An “expert” could be anyone who convinces someone else to pay them. The “expert” is probably the one that ran it through the chatbot.

No, that’s reddit. Here we’re all just depressed as we watch all the good things fall apart.

*consumer ram. Micron wants to sell it all the AI bros not us.

Nah, RFK Jr goes next to child size casket advertising

Some people have to budget how much gas they can fill at once. Maybe the budget allows for $30 a week, so they stop at $30, or in OP’s case something random like $28.73.

Alternatively, if you prepay at the counter, instead of handing them an even $30, you could hand them $29.39

And the fix is a firmware update not a total recall? So its either buggy overcomplicated software or the update tweaked things to reduce the power draw so you got less machine power than what you were advertised.

Which honestly for a washer machine is pretty cool they can fix that sort of issue without the hassle of replacing the big machine, but if only these kinds of major safety issues could be figured out in pre-production.

Maybe I should stay where I am ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The first edit was undoing a vandalism that persisted for 5 years. Someone changed the number of floors a building had from 67, to 70.

A friendly reminder to only use Wikipedia as a summary/reference aggregate for serious research.

This is a cool tool for checking these sorts of things, run everything through the LLM to flag errors and go after them like a wack-a-mole game instead of a hidden object game.

Rubber Banded it 🤓

I follow a few general checks, the more “checks”, the less likely it is to be a sham.

• does the brand have their own website/exist outside of the store (Amazon, Walmart, etc).
• • Also does it exist on more than one store.
• • Avoid alphabet soup brands. However, sometimes an alphabet soup brand is real, it’s just unfamiliar yo you. Generrly if you can’t attempt to pronounce it, don’t bother.
• Price - consider what it is and what a “cheaper” version would be.
• • What is the average price of the item on amazon? Say the brand-name expensive options are around $40. The knockoffs under $25 are probably junk. But the stuff in the $25+ range might be legimate budget options.
• Reviews - looking for a healthy mix of 4-2 stars.
• • Read the 1 star reviews and see if the reviewers applied any critical thinking. If they ordered a 50 button mouse that says it only works on windows and they complain it doesn’t work on their Mac you know its a user problem. Othertimes they complain about shipping problems outside the sellers control like the box got wet and disintegrated.
• • Every manufactured product has a few duds, the question is will it be returned with out issue and the frequencies of the duds.
• • Do the reviews line up with the product or talk about something random (keep in mind some products have variants that are actually different products). If the speaker reviews start talking about how great the socks are… run.
• YouTube/video reviews
• • Look for multiple independent reviews, if all of them seem to follow the same “talking points”, its a sign they’re paid reviews…or they’re just reading the description page.
• • Also the more independent reviews either means the company cares about marketing which is good and/or the reviews actually liked or hated the thing enough to dedicate time to a review.
• • what else is on the channel, is a bunch of mass-produced “slide show” reviews or do they actually seem to use and test a variety of product for a period of time. Or is this one thing the only review they’ve ever done?
• reddit
• • It’s still one of the best places to get reviews. You’ll see the types of problems people are having, if there’s solutions and sometimes get an idea of what ths customer support is like.

I blocked that one. That means I’ll live forever right?

Do these hotels also ban minors from staying at hotels? There’s a big problem if they don’t.

Except only the rich get to leave, the rest of end up as trash cubes

Neither of those are 1 word. At least hyphen them to pretend they’re one word.

“I’ll have a Krabby Patty with no Bottom Bun, Patty, Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, Cheese, Tomato, Onion, or Top Bun” and then wonder why I got a pickle salad.

I don’t believe so, here is the original xkcd 2347

1. the copyrighted logos wouldn’t be used
2. colors aren’t common in xkcd

Edit, I reread your question. I thought you were asking if the posted image was an original xkcd, as Randle does build upon previous comics from time to time. Now, I realize my dyslexic brain mixed things up.

Solomon’s Keep and Solomon’s Boneyard are fun
