What about people who enjoyed the animated series?

To put it simple: fine china is ceramic, but so are bricks.

If a family member gets banned for cheating while playing your copy of a game, you (the game owner) will also be banned in that game

Hm… so if you don’t trust your kids to not do dumb things in games you also play then don’t share them

But why is a character from Alien: Romulus there? Did he get confused for Ford Prefect? But Ford would not speak against towels. So yeah, still confusing…

It baffles me that these types of jobs exist in the same area as mine. My company doesn’t care what hours I work as long as I get things done, has gone fully remote and never going back, encourages people to not burn themselves out and take time off, we have actual unlimited PTO (i.e. nobody coming after me for using too much), etc. I always thought that’s just the Silicon Valley mentality, but I keep seeing news of big tech companies doing all kinds of crazy backwards things and I don’t get it. All the perks I get are not because my company is run by angels, it’s because they understand we’re actually more productive that way.

Most of the price for real estate in California is the land, not the building. This one is $200/sqft, pretty low compared to other areas.

it’s not like the kid knew either way

That’s why the mother got charged. She was supposed to know better. And leaving an loaded gun where a child can get it does make a difference vs leaving an unloaded gun where a child can get it

The child is 6. Wouldn’t she take the fall no matter what?

Just off the top of my head, some of the bands I’ve seen live before moving to the US: Iron Maiden, Manowar, Megadeth, Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer, Rammstein, Uriah Heep, Volbeat, Mastodon, Alice in Chains.

All the bands I’ve seen live after moving to the US: Laibach, Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Both were a decade ago.

Maybe a bot avoiding detection of duplicate posts?

Binged Resident Alien and now watching the latest Rings of Power season.

He didn’t get arrested for AI generated music. He got arrested for faking multiple accounts to upload music and using bots to generate fake listens, thus stealing millions of dollars. If he did the same thing with music he actually wrote and played, he would still be arrested.

That’s a good question. I’ve wondered that too. I don’t know any cases of single households being fined.

I know the apartment complex I used to live in got fined for not recycling enough.

My area has separate trucks for each type of trash (regular, recycle, compost). And fines people for throwing the wrong things in the wrong bin.

Just yesterday I was reminiscing with my wife about how TP rolls used to have no tube when we were children and how hard it was to find the center to put them on the holder.

“Observe” in the double-slit experiment means placing detectors in each slit. Once you do that, the particles start acting as particles only. Without detectors you get the interference pattern. Doesn’t matter in either of the two setups if an actual human is looking at it or not.

You mean USPS was not the accomplice in the 2001 anthrax attacks?

Adding extra for round change was not only common, but cashiers would ask for it. But that was 20 years ago, when I still used cash. The only cash I ever see now is the one I keep around to put under my kids’ pillows for their teeth.

I assume a mosquito that just had a meal even though it wasn’t hungry and only wanted to give someone malaria.
