Except that reactions count as upvotes, so I don't think it'd actually be a good way to express disapproval without downvoting.

Back of the envelope it is!

It's anti-consumer as hell, but is it really enough to keep servicing only to dealerships? Seems like someone can machine a tool head for this in like two seconds, it's just two prongs. What's stopping a manufacturer from selling tools for it and individuals/mechanics from buying the tool? Can they patent the tool and not sell it to anyone?

My previous cat was absolutely terrified of the outdoors. She liked looking out of windows, but I walked her 5 feet out the front door once, holding her the entire time. Afterwards, she'd watch that door on alert while sitting with me on the couch rather than nap like she used to. Did that for a month or two at least, maybe longer.

Anecdotal, but sometimes cats and outdoors don't mix. It's never a necessity.

The rescue I use makes you sign a contract saying that the cats you adopt will be strictly indoor cats. It's better for them, too, not just for the environment.

Anywhere from 5 to 7 bananas. Or about 0.01296 football fields.

Hey now, fusion will be ready around the same time AGI is achieved, so it is a brilliant investment to tie the two together.

Oh no! Who's going to tell their subscriber?

You forgot a few.

Iron Man: Plot revolves around a man who is clearly made of flesh having his fleshy, non-iron, body break down on him.

Wizard of Oz: Despite there being multiple witches, there are, in fact, no wizards at all in the movie.

Titanic: The ship is clearly established as being unsinkable early in the movie. However, later in the movie, it sinks.

They're all pretty good movies despite the blatant plot holes.

Lmao, that situation is not unique in the slightest. It's basically universal. Everyone, including those with employer sponsored plans, go through that same thing. Though, people in more populated areas will have an easier time finding a new doctor since there are just more doctors in the area. Still, drs generally have packed schedules because they're all owned by private equity and major corps that push them to fill every second of their day with billable time and to squeeze as many patients as possible into tiny insufficient time slots.

One of the things I hate is that everyone is also pushed to require bullshit appointments just so they can bill you extra. Want your doctor to keep writing you your low-risk but much needed prescription? That's gonna require quarterly check-ups (i.e. 5 minute phone calls that you are billed $200 for). Oh, you don't like that? Good luck finding a doctor that won't require it (you won't).

Everyone in the US has to deal with an open enrollment period and can only change their insurance during a few weeks of open enrollment or after a short list of qualifying life events.

Oh, the monetary cost of a functional healthcare system isn't the part they can't afford.

The question you should be asking is does the audience have enough faith in some random commenter's intelligence.

 

ABC claims Kimmel was canceled over comments he made about Kirk. The evidence says otherwise.

Starts at 2 minutes. This is the monologue referenced by the Deadline article on his cancelation.

Here's another that may or may not be related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHT7ICvMtlA

 

PieFed allows you to specity CSS in your settings so you can make it look however you like. What CSS do you use to improve your experience?

I whipped up some today to make the PWA better (for me) on mobile. It moves the post and comment action buttons to the right side, where your hand is (sorry lefties), puts the title below the preview for image/video posts, and makes previews full-width on mobile. Pretty minor, but it makes a big impact to me.

.post_utilities_bar .pull-right,  
.comment_actions .pull-right {  
  margin: 0;  
}  

.post_utilities_bar .voting_buttons_new,  
.comment_actions .voting_buttons_new {  
  order: -1;  
}  

.post_utilities_bar,  
.comment .comment_actions  {  
  justify-content: right !important;  
  flex-direction: row-reverse;  
}  

@media only screen and (max-width:990px) {  
  .post_teaser_image_preview,  
  .post_teaser_video_preview {  
    position: relative;  
    right: 13px;  
    width: 100vw;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_image_preview a,  
  .post_teaser_video_preview div {  
    border: none;  
    border-radius: 0;  
    max-width: 100vw;  
    max-height: 100vh;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_video_preview p {  
    margin-bottom: 0;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_body:has(.post_teaser_image_preview, .post_teaser_video_preview) {  
    display: flex;  
    flex-direction: column;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_body .post_teaser_image_preview,  
  .post_teaser_body .post_teaser_video_preview {  
    order: -1;  
  }  
}

Sidenote, I think the css feature might be doing some xml encoding or something because > doesn't seem to work in selectors. I didn't mess around enough to prove that definitively.
