliances. Mine are generally 7-10 years old and some of the cooking ones are becoming unsafe to use due to wear. New air fryer to replace the one that smokes when it runs and the toaster oven that has two burnt out coils. Potentially a new dryer of the motor replacement is cost prohibitive.

If I can’t fix it and expect 3+more years of use it needs to be replaced in the next 6 months.

Biden’s dealing with the ramifications of his hubris. He thought he would win another term, then thought Harris would win, and could continue softballing this war and now that he knows he’s out of time. If he doesn’t do absolutely everything he can to open up resources for Ukraine now then Putin wins. Putin will most likely win anyway now but this at least will be something.

They actively donate to anti lgbtq causes. They are explicitly the one I avoid because of this.

Make the mandatory minimum fine 105% of the estimated revenue.

I loved my LG v10 and galaxy s5. Those phones just worked and worked great for a long time.

I don’t want a dumb phone. I want a circa 2014 smart phone that is not expected to replace my laptop and serve as a constant data stream for corporations. I want to be able to visit a website on my phone and not have it try to get me to download an app, be ads on 70% of the screen, or just be unreadable formatting. Let me call, text, do a basic online search, play a stupid flash game, and take my money. Stop being greedy and trying to make everything I do monetizable

Short answer is yes. Long answer is yes because of cash bail and how expensive it is to mount a defense

Dude a news article from over 4 months ago without noting the time period is bad form.

The love language test in part because it was a great way to start a conversation about our romantic needs with my spouse.

The state needs to ask for federal involvement in these situations. And I’m not just saying that it’s on Ohio to ask, legally how the system is set up is the state needs to ask in order for any release of aid. DeWine ® did not ask. The white house and federal agencies did everything they legally could to assist and be ready for the ask, DeWine just didn’t.

To be fair that is probably on a coffee mug

Can someone explain to me why we cannot wrap these deep fakes into existing identity theft law? Or at least impersonating a public official /government employee when it comes to politicians.

The number of countries that pegged their currency to the USD is staggering. If the US defaults for any reason the global economy ceases to exist. Crashed by Adam Tooze is a great deep dive into the 2008 financial crises and goes in depth on how interconnected all the major economies are.

Answer their question with questions. If they ask about your weekend all about their’s then followup on a detail. They will talk for a couple minutes then end with some version of “hey great chat but I need to get a couple things done”. If you want to remain approachable you need to give people the chance to talk but also don’t really need to share much of yourself. Keep tabs on the easy things(kids, spouse, etc) and you have a lot of variations of very basic questions for a short conversation. How’s kid liking school? Did you and spouse have a nice weekend? Then one or two follow up questions to them and you can end the conversation without the other person feeling like you blew them off.
