  • How to neutralize chemical weapons

    Jump

  • I wonder if just carrying the cone upside down with a water balloon already inside and then dumping it overtop would work.

    I think they tend to get hot so would probably pop water balloon quickly to smother with the water.

  • I started to organize my garage today.

    Jump

  • Get yourself a workbench with a shelf below to store your firewood. Then you will have a work top to do stuff on rather than just a pile of wood

  • James Giovansanti, a police officer on Staten Island, has amassed more than 500 speeding and red light violations since 2022.

    Jump

  • I've no idea how true it is but I've read that vehicle speedometers aren't 100% accurate, so one vehicle going a displayed 30mph might be going the same speed as another vehicle displayed at 35mph.

    There's probably some leeway built into the system to cover inaccuracies like that, as well as in the cameras own speed detection ability

    I've definitely went by those speed display signs that say slow down and show your speed and they've been wrong quite often by upwards of 5-10mph.

  • Football fans have been outraged to discover that getting to some World Cup stadiums via public transit will cost $80

  • Unfortunately stuff like this is why some people don't vote for Democrats.

    A lot of them don't know what a metaphor is so regular talk like this makes them feel stupid.

  • New speed cameras in California city issue 82,000 tickets in a month after grace period ends

    Jump

  • True, cars should have speed limiters built in at the manufacturer. No car needs to go over 100-120km/h depending on the highway. In the city 50-80km/h should be the max.

  • I find this shocking. 60% of Canadians say they feel forced to own a car

    Jump

  • I'm mostly forced to by my job but also where I live.

    My job requires lots of travel as well as moving stuff around the province. One day I might need to drive 8 hours to a city and carry with me 4-5 bins of stuff and a bag of equipment. Not terribly feasible with a bus, especially if I need to leave at 4-5am to get there before 3-4pm.

    But even without my job I live just outside city limits so there's no bus service. I suppose I could bike the 5kms to the nearest bus stop and then hop on there but that's just too much of a pain in the arse when I need to get 1-2 weeks worth of groceries.

  • Majority of Android users aren't sold on Gemini Intelligence, survey reveals

    Jump

  • But AI could totally tell you the top rated lawn mowers in stock in your area based on fake bought and paid for reviews to optimize your efficiency at mowing your lawn and increasing the capitalist profit margins of local stores that pay Google for increased foot traffic to their stores.

  • What profession do y'all hate with deepest of passion

  • I feel like any lawyer should only be able to bill half their rate if they lose the case

  • I wonder at what point government will tax AI use by companies similarly to payroll taxes and incomes taxes.

    If they pay an AI company $150,000 a month to replace $50,000 in salaries, the government then loses all that income tax from the previous employees as well as the payroll tax on $600k a year.

  • Damn..

    Jump

  • The Ford 350 I recently rented was $297 to fill up 3/4 of a tank.

  • Damn..

    Jump

  • I drove a rental truck for work. It cost $297 to fill up before handing it back. It was still on 1/4 tank.

  • Vibe management

    Jump

  • At least with human labour companies have control. They withhold raises and bat down wages and the people tend to have to take it.

    With AI you get suckered in and all of a sudden have a subscription or something similar. Then next year the costs go up. You've already tailored your workflow to use AI, you can't just not pay the higher bill. Next year, costs go up again. What are you going to do? Not pay your bill and lose your entire workforce all at once? Now the company is being held hostage by the AI companies.

  • Our backyard turned into a swamp after septic system started failing, what are the warning signs most people miss?

    Jump

  • I don't know of a way to clean/maintain a drain field.

    From what I understand the tank captures the solids and the liquids rise to the top after everything settles and goes through a series of small tubes to drain into a field and be filtered through the soil.

    Then the tanks gets cleaned every 2-3 years to remove the built up solids.

    Usually the series of tubes in the deain field are all underground and inaccessible so I don't think there is a way to clean or maintain them.

    When we had our house inspected the plumber couldn't even locate the drain field. Just told us it switched in this part of the yard or that part of the yard.

  • Single player, open world, fantasy, RPG games

    Jump

  • Currently playing Windrose which is early access, ticks most of those boxes except for the alive world. There are communities you can go to for quests but most NPCs you can't interact with.

    It's also a survival craft so you build your base.

    It's a fantasy pirate setting rather than old knights and wizards setting.

    Character creation is somewhat limited but you can tailor it to be more ranged/agile or beefy/heavy hitter etc.

    Still early access though so could be improved

  • People are addicted to it and see the aspartame water with no sugar and no calories and feel they can drink as much as they want guilt free.

  • Meta's $10 billion Louisiana data center is getting $3.3 billion in tax breaks—more than seven years of the state's entire police budget

    Jump

  • Why? Is it creating construction jobs? Doubt the entire salaries of everyone building it will total anywhere near that amount.

    Jobs after? What, like a dozen security guards and a couple IT people? Those things practically run themselves from what I understand.

    Just pay that money directly to the construction workers and scrap the data centre.

  • Very normal and safe

    Jump

  • True, I did forget that it might have been useful for me in one very specific instance where there was a comments section in one of our excel forms and I wanted to summarize the most common words mentioned in those comments. Couldn't figure out how at the time but this could potentially have figured it out. Not sure I would trust the accuracy of it's result though
