It’s pretty wonky, but HWRF is a great resource too, but not updated quite as often as some others.

Chickens and many other birds appear to bob their heads because their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they can’t fix their eyes on a point while moving, but instead have to keep their head still. What looks like bobbing is the bird pushing its head forward and keeping it completely still for a moment while its body catches up. Without keeping its head still, it wouldn’t be able to see much of anything very effectively, prey or predator.

T rex might have been able to move its eyes, in which case it probably wouldn’t have bobbed its head.

I’m blown away by how many people use apps when they don’t have to. There’s a reason companies are always trying to get you to download their app, and it’s so they can put their software on your phone and harvest more of your data.

So for you, the lowest price is the only thing that matters? It doesn’t matter whether it’s a shitty product? Or that they’re one of the least efficient shippers due to their tariff avoidance strategy, and in doing so are contributing more per purchase to climate change than even companies like Amazon and Walmart?

As part of a job application, it’s called a résumé (reh-zuh-may).

To continue playing something, it’s resume (ruh-zoom).

“The federal government did a good thing! Here’s why you should treat it like a bad thing.”

The story here isn’t that AI is denying care to seniors, it’s that AI put those clinical staff at insurance companies who have been denying care to seniors for years out of a job

I can’t help but notice you linked a story from over three years ago. I’m not arguing with any of the problems identified by the researchers in that article, but weakness in the commercial real estate market has been happening for over four years. What happened in 2008 took everyone by surprise. What’s happening now is on everyone’s radar and mitigation efforts have been happening for years.

The article in the post even talks about the financial institutions identified as over exposed in your article getting rid of these assets to reduce their exposure.

It’s really not though, at a very basic level.

All this extended conversation about all the downvotes and not a single person responded to the reason I gave for downvoting right up there. Merrick Garland’s DOJ absolutely does not care about politics, and the implication that this guilty plea has to do with the Biden Admin wanting to influence the election in November is fictional.

Yes, that’s what I said

Merrick Garland and his DOJ are absolutely not taking marching orders from the Whitehouse. Garland also doesn’t give two shits about politics. Dude’s rigidly ethical

“Cleared” is an interesting way to describe “pleaded guilty and sentenced to 62 months in prison.” Dude just already served 5 years.

Police said 34 new Tesla Cybertrucks were damaged.

By Friday afternoon, the graffiti had been wiped off.

Social media influencers and passersby stopped to snap photos.

Fort Lauderdale police are now investigating the case.

What a rollercoaster

Don’t attribute to anger that which can be attributed to your comment being forced and unfunny

The Texas House has been incredibly resistant to this due to a coalition of Democrats and Republicans from more remote areas where whole towns still show up for high school football games. Quite a few of the primaries out there were won by even more right-wing candidates this year, so the margin may be tighter this next legislative session.

They tried and failed to primary Dade Phelan. It’ll be interesting to see whether he maintains the speakership. I think he will. I respect the man as far as he’s been willing to publicly fight against some of the worst ideas coming from Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick. Without Dade Phelan, Texas might be as bad off as Florida right now. I know this may be hard to understand to some people outside Texas who perceive a Republican free-for-all happening here, but a ton of the worst Republican legislation has died in the Texas House the past several sessions, and it’s really pissed off Abbott and Patrick.

Unfortunately, every member of the Texas Medical Board has been appointed by Greg Abbott at this point, and he’s not appointing anyone who doesn’t share his extremist ideology. What we’re seeing here is just damage control in the form of public relations

There is nothing that prevents a prosecutor in an individual county or an individual who wants to file a lawsuit to do so,” Zaafran said. “But my hope would be, and my strong recommendation would be, that any entities out there would defer to the actions of the medical board and its judgment when a complaint has come in as to whether something was appropriate or not.”

At least we have hope.

Didn’t Square Enix just announce they’re not doing PS exclusives anymore and will be releasing all their games on Xbox too? Seems like the movement is coming from both directions. Next generation consoles are still years away, regardless

Dude, electrical substations were in shambles and high voltage towers were knocked to the ground in the storm that hit Houston a couple weeks ago. This isn’t a tree trimming issue, there were 100mph sustained straight-line winds
