Random fact, but children under 16 are not eligible for Darwin Awards.

Also, I find it interesting that you are basically insulting this kid for doing something stupid while saying you did it in the same paragraph. I guess you are not stupid because it didn’t kill you?

A lot of people posting that the threat of theft or interference will put a halt to drone delivery, but I wonder if that will really be a problem when looking at the the return on investment. A lot of people have said similar things about self service checkouts but industry keeps pushing on.

The cost of drone delivery will shrink dramatically over time (labour and energy being the two big ones) especially if you compare it to equivalent service levels (e.g. same day delivery) so much so that companies would likely easily absorb the costs - if it all works of course.

Is it really that different to the vrooming of cars that we have grown accustomed to?

HA, I read the title and thought “what is going on? I love my seat warmers” - I completely overlooked the word subscription because it is absolutely absurd that there would be an ongoing cost to the consumer for a feature that provides no ongoing cost to the manufacturer.

Just because you are right, doesn’t mean you are relevant or the other person is wrong.

Ah yes, the sequel LGBTQ2: Electric Boogaloo

“If our F-DLC coating were adopted globally, it would noticeably curtail carbon emissions and water usage for the existing power infrastructure”

There are clearly benefits to increasing the efficiency of the steam cycle, but I feel like for 2% this is a bit of an overstatement.

A cheese room. With lots of cheese. Different kinds, different ages and from different places. But still only cheese. I fuckin’ love cheese!

I use Apple devices for work and although their hardware and software are reasonably well refined, I would never choose to use them for my personal devices as long as they continue their anti consumer walled garden approach.

Ctrl+F Hotline Miami… No one’s mentioned this banging track yet?

This article has serious “not the onion” vibes!

I have done this, and the only thing I regretted is not eating more olives.

Cowabunga and tubular!

80s were a good time!

One day I will try this because I love coffee and I like experimenting in the kitchen in general, but the reality is the time and effort required would not outweigh the cost, quality and consistency of a local roaster who can get coffee out to you a couple of days (at most) post roasting especially if I factor in the multiple cups a day I drink!

Lemmy apps are buggy so you are going back to Reddit? I got some news for you buddy…

Oh no, won’t somebody please think of the parents right to exploit their children!

It is honestly depressing that there is a need to regulate something so seemingly obvious - but here we are.

Well longer term allowing the community to focus all it’s hate on the CEO, rather than the platform (and it’s direction e.g. the API and gold changes) allows for an easy PR fix in future - when spez is replaced all the bad press goes away, but all the changes remain intact and forgotten.

I don’t want to give Reddit any traffic BUT this might be a good opportunity to let people know of alternatives like Lemmy!

Offering an alternative and mostly unpopular view, there are lot of things that society should spend that may not always have a great financial return on investment but will contribute to the culture of society (sports, art, entertainment, history, etc).

That said I do think the Commonwealth Games is a massive cost sink during poor financial conditions and sports already gets a disproportionate amount of funding compared to the others so I don’t think this is necessarily a bad move!
