If that were the case, then everyone who lived/worked near Ground Zero in the months before 9/11 would have had these same health consequences. Instead, it's clear that that isn't the case. Plenty of research, including

Sure, yes, compared to the prices of storage 35 years ago, it's a bargain. Compared to the prices of storage today, when people are presumably buying the product, it's actually a bad price.

Judges are not at all stupid enough to fall for that. You would get laughed out of court for that. Judges are not computers, and they can not be tricked with these kinds of technicalities. In fact, the defense of "I wrote the prompts t

It was this one: https://walzr.com/sf-parking/ >This site only worked for 4 hours until the SFMTA cut the data source I was using. This data is a snapshot of how it looked on Sept. 25, 2025 at noon. What a shame! St

I’m astonished at how bad search in Gmail is. I searched for “iPhone receipt” to find out when I purchased my current iPhone, and it pulled up every single email I’ve ever gotten from Best Buy, since they all have a link in there to buy an

I’m a counselor at a day camp this summer, and we have Smart Boards in our rooms. I do some of the NYT games with the kids each morning (and then usually the smart board is off for the rest of the day). I completely agree. If this didn’t ha

I hit Costco once a month just because they have the only pharmacy near me that always has my prescription medications in stock. Then I hit the bakery section for the blueberry muffins, speed through self-checkout, and then get a hot dog an

>If you ever listen to music and sing along, even for a few seconds, the volume cuts because it thinks you're talking to someone. It's a shame. This became such a huge problem when watching Jeopardy with my AirPods. I keep mumb

The automatic switching from noise canceling to transparency mode really does work incredibly, and I'm still shocked at how well it works, but it still feels ridiculous to speak to someone with AirPods in my ears. Even if I know that t

Instagram drove me so insane with that that I spent a while searching through the app to figure out how to disable it. There's a way to do it, and for a while it worked; I only got notifications about things like direct messages and po

It still has comments on albums/songs/artists, but most of the conversations are a bit dead. I've still been using it since it's the best service (in my opinion) for simply tracking everything you listen to. Spotify doe

A lot of people here have colleagues who are playing with Claude Code but who have essentially no experience with development at all. It’s not at all surprising. Not everyone is a developer.

This is a thing that has never happened. Concern for children's safety should be thrown towards the Catholic Church [0], and arguably even more towards various Protestant churches [1], which have remained in the midst of a decades-long

I'm sure they can afford that, but would that end up paying for itself? Would that end up bringing in enough new paying users to justify spending all that money on a team of Android engineers? They probably haven't done it because

I ended up doing something similar to this project a year or so ago: for nearly an entire year, I tracked every single thing I ate or drank. Who knows how many hours I spent scanning nutritional facts on the backs of boxes, estimating amoun
