I hadn’t considered the long-term ramifications of the slop infestation. It has been more an annoyance of the present. But he’s right, this will poison the well for a long time, long after it collapses under its own hubris.

Great point. Eating is such a large part of culture. It’s why there are countless cooking/food/travel shows out there (Bourdain being the GOAT). Anyone not participating in this collective ritual is separating themselves from a large part of society.

I’ve met people who claim they don’t enjoy eating and only do it because they have to. Often, they’re the same people who use that Soylent stuff. I can’t comprehend that mindset. I spend most of my day looking forward to my next meal.

Based on context clues, you’re British… isn’t the food bland enough already? I kid, I had great food over there. But, you know, take the shot when you see it.

A spinal tap was quite unpleasant. I could feel the needle grinding around in my spinal cord. 0/10

Couldn’t have said it better. I’m concerned about the next few years, but if we can get through it with a functioning society then I think this is what will happen.

One of my impostors signed up for adult friend finder and tinder using my address. Try explaining that to the wife. I also get important mortgage documents, consulting invoices, family gathering plans, you name it. The ones in Austin TX and London are especially egregious.

Sadly, there aren't enough people here to make that worthwhile.

And I likes it thataway!

This might be too exciting for this community, so trigger warning.

Last weekend I backed out of my garage haphazardly, and hit the side mirror on the garage frame. It bent the whole mirror forward and, even with my full body weight, would not go back into place. I took my car to a body shop and they said they would have to take the whole door apart and install a new mirror. Total estimate: $3900.

Figuring I had nothing to lose, I watched a YouTube video on how to take the mirror unit apart, which I did. I found the impingement that was blocking its movement, and pounded it with a flathead screwdriver and hammer until it popped back. Put the mirror housing back together, works good as new! Only one extra screw when I was done. I think I’ll get the large fries to reward myself.

 

When someone says "With all due respect...", they'll inevitably follow it with an insult. In that case, the person is therefore also implying that the recipient is due NO respect since they're insulting them. Boom, double-roast. Maybe obvious, but apparently not to me... with all due respect to me.

Tesla has confirmed its latest bait-and-switch: Cybertruck owners will not get the Autosteer feature they paid for.

Instead, they will get a year of ‘Supervised Full Self-Driving’.

When Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in late 2023, the software was incomplete, especially regarding its Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) features like ‘Supervised (FSD) Full Self-Driving’, which was included in the price of all early Cybertrucks.

It took Tesla almost a year to start releasing its FSD on the Cybertruck.

After Tesla stopped making new Cybertruck Foundation Series, which are fully loaded with all options, buyers started to have the option of buying the $8,000 FSD package or keeping only the Autopilot package, which is included in the price.

Autopilot’s two main features are Traffic Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer. The first is self-explanatory, while Autosteer is Tesla’s name for active lane keeping.

The vast majority of Tesla vehicle owners don’t buy the FSD package.

As of now, 16 months after Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck, the automaker has yet to deliver Autosteer on the electric pickup truck.

Today, Tesla started reaching out to Cybertruck owners to let them know that it won’t make Autosteer available for Cybertruck owners who haven’t bought FSD:

“As we improve our Autopilot technology, our feature sets will change. Accordingly, Autosteer will not be available for Cybertruck outside of Full Self-Driving (Supervised).“

Instead, Tesla offers a year of free FSD trial to Cybertruck owners.

More details in the article.

My favorite part is how they're now saying both "full self-driving' and "supervised".

I’ll start: my ear wax. Several months ago, I observed what I thought to be extra wax coming out of my ears. Since then, I can’t stop trying to keep my ears clean. Wash in the shower with soap every day. Stick my finger in there when nobody’s looking to try to get some out. And so on.

I don’t use q-tips, and I know the advice is to simply let it come out when it wants. But I hate cleaning the gunk off my AirPods! Stupid ear wax, I think I feel some now.

 
 

Like many, I prefer subscribing to RSS feeds instead of being force-fed by an algorithm. However, sometimes I wish I could comment and/or chat with others about the contents of specific articles in the feed.

I know it's possible to post a link to the article in a link aggregator like Lemmy and have a discussion, but that takes effort to post links and not every article in a feed would be submitted. It also doesn't curate the discussion to only the feeds a user is interested in.

So, my idea is that in a feed, tapping/clicking on the article would show comments people have left and allow the reader to make their own comments/replies. The comments could also be available in a read-only state via api or their own RSS feed, so authors could easily embed them.

I did a little searching and couldn't find anything like this. If this seems useful to anybody else, I think I'd like to write it. So... thoughts?
