“could have happened to anyone”

Uh, sure, maybe anyone who wasn’t 16 years old. I completely blame the company for allowing a 16 year old to operate dangerous equipment, let alone without direct supervision.

If his two coworkers were only alerted to his injury after the kid phoned his boss, got disconnected, texted him a picture, then the boss phones the coworkers, they were absolutely not close enough to be supervising that kid even with “hearing protection”. That would be like 2-3 minutes at least for that process but likely took longer.

You’re telling me there were no better jobs the kid could have been doing while the coworkers operated the mulching machine?

I’m curious who America will bend over backwards for in a war between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

I would probably choose my favourite movie in SD, a few dozen of my favourite songs, a few dozen old school games, and then fill out the rest with a few hundred ebooks.

Variety can be way more valuable than pure quantity.

Humanity every few months

There is absolutely no amount of hard work that deserves that much money, absolutely none. You could run a marathon every single day for 50 years and I still wouldn’t say you deserved that much money.

My first thought was people giving birth to unplanned babies since October is 9 months after Valentine’s day.

If it’s something like bacon / beef grease just let it congeal in the pan then scrape it out into the garbage can.

I don’t have it! What’s wrong with me??

It’s only a matter of time before Google doesn’t give you directions for the shortest and most efficient route, but rather plans your route to send you past the stores that pay the most in advertising.

“You could get to your destination by going down smith street fastest, but Glover Street has McDonald’s so we will send you down that road”

It shows little popup logos on the screen where the places are located, like a McDonald’s logo a few street over as you are driving by in your commute. I had it show me a Toyota logo for a Toyota dealership yesterday. Like, why do I need to know there’s a Toyota dealership there unless I’m specifically searching for it? Toyota probably paid them to show up a certain amount of times.

You would have to guarantee those phones would eventually end up in the right person’s hands.

Otherwise if you sabotage 100 phones and only 30 go to your targets, even if you only detonate those 30 there are now 70 phones out there randomly floating around with enough explosives to kill some random person.

I work in mosquito control, it’s been generally fairly well known as far as I know. Light traps use black light bulbs as one of the methods to attract mosquitos because the lack of visible light cuts down on the number of bycatch like moths but the bulb still generates heat to attract the mosquitos, usually paired with dry ice for CO2.

I don’t think we should call these people billionaires if it is all reliant on the value of their stocks. If it ain’t taxable it doesn’t exist.

Regular mowers have a person which animal can recognize as a threat and run away. They may not bother running from an automated mower I imagine.

If the companies try and make the consumer eat the cost, then the companies who sell their products in cardboard packaging instead of plastic will be able to sell it for cheaper and potentially steal business from the others. There are plenty of products sold in plastic which do not need to be.

I don’t even understand why I need to make a password for some sites anymore. They send a code to my phone everytime.to make.sure it’s me so it seems like there’s practically no point.

Because that’s where they trick you. They sell you something as if it’s a good deal when really it’s not, and they make a ton of money by selling the same thing to 50 other people.

You need to book it because you are not the only person who “owns” it. Many people do, and usually you can only book like 1-2 weeks a year or something.

Despite paying the full price of an apartment you’re only really buying 1/52 of an apartment

Plus they have you pay a bunch of maintenance fees which can be a few hundred to thousands a year.
