I'm 100% against self checkout.

They've put the burden of sale on you instead of themselves. If you fail to check something out accidentally, you are liable for theft.

If they don't have a cashier, I go to customer service and tell them to ring me up even if it's one item.

You know, you are right.

I should instead support the guy who is going to nuke Palestine. Right? Completely eradicate them?

Who has sworn to put America first no matter the cost? Even if it means a nuclear winter? The guy who wants to suck Putin's cock so bad that he sent him one of those kits so that he could get a mold made so that he can practice?

The only note I have is I wish he had said Trump resorted to "high crimes, many of which are federal felonies".

Because, even for Nazis, it's the inside that counts.

Nazism will even cover up for the sin of you not being white.

Let me ask the obvious question: how easy were the cards to duplicate?

Because all it takes is just send them to everyone that lives in the precinct.

They did a blog post about how the feds had made a second attempt to get metadata from them and they could only provide two fields of information: the date the account was created and the last time it connected to the service.

It's in the public record as well if I'm not mistaken.

As someone who has never seen the show, and someone who is too lazy to look it up...was the show real?

Like real real? Not "WWE WrestleMania" real?

I know that reality shows aren't fully real but they are real adjacent.

In the world of Site Reliability Engineering, it's better to fail than to be inconsistent.

So I suggest the opposite here. Start out by resolving the site 75% of the time. Then down to 20%, then 100%. Randomly make it not work with no predictably.

The great thing is if he uses his phone on a cellular network, he can't be sure whether it's because the site is working or because something hinky is going on in his network.

The problem is that Time and every other news outlet think they are the cats pajamas and deserve your subscription. They suffer a similar problem to streaming platforms except news is not exclusive.

If these companies could organize and build a "pay once, get access to everything everywhere" model, they would see subscriptions go through the roof and get more money. But since the owners of these news outlets want only their own subscribers to go up, it's never going to happen.

I'm not going to pay for 5-10 news subscriptions no matter how great the reporting is.

But I'd be willing to pay $20 or so a month if that meant I can access any article on any news website.

We are entering perhaps the most important election in history. I know that's said at every election but this time, this could very well be the last free election we have.

A vote against Biden, regardless of how it's done, is a vote for fascism. Plain and simple. It's no longer theoretical or fantasy. Or exaggeration or whatever the right is trying to paint this as.

Biden won in 2020 because it was a vote against Trump. Not because Biden was a good candidate. It just was not as terrible as Trump.

We are entering an election where Trump is promising to punish his enemies. This rhetoric is dangerous to our democracy and nation. The fact that we are debating this is by itself scary.

Trump WILL bring authoritarianism to our country. He will install himself as king and our country will be a democracy in name only. Hell it wouldn't surprise me if the fascist regime goes on to rename our country "The Democratic Republic of the ~~Gilliad~~ United States" just to keep up appearances.

Anyone who wants our country to be free must vote Biden in November. Is he contributing to genecide? Yes. Is he doing enough for climate change? Of course note. Is he tackling minimum wage? Nope.

But at least he's willing to listen to you. We might even be able to change his mind after he is in his second term.

You will get none of those things if Trump wins.

Why does it need to sync with your phone?

What's the goal of connecting it?

As others have mentioned, I'd look for alarm clocks for deaf people. Many are in the $20 range but don't do Bluetooth.
