Nest parasitism is not unique to cuckoos and you can't really put a value judgement on evolution. Brown-headed cowbirds are the most common nest parasites in North America. There's lots of species where the parents kill their own children if they either think they aren't strong enough to survive or if the food supply is too insecure to care for them. It's just nature.

Screen readers can't parse an image and images aren't searchable.

Given that there's a bunch of people whose livelihood is connected to a show, yeah jerking them around like this really does suck.

Well it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but Randy Pitchford is really good at providing ammo for these types of headlines. Guy needs to learn to keep his mouth shut sometimes.

This is maybe the worst implementation of this template I've seen.

The hospital a nurse friend of mine was working at started treating nurses like servers at a restaurant: if it "wasn't busy" they'd cancel their shift last minute or cut them and tell them to go home. And of course they also have on call shifts. Impossible for someone to make a living wage like that if you never know how many hours you'll get, and yet they also claim so much time commitment that you'll be unable to work second jobs. Profit-driven healthcare is never going to provide best quality of care. It's pure greed.

The Karen thing is weird to me because it's a pretty typical name and I know multiple karens. But it must be generational since it appears to have had a dramatic drop off in the 80s.

And by inverted you mean inverted from their proper inverted position. So uninverted. Which is the inverse of correct.

I think this game had trouble deciding whether it wanted to be an open world sandbox thing or have a narrative/progression. I never felt like it did well at trying to be both.

 

From 2000. I think about this one a lot.

 
 
 

Last year, banks quickly raised interest rates to record levels and added new monthly fees on credit cards when a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule threatened a key revenue source for the industry.

Now, they’re far more reluctant to reverse those steps, even after bank trade groups succeeded in killing the CFPB rule in federal court last month.

Synchrony and Bread Financial, two of the biggest players in the business of issuing branded credit cards for the likes of Amazon , Lowe’s and Wayfair

, are keeping the higher rates in place, executives said in recent conference calls.

“We feel pretty comfortable that the rule has been vacated,” Synchrony CEO Brian Doubles said on April 22. “With that said, we don’t currently have plans to roll anything back in terms of the changes that we made.”

 
 

Posting a screenshot of the interface when I'm typing a comment reply as an example. I have large thumbs and I have to scale the keyboard up pretty high to be able to type. Thunder has what I would call a lot of wasted space in comment reply mode. The button bar could be hidden (it's not something I really use) and either the header text could be shrunk or omitted entirely. Just making the header scroll rather than being fixed could work as well. This would probably be a good use case for floating action buttons. There's basically only two things I care about when typing a comment reply: seeing the text I'm typing, and referencing the text I'm replying to. Would love some options that allow me to maximize the space used.

 

Sadly I think I'm finally ready to put Sync out to pasture since it isn't maintained.
