As far as I can tell, Trump is literally the only one, so the fuck you talking about

The habit runs deep. I remember everyone using "lol" constantly on ICQ and AIM lol

And pound for pound almost just as bad for your liver

I hate to break it to you, but those kernels would stew in your juices for at least a couple days before you got to be cremated, and they'd be all soft and mushy and would not pop.

So you spent your dying moments force-feeding yourself unpopped popcorn for nothing

I’ve just discovered this interesting concept called “reading the article”

What dark magic is this

When the person in front of me has turned right, and I have full clearance to proceed, my CX-5 sometimes still thinks that car is in my travel path and applies the automatic brakes. Based on my experience, this feature is much more likely to get me rear-ended than it is to stop me from hitting someone.

Sure, but Google's just doing it because it's profitable, not because they're hell-bent on annihilating an ethnicity /s

Here's the actual study if anyone cares to read it.

Skimming it, a couple things I noticed: This was a study of over 7,000 people across all departments at a large healthcare system. They found on-site workers skewed younger with shorter tenure and remote workers skewed older with longer tenure.

One potential pitfall: They didn't control in any way for department or role, and so floor nurses and housekeeping staff who must work fully on-site are being compared to tenured nurses working utilization review or revenue cycle staff whose job is billing/coding and who don't have to interact with anyone in their roles. In-person and remote jobs in healthcare tend to be very different jobs. I don't know how well this study could be generalized to other types of job settings based on this info

That single example happened when Obama was president. Got anything more recent?

Whether there's a net lower carbon footprint depends heavily on how much gasoline you burn
