Still live here. For the last 40 years. And haven't ever seen a rat. Now mice is a different story. Dont often see them running around but dang it, by the amount of mouse shite in my parked RV over winter, there are a ton of them. They

That, plus interest rates jumping and run away inflation have cooled all auto sales.

I went to college with a guy who said he was going to build a submarine. I thought it was a bit out there, but he was a driven guy. 40 years later I had a random call from his brother and asked about his sub dream. Turns out he not only bui

100% agree. As a former airline employee at a major airline, I've given up flying altogether. I've heard the 'but driving to the airport is more dangerous than flying' argument a zillion times. That's not the point.

Am 62 and have a large Meccano set in storage. All metal pieces, no plastic, and no "kits", just booklets of projects you could build from a simple cart to a huge gantry crane. Looks like the 'new' Meccano is basically a

Judging by the number of silly youtubes of bozos driving their Teslas while pretending to sleep, there's definitely a slight extra danger factor for a car that advertises as 'full self driving' but doesn't.

Well, to be fair, the 'high demand' was at a much lower price, and it was also four years ago, when money was flowing much faster and interest rates were rock bottom. Things have tightened up economically a great deal since then.

I like the design. Not quite sure how they figure its going to reduce THAT much space as the video seems to show a single motor WITH controller and inverter being removed and four new motors replacing it, but nothing else. Isn't the ul

My personal result was quitting 10 years on reddit and giving up my worthless but substantial karma. The next result is that I noticed I became less argumentative in real life and tend to keep my opinions to myself more, all in all much app

Ah. Its nice to know my worst nightmare has already been in a video game from 25 years ago. I guess I'll just go outside and stare at squirrels for awhile.

I'd go all in on the most nefarious - hacked data could be used to design a virus that only kills people with one particular genetic trait. I'm pretty sure there's an uber dystopian horror movie in there somewhere.

Even worse though, is that it doesnt even have to be you submitting your data. Several killers have been caught because their family members have submitted DNA and the killers have been tracked down using DNA ancestry. It really sucks, beca

Was a principal about 15 years ago when the "whole language" approach to learning reading and writing was a fad. Had a Grade 1 teacher who emphatically refused to even try it, she was sticking with teaching phonics come hell or hi

Its overdue. As a principal I used to ban phones in our school. Back before every kid had one. If they were caught playing on them or if it rang during class, the phone went to the teacher's desk til the end of class. If it happened a

The UK has been watching Canada. Our Prime Minister had people's bank accounts frozen and their vehicles impounded and hundreds charged with mischief for attending a peaceful, albeit 3 week long protest in our capital. There was NO vio

Well, the Aptera may be expensive but it sounds like the Squad wouldn't be much more than a high end electric bicycle, so not really.

The Squad is a great concept. But the problem in America is not great concepts. Its convincing the public, and therefore investors, that small, lightweight road machines are viable. Aptera is facing the same challenge. The concept is fantas

This site (which currently wont connect) was created by some redditors. I understand the sentiment, and the reasoning but I predict it will fail as did previous attempts to create a very similar landlord rating site. Why? Because unless the

I couldnt have written that any better. And THIS is why thousands of people showed up in downtown Ottawa and stayed for three weeks. Because we were disgusted and DEEPLY offended by the hubris. And what was the gov's response? An even

This is exactly what I thought of when I saw "social media-induced illness": MSMI I saw this in the school I led, especially in young girls. One of them starts cutting, suddenly we have multiple girls cutting. One of them struggle

I dont rent often but definitely go with Enterprise when I do. They are the only one left in my city that offers unlimited mileage and my typical trip is 1800 km round trip so it matters. Last trip Enterprise was fully booked so I did try B

People generally dont hang out that close to where the flow is active, however during the 2018 flow into Puna, there were a lot of people who got very close to it. Some wore gas masks, like the volcanologists who were taking lava samples bu

Hearing their voice is important. I once matched with a women who looked intriguing, met up for coffee after texting and as soon as she started talking my overwhelming shock was "dear god, she sounds EXACTLY like my ex-wife!" That

That's completely geeky and absolutely entertaining. Can't believe the amount of work that went into that bit of ingenuity.

I don't believe, as an ex-English teacher, that any teacher thinks a student is 'acing' their essay if that's not shown in their other writing. Little Johnny, with his poor spelling and grammar, does not suddenly turn in

Not kill. Control. Like Tesla deleting features that the original owner paid for. Like BMW charging a monthly fee to activate features already built into the car. Like UI updates that are automatic and make options worse but you can't

I found the solution to getting hired a long time ago. Be self employed. My boss is a bit of an ogre and he never gives bonuses, but at least I get to sleep with his wife, so that's a plus.
