CEC has little to do with this; it’s an app that’s installed not a button on the remote. The search button referenced can use copilot but it’s not necessary (ie you can use the default webOS search) nor is the button copilot branded.

CEC is awesome, it just doesn’t address the issue raised by putting copilot/other AI apps on the smart TV itself. For that you just disable the internet connection.

Can’t help but think of STALKER when someone says “snorkin’ it”

My friend’s dad just built a new house and he’s got some resistant Chestnut trees he got from Cornell planted around his place. Really excited to see them grow.

That’d be the first half and the second half.

The funny parts don’t need to be there in a comedy?

Edge is already installed for the half dozen times a year I need to specifically use a chromium-based browser.

I see no reason to use chrome over edge. I’m a Firefox guy these days, but if I have to use a chromium browser, I’m using edge.

I don’t know what else to tell you, the airlines tell you specifically not to check those items.

I fly monthly for work and I don’t check anything that isn’t replaceable, so basically just clothes and shoes. There is zero chance I would ever check my camera rig. If I did lose my bag, I can tell the airline exactly where it is from the tracking tag, and they can easily contact me because my contact info is found multiple places on and in the luggage.

This luggage is abandoned. The airline could not find the owner.

The airlines specifically tell you not to check valuables like that. While I agree yes, they should be held liable and try to see out the owners of lost luggage… what happens when they can’t? Trash or thrift resale, you pick. Personally I’m going with the latter.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think this has so much to do with thickness as it does hardness. Like how you can smash automotive glass extremely easily with a tiny chunk of ceramic from a spark plug.

So you think these items should just be thrown out if nobody claims them?

This has gotta be some clinical lab test, right? Can’t remember which stool sample had a stick with grooves.

IMO - drop g fuel to second to last and put celcius in its former place

There’s 5-MeO-DMT in them there toads, as well.

The scenario is not imaginary. His analogy sucks. The rest of the article isn’t anything remarkable either. Wow, the current digital media landscape is addictive, and addictive things are bad. Can you believe an industry would monetize addictive things? What an incredible observation, never heard that one before.

No, I’m not trolling. Why would I believe this person to know what they’re talking about in a subject I don’t understand well, when I know they’re wrong about a subject I do understand well?

I’ve heard the name before but I’m not super tuned into this area. The analogy just really struck out for me in the first two paragraphs, monumentally so. If he writes with this amount of conviction about something he clearly has no idea about, I’m not likely to trust anything else that he writes in the same article. It’s important to know your limitations.

I read the first paragraph of this article and I already think it sucks. If heroin was fully legalized, zero restrictions, we’d be much better off than the current situation we have right now with the war on drugs, fentanyl analogs, and xylazine. Full stop.

Second paragraph:

Heroin distribution and sales would quickly become a huge, multibillion-dollar industry. They would become a significant part of GDP, even though heroin harms and often kills those who consume it. Given the increasingly naked corruption of U.S. politics, the heroin industry would be able to purchase massive political influence, enough to block any attempts to limit the harm it does — the harm it knows it does, because heroin industry executives would surely be aware of the damage their products inflict.

This is already happening. Who is this author and why is he so ignorant of the past few decades of opiate problems in the US? There is not a significant fundamental difference between heroin and any other opiate/opioid. I say this as someone who has experimented with many types of them.

Based on this I’m not gonna read the rest of the article because he’s already demonstrated a head-up-ass perspective.

All seasons are best called rain and cold tires. They are absolutely not “no seasons” and are appropriate in 3 or 4 seasons depending on where you live.

I’ve lived in upstate NY and driven FWD cars with all seasons plenty of times, even in deep accumulation. This was my first time with this car, which happens to have wider tire compared to my old cars, and those plus an off camber turn was the recipe for understeering into a ditch. I was driving at a significantly reduced speed and my car was completely fine after being pulled out.

“You get what you deserve” well, fuck you, too.

You won’t, because you fundamentally misunderstand what’s happening.
