  • This edit as a response is just unreasonably funny. Hands free and everything, perfection.

  • Tbh I don't even mind cameras that much if they were entirely controlled by the individuals themselves. I have a much bigger issue with it when you're streaming my facial recognition data to Evil Megacorp 2™ servers that also feed directly to the "Not Spying.. Again" agency, though.

  • Eh, I really didn't want to be specific because it's unfortunately both exceedingly nerdy and somewhat controversial (not that it should be imo but it is), but, you a Fallout: New Vegas fan by chance?

    Let's just say I can now patrol the Mojave and not worry so much about the cazadores, (but I'd still almost wish for nuclear winter, of course.)

  • I mean yeah if you're literally the only guy in the entire world making it (I'm not joking, literally the only one. Some others make the same class of thing that would physically fit, but in the wrong style and lord knows why but it was a deliberate, and bad, decision) then you can charge whatever you want. Dude doesn't even have it patented or anything, the designs are public (since like the 60s) and if I had any woodworking XP I could sell the exact same thing legally. 'Course, I've never worked wood in my damn life, so..

    Still, $465 is a lot for these items.

  • 3k is obviously an exaggeration but goddamn why is woodwork so expensive?! I needed wooden set of some things that are normally made of plastic for about $100, the wood was $465 and literally only one guy on earth makes it. Fuck me!

  • Sheeeit not recently, shot up to $120/oz recently, and it's back down to ~$80/oz right now, but that's still more than ~$35/oz last year. Not that gold didn't also follow that trajectory or anything, it's still more, but GODDAMN.

  • The Only Solution Capitalism Has Is to Sell Us More Useless Junk: Ad makers will never say the quiet part loud, but they increasingly know that we're unhappy and looking for solutions.

  • Tbf they could try and sell useful things for a change, that might shake things up a bit.

    Though I will say, the pockets on Levi's are sufficiently deep (to completely ignore the metaphor), not JNCO deep, but I can carry my various mesh radios, phones, flipper zeros, pens, coins, eyedrops, knives, flashlights, airpods, wallets, and mace all at the same time. Just about the only things they don't fit are spray cans and guns, but that's why JNCOs existed (the cans) and why holsters exist. Others are good too, but then still others are not, it's literally the first thing I check on a new-to-me brand of jeans.

  • But car brains only get mad at cyclists for it.

    I'm going to assume that you're so blinded by your prejudice against "carbrains" that you haven't seen all the posts bemoaning speeding, passing in the wrong lane, riding people's bumpers, "when a car swerves around you at mach 3 just to get stuck at the same light" to paraphrase a meme I saw on lemmy like last week, etc, and it's everywhere not just lemmy.

    You are probably just such a bikebrained chaincel that you haven't noticed it, but it's there.

  • Do stink bugs smell like BO?

    Though when I do, I do smell it, and I shower regularly, and it only comes up when talking about stinkbugs, so I'm doubting your hypothesis regardless.

  • Genes be crazy

    Jump

  • Idk if scooping them up and putting them outside is scary to them, but I'm told people can smell them just from being in the same room with them, or crushing them, and I've done (or been near) all of the above yet never smelled one. And they're constantly sneaking in my house so I should have by now I think.

  • I have one like this, she's having fun. It's to the point where I don't even kill roaches anymore, I just wish them luck and find their corpse in the morning. One time she ripped the tail off a skink, but he got away and hid for like 3 days until I found him and let him outside lol.

  • UPDATE: Kitty was rescued and is safe! This poor cat has been stuck for 5 days, and Xcel Energy is refusing to turn off electricity so the cat can be rescued

    Jump

  • “For the safety of both the animal and our crews, Xcel Energy is not able to respond to remove animals from power poles or other electrical equipment. When animals are frightened, rescues can unfortunately lead to injury to the animal or to the people attempting to help. Additionally, our equipment carries a risk of electrical contact, even when it may not appear energized. Because of these safety risks, we cannot shut off power for rescue attempts,” Xcel said on social media.

    Translation: "Cat might scratch our dude, or we might get sued if we accidentally hurt it during rescue. Additionally, though we 100% have to have the ability to shut down that strip for maintenance, if we totally didn't do that and went up there anyway it would be dangerous which is why we do shut it off during maintenance. Because of the safety risks involved with literally breaking maintenance protocol which is 100% optional, we could just shut it down like we do for maintenance for ten fucking minutes and grab the cat with a cherry picker, but fuck your cat."

  • Well lucky you tbh, they're insecure (it's basically a password that can never be changed and can legally be compelled by the feds unlike an in-brain password), could in theory be used quite literally to fingerprint you, and can't be used with gloves or dirty hands or even sometimes sweat.
