why is it a group discussion whether a grown man - not in the discussion - should go to the Mayo Clinic
"he should go if he wants" is the ground state. If he doesn't want to go, okay then. If you don't want him to go, an opinion that functionally does not exist, what would you do with that opinion

This is a great example of people want the disabled and infirm dead. How did it "run dry"? AGAIN, depraved indifference murder is how it ran dry. This is like fully wrapping someone in plastic and afterwards wandering around asking why they suffocated. Mistakes? were made?

idiots are defending it as a joke
but Crandall v. Nevada - in 1868 - explicitly said this was illegal. It is in fact, the facts of the fucking case - Nevada tried to charge people $1 to leave and the court said absolutely fucking not

I bought a chain-driven window opener from Zemismart and it was DOA. and because I am compulsively an engineer I decided I wouldn't let that stand and I have completely reverse-engineered the device and told them what the most likely root-cause is (I am not using a 433 remote, fuck that)

the average fucking-moron-ness of Google has reached the point where they failed one of their core tasks which is that someone spamming a calendar invite (which does go to Spam in e-mail) does not get to actually schedule a motherfucking event, much less one with a reminder executed as notification

I remember Knol for the fact that a friend of mine thought it was very cool and wanted to show me at work and then clicked on a random article which turned out to be "Gonorrhea"and loaded a picture of a diseased cock
In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped
