Thanks for posting this. I love this painting. I have a 10,000 piece puzzle of this on my wall that my father put together. It is pretty amazing and large, but that helps make it easier to see the zany scenes.

Not sure how all that can be separated out meaningfully as it is the platform being used and advertisers have expectations based on whatever agreement has been struck between them. Maybe I misunderstood. Perhaps the difference in your example is a user acting versus a bot? Intent probably comes up somewhere as well, but I am not a lawologist. 🤷‍♂️

My understanding is that the contractual agreement with advertisers is that they pay to reach ears. The ads did not reach any ears as promised which could be equated to fraud.

To be clear to those just reading your comment without clicking through to your reference, the engine is not plastic. The block is still metal, as are the internal parts, but there are a lot of plastic bits all over joining things together (cheaper and perhaps planned obsolescence). Too many parts on the engine being plastic obviously makes for reliability issues (as your link describes).

Yes. Especially the monkey. It looked so cool I use that one as an avatar in some games.

Reminds me of the anti-smoking campaign using animals. They did look cooler.

I sail the high seas these days, so that's something! ;)

As it is with many teens, I had quite a difficult time with anyone telling me hwat to do. The military is all about that. Hard pass.

I scored very high (I peaked in high school). The Navy was at my house a short time later offering me a job as a nuclear tech in a submarine. Sit in a sub for months on end? It was a hot and quick "no" from me.

TIL about the Darth Valley Challenge. Thanks for that!

Yes, I know sites want all the clicks out there and I did note OP matched the CNBC headline as per the rules. Perhaps a better article exists with a less sensational headline? A brief search proves they do. Something like this:

Medical Errors Are No. 3 Cause Of U.S Deaths, Researchers Say

Or this:

Medical errors are the third leading cause of death’ and other statistics you should question

OP's article is from 2018 and my links are from 2016 and 2023 respectively, so this isn't exactly new news. Ultimately, OP should be sourcing a better publication that does not sensationalize the news, but I would embrace a 'no clickbait' rule to better cull them out, too.

Is it possible to have a "No Clickbait" rule?

Pretty please???

Nature will castigate those who don’t masticate!
