Something tells me it was longer than 0.74 seconds. And typically the person that suffers the consequences of the lead car not paying attention is the cars further back sitting through another light cycle because you can’t put down candy crush while driving

Our company pays for TeamViewer, and I still get nagged all the time, so there’s no point in giving them money, they still nag you all the time.

Wait until you get to the inner working of a pinball machine or jukebox!

Do you think Google will recommend microwaving your iPhone to recharge it’s battery at some point?

That’s interesting, because YouTube recently hit me a channel named “Scary Interesting” where he just tells stories about diving and caving accidents. I’m not sure where or how it got that, but after the first one I saw, I binged a bunch of it

I just checked and he does have 1m subs, so it’s not small, but it’s not corporate.

Another seemingly random recommendation was Gabi Belle. She does video essays too and they hooked me in with her talking about how ridiculous Kitchen Nightmares as a show is. Gabi has a great humor.

If I had to classify my YouTube recommendations, is in the first two rows I’m guaranteed to have like 25-35% of them be at least someone I’m subscribed to. The next 70% are related to videos I’ve watched recently. Sometimes it feels like one video in there occasionally is a “moon shot”. That’s where scary interesting or Gabi Belle squeezed in. Sometimes it’s a generic trending video, sometimes it’s a creator I haven’t watched in a long time just posting something new.

72% chance from here. Probably high enough that swing state voters opted to stay home. This was the vibe practically all October. The FBI felt confident enough in her win to announce they were investigating her to appear unbiased.

Polling being inaccurate for whatever reason doesn’t change the article after article assuring everyone Hillary had it in the bag.

Just remember polls gave Hillary almost a guaranteed win. For all intents and purposes, Trump is the front runner regardless of what any polling says

Gas discounts are pretty small.

At least for Kroger, you get $0.03 baseline with no discount. After you spend $100, you get one fill up with $0.10 discount up to 35 gallons. My vehicle in particular has 11 gallons. So my maximum discount is $1.10, up from base line $0.33 discount. $1.10 discount per $100 spent is barely worth it.

Even if you used all 35 gallons, that’s $3.50 discount per $100 spent.

So if you have a massive vehicle that takes 35 gallons, you can save $35 off the fill up after you spend $1000 in the store. Could you have saved that $35 by shopping at a different grocery store?

Man, just know my dental plan would take a study like this to move to once a year cleanings :(

I like getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist

What if eat meat and just don’t have kids? Sounds like I get to be selfish and think about the environment at the same time

Public Service Broadcasting - Race To Space.

Go! (From the album)

The whole album is just them playing music to sound bytes from the space race era.

For Android, in the notification shade, you can hit the power button and there should be an option called “Lockdown” which prevents biometrics from unlocking your phone, just like when it first boots.

There’s also app pinning (has to be enabled in settings) where you can lock an app in the task manager and clicking the bubble at the top and select “Pin”. You can’t swap apps or go back to the home screen without password/biometrics.

I wore shorts and flip flops to a grocery store in the dead of winter. Guy asked if I was cold, and I was like “I went from one climate controlled box into a drivable climate controlled box, and now I’m in this climate controlled box”

Yeah, things could go wrong like a car wreck or something where I get stuck outside for an extended period of time and would become uncomfortable. But it is what it is.

Well overall, using these techniques has probably resolved a ton of investigations where the leads ran out and it being an overall positive. I think it would still be better that DNA from these sources cannot be used in trial. So a DNA match can give you a new angle to find other elements, but the fact DNA was used to find a trail shouldn’t be admissable.

I guess the saying “better 100 guilty people go free rather than an innocent man should suffer” applies though.

My bias though is probably skewed through the media I consume. I do watch a lot of channels like Lackluster YouTube videos (shows corruption and double standards in policing). I do try to balance it out with channels like Code Blue Cam which does highlight good policing too, but I would say I have an inherent distrust with policing nowadays.

Well prosecutors and cops are incentivized to get arrests. Whether to pump numbers up for promotions or to use in campaigning. So it wouldn’t surprise me if cops turn a cold case into a witch hunt because some partial DNA match in a “private” database gave them a few suspects and then they start to build some case to fit the suspects.

I hope some good lawyers find some facilities serving Viagra via Medicaid and get that shutdown. I know the law doesn’t say “gender-affirming care”, but here’s hoping.

The problem right now (I think) is the “Hide NSFW Posts” is a lemmy setting, and the blurs are Sync settings.

So the hide NSFW post prevents the API from returning any post marked NSFW

Fen Research? What an odd company name for a game studio. I would expect a company name like that would be harvesting user data for something.

I always squint at meat products that claim something like “made with 100% real chicken.” Yeah okay, there is chicken in there, but how much of the food consists of that 100% real chicken?
