could you imagine needing to employ a lawyer through several court cases, an appeal, and ultimately state supreme court hearings to keep from being responsible.

The “I would sue”/“you should sue!” crowd isn’t listening!

Ah I see your edit now, thanks (and see how it was assumed implied :) )

iOS lets you create “secret chats”

How? Not natively unless I’m mistaken

See parallels w/AIDS fears & Princess Di shaking hands? But contrasts of course

Seen the third party message on the Wirecutter comments section?

“If you comment on these socks we’re recommending YOUR DATA WILL BE SOLD!!!”

Incredible and actually good guy vendor (Disqus) in a way for not hiding it unless it was their lawyers’ doing :)

“Hi I wasn’t paid six dollars on Fiverr to post here” (does increase costs obviously but marginally for high-margin/volume products)

non-obvious ways

Reminded…

This patient’s prescription was for an electron beam, so she positioned the turntable and left the room. In the room next door, shielded from the radiation, was the control terminal. The technician started keying in the prescription to begin the treatment.

If things were exactly following the routine, she’d be able to communicate with the patient via an intercom, and monitor the patient via a video camera. Sadly, that system had broken down today. Still, this patient had already had a number of treatments, so they knew what to expect, so that communication was hardly necessary. In fact, the Therac-25 and all the supporting equipment were always finicky, so “something doesn’t work” practically was part of the routine.

Yes good read! (sad aspects too)

And a kinda spoiler from the next paragraph…

The technician had run this process so many times she started keying in the prescription. She’d become an extremely fast typist, at least on this device, and perhaps too fast.

Thank you. Been thinking about this.

Is there a [soap] product that you use or would use with a dishwasher, or at least a guideline or purchasing process you’d follow?

Didn’t watch but hope to!

Fantastic.

Season two episode eight is how to do the dishes! Edit: it was their series finale :)

Very very tempting

I was right about dishwasher pods, and now I can prove it — Technology Connections (Nov 4, 2025), ~2.6M views

Now I wanna become the hand dishwashing expert!

• Scrub every inch and cranny real good with soapy water

• Even try to leave the soap on for 30 seconds if I can wash other stuff in the meantime

• Rinse very thoroughly so nary a hint of a sud remains

Prioritize dishwasher for everything that won’t be damaged

Unfortunately destroyed by flood in 2019 with most of my things. Inquired at the retirees club zoom last week, but there’s almost no one the right age left. Not sure where else to ask.

This one just goes down as true 🫡

edit: goes down as true in a way that I won’t be able to accept in post-2022 years 😢

Ahahahahaha one of the best I’ve seen thanks

Interesting, wonder if my watch history having some e.g. Penn & Teller: BS! is why they’ve never dared push me slop… OK, brainrot slop at least, maybe something’s slipped through.

(Haven’t touched the “don’t recommend” stuff that I can recall over these years… er, decades perhaps, whew)

Obvy could be any one of a million reasons. Could’ve been A/B Test Group B while you were Group A!

Oooohhhh yeahhhhhh we going lower or feeling good for now? Well can worry about any of that later maybe after some responsible celebrating :) hehe

Scorpion using Moruga?

Isn’t it an AI adaptation of the classic?
