Yeah, the huge trucks and suburbans are pretty insane. I'm American and drive a small-ish SUV (2023 RAV4 Hybrid) and we fill the extra cargo space (and passenger seats) all the time. Groceries can do it (not all the time though), especially if making one of our (infrequent) runs to Costco to restock on stuff that's a lot cheaper/more useful to buy in bulk. The other day I used the cargo space to transport a large (6 ft/1.8m) folding table and 8 folding chairs for my son's birthday party. And speaking of kids: car seats, strollers, diaper bags, etc. need a fair bit of room.

You only need 1 tab to OOM if that tab is Jira. I've literally had tabs take up more than 10GB.

Do you think Matt brain would blue screen if I told him I took my wife's last name?

No, there are many different kinds of stocks with different terms. Stocks are an asset with value, regardless of whether or not dividends are paid out. It's very commonly the case for shares to be issued with no dividends paid because profits are reinvested back into the company with the goal of increasing the share price for some future massive liquidation event (like an acquisition).

Shares also represent ownership in a company and thus their value is also in the leverage it can give potentially give you in said company.

In my neighborhood, I've seen some houses take down their Trump signs. Dunno if it means anything, but I don't think I had ever seen that before.

At minimum you need to limit the request size to avoid DOS attacks and such. But obviously that would be a much larger limit than anyone would use for a password.

Wait so the couch fucking thing was bullshit? It's just so... specific. Talk about an impressive shitpost.

Glad you got fired. Vaccines should always be mandatory save for legitimate, doctor-validated medical exemptions.

Anti-vaxxers are fucking stupid and should either be educated properly or, if they still refuse to do their civic duty after being de-programmed of misinformation, punished. You are only allowed to participate in society if you take the necessary steps that you are morally and ethically obligated to do in order to protect it from preventable, transmissible disease. We had eradicated polio until stupid motherfuckers like yourself decided that it would be a good idea to forgo the standard polio vaccine schedule that we've had for decades. Now, we saw the first case in 30 years in 2022 because someone selfishly thought that their personal beliefs were more important than the health and livelihood of everyone else.

As someone that has recently taken an infant and and family CPR class for my son who started solid foods a few months ago, this is pretty similar to how they teach it today and I'm pretty sure it would have the same effect. You can't perform a heimlich on a baby or very small child for a variety of reasons. This method or something similar to it is both safer and more effective, since it lets gravity help dislodge the food.

From what I recall, particularly the younger generations that exclusively use mobile devices (though of course this is not limited to them) actually have terrible tech literacy across the board, primarily related to spending all of their time in apps that basically spoon-feed functionality in a closed ecosystem. In particular, these groups are particularly vulnerable to very basic scams and phishing attacks.

I just found out about this debate and it's patently absurd. The ISO 80000-2 standard defines ℕ as including 0 and it's foundational in basically all of mathematics and computer science. Excluding 0 is a fringe position and shouldn't be taken seriously.

For an adult? Nah. You can certainly kindly let them know that this isn't really gonna work and explain why (and let them know you appreciate the effort), but the rest of it is way overkill and could easily be seen as patronizing, imo. They're an adult, not a 13 year old.

Also, I interpreted the OP as finding it humorously absurd (which it is) rather than being frustrated or anything.
