Or just use your aging sponges in a rotating lifecycle. I have 4 stages/sponges at one time that slowly get demoted as they age.

1. New sponge only gets light jobs. Scrapped clean dishes, pans that just need the oil washed off.

2. Middle stage wear is used for stuck on foods and generally more gross dishes.

3. Not usable for dishes, but good for counter/stove tops.

4. Dirty jobs. Nothing food related. Floors, bathrooms, use with disinfectants.

We all know that the vision pro is a porn machine masquerading as a innovative product. That goes for all VR. The first youtuber to give headset reviews centered around their ability to immerse people into porn is going to be the first channel I didn’t accidentally subscribe to.

I’ll listen to the podcast because I’m sure there’s info in it that will be new to me, but I do know drug scheduling creates a purgatory that makes substances difficult to research. When the scheduling means that it can’t be produced in amounts to create meaningful clinical studies, the “drugs with no currently accepted medical use” definition is difficult to get out of.

To add on to that, if John Hopkins research labs, the same one that came up with CPR, water purification, and genetic engineering, thinks psilocybin has medical use and merit, I believe them.

I guess it depends on what view and what app your using, but on my phone with a small thumbnail in list view it looks like a butthole.

Basically every time a psilocybin study is conducted for use in mental health applications it’s found to be beneficial. It’s just that the DEA doesn’t give a fuck and refuse to change the schedule of the drug even with countless studies showing it’s effectiveness, as well as countless doctors, researchers, and institutes recommending they reduce psilocybin to schedule III.

Also, we all know what they were doing with that thumbnail.

It took billions of years to make pacman and 14 years to make pacman 2. They should be able able to make GTA 6 in a week. GTA 7 should come out before Christmas.

Put a hard hat on a star-nosed mole instead.. It may not be as useful as a robot, but it will look like it knows what it’s doing.

Luxury car makers will have a harder time justifying a high price tag when an electric Kia will match their 0-60.

Mark my words, cars will be the next common planned obselesence product. As soon as the battery doesn’t take a charge people will junk it and buy another just like the phone market.

Mobile has extensions too. Ublock on Firefox mobile is a god send.

Fact: military officers sometimes use very small amounts of dihydrogen monoxide to torture prisoners to extent that the prisoners will admit to committing actions they had not committed.

Just a couple days ago it continually told me it was possible to re-tile part of my shower that is broken without cutting tiles, but none of the math added up. (18.5H x 21.5w area) “Place a 9” tile vertically. Place another 9“ tile vertically on top on the same side. Place another 9" tile on top vertically to cover the remainder of the area."

I told chatgpt it was wrong, which it admitted, and spit out another wrong answer. I tried specifying a few more times before I started a new chat and dumbed it down to just a simple math algorithm problem. The first part of the chat said it was possible, layed out the steps, and then said it wasn’t possible in the last sentence.

I surely wouldn’t trust chatgpt to advise my healthcare, but after seeing it spit out very wrong answers to a basic math question, I’m just wondering why anyone would try to have it advise anyone’s health are.

I have experienced it, and in my experience it was in no way possible for it to be confirmation bias. My wife and I sometimes do something weird where we just talk for hours. Crazy I know, but we bounce ideas off each other to an extent that we get into conversations about stuff we have never talked about nor ever searched for. Not even anything remotely close to related to things we search for.

We used to have and use a lot of Google home minis. Within hours we would see ads for the exact thing we were talking about. We would see ads for thing related to conversations we had within hours. We started getting hyper vigilant about it. We started randomly talking clearly and loudly about nonsense subjects and products that we have no sense to talk about and waiting to see how long it would take to see a suggested ad pushed to us by Google. It usually took less than 24 hours no matter what it was. This went on for months.

It became a running joke to us and I would walk into the room and say something like “I would love to buy a farberware brand vegetable peeler. There is nothing more that I would like than to purchase farberware brand appliances and homewares”. My wife would laugh, and usually before the end of the night I would have large targeted ads on my phone for farberware appliances.

Honestly since we stopped using the Google home minis (since they barely work with anything due to googles bullshit software support) it happens far far less.

It starts out as $1.99 but everyone forgets that as life goes on they take more pictures and videos and have to keep upgrading cloud sevices to keep their memories intact.

I desperately want a Sony but there are so few carriers that offer them that I have to finance them the old fashioned way, or buy them used, which is hard since there are so few of them available that one may pop up every few months. Ever since LG dropped their phone division, there are zero options for phones at any carrier in my area besides the big 3. LG was the only company fighting the software “cloud” subscription phones, with real hardware that people like me want and need, that was available to finance with a contract (which in my area is a big deal. The service area here is still horrible no matter who you choose, of which we have maybe 4 SP’s)

Either way, Sony needs to simplify their naming scheme. It doesn’t matter much for people like me that will always research phone purchases, but even then, it’s confusing. Looking up Xperias that are solely pro models that don’t relate to their 1 and 5 models only to see they are for some reason cheaper will confuse a majority of buyers, especially when they seem at a glance to be nearly identical and both being sold on their company site. The lineage of their offerings is just convoluted and they could do away with all of the nonsense if they used letters for the naming of their devices and left the numbers for their iterations rather than the opposite, and then left their pro series phones to be just that. Looking up Sonys phones nearly requires a history lesson.

NFTs were doomed because of what they are.

Getty, the giant corporate image copywriting company, is essentially selling images with the same intent that NFTs were created for. The only difference is that once the image is sold on Getty, it’s actually sold. Finding another copy of the image is nearly impossible. The image then actually has value and most importantly, sole ownership.

I tried to find a photo I saw in a TV show and found they bought it from Getty. That photo is gone from the internet. Aquiring it would mean contacting the TV studio with the cash ready to buy the rights and use of it. They bought it for maybe $30. Buying it from them would be an astronomical price and would take a lot of work. Buying to resell would be a gamble on the shows long-term popularity.

So instead of buying an image outright, owning it forever, and having all control of it’s use, you could buy an NFT that anyone can download, claim you own it yet never be able to access the original file, and you don’t have any reasonable right to claim copyright. It’s just nonsense pump and dump bullshit.

Would I buy a pet rock? No, but that didn’t stop people from buying pet rocks.

I would rather have expandable storage mandated than replaceable batteries but obviously that’s not going to happen.

The menu configuration is nearing Amazon Prime levels of stupidity when they used to have one of the easiest to navigate.

GM has had supercruise under subscription service for forever.
