Are you sure the lawsuit isn’t part of Frost’s next campaign?

You kept at this way longer and put far more energy into it than it was probably worth. Imagine if instead of bitching about bag bans to anyone online we just, like, looked up from our phone and paid a tiny bit of attention to bringing a bag to the store. Then we wouldn’t have to spend all this time justifying our lack of care.

I appreciate the examples you gave and I hope someone benefits from them. The simple fact is that the person you’ve been going back and forth with will not.

Is this the prequel to Cocaine Bear?

“Take my [family], please”

…a semi-autonomous vehicle surveying a dead landscape?

Good question. I was just reading the article about it on The Verge, which mentions:

On the back, you’ll find a 50MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide camera, while the front has a 32MP hole-punch camera for selfies and video calls. That’s a significant step down from the Fairphone 5, which used 50MP sensors on all three of its cameras.

No mention of camera quality, though, as it’s basically a press release post and not a hands-on or review. I wish this would be available in the US for a fair price.

Each game needs to have a custom profile created to render in 3D. From the linked article:

3dSen is an emulator that lets you play 2D NES games in 3D. Its programmers have to create a custom profile for it to work its magic on each game, which means there are currently 100 supported games, including Contra, Super Mario Bros, Batman, Castlevania, Bubble Bobble, and Gradius.

And from another article:

…with the addition of the 3dSenMaker tool, community members now can handcraft 3D profiles for their favorite games.

…so everything is going according to “their” plan.

They were charging a flat rate ($240/year) for households to buy a sticker to dispose of as much waste as they wanted. The town was losing money and was concerned about doubling the annual price, as it would disproportionately affect low-income and smaller households, so they started charging $65/year plus per-bag of trash. This lead to a decrease in the amount of trash being discarded so that their municipal refuse program is now breaking even instead of losing something like $65k/year, and it costs smaller households significantly less than if they had doubled the all-you-can-discard sticker.

That’s my summary, but the full article is a quick read and contains some interesting details.

You must never have used Teams

Tl;dr: buckle up, buttercup

Yes, but only in Europe, and no Americans are allowed. 😕

I suppose that is about where the bar is for these guys

So you’re saying there’s a chance…

It’s probably more efficient to ship them pre-burnt.

In the US? Where we pour bleach on food that has been discarded to make sure that someone who is hungry can’t eat it?

But yes, this is a great suggestion. Also, looking for a local farm or farms that could feed these to their animals (specifically chickens or pigs).

And so, WALL-ST-E, was born

Just think of all that value created for shareholders!

Interesting read. It captures a lot of how I feel and what I miss about the “old internet.”
