Also damaging to businesses… I already knew about the butter recall and then saw this. My brain automatically filled in ‘peanut butter’ when reading because of the photo, and my first thought was damn, Costco fucked up again? Maybe they are going downhill in quality. Until I read the comments to realize I should reread that.

Personally I prefer a mixture of both. Touch screen for anything you don’t need to operate while driving and physical for everything else.

Android Auto navigation, car system/audio settings, clock and system management, etc should all be a touch screen so you aren’t navigating through turning knobs and pressing up and down buttons to go through various menus like your programming a microwave.

Knobs and dials and buttons for anything to do with audio volume, skip/reverse tracks, etc. and air conditioning.

My dad is the same with gas price. If gas is 156.9 cents a litre? Nah to him it’s 156 cents a litre

Then leave the advertisement alone. They still print the prices on tags at each store location.

Let them send out flyers saying item A is $20 *plus local taxes but when you get to the store the pricetag on the shelf should say $23.50 or whatever the markup ends up being at that location.

Is it only through the skin? I could see it being useful for some sort of implanted medical device/monitoring system.

That way you have something subcutaneous but the power source is strapped to the outside of your body so you can remove for short periods of time to wash/recharge it.

Why not both?

It’s not necessarily the companies in this case at least not for the tomato sauce.

It’s deceiving how much sugar is also in natural, unprocessed and healthy foods.

According to Google there’s about 2.6g of sugar in a 100g tomato, and it takes roughly 2200g of tomato’s to make a jar of sauce the size of a 680g jar of ragu, which according to their nutritional facts has about 43g of sugar in the jar, whereas the raw tomato’s themselves would have contained about 56g of sugar.

It takes a lot of tomatos to make pasta sauce. Even a little sugar in one tomato adds up quick.

Yes I know, but I was just trying to put into the perspective the person I was replying to.

Except the lifetime of the universe is quite small when compared to infinity, so it doesn’t really convey how large infinity is because it’s so much more.

That seems… Inefficient?

New Social media pops up every other year or so. Do they need to meet and vote to add new ones to the list every time?

I used chat gpt, mostly because I absolutely hate how widespread and pushy every company has been about using AI and throwing it in my face so I stubbornly refuse to use any of it.

Sometimes it’s helpful if I’m having trouble making a specific excel formula

Mosquitos aren’t some special niche. Take out mosquitos and something else moves in to replace them, something that doesn’t bite.

There’s nothing that solely depends on mosquitos, and wouldn’t prefer to eat other things which mosquitos may be suppressing by existing themselves.

What if all ads are 30seconds long, would it be impossible to lock skipping anywhere for the first 30seconds of every video?

At any point in time those could also shrink by 25-35% over a year

One solution could be during PC initial setup, a list of all browsers above a certain user count is given and the person chooses which to install and use as default with the ability to change at a later date.

Eh, maybe it’s different for people that only have to fill their tank every 3-4 weeks. I need to refill at least once per week so it’s rare I save any significant amount of money filling up 2 days before I regularly would.

I’m also not sure why everyone would have the same price in mind to start immediately filling their tank at the “cheap” price to trigger a 12% increase amongst 8 different chains of gas stations all at the same time.

Many would be waiting for a few cents more or already pulled the trigger a few cents before.

I just don’t think gasoline follows most free market supply/demand rules as much as most things.

Personally I don’t believe that’s the case. Most people fill up when they need to fill up not because it reached a magic price. It’s not like most people have a choice and can say they aren’t going to drive to work this week because gas needs to drop a few more cents before they go fill up.

It was the cheapest I had seen since 2021 last week for like 36 hours and then overnight jumped up 12%.

It always goes down slowly over a three week period and then hits a low for 1 day and then goes up 10% or more overnight.

They should have little nozzles to disperse a cloud of pepper spray around the vehicle in emergencies.
