Not just that. I think CNN and the Post, and to a lesser extent the NYT, have gone to unreasonable lengths to appear balanced that they’ve alienated the one public constituency that they had influence over. Conservatives never cared what they thought, except as a cudgel, now liberals don’t

The funnier part is when it’s pointed out that the D number is basically the same as independents, he thinks it’s all ‘uncommitted’ types

The Taco Bell Y2K nostalgia commercial makes me feel ancient. I’d rather see the survivalist food dude that’s explaining how QR codes work. That makes me feel young and spry

This is ridiculous behavior by Apple. There’s no real time location data and all the videos it consolidates exist in other places.

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

That was kind of what I was getting at with the Frank Zappa reference AFAIK, his song coined the term

I think you can do a similar exercise with what people mean by “the City” and will get a similarly geographically biased response set

You have to replace EV tires more frequently because of the weight. Sadly, I can’t rotate my tires because of the mismatched front and rear sizes

I’m on year 3 of my i4 and the only maintenance I’ve had to do is replace tires and brake pads. Bringing my car for its annual checkup leads to nothing.

I feel like I live in some sort of weird dream world, a BMW with low maintenance costs

The new plaque psoriasis treatments are biologics and are huge margins. Apparently they are also far more effective than previous treatments. Plus, there are a lot more people with psoriasis than you would think

I fucking love it. I get so mad when cons critique basic research based on superficial descriptions or say that private sector will pick up the slack on primary research. GLP-1 research was basically 20 years until any drugs and 30 until semiglutide. You have to fuck up a lot for useful shit
