My partner just did the SAME operation on our Shork vacuum cleaner due to steadily declining performance. The ultimate diagnosis is the brush head has lost its brushes. They don’t sell a replacement, but they do sell an entire power head replacement for $99. Fuck these guys, we’ll never buy a Shark again.

I test drove one because I had to know. It was awful. I’ve driven dozens of different vehicles and it by far is the worst I’ve ever driven. It’s just stupid. Everything about it is stupid.

- Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. 4 weeks ago:
So you misread my comment but you’re one of those types who can’t admit when they’re wrong. I’d say it’s our little secret but I see someone else pointed it out too.

So then you’re in favor of these government backdoors? Because your comment suggests the opposite.

Huh? I don’t think you understand my comment. You’re just agreeing with me and I’m already agreeing with you.
- Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. 5 weeks ago:
As an American, I can vouch for this.
- Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. 5 weeks ago:
Continuing the analogy, government agencies can absolutely eavesdrop on in-person conversations unless you expend significant resources to prevent it. This is exactly what I believe will happen - organized crime will develop alternate methods the government can’t access while these backdoors are used to monitor less advanced criminals and normal people.

- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 2 months ago:
My wife and I ran the numbers and, in our area, Uber Eats was pulling in about 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of the meal between charges to the restaurant and the customer. We were discussing opening a non-profit delivery service in our area. Turns out it’s pretty hard to do.

I’m sorry that you have so little faith in the 10 year olds you know.
Does your comment have a constructive point or are you simply the sort that looks for technicalities to correct so they might feel smugly satisfied about themselves?
- Comment on LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey 2 months ago:
They stole referrals. I’ll explain like you’re 10, it’s a bit much for a 5 year old.
Let’s say you watch a video with a link to a product in the description. Normally, when you click that link, a referral code is embedded so the person who made the video gets a referral fee when you make a purchase.
Honey would remove those referral codes and replace it with their own.

- Comment on BBC staffers reveal editor's 'entire job' to whitewash Israeli war crimes 2 months ago:
I suspect the issue they’re having, much as I am to a degree, is that a country is literally murdering men, women, and children so it can take their land and possessions and most of the world continues going about its business as if nothing is happening. Scaled vastly down, it’s almost as if a gang was murdering a neighboring family and the family is screaming for help while the other neighbors do their best to ignore it.
I get why people aren’t flocking to Palestine en masse to defend Palestinians, but especially for anyone with friends or family there, it’s all bizarre. It’s a huge, devastating, pressing issue that weighs on their minds all the time and most of the world doesn’t seem to even care.
- Comment on brains! 4 months ago:
It’s really both, neurons communicate electrochemically. Neurons establish a voltage difference across their membrane, typically positive outside, negative inside, by concentrating ions on one side or the other. In a single neuron, the action potential (signal) results in the electric polarity of the cell membrane switching to negative outside, positive inside, with the change in gradient cascading down the length of the axon as ions are allowed to flow across the membrane by voltage-gated ion channels. After depolarization, ions are actively and selectively pumped to either side of the membrane, repolarizing it.
There’s a lot more to it than that but it’s 100% charge dependent. The change in charge is mediated by the flow of ions across a membrane instead of the flow of electrons through a conductor, hence why it’s slower.
