Prove you're human rule
  • Well what are you supposed to click on, the whole traffic light or just the lights, all the blocks with a cyclist, or just the cycle, or just the blocks that are all cycle ? I've tried everything and nothing works.

    The sad part is that these don’t really stop bots, captcha solver services have bot accessible APIs which can be used to solve these things for malicious actors, they pay real people pennies to solve them and sell it as a service.

    Its not really intended for that, it for bots that run thousands of clicks a minute to bring the site up in a search algorithm.

  • "Naked Gun" & "Airplane" Director Abrahams Dies
  • I think it was Airport (not Airport 707). It was a Rank film.

    I love how spoofing it meant 95% of the dialog and story was the same. What a classic.

    Actually they changed the plot to make it less silly.

    In the original, the WW2 pilot is on the ground and is lowered into the 707 from a helicopter through the front window. This is briefly referenced in Flying High when they lower the window like in the original.

  • Why Trump Is Targeting U.S.-Canada Border Over Migrant Crossings
  • Arrests for illegal crossings from Canada spiked in the last fiscal year, but remain a fraction of the number of those from Mexico.

    I don;t get it, surely its the US thats responsible for border crossings with Canada ? Its not like they're trekking across the mountains like the Von Trapps.

  • If Trumps tariffs go thru would that not cause the countries the tariffs are imposed on just raise their prices? And a result of that hurt the american consumer? Why do it to begin with?
  • Well under that logic why bother with any business expenses ?

    Why bother with labour laws, or income tax, or work insurance, or workers compo, or environmental laws ?

    Because they are all costs on business. And you can bet the foreign manufacturer doesn't comply with anything like the US regulations.

  • Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?
  • Look at the any post about Israel or trans.

    The number of likes is completely out of proportion to anything else. A top political post might get 1.2k likes, a question maybe 4k, an Israel bot will get 23k, all short replies or replies repeating the original post in that section.

    A trans post would get 22k likes, and literally the day after the election they vanished, they now get well under 500.

    With a high like count, it gets pushed up into popular and it makes their view look more popular than is actually is.

    BTW, almost all the bots on reddit are produced by the moderators of that subreddit.

  • Does anyone else feel like tech peaked around 10+ years ago?
  • I'm not sure about the touch displays on cars.

    How long does a Chinese tablet last, 10, 12 years ? If you keep it safely stored and don't drop it.

    The things in cars seem to be even cheaper, they only use phone uPs designed to last no more than a few years. And they're roasted in hot weather, frozen and shaken to bits.

    Good luck finding one of them in a few years, assuming they can be taken out at all without ripping up the dash.
