@shesbonky Even the elder millennial had to use actual books for writing papers up through college. Online encyclopedias were not considered reliable which is hilarious because they are way less reliable now and frequently allowed to be used in lower academia.

ma'am, respectfully, genX did all that with no internet access we hand wrote those 12-pages using fucking encyclopedias and zima siphoned in a sprite bottle
Sophia ❣️@KeruboSk

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

🚨 TOYOTA JUST MADE A CAR KEY SO CONFUSING… DEALERSHIPS HAVE TO TRAIN PEOPLE HOW TO UNLOCK THEIR DOOR A full-grown adult has to explain how to unlock a car door using the new Toyota card key. The key card literally has instructions printed on it. Angle the card. Find the “right spot.” Try again. Like you’re diffusing a bomb. Even he can’t get it on the first try: “Not working… not working right.” Now people will be standing outside their own car… waving a card around hoping it works. How did Toyota just make a car key WORSE?

@Vanglorious13 @BornInTheU43614 @anttsinc The most recent WTF was: can we build a pool? It is a swim and tennis neighborhood. The neighborhood pool is one of the main draws to people moving there because they are so uncommon in our town.

The HOA said they had an assessment fee of $20,000 per house! They offered to let them pay it off in 10 years! They refused topay it Now all of the homes are being foreclosed on! Turns out the HOA took in advance of $ 300,000 in cash upfront that needs to be paid back to the construction company! If you divide the $300,000 into all the homes it’s about a $20,000 per Home fee!

@BornInTheU43614 @anttsinc We have had a lot more people moving into the neighborhood who know it is an HOA but dont think the rules should apply to them. We are open plan community with no outbuildings allowed. Been that way for 50 years and reason it is one of the most desirable neighborhoods.

I just walk up to my Tesla and get in. At the end of my drive I get out and walk away. All that locking/unlocking, shifting, parking brake, seat adjustment, climate control, and music stuff just happens for me. Phone key is the way. I do carry a plastic keycard in my wallet in case I ever need it.

@neidermyer_r @bruce_barrett Unfortunately, he will. I sometimes reinsure trucking companies (cut back a lot in the last 5yrs). One of the worst losses was from a guy that had previously caused a huge loss, went to prison for drug stuff,got hired back by the company when out, caused another huge accident.

@mattvanswol It is crazy how many of the people in the replies are totally fine with paying large amounts of taxes. 8.9% of the average tax payers taxes go toward misappropriated funds, i.e. fraud, per the govs data.

Anyone else having trouble getting up to go to work today after watching Nick Shirley's video? Pretty sure 30% of everything I make today is going to some sort of insane daycare, hospice, SNAP, or Medicaid fraud. We shouldn’t be paying taxes until this is fixed.

@Grady_Booch I mean Netscape was good, tho he didn’t do it alone. But really, this guy has been kind of a weenie ever since. And I came up in Silicon Valley in the semiconductor industry. I haven’t had a good impression of the guy in 25 years.

@NFLburneracct @KCMartinK @PabloTorre The guy publicly questioned the videos of nuclear tests on Joe rogan show. He didn't understand how they could get film of it and therefore questioned it. You have to wonder if he is so high on his own farts that he can't fathom that there are people smarter than him.

@KCMartinK @PabloTorre did you miss the part where mark said introspection was invented 400 years ago? despite it being so obviously incorrect, does the confidence with which mark is wrong not bother you? does it not make you question other things he confidently says? if not—it should!

Here is the blast wave from the M2.7 CME which occured a couple hours ago. The source region is AR 4392 which is growing and within the Earth-strike zone. The blast wave spreads out in all directions and indicates an Earth-directed CME is on the way.

@CJHandmer I was about 1.7k into fixing this on my f150. Should be a class action lawsuit. With modern cars it is a nightmare too because all the sensors are so sensitive to any little aberration in voltage.

I don't think rich kids get their aura from great genes or from access to anything in particular, it's the self assuredness and risk appetite that comes from knowing that none of your fuckups will permanently ruin your life
Johan Jelqington@j3lqingt0n

Gasoline has been thrown on this fire because of everyone's unwillingness to admit the simple fact that the rich kids would always have a leg up on everyone else not because of computers, but because their rich parents had already passed on their higher than average IQs to them.

@TS_Secrets We've done 18ish hrs and it is a bit rough but a minivan does make it more palatable. We are in midwest so basically anything east of Mississippi is driving. West is flying.

Serious question for families… How many hours do you drive before you just fly? We drove 16 hours yesterday and I’m absolutely exhausted. Halfway through I was thinking: “Why didn’t we just book the flights?” My rule has always been: If it’s under 8 hours we drive. If it’s over 8 hours we fly. But flights for a family aren’t cheap and the TSA Deal worried me, so sometimes the road trip wins. The math in my head usually looks like this: Drive: • Gas 4 times • Snacks • A hotel sometimes • 2 full days of travel Fly: • Expensive tickets • Airport chaos • Rental car But you arrive in a few hours instead of two days. Yesterday reminded me… 16 hours in a car with kids feels like 40. Curious where everyone draws the line. What’s your rule? How many hours before you stop driving and start flying?
