But in the morning? He’s making waffles.
- Comment on Uber's new shuttle service sounds a lot like a bus route 1 month ago:
Frankly it doesn’t matter. Japan has several private companies operating rail services. Tokyo has several subway systems.
We need more appropriately priced, accessible mass transit. I don’t care if it’s public or private.
- Comment on Uber's new shuttle service sounds a lot like a bus route 1 month ago:
Because nobody in any public transit board has ever implemented such a thing?
In North Carolina, park and ride busses for the state fair have long been a thing, among a litany of several other examples.

How do you figure energy extraction of both are remotely comparable metrics?
- Comment on Peak technology 3 months ago:
For those models probably not a bad deal, if someone only needed a car for a few months. Stupid if you need something longer term.

Subscription printer. Why the fuck is that even a thing.

- Comment on Schools in America apparently have their own army recruiter 4 months ago:
What score do you think is the cutoff to not be called?
My guess is they call you regardless of score and use the score to decide how to make the sell. They need all levels of people to stand in front of bullets and maintain a base/outpost.

But we need one that isn’t using our logins to track where/what we are doing.

Right. And then I’m like … Okay but I didn’t select a person’s head. There is no motorcycle in this square.
Then the system tells me I’m wrong, and I get all “I’m the fucking human, asshole”

Ørly. Æny protips you cån suggest?
- Comment on Average website visit in 2024 4 months ago:
For the motorcycles and bikes… Are we supposed to add the squares with the humans riding it? Are they part of the system?
Which gives me the fewest goddamn captchas?

Do these socks appreciate or pay a dividend?
- Comment on Mothers know that this is a wholesome combination. 4 months ago:
But they also state they do not understand the black line, which I would argue understanding it is the entire point of the graph.
Yeah, fewer infants are dying but access to the improvements is not equal. That’s a pretty important point to reflect on.
(Obviously without any ability to determine the causation of the problem… Just that one exists and should be investigated)
- Comment on Mothers know that this is a wholesome combination. 4 months ago:
Well, the black squiggly line in the opposite direction shows an increasing relative gap between races, which you don’t care about.
It shows that while infant mortality has gone down for all, and even though it’s significant, that black children are dying at an increasing proportion to their white peers. But you don’t care that it fundamentally shows that they’re getting the same access to the same improvements (either medical care, education of the mother on prenatal care, etc).
- Comment on Just speak normally 6 months ago:
In danish this is basically how it’s done on increments of a half.
One and one half is said as half (til) two
But it’s only on small numbers. It goes Half, one, half til two, two, half til three (or optionally two and a half!), three, three and a half…
Dont even get me started on the rest of the numbers

Unless you live in a district that ends it’s school year in mid June. Then you have to go to school until lunch on June 182nd.

I hope that one of the new days is named after you and we all curse you every Potatuesday for creating more workdays.
- Comment on Jesse is smarter than what we give him credit for. 7 months ago:
I’m proposing that June is 365 days long, and we just abolish seasons. Can’t believe nobody thought of this.
Leap days would still be in February, so don’t forget to keep your jacket for one day every four years

It only works on empty containers. How many closed containers do you encounter and really wish you could see the air inside

- Comment on Blueberry milkshakes 7 months ago:
It’s not a chemical compound, the active component is an amebocyte. Same reason we can’t just make red blood cells and need other humans to donate them.
There have been other attempts at making synthetic coagulants without broad success. The thing that seems to be the most effective at minimizing the horseshoe crab burden is using machines to do the detection and cut down on the amount of LAL needed vs running the test visually.

What moron made this. They obviously have no idea how to read signs.

The sales dip is also less than 25 percent. If you assume constant sales through the year, the timing is also reasonable.

- Comment on Why isn't there a "Spotify premium" for news? 10 months ago:
I think this would actually drive shittier quality.
Current models, like the preceding model of physical paper delivery, have a relatively fixed income stream from the subscriber base. They make the same amount of money whether the news day is “Japan Attacks Pearl Harbor” level or whether the most interesting story is that a German Shepherd won the AKC dog show.
Under a service that aggregates and pays a minor amount per click, how does NYT stand out above WaPo? Or Ap or Reuters? Click bait headlines and incomplete stories so they can write multiple and get more clicks, because each click is not worth very much.
I think the better model for NYT et al would be to offer a punch card like option: 10 articles, $15… or whatever. They should have enough data to determine what the average number of articles read is, per subscriber, to determine what the tipping point is, and capture some new pay-as-you go subscribers.
