That was due to additives to ethanol cleaning agents - it was a thing done on purpose

Aside from not being Trump (which is a great trait), I know next to nothing about Harris. I know she's a former prosecutor, and might be able to identify her if she showed up at my door

What else should I know about her (and should I be hopeful of her pushing any meaningful progressive policies)?

I love how he literally named things in his field of view for this. That speech certainly included words

Because AI is amazing.

My friend wanted a scorecard to rate Rick and Morty episodes to determine if it's falling off - I could spend a few hours and maybe come up with something, but I wouldn't. My little assistant did it in a few seconds, with results good enough to motivate me and more of my friend group to join in

I was about to go back to my boss to tell him my task was impossible and could have killed the entire idea, but then I expressed my frustrations just to vent. To my surprise, it offered a very specific and relevant solution, despite having no access to anything beyond our chat logs - it wasn't quite right, but it got me on the right track, and 5 minutes later I found a solution

This shit is miracle technology. I'm running a very simple system I built myself, and it's still good enough to make my life measurably better. This needs to be in the hands of everyone asap, not through some service, but running under their own control

There's one fact I like to drop on people before discussing my views on Gaza

The average age is roughly 18.

Just let the sink in... It doesn't mean there's no one older, but 1 60 year old would offset 3 infants, more than 6 10 year olds, or a whole classroom of teenagers. Humans frequently live to that age without medical care and living in terrible conditions, if you die earlier then that, there's probably a specific cause you can point to

Nope, it's cetirizine, the other one you mentioned doesn't work, and Benadryl makes me sleepy. Looking at the bottle, it doesn't even list rashes or anything - just seasonal allergies lol

Or he could do what most of the county wants, and give us meaningful change. That's what has been drawing voters since Obama, that's why Trump won in the first place - Hillary is the status quo incarnate

But we've been strung along for way too long, he needs to take a stand and make some enemies

I have allergy meds on me at all times, because sometimes I break out in hives for no reason.

One day, I'm sneezing like crazy from seasonal allergies, and my coworker asked if I tried any medicine. I suddenly realized allergy medicine works for allergies

Yes. Every vagina is different, and some are both less textured and larger. Usually the texture makes it not much of a big deal, and other factors matter more

One girl where it stood out to me (my first time actually). She was also very very wet, and the three aspects together made for a much less stimulating experience. It was incredibly soft and smooth, but it was almost like a silk pillow... I'd push in at an angle and it would feel great, but then just give and slide me back into a loose grip

I think kegles could easily overcome that though... There's a lot of muscles there that can make a lot of difference. Not only does it feel better, if you develop those muscles they can twitch involuntarily when the right buttons are pushed (which is a huge turn on), and the occasional squeeze is another layer to interact on

The big deal is they didn't admit to having accidentally auctioned it (the alternative is they knowingly did so despite requests to return it), and in the same breath talked about how they offered recompense (implying that it came before the video calling them out when it didn't), and firing back on justified criticism as if they're the victim

Oh, and all while claiming they own up to their mistakes even in the face of consequences.

They bulldozed a smaller company without a hint of empathy. He doesn't consider that maybe the price could have come down or the performance (when properly used) would be worth it to a small segment of overclockers - even in the supposed mia culpa Linus takes several shots at the product he basically buried

[-] DreamDrifter@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 year ago

Is it though? That amount of money is meaningless to a company, which Linus loves to talk about these days.

The problem is, he shit all over a startup company, failed to return the prototype after multiple requests, then when called out on it offered to pay for it and phrased his response to make it seem like he hadn't spent months ghosting them until another YouTuber brought attention to the issue.

Shitting on it - fine, he's extremely harsh every time it's brought up, but he can have his own opinion. I think it's a bad take, he doesn't even entertain the idea that they might lower the price, improve it to work on multiple models, or maybe this fits a high end niche for PC ricing - it sounds impractical now, but maybe a few sales would be enough for them to make a more practical version

But whatever, I can get over that. The fact that he didn't say "we had some miscommunication in my team, this is our bad, we're having growing pains and I never would have sold it if I knew they wanted it back. We reached out to them to make them whole, but we'll do better" is pretty incriminating.

That's not owning up to their mistakes - either they knowingly ignored requests to give it back, which is fucked up, or someone made a mistake and he made excuses instead of owning up to it, and tried to quietly bury the problem and fire back on the guy who called them out

To your point, they published a method that could be replicated in less than a week in basically any college or lab in the country.

Fraud makes little sense here - this screams exuberance to me
