I stayed in an Airbnb once where the host was actually trying to do the last “b” of it. she made really excellent almond croissants. sorta doubt it was above board though.

Sagebrush posted:ontario just revoked their $14,000 EV tax rebate if the vehicle you buy costs more than $75,000, logically pointing out that if you can afford a car costing as much as the average canadian family makes in a year, you don't really need extra handouts. all teslas in canada cost more than $75,000. good

Sagebrush posted:airline seats are unbelievably terrible and i'm convinced that they do it on purpose. those don't have to function as flotation devices in the event of a water landing because nobody is going to survive that in a cessna anyway IDK if it's the lense but that looks too narrow for me which I hate more than hard seats because my rear end recovers from them a lot faster than my back does from scrunching up my shoulders for hours

bob dobbs is dead posted:isn't there like 3 water landings total in history where an appreciable number of people survived that's probably the right order of magnitude but it's more about preventing possible tragedy than saving an appreciable number of lives. sounds real bad when survivors drown because there's nothing to float on even if there usually aren't survivors to need to float

there's a great video that i can't seem to find of a plane doing a belly landing on a runway and it just sorta... slides... much smoother than i'd expect. apparently it was smooth enough that the passengers thought the gear must have come out at the last minute e: here we go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scUoqzG67-w Shame Boy fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Mar 12, 2018 |

Chris Knight posted:was this posted already? https://www.thedailybeast.com/facebooks-algorithm-hijacked-this-dollar8-billion-company-to-sell-cat-blindfolds I recently read a more in-depth analysis about that on an ad industry site. I'll post it when I find it again on my workstation. They even optimized the ads towards conversions but even with that goal in mind either the FB algorithm massively overvalues clicks or these "curiosity clicks" on dog dildo masks actually drive revenue in these micro target groups.
