It’s made by US Robotics, so it must be a positronic brain.

I think there’s a fine line between collaboration and committee (members of a band can collaborate to make good music). But capitalism definitely works against art.

Fifth Element was at the top of my movies that I would stop and watch when scrolling cable channels alongside Top Secret, Clue, and Shawshank.

You are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:

• 2001: A Space Odyssey
• Planet of the Apes
• The Secret of NIMH
• many John Wayne movies including True Grit

Just like society’s thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.

“Everything excellent is as difficult as it is rare.”

Baruch Spinoza, Ethics (1677)

They might be referring to the Warner Brothers disc rot issue announced earlier this year (affecting some mid 2000s dvds). Ideally, things are made well and last a long time when stored properly.

It’s even worse if they’re using “criminal record” the same way the FBI has historically (arrested but not necessarily convicted on a felony charge).

I don’t have up to date numbers, but c.2016 the FBI considered ~29% of Americans to have a criminal record.

Of course they should. Where else would I get my snilk from?

I don’t hate sales as a concept. I just dislike the sociopaths who tend to work there.

Illinois requires two party consent for recording in-person conversations at least.

Hell, R was being used in colleges in 2000. Unfortunately, whether it was SPSS for the soft sciences or forcing stats work in Matlab for the engineers, professors always seemed bad at promoting the right tool for the job.

Welcome to the secret robot Internet

And water

I substituted the flour with applesauce and this tastes terrible. 1/5 stars.

We’re all secretly longing for the macbook wheel that was leaked over 15 years ago:

For me, the crazy takeaway of the article was just how high the acceptable level of lead is for toothpaste (the current FDA limit is 20,000ppb for fluoridated toothpaste).

If you’re in a union already, that is not something that can generally be asked about by management, both at hiring or during your employment. Being in a union is not the same as being in a unionized workplace.

When employees of a store/factory/etc decide to unionize, there’s a point at which a specific larger union can be chosen to represent them (AFL-CIO, IBEW, Teamsters, etc). If successful, this is what allows for collective bargaining led by a union representative.

If this offends your sensibilities then I can’t wait until you look at what someone did to C:
