if anything i think people are realizing auto-only phones kind of suck now too and for many situations vastly prefer email/some form of instant messaging/texting

i'm definitely in this camp as far as my job goes, simply because text leaves an easily searchable paper trail you can forward to shitlords when they inevitably yell "why isn't this correct???" at you

if phones offered a robust call history search function i wouldn't mind it

neat fact: you can have as many motorcycles as you can fit in a metered spot in denver, and as long as the meter's paid, everything's fine, but if it runs out, every biek gets a ticket lmao

i think that's the idea, yeah. well, ideally, there would also be bike sized parking spots that are 1/5th or whatever the price, but

to be fair the LNT does appear to diverge from data in ranges where background radiation isn't just a rounding error. it's gonna be good fun seeing people argue about this poo poo online in the future

lol i didn't know. all i know is cancer rates at background radiation levels don't really conform to the LNT, which i find surprising but not impossible? i didn't know this was controversial :v:

reminder that back when i had an ambien prescription for working 2nd shift to make it so i could go home and immediately go to sleep after getting off work at 1 am and not sleep through the whole day the next day, i took it BEFORE the shower instead of after my shower when i was already in bed one time and i woke up banned for posting in the coupons forum asking for help making "strawberry casserole" and i woke up to find my ice cream maker broken, and a strawberry smoothie poured into a casserole dish sitting on the top rack of my oven, which i was apparently too out of it to turn on and burn down my house.

if you are gonna take an ambien, do it when you are already in bed and don't have access to the internet and turn your goddamn lights off IMMEDIATELY.

i'm just real glad miami beach mayor phillip "pump boy" levine didn't win. he's so proud of those loving pumps too, they were mentioned in like the first sentence on his "about me" page lmao

(for anyone who doesn't know, miami beach floods every day at high tide since it's sinking into the ocean due to climate change, and since miami beach is full of rich people infinity money must be spent to save it. pump boy's solution was to build a network of megawatt-scale pumping stations to pump the water back into the ocean :thumbsup:)

you'd think rich people wouldn't be so incredibly stupid and just move one floor up instead of spending all their money on pumps?

haha who am i kidding, it's taxpayer money rich people don't pay taxes

saw a kid (10-12) wearing heelys at the supermarket the other day, and was like "wait, heelys are still a thing?"

they're somehow still in business, but they must be really desperate because they're making shoes in grown up sizes now lol. as a kid i was always a couple sizes ahead of their largest size and it sucked

i'd argue computer touchers just make normal amounts of money because it's a fairly new thing in the mainstream, it's just other jobs have been ~optimized~ into literal hell already.

obviously in some situations there are benefits to juggling multiple things at once, but the idea that you can improve your results or save time overall by "multitasking" is wrong.

yeah a bunch of tasks in computer touching can be parallelised, like working on thing a while thing b is crunching data in the background or whatever, because it's really the computer doing it, and i just figure that's what people mean when they say they're multitasking

yeah, i do sometimes type while talking to people, and i'm sure it shows in my post quality actually all my posts suck

for real tho, that's about the most i can manage of "multitasking": finishing a sentence i was already typing while looking away from the screen because someone started talking to me. i'm generally terrible at it though, most people talk about how they watch tv or listen to podcasts while playing games and i legit can't do that since i lose the thread of one or the other thing constantly.
