I've never had a 9-to-5 that was actually 9 to 5. It always starts at 7:30 or 8.

Yeah, I saw that $30k for a car and immediately dismissed everything this person said. I've never in my life paid more than $8k for a vehicle.

How would you even do that? Marketing is tied up into every single purchasing decision we make. The colors and fonts on the packaging; the perceived value or luxury of the store you're buying it from; the placement of the products within that store; the price of the product itself. All of these signal things about the perceived value of the product and influence what people purchase.

I've had three different co-workers hounding me about how great it is. One guy showed me how he had it write an email for him. It took him longer to enter the prompt than it would've taken to just write the email himself.

The show is a very loose sequel to the 1992 Kristy Swanson film of the same name. It's not critical to watch by any means, and plenty of details are ret-conned, but the first couple episodes of the show do make passing references to the film.

The film has a very different tone than the show, but it's got a stellar cast and I've always thought it was a lot of fun.

I realize someone already answered you, but just to further clarify: astrology was a common literary theme during the English Renaissance. Probably the most famous example modern audiences would be familiar with would be Romeo and Juliet, the "star-crossed lovers."

Stars signify destiny and birthright, so if the young lovers' stars are crossed, they're not in alignment and their union is doomed to a tragic ending. If one of them could've "changed their stars," Romeo and Juliet might've had a happy ending.

Hochul is getting primaried by a more progressive candidate, and NYC has always been relatively weak for her because she's from Buffalo. This isn't actually about the mayoral race; she's begging the city to keep her in the governor's mansion.

Back in 2016,my BIL told me, "I could be as rich as Trump, I just don't want to work that hard."

...Still lived with his parents at 40.

At least in America, racism is so prevalent and core to our society that I'd never attribute racism in small children solely to bad parenting. Racism and misogyny are driven in part by exposure to... well, just about every part of American culture. Parents can try to course-correct, but (especially white) parents may not have the tools or language to adequately educate their children in the face of cultural indoctrination.

Absolutely this. The American Cancer Association advises it is best not to drink alcohol. Alcohol use accounts for 5% of all cancers in the US.

So it's a known carcinogen that also impairs judgements and motor functions, causes brain damage, and is habit forming. Just because it's been socialized to be acceptable doesn't mean it's not deadly.

Hahaha. So many people outside of logistics have no idea how logistics works.

I can only speak for the US, but I am confident that anyone who gets into trucking now will be able to retire from trucking when they hit 65. (Assuming we're not all already dead from war or climate collapse.)

Big LTL companies like UPS or FedEx will probably be able to automate standard pallet hub-to-hub shipments. Per this article, final mile delivery for small parcels can probably be automated. So that just leaves... most freight?

Smaller shippers and receivers, including regional carriers or smaller manufacturers, are still running their logistics like it's 1970. They don't have the capital or any real incentive to modernize to a standard that would be needed for fully automated logistics. There would need to be funded government mandates and extensive infrastructure work across the country.

Who keeps greenlighting this guy? He had a couple of good seasons of Doctor Who, maybe one and a half of Sherlock, but it's otherwise all been pretty insufferable.
