A pro Trump acquaintance claimed that Trump had been acquitted this week of his 34 felonies. I told him he should start reading better news sources. (The clearest evidence that that didn't happen is the fact that Trump hasn't said anything about it, because if it did, you'd never hear the end of it. )

I took a Waymo robotaxi in San Francisco a couple weeks ago. It was easy to use and I felt very safe; generally they drive like your granny. My second ride we ended up briefly stopped behind someone trying to do a left turn in an unexpected spot, and the car wavered left and right for a moment as it tried to decide what to do, not unlike human drivers. Given Tesla's not so great record on full self driving, I think given the choice I would probably stick with Waymo.

I think you're thinking of Simone Giertz?

I really do think UPS does a better job than FedEx overall, but I gotta say the last time UPS delivered a high ticket item to me, it was supposed to be signed for. The driver dropped it off, gave a knock on the door and immediately left. Did not wait, didn't leave a tag, didn't take it back. I reported it to them. I was across the country at the time and the original delivery estimate was supposed to be two days later, after my return home. It's possible Best buy was the one that fucked up and gave wrong info to UPS though.

It's in the article. Most of the time they don't, but in areas where theft is an issue they do. But I'm guessing they haven't caught on yet to change the signature policy.

Well wouldn't that be a shame Edit: I don't mean to imply I'd be happy about people being harmed. But maybe they should not elect a person who plays politics at their constituents' expense.

Why not make that money available only to the districts whose representatives voted in favor of it. If the representative voted against it, that means their district must not want it, right?

We should get Democrats to fake sign up for this, get the money, and donate it to Kamala.

They stopped questioning age when Biden stepped down. Now it's taken them almost 3 months to realize the other candidate also has age and dementia issues.

He lies because he's saying things his base wants to hear. He knows he has people who will believe whatever he says, no matter how senseless or extreme. And if confronted with facts that Trump is wrong, they'll justify it in some way: he's joking, or being sarcastic, or people are misinterpreting his equivocation. It's just ego masturbation

I recently ordered something from Walmart (I try to avoid it, but I could not find this one thing elsewhere) and you get a link in your email to notify them when you're in the pickup bay. The link goes to their app. I tried going to the website through Chrome, to no avail. It kept sending me to try to download the app. I did not. I don't shop there often enough to justify it. I drove to the pickup bay and lo and behold, the sign had a phone number you could call; a very pleasant person answered, asked my name, and I had my order in a few minutes.

I do have a couple grocery store apps for 2 reasons: 1 - there are some extremely low prices that you can only get by "clipping a coupon" within the app, and 2 - loyalty points do turn into cash back.

Safeway (a west coast grocery chain) has implemented it in the worst way possible, though. They had a physical loyalty card which you scanned at checkout/self checkout, which let you access lower prices. But now they have even lower prices only through the app. The app, however, 1 - does not let you enter your old loyalty card number, combine points and cleanly separate from the old method and 2 - you cannot use the damn thing at self checkout. You have to have a checkout clerk scan your barcode in the app, which is insane. I'm just glad Safeway is not my main grocery, because if it were I would have to change to some other grocery.

Any relation to Walt Nauta? (Unlikely, I know, but IDK how common or uncommon the last name is.)
