It being bad because it was rushed doesn't make it not bad.

But when the lot starts to fill up (which “usually happens at 4AM or so,” according to Tung) what looks like a maddening ballet of autonomous parking — and honking — begins. The noise goes for as much as an hour at a time before it settles down, she said.

Did you read the article? Because that sounds really egregious.

It's something you have to worry about in basically all apartments (in the US--despite thin walls and no insulation, I never had loud and inconsiderate neighbors when I lived in Japan). You might get lucky and get a place with good soundproofing, but the odds are slim.

Well yeah. Most of those single-use plastic items are going to the same place.

Never buy a Samsung kitchen appliance. They are expensive and they fail. Just say no.

My friends' cats use theirs. I think they started getting them to by luring them with treats.

A puppy, and no, even though she did die of cancer right after she turned two. She was my joy.

You should read a book called Death and the Penguin by Andrey Kurkov.

This is so badly needed. I hope they get good traction. Not only do renters get stiffed all the time by outrageous rents/rent increases and illegal non-return of security deposits (and more!), there are also people who sincerely believe that renters shouldn't even be allowed to vote because they're "not invested in the community".

Makes me livid.

Need to include things like cryocautery and LEEP procedures as well. Doctors are taught and somehow seem to actually believe that these are not painful. They can be very painful.

Just another part of the long history of the medical system ignoring women.
