  • Enterprise is straight garbage right now.

    On a work trip to Georgia, they gave me a car with a nice big gash on the front passenger sidewall. I didn’t see it when I picked it up as it was at night and the airport garage was dark and I only noticed it the next day coming out of the factory, after driving all the way from ATL to Suwanee. (~45mi/70km) I wasn’t going to risk a trip back to the airport, so I spent 2-3 hours calling around to try to exchange it at a closer store; a lot of it being on hold and getting hung up on. None of them had any inventory (most were pick-up only) and no one even seemed concerned at all when I told them about the gash.

    Eventually I got tired and annoyed of the BS and went to the closest store and told them to just take the car back as I got a rental elsewhere. (Hertz had a full inventory, right across the street and the service was huge amount more personable and friendly.)

    Oi, and here’s the gash.





  • I think it’s more the news article that’s upselling it and with it being “groundbreaking”, it is likely only at the initial stages.

    Mice are usually the first phase are they do have a similar immune response (systemically), have a fast metabolism and quick to mature. They’re also clones, which helps eliminate external factors that could contribute to what they’re studying. More or less, mice are just a quicker litmus test to just show that something is possible and if it warrants a study on a closer analogue.


  • For me, it more boils down to keeping my place within a web page or ever-updating feed.

    For instance… If I’m going down a rabbit hole, I could have 4 root tabs open. Those tabs may have lengthy articles and would reference secondary sites throughout the page. Rather then having a good chance of the browser losing my place down the page by clicking on a link normally, I open it in a new tab. This allows me to switch to it, skim down to where it was referenced to understand that part of it, then switch back to the root tab while leaving the secondary tab open to fully read through when I finish with the root one. As the rabbit hole deepens, those secondary tabs may eventually become root tabs which may also reference their own secondary sites or even each other. The number of tabs just keeps growing until I either run out of those secondary tabs or I am just satisfied with the amount of info I gained. This can also happen over several days or weeks and have other rabbit holes open at the same time.




  • TL;DR: Italy finally adds a classification to a type of hate crime and defines certain circumstances required in order to help reduce/remove frivolous arguments and appeals from the defense.

    AFAIU, it isn’t a blanket law and requires a specific intent to kill a woman based on her sex. It just so happens that it’s more common within relationships than out and not all deaths would fit into the definition.

    There are many other hate crimes. This is just defining one of the many that are unfortunately needed, as it is and has been a prevalent issue within their country.
