Honestly, I think the difference is how much software is in these things now. Everything is a computer. And software is something that is very cheap to do half-assed, but expensive to do well (and reliably).

TVs are a perfect example of this. The TV of 40 years ago had an analog tuner directly attached to a CRT. It did only one thing, and did it well. Today’s TVs are basically embedded computers with large screens. And the embedded software was probably written by the lowest bidder.

That’s what completed your Bingo card? Congratulations! I am still waiting on “President has a coronary event while on his solid gold shitter”.

OK, so now we know Trump is totally hiding his own diagnosis from the public…

There will be elections. There have to be, in order for the new Congress to be seated.

The only question is how ratfucked they will be…

Why not? There are other Trumps who are eligible. If Junior runs, they don’t even need to change the banners or the hats much. They dont even need to hide it, they can have big “Donald Trump _jr for President” banners still. Dad can go campaigning, and they can make perfectly clear who will make the decisions.

Well, what is it?

Why does he hate the Bronx so much? He gets tickets in the other boroughs that have lots of Democrats… Or does he know how to “fix” these in the Bronx?

(I know why he doesn’t go to Staten Island, they all hate him there)

They will do nothing about this until crypto transfers are banned…

Yes, the system works, but it kinds sucks that it’s based on getting the biggest gorilla on your side, rather than which side is actually in the right.

Maybe I would take a closer look as to where, exactly, Google puts the pin when you tell it to go to a town. If I tell Google Maps I want to walk to the village I am currently living in, it puts the pin in a random spot sort of in the middle of the village. (It happens to be in a parking lot by a bakery, so now I am hungry).

So, you may be measuring it with regard to when you reach the town limits on that road, but Google may be putting the pin in some oddball place, off the road you are biking down.

Your answer might be all those blue squiggly bits in the first picture on the left. That part of Scotland seems to have a lot of hills. I bet the 18.7 miles doesn’t take elevation into account at all, while the 21.1 miles does

(Oh, never mind, that’s the whole route, while the shorter route in the second picture is “mostly flat”. So maybe not.)

Only a matter of time before Trump renames them the Indians by Executive Order

Unless God exercises His Ultimate Veto and cuts his term short.

It’s been a common trick for a long time on the right to equate simple disagreement with censorship, and use that as an excuse to practice actual censorship when they take over.

They do it because it works. Not only does it lead to more direct sales, but the app is scraping data that can be further used to generate sales, either to the user directly or sale of their data to third parties. And people who don’t like their habits being gamified will simply not install the app.

How many people are going to say “I refuse to go to Dunkin because they went too far gamifying their rewards program in their shitty app I never use”? Probably close to zero. So, the cost of doing it is whatever they pay their offshore contractors, who probably can’t afford to come visit the US, much less go to Dunkin for awful coffee every day.

Yeah, that is more incompetence than I am used to. When we get driving bans and other emergency declarations, the local news will put that crawly thing on the bottom of the screen letting us know what’s up. I bet they get complaints when it covers up the score of the game.

I live in an area that gets snow regularly. When we get a storm, there are precisely three things the news can report on:

• When they think it will stop
• Are the roads driveable
• Are there school or business closings

If there is nothing to report in those three topics, then it’s just another slow news day. Just be glad they’re not making TV news reports about trending Social Media topics, that’s what our local news gets into when they run out of Sinclair propaganda (or Bills highlights) to run.

This is because you are not the customer. Your employer is the customer, they are the ones who get to choose the HSA provider for their employees. You are the goods to be sold. The HSA provider is simply harvesting profits.
