I’m even more ootl. What happened?

Such is the price of greatness.

You kept at this way longer and put far more energy into it than it was probably worth. Imagine if instead of bitching about bag bans to anyone online we just, like, looked up from our phone and paid a tiny bit of attention to bringing a bag to the store. Then we wouldn’t have to spend all this time justifying our lack of care.

I appreciate the examples you gave and I hope someone benefits from them. The simple fact is that the person you’ve been going back and forth with will not.

Is this the prequel to Cocaine Bear?

“Take my [family], please”

…a semi-autonomous vehicle surveying a dead landscape?

Good question. I was just reading the article about it on The Verge, which mentions:

On the back, you’ll find a 50MP main camera and a 13MP ultrawide camera, while the front has a 32MP hole-punch camera for selfies and video calls. That’s a significant step down from the Fairphone 5, which used 50MP sensors on all three of its cameras.

No mention of camera quality, though, as it’s basically a press release post and not a hands-on or review. I wish this would be available in the US for a fair price.

…so everything is going according to “their” plan.

They were charging a flat rate ($240/year) for households to buy a sticker to dispose of as much waste as they wanted. The town was losing money and was concerned about doubling the annual price, as it would disproportionately affect low-income and smaller households, so they started charging $65/year plus per-bag of trash. This lead to a decrease in the amount of trash being discarded so that their municipal refuse program is now breaking even instead of losing something like $65k/year, and it costs smaller households significantly less than if they had doubled the all-you-can-discard sticker.

That’s my summary, but the full article is a quick read and contains some interesting details.

It feels like something needs to be in that chicken cavity. A smaller melon? Maybe a durian to escalate it from a food crime into a food hate crime?

It’s called “being hardcore”

One day, the “SLAMS” in the headline is going to refer to an actual bodyslam.

Tl;dr: buckle up, buttercup

Yes, but only in Europe, and no Americans are allowed. 😕

I suppose that is about where the bar is for these guys

It’s probably more efficient to ship them pre-burnt.

And so, WALL-ST-E, was born
