The daylight thing is accurate, but almost all cameras pick up IR.
You can point an IR TV remote at your phone’s camera and see the lights blinking when you click buttons.

- Comment on 8 characters? How about we make it 16? 4 days ago:
Lots of employees did keep the stipends as a pay bonus, but then it was on them if they used their personal phones for work and they got caught up in Open Records.
- Comment on 8 characters? How about we make it 16? 4 days ago:
Fun fact: I work in municipal government and they started making us use 2-factor that sent messages to our cell phones. That came back to bite us when we got an Open Records request that included a request for text messages between staff containing specific keywords. Employees who didn’t have a city-issued phone and hadn’t been using their personal phones for work got pretty upset when I had to take their phones and search their text histories.
And that’s how every remaining employee down to the guys running the lawnmowers in the parks department got a monthly phone stipend.

Between this and Dex, there’s little reason left for me to keep using Samsung.

My even-more-pedantic take is that poisonous is correct, but imprecise. There’s lots of ways to be poisoned. Ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact, and, yes, injection. But it’s all poison.
A poison is a harmful substance. A toxin is a poison created by a living organism. A Venom is a toxin that’s delivered subcutaneously.
Poison is the parrallelogram to venom’s square.

I cut my teeth on bulletin boards. We actually ran a 2-node bbs with 2 dedicated phone lines out of our house.

I absolutely remember Trillian. It’s what convinced me to finally make an AIM account to talk with my “mainstream” friends who didn’t have ICQ or IRC, since I wouldn’t actually need to run any new software.

You don’t know if you’re sane. Millions of people aren’t aware of their mental illness and manage to live normal lives. LLMs can trigger delusional states in vulnerable people that have never experienced them because they are essentially delision-generating machines.
- Comment on BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace 1 week ago:
Not having to keep pace. They just get the competitive cars banned in the US, then charge so much fucking money here for their shit products it’s worth losing the rest of the world.

1/1/however far back the wheel scrolls before I click the year.
And it’s distressingly common for it to under-report my age.

Yeah. My conditional formatting makes some of my Excel tables look like I’m defragging my harddrive.

College degrees demonstrate you can complete a long-term project with disparate, often competing priorities while meeting deadlines and milestones.

Yeah, but then they tried going all woke in the late 90s with the CD-RW stuff and data reassignment procedures.

- Comment on Don't we all hate this 3 weeks ago:
Write-offs are deductions from income, not reductions in taxes owed. They only get to deduct the taxes they would have paid if they had kept the donations.
Let’s imagine their annual income was $10,000,000. Their nominal tax rate would have them owing $2,100,000.
If they received a $100,000 in donations, that would make their income 10,100,000. But with the donations they could write off the 100 grand, reducing their tax bill by $21,000, for a total of $2,100,000.
Either way, they pay the same in taxes with or without the donations.
- Comment on Don't we all hate this 3 weeks ago:
That’s not how tax deductions work. All the write-offs allow is for them to not count the money donated as income, so they make the same amount of money on the sale whether or not you donate.
The benefit to the company is PR or donating to a non-profit with a mission that aligns with their corporate goals. For instance, Bass Pro may ask you to donate to wildlands preservation non-profits that maintain environments in which people fish and hunt.

He said rape is bad, but also any sex outside of marriage is bad.
So, by his logic, raping a woman is no worse than getting consent if you aren’t married.

It’s Austin. The traffic is so shitty you can’t go fast enough to get in a wreck most of the time.
