    The longer you wear them, the easier it is. I didn’t get glasses until I was over 20. I wasn’t used to them, so I would have to clean them about every hour. Now that I’ve been wearing them for the better part of ten years, I don’t even have to clean them every day.



  • Yes, but the goal of the researchers from the 70s was always to make them “fully intelligent.” The idea behind AI has always been to create a machine that can rival or even surpass the human mind. The scientists themselves set out with that goal. It has nothing to do with the media when research teams were saying that they expect a fully intelligent AI by the 90s.



  • Yeah, alcohol killed my dad and plagued my grandparents their whole lives. I drink a few times a year at most, and when I do, I buy in small amounts. Plus I can quit weed cold turkey any time I want. I take a 1-2 day sabbatical from cannabis at least once every 2 weeks. No hangovers, no liver damage, no crippling addiction, and way cheaper as long as you don’t smoke all day, every day. Most of the time I use edibles, so no damage to the lungs either.


  • Somebody needs to teach kids about actual drug safety. Abstinence from drugs is a shitty program that doesn’t work and often, the speakers just lie. Opipids are horrible enough that you don’t have to make up lies about them. When kids find out they lied about weed, they start to wonder what else they were lied to about. I can understand 14 year olds being dumb, but people in their 20s should know better than to be buying opioids on Snapchat and Telegram.

    Also, I don’t see a way how Snapchat can possibly regulate this. Just like with Craigslist, criminals will use emoji and code words to sell drugs and get through language filters.





  • You can’t blame a company in the GPS industry for directing people to drive over a collapsed bridge while they ignore multiple warnings that the bridge is out in the first place? It happened a decade ago, Google should have fixed it a decade ago.

    Also it can be hard to see the surface of the road at a distance at night. By the time he saw the bridge was out, it was probably too late. There’s no lights around the bridge at all.

    I’m not saying all of the blame is on Google though, that road should be blocked off/barricaded. However, all of this would’ve been avoided if Google Maps told him to take a right turn instead of a left. All they had to do was listen to the locals telling them that it’s impossible to cross the bridge for a decade. It’s negligence pure and simple and if it hadn’t happened to him, it would be someone else.
