That's honestly why they creep me out the most. Spiders will generally be chilling out in a corner somewhere you expect to see them, doing their own thing, and not moving much unless directly disturbed.

Most of my experiences with centipedes involves them darting out from under a baseboard at night and scaring the shit out of me when I'm only half awake. Then by the time I realize what it was, it's already scrambled across the floor to disappear under some other piece of furniture.

It's bit reductive to put it in terms of a binary choice between an average human driver and full AI driver. I'd argue it has to hit less pedestrians than a human driver with the full suite of driver assists currently available to be viable.

Self-driving is purely a convenience factor for personal vehicles and purely an economic factor for taxis and other commercial use. If a human driver assisted by all of the sensing and AI tools available is the safest option, that should be the de facto standard.

‘big tech rigged the election’

Isn’t Vance fully in bed with Musk, Thiel, Andreessen, and a cavalcade of similarly minded fash-brained techbros?

That's the G and the P in GOP. They are literally trying to rig the election with the help of a bunch of billionaire tech bros, but it's totally okay because "Democrats did it first"

And since the last election was over 1,000 news cycles ago, nobody will question whether that's actually what happened.

I had to google what "387th Penny" meant. Apparently "penny" is short for "penetration flight". So this was his 387th flight into a hurricane

It literally sounds like a DDoS!

Not discounting your mild infuriation, but I am 100% certain that if they switched to being individually wrapped tomorrow, a complaint about excessive packaging would be one of the top posts here.

I'm not sure about Germany, but these have been sold in the US for decades now, and have always been 2 bars per wrapper as long as I can remember.

I have this exact puzzle!

The small differences actually make it fun to put together, and my spouse and I both enjoyed it!.

7/10 10/10 with rice

The theory I've heard is that people on reality TV shows would do this so the mics could pick up their conversations better. So naturally, ~~brainless idiots without an original thought in their dense godforsaken skulls~~ people who watch those shows started doing it in real life too because they saw popular people doing it on TV.

It's just a theory, but it seems plausible because it's clearly not how phones were designed to function on speakerphone or otherwise.

Because it's a little TOO easy.

Your body and brain know you didn't put any effort into it, not because you were in a rush, but just because you couldn't be arsed to. So it punishes you by making you hyper aware that you're consuming the uncanny valley of food. It's not NOT food, but it's not FOOD.

To be clear, I'm just using "you" generically. Absolutely no judgement here lol

Hear me out for a second...

Maybe, just maybe, it's spending 3 hours in stop and go traffic that's the problem, not the transmission.

If LEGO and soda cans, which are very low cost, can do this, so can we.

This man is a certifiable idiot, and I feel bad for anyone working for him.

I feel like there is context missing here. The situation is just way too specific...
