I had no idea it was called “epic fury” until NPR mentioned it during morning edition today. I almost crashed my car laughing at that Idiocracy-ass name.

That shit sounds like an energy drink for dudes with restraining orders.

Cords are actually kind of trendy right now.

My guess is that these out of the box colors are probably fine with 3 or 4 things. But with a lot of items, you’re really forced to rely on the key.

More like 20

Those pie charts are really hard to read. Those colors are too similar.

But a block of cheddar isn’t shredded. It’s a block. Shredded cheddar is shredded.

Love that story. It’s also a good reminder that there are a lot of different things that can help someone recover, and what worked for one person might not work for someone else.

Sounds like he’s pretty deep into addiction. He might be someone that could benefit from something like a disulfiram implant. Anytime you drink you get physically sick and risk a trip to the ER to get your stomach pumped.

These things are usually pretty high up. The camera in my neighborhood are about 15ft / 4.5m up. When one goes down, they have to queue up for a truck to be sent out.

Paint can be seen by passers by. A fried sensor can’t.

I’m more disappointed by the US hockey team deciding have a celebrity locker room party with Kash Patel.

Ditto. That was my first question as well. Who was recruited?

Then I realized, that question is irrelevant, because little qualitative studies like this are not supposed to answer broad questions like this.

I imagine there is no malicious intent here. The author likely doesn’t have a background in research and doesn’t understand what information you can reliably pull from a focus group.

This is not how you read a focus group.

This is a small 13 person group. These groups are waaaay too small to see how the general public feels about policies.

You’re supposed to use focus groups to get insight into WHY people might feel a certain way about a policy. Then you survey a broad audience to see if the sentiment exists at scale.

I’m all for more progressive policies, but I also do a lot of research professionally, and this article annoyed me. These are the wrong conclusions to draw from a little focus group.

Study of age 13-17yo kids, but the thumbnail is of a 7 year old rip master, who’s monster bong loads are phatter than all those teens.

Dawg. Me and boys are just here for the beans.

Or simply “The Machine”

People dragging out Bernie in 2028

The main issue is that these items have a much bigger list of requirements and stakeholders than the items designed in the past. They’re trying to be everything for everyone.

Something like a simple park bench needs meet requirements for accessibility, weather resistance, vandalism, cleaning, vagrancy - plus all of the opinions of city council and people that show up to nag city council.

Why are those dogs on the little bus?

It’s some old 9/11 BS.

FEMA responds any disaster, including one caused by terrorism. They got rolled into DHS so one chain of command could coordinate responses to terrorism.

Problem is, 99.9% of their day job responding to non-terrorism disasters.

It’s an org structure designed around an edge case, not the more common needs.
