For some reason the floor price is $5 a month when given the complexity of the app and the benefit to my life, the price should be between a few cents and a dollar at the high end.
This is why land use and nuisance laws exist in municipalities. People clamor for deregulation when it prevents them from shooting off fireworks or guns or burning trash and move to unincorporated areas.
Then, a datacenter comes along, effectively a bigger, louder, richer neighbor playing by the same lack of rules and outdoes them at their own game. It's only oppression when a bigger dog shows up?
Costco's gimmick is relieving you of choice and price shopping. They find the best stuff and don't mark it up. If Consumer is your identity yet you fear executing its labors, let Costco step in and become your denomination of consumerism, complete with tithe, proscribed usury, and communion hot dog.
Mom brain is also a thing. Large scale, consistent, structural changes in the postpartum brain that is uncorrelated with PPD.

I suspect the "alpine divorce" phenomenon is the same desire to test influence dangerously attempted in a higher stakes environment. "No, let's go to this restaurant" becomes "Let's take this path" or "Let's take a break" and refusal to entertain tests of influence to alter the plan are recast as attempted murder.
I am shocked it resonated with readers here so universally. It was well-presented visually, but genuinely miserable to read with all the worst tells of AI writing. It contained two or three actual sentences of content with intense repetition, obnoxious signposting, and disjoint "what the fatcats don't want you to know" framing throughout. "Nobody in a position of power is saying this. The reason is simple: They sold you the condition. Now they sell you the treatment." The single worst thing I've read on Hacker News this year.
Two Kickstarters, one with the "Projects We Love" badge from the platform itself, have raised $1M+ by promising a clamshell PC with mechanical keyboard while demo videos show a known AliExpress headless keyboard/touchscreen (no internals) running benchmarks while never showing the rear I/O suggesting hidden cabling.
When it flags something as high confidence, 3.1 is very reliable. Human-authored text I saw scoring ~70 with 3.0 now scores ~15. With scores above 90, the false positive rate looks to be about zero.

It's easy to be a text maximalist now we're in the LLM era, but I disagree that ideas are a separate, nonphysical realm that cannot otherwise be described.

I chose the Sony 1000XM4 because the RTINGS graph showed the strongest cancellation in the 60Hz range. All my tormentors are in the AC-powered machine noise range.
Regret-centric advice always follows the implicit model of: had I taken Action, best case I add Good Result to this timeline, worst case I revert to this timeline. No, failure can have a cost that wipes out this timeline completely, leaving you unimaginably worse off.
This is an incredible relief and should be the final nail in the coffin for safety/alignment/shoggoth arguments. It turns out features are completely scrutable, and when modified, we don't see chaotic, schizo non-sequiturs, but a coherent, predictable, globally-consistent shift proving models are operating in a fundamentally understandable way.
This is how I now see biology, and more so with each reframing. Cells being squishy, floppy bags no longer counts as a point against them being "tech" or "robotic." That's deliberate engineering—a complex scaffold of nanotech ladders that continuously reform to emulate "squish" as a feature.
