I mean a month shutdown isn't much of a punishment. They'll go back online, run their staff over capacity, and neglect cleaning and maintenance all over again.

If we're going to follow that reductio ad absurdum, I live in a city why not just take the bus? But walking is only a few miles, why not just walk? Don't buy a house because it's an inefficient waste of space, resources, and energy. Live in a studio apartment under 300sq ft, enough for a bed and a desk. Buying food seems unnecessary when I can have planters and some chickens out back.

I like the Mustang, electricity where I live is already generated above 90% by renewables, despite transit my quality of life is improved with a vehicle. The environment is a nice side effect.

I would really like to buy a Mustang EV, but I don't want to pay the $20,000 above sticker the dealership is trying to charge at 7.99% interest. Not a mystery why these things aren't moving.

Not for me, no change before or after the CPAP machine, but I had an over 100 AHI during 2 separate sleep lab assessments.

Teams is probably the worst communications app I've ever been forced to use. Extremely slow, random crashes, almost impossible to organize chats in a useful way, and outages as the cherry on top. I would have thought that Microsoft would put more TLC into a core part of their enterprise offering.

Sounds about right, the RCMP has a long history of First Nations neglect. This seems like it would be a straightforward case to prove his innocence. Also a good reminder of why it's important to never speak with police without a lawyer.

So much of this bot store ships from Amazon... It's mind boggling to imagine how much waste this physical spam introduces, from manufacturing, to shipping to the Amazon warehouse, to warehousing. All for low-quality dupes that aren't even represented by a real business.

I would assume this is more intended for locals or frequent visitors. Paris is nice, but after a few months it becomes like any other city.

I have friends who work indirectly in rail systems procurement in Canada. If they don't know about this already, they will soon from me.

Agreed, I use their services, but I absolutely do not depend on them. They can't be trusted.

Siri is so incompetent it's basically unusable. I would love if they were forced to allow 3rd party assistants.

That's a bit of a false dichotomy - just because they follow Sam Altman doesn't mean they can be incompetent. OpenAI was successful because of the rare mix of leadership with a vision and competent workers to back it up. Sam leaves, the vision dies. Workers leave, the product dies.

Ah yes, the true day-to-day life we all experience launching multi-million dollar satellites by a multi-billion dollar company, endangering the safe launch and operation of other satellites not just domestic but globally.

If they couldn't be bothered to put enough fuel in the cannister to deorbit, they get fined. I don't see why that requires a full trial.

Google hasn't had a track record of actually supporting their products beyond 2-3 years, software or hardware. I'll believe it when I see it.

If you took 10 seconds to read, it's not at all C-18 related. It's entirely related to India being able to strong-arm Facebook to comply.
