Aren't trading floors mostly empty these days since trading is much more automated?

And if someone bought an apple watch thinking it was going to be an heirloom, well, uh..

Ok, that just brought me right back around to your point. Nevermind.

You have to applaud the fact the bot did correctly report a negative savings and did not show us whatever the bot equivalent is of a seg fault.

News aggregation bots are not quite in that same category.

I hate bots that repost from the same community, comment reposting bots or other bots that are designed specifically for karma farming. From that perspective, yes. I am right there with you.

However, bots that perform an actual function are useful. It's why bots are allowed to begin with, actually.

It's not that hard to make a post with the exact same title as the article. Just because it has the same title, does not mean it's from Reddit. It's directly linked to the BBC.

Is there a mention of a cross-post somewhere? Is that bot copying all submissions from /r/technology directly? That is possible.

Don't hate on the summary bot. It's actually useful and a hell of a lot better than clicking through to the site.

Also, it's an article from the BBC, not Reddit?

Sadly, I am space constrained so no lead acid batteries for me. Having the ability to actually maintain my own batteries would have its perks though.

Ok, I remember hearing a little about those transitions when I was getting out in 2005. What you say makes sense since our role was SAR and anti-sub. (The SAR guys were responsible for dropping off and picking up SEALs as well.)

Thanks for validating my memories. Cheers, shippy.

That is likely due to available supply and aggressive marketing. While US beef prices are middle of the road compared to the rest of the world, it's much cheaper when compared to average income and GDP. (I am not an economist by any stretch, but that makes sense to me.)

If there are two things that we Americans have massive supplies of, it's cattle and corn. (And guns. You can't really eat guns though.) From that perspective, it kinda makes sense that we have those as staples in our diets.

Honestly, that is something that really interests me. If there is anything that I am holding out for, it's solid state lithium batteries. (A significant battery bank is high on my list of requirements and having garage full of current generation li-ion batteries still makes me cringe a little.) Prices should be much better once they go into mass production for EVs. Hopefully.

While I support having better access to water for everyone, milk is generally accepted by many kids, even picky ones.

Additionally, milk does provide an opportunity to provide a minimal amount of additional vitamins for growing kids as well, mainly calcium for accident prone kids. This is likely more important for kids who aren't getting fed properly at home. Kids need a ton of energy and chemicals to grow properly, no doubt.

It absolutely is not a superfood. There ain't nothing magical about it, regardless of how many milk commercials you saw growing up. For adults, there isn't much of a benefit unless your body actually needs those vitamins.

Disclaimer: I absolutely detest adults who swear by taking handfuls of vitamins for no reason. Vitamin deficiencies are real and if you have one, you need to be working with a doctor and not with some jackass at a supplement store.

True. If there is a positive to my rant, it's that I am getting a list of companies not use.
