That's so dumb. :( Fast forwarding through ads is half the reason for recording in the first place.

This. Not to mention a lot of people are food-insecure and cannot access or afford healthier options.

And not a single mention of where he built the Telechron factory. The first and last, I believe, was built in Ashland, MA. Recently, they put up a nice commemorative light-up sign and lit up the old clock tower too.

I want to verbally pronounce this "Apple Pickle". Is that intended?

This is my bet; and mayyybe some external bad actors taking advantage of the situation on top of that.

Yes this. This is what I've been trying to explain to my friends. When Tron came out in 1982, it was disliked because back then using CGI effects was considered "cheating". Then awhile later Pixar did movies entirely with CGI

Nor the FCC. I just got a call from a contractor-recruiter call center. (About half of them are scams, but you can't tell, because they all sound like the same foreign call center.) The caller ID said "Public Service". That h

In my professional experience (since before the pandemic), I've been encouraged not to mix work with my personal life. Regardless, even when I ignored this advice and did share personal details and be myself, the interactions have alwa

Ah, there must be a face-saving campaign on too, because when I see YouTube ads, I've been seeing a lot of content insisting "ASPARTAME IS SAFE."

It is. Mass resident here. When the groups against this law were campaigning, they televised very creepy PSAs explaining this farcical point, to scare residents into voting against it. One I remember in particular was a POV shot of a man st

I've actually been wanting to do this, but I don't personally know a lot of good sources that still use RSS. Would love to see your feed list.

New reddit is the worst. Who even designed it? Every time I accidentally find myself on new reddit UI, I feel like I'm looking through foggy glasses. Over the course of about 20 seconds, I blindly click around, feeling lost and confuse

Not that I know of. I keep poking around all the ones that pop up here, some of which are nicely made but still small, and I've been contemplating joining a Lemmy instance or starting one with some friends.

Smelled this one coming miles away. Next, they'll hand over fan-built communities to the entities that own the IPs they're dedicated to. Eg. r/starwars to Disney, r/startrek to Viacom/Paramount, etc. Then, old.reddi

This is incredible. This could have saved me perhaps hundreds of grams of filament. Your userbase must be exploding!

I love this so much. It's everything I want in a practical typeface. It's only missing a couple little things. Can we get an alternate 7 digit with the line through it, and 1 digit with the bottom horizontal line?

Or used! I get most of my power tools used/refurbished. I get what you're saying about the US becoming low-trust. This is just another example. I feel like it's the same kind of thing when a city erects hostile architecture.

This sounds like a great idea that won't backfire and brick perfectly good power tools in any way. /s

"So, in the eyes of those in the future, we may or may not remain human." You mean that, in the future, whatever we become may see present-us as closer to the monkeys?

At my office they want us to come back for social reasons, but nobody has time to socialize because we're always so backed up with tickets. Frankly it's easier to work overtime from home.

I'm 25 - I loved qwerty physical keyboards on those "texting phones" from the late 2000s. The Sidekick, the enV, the Octane, etc. To me, as a kid, it looked like a small laptop, and I wanted to run real applications on it and

The Christa McAuliffe center has a neat spaceship simulation where students perform different crew roles onboard, doing different hands-on scientific tasks. I went in 6th grade on a field trip, and my job was capturing (a computer mini-game
