Wow. Pot calling the kettle black.

Can confirm they're real as well as the reaction

Mythbusters: Driving Drunk Vs Mobile Phone

Edit: Episode Part 1/3 Part 3/3 (I couldn't find 2/3 anywhere annoyingly enough)

TL:DW: They found driving while using a cell phone is potentially as dangerous as driving drunk. They scored lower in their crash course while on the phone

Important to note:

  • They didn't mention how much alcohol was consumed (or they did in the episode and not in this clip, give me a break I found this in 2 minutes on the shitter)
  • They show them taking a breathalyzer test. Im going to assume they were testing to be over the limit to get a DUI (.08% in the US), though it's not shown or mentioned A clip of part 3/3 says that they stayed below the legal limit (@ .065%) so they would NOT be legally intoxicated
  • The sample size is like, 2. Not very statistically accurate, as mythbusters is entertainment and not a real scientific study
  • Theyre on a closed course. No pedestrians, no stop lights, no other drivers, no "unpredictable" variables in which you would need your reaction time, which would be impaired if you were drunk
  • Theyre using flip phones held up to their ears, on a phone call. Results probably vary (though are probably worse) texting vs a phone call and on modern devices vs old ones

No real claim either way to one being worse. Moral of the story being get off your fucking phone and don't drive drunk and you dont need to worry. Dreizehn@kbin.social's claims aren't necessary wrong, but they're not necessary right either

RCS just got cut for me again today because I'm rooted. At this point I'm spiteful enough that anybody who wants to reach me is going to have to do it through signal.

TIL The fish pepper was thought to be extinct for much of the 20th century until the rediscovery of fifty year-old seeds in a family's freezer ( www.bbc.com )

The fish pepper (named for its common use in seafood dishes) is popular today, but it nearly disappeared altogether: that it still exists is thanks to William Woys Weaver, a Maryland author and ethnographer. In 1995, Weaver discovered a jar of seeds in the bottom of a freezer that belonged to his grandfather, H Ralph Weaver....

I'm not bad at cleaning out my fridge, I'm just preserving species for the future!

If you don't want to buy a domain you can try a reverse DNS lookup, your ISP may already give you one. Mine was C-XX-XX-XX-XX.hsd1.pa.comcast.net and I could get a let's encrypt certificate with that. I did end up buying a domain but it was good for personal use

I love how all the drivers are in the comments like "I ain't saying he's right but I get it"

Honestly how fucking dare they mess with communication like that, especially with no notice. I've been missing messages from my roommate and dad with no sign of anything being misconfigured. It's one thing for things to be inadvertently broken from rooting, but doing it on purpose under the table is disgusting behavior

I think I'd prefer to use a bidet...

I remember the "to download this answer this survey and win a free iPad" and being smart enough to know it was a scam but also dumb enough to think it might be real and just enter the info of the vacant house down the road and check it every day to see if it had came

These answers don't use OpenAI technology. The yes and no snippets have existed long before their partnership, and have always sucked. If it's GPT, it'll show in a smaller chat window or a summary box that says it contains generated content. The box shown is just a section of a webpage, usually with yes and no taken out of context.

All of the above queries don't yield the same results anymore. I couldn't find an example of the snippet box on a different search, but I definitely saw one like a week ago.
