Is Google Maps getting worse?
  • That would be super awesome if navigation apps had profiles.

    Like, when I’m driving my car I go the speed of traffic or maybe a little fast.

    And when I’m driving my motorhome I go 65mph tops and really slow up hills.

    But totally nobody does this. Even the RV Trip Wizard app (built around Here navigation) makes you choose between “I drive XXX speed on average” (ignoring actual speed limits and conditions, just assume constant speed) or just assume normal traffic.

    Why can’t they recognize that different drivers drive differently???

  • Not Worth It...
  • This image appears to have been color-enhanced, in case anybody is concerned with reality. A brief image search (which will no doubt do wonders for my reputation with the CIA) shows cheetah testicles scrota range from tan to slightly-orangish-tan

  • can I opt out of credit agencies?
  • I never asked for a credit score.

    Unfortunately the credit agencies don’t have much reason to care what you want. There are people with money who asked for everybody to have a credit score

  • Do deaf people play media with sound on?
  • I think the issue is that the people writing the captions don’t understand and can’t write it down.

    Obviously the producers could fix that but it would be a process change, which would take some attention from a powerful person who cares about the issue. As you imply, that seems to be in short supply.

  • How Apple's Hearing Aid and Hearing Test will work on AirPods Pro
  • First I’m hearing this claim — what did Apple do to Bluetooth hearing aids? My mother has been using Bluetooth hearing aids for a couple years now that have nothing to do with Apple, are you saying Apple was standing in the way of that?

  • Underground homes in Coober Pedy, Australia
  • Looks like. I was in Coober Pedy a few years ago and it was pretty much an ordinary town with ordinary buildings. There was a mining museum including an exhibit of how they used to furnish old mines and make houses out of them but I guess modern air conditioning has pretty much ended that.

    Edit: ok the town was pretty fucking weird actually and very interesting. But it does appear to be 99% made out of ordinary buildings

  • Autocorrect Rule
  • Holy crap my iphone goes hard — I do not type like this:

    “Women are not allowed in this world anymore because they don’t want their husbands and children in this country and the rest are forced into the hands and knees to get to work for their own selfish desires “

  • How to search for 3m command hook-hooks on an STL website?
  • Thirded

    I assume 3M makes those inserts for their hooks because it’s difficult to mass-produce cheap hollow objects with a firm flat back.

    We don’t have that problem.

    I have stuck all manner of things to the wall with command strips — power strips, 3D-printed hooks, boxes.. whatever has a flat back works fine.

  • A Black man got a job interview after he changed the name on his resume. Now, he’s suing for discrimination | CNN
  • The problem is that sending in a resume and applying for a job takes effort. If you invite people to spend time and effort and mental energy to get a thing (job) when you know you won’t give it to them, then you are wasting their time and effort and mental energy, which I can tell you as somebody who fucking hates looking for jobs, that mental energy can be in serious short supply for people looking for work.

    That “fresh pile of resumes” is definitely good for you when you want it, but the giant stale pile of resumes that you keep throwing away is not free for the people sending them in.

  • What happens to little black ants without a queen?

    I have some little black ants in my motorhome. I’m pretty sure I picked them up at my last stop in upstate New York but I’ve since driven far away from there. Wikipedia says little black ants nest in the soil so presumably I didn’t take their queen with me.

    What’s going to happen to this group that hitched a ride? Are they likely to elect a new queen and go looking for a good nesting spot, or curl up and die, or what?
