I feel like there's a new revolutionary battery technology every 6 months then we never hear about it again.

Should someone get a ticket for going 66 mph in a 65 zone? I don't really think officer discretion is avoidable to a certain degree. Laws can never be written perfectly. There are always going to be ridiculous edge cases like this where a reasonable person would know the law shouldn't be applied. This is why so much legal precedent is based on what a reasonable person would do or what a reasonable person would assume given a certain situation.
I do agree that the neighbor should not be let off on this, nor am I trying to excuse their behavior. But there are always going to be Karens that call the cops for no reason and the system has to be able to deal with that.

The problem is my procrastination brain knows this hack. It knows that once I do the 5 minutes I won't be able to stop and it doesn't want that. So it still doesn't let me start.

Careful with the Saliva tests. They are much less accurate. I had one done and it said I was way above the normal range. I went to the doctor and had a blood test and it was normal.

Same thing for airlines. I hate the argument "consumers decided they wanted smaller seats, no free food or drinks, etc by buying the cheapest tickets." People just tried to get the best deal possible in the market, they aren't analyzing which airline has the best seats and amenities and making their decision from there.

Also 9 times out of 10 its a bait and switch for a different company. Whenever I've worked with these recruiters they always "see whats a good fit" with my resume and its never the company that was in the job description.

I've checked multiple sources and I can't find a single definition of genius that requires the person be notable or "who greatly improved human society through their intellect." Only that they be exceptionally intelligent or gifted in a certain field.

So CICO works for young people, but older people can defy the laws of physics?

Couldn't it be that the unconscious mind influences the conscious mind to make it seem like we agree with the action that was taken?
