I'd have to hear her argument, but...
  • No, viruses don't mean the scientific definition of life. IIRC, the primary reason why is because, in order to make copies of itself, it must hijack a living cell's reproductive system to do so. It can't simply divide to make more of itself.

  • Quitting the game
  • One day, he's going to try to log out, and the logout button will be missing.

    Then the only way he'll be able to wake up is by beating all 100 floors of his dream. But if he dies in the dream, he dies in real life.

  • Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US?
  • Oh, we had something like this in college. The vendor would load up the... well, actually, it was more like a big version of those little coolers you see in the checkout line in grocery stores—the ones with the sodas and stuff in them. Anyway, the vendor would load them up every couple days. It'd have sandwiches, salads, puddings (which were actually really popular), sodas, Gatorade, water, and a bunch of other stuff. If we wanted something, we would just get it out, scan the barcode on the scanner attached to the handle, tap our phones or cards to pay, and be on our way.

  • NonSteamLaunchers gets booted from Steam Deck plugin store Decky Loader
  • and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]

    Maybe they should've, you know, looked at the site for 2 minutes before signing up. The modlog is linked at the bottom of every page.

  • A national movement to organize Amazon takes off.
  • Honestly, the only reason I remembered Prime Day last week was because an order I'd placed for something was scheduled to arrive then. (The only reason I ordered the thing from Amazon was because it was the only place to get it. I much prefer ordering from Best Buy and using their store pickup.)

  • Ok boomer
  • Most stores around me thankfully don't even use the weight station. I don't even think Walmart does anymore since they "upgraded" their checkouts recently. (The self checkouts have completely taken over and have a sort of open floor concept going on.)

  • Ok boomer
  • That's an option at some stores in the US. I believe Walmart has that option for Walmart+ members, and I know Sam's Club has the option available in their app for all members.

  • How medical insurance works
  • Insurance wasn't involved when it came time to pay for the surgery. By then, they'd already denied the claim and the appeal, so they were paying completely out of pocket for the surgery.
