That's the first interview test! (Take a look at the URL, it's pretty obvious why it's broken)

Between this today and one square minesweeper yesterday, we're batting 1.000 on funny dumb projects that make me laugh. I don't know why you made this either, but I'm glad you did, thanks!

Granted there are some people on earth who can speak those 3 languages fluently, but it greatly diminishes the pool of available people. If you wanted to take the example to the absurd, you could just start listing more languages, and ChatGPT would happily spit out the answer translated to 100 languages in a few seconds. No person could do that.

Also, I believe doctor of credit is not funded by affiliate links like most sites that list this stuff are (including the GP link, I believe)

The integration is really cool, and it seems like this would be a powerful tool, but I think I'd be fighting against the main thing you want to do (I don't want to reschedule stuff after my Sunday planning session, with only very few exceptions).

Thanks for the suggestion though, and good luck!

I don't know anything about Kotaku, but I read that same article and thought it was pretty clearly a tongue-in-cheek faux investigative article and laughed at it.

Asus Zenphone 10 is a bit bigger than the 13 mini, but is reasonably small and otherwise well regarded

I don't see the QA posting. Am I just missing it or is it elsewhere?

Very cool! I listen to WMSE (Wisconsin - Milwaukee School of Engineering - https://www.wmse.org/) and WSUW (UWisconsin Whitewater - https://917theedge.weebly.com/) pretty regularly. It'd be great to see those added, and enjoying finding some new ones with this!

This seems like a classic example of taking one small part of a larger trend that agrees with the viewpoint you came in with, and massively overinflating its impact.

Trucks have been getting bigger since long before 2008, including light trucks. The Ranger's platform was ancient by the time it was retired -- it was going to go regardless. It does seem that the author has correctly picked out one of the many factors pushing things in that direction, but also during the time frame in question (2008-2020) overall American vehicle fuel economy increased (see the EIA's total energy consumption report). I realize that wasn't the direct point the author was making, but it seems like an important note.

The author's weird insistence on the "own the libs" snark really takes away from the impact of what this could have been -- a reminder of the importance to consider unintended consequences when rulemaking.
