I always wonder what compels some people to make so little effort to understand what they are replying to, but make so much effort in proving they have no idea what they are replying to. Can you explain?

Given the effect on the climate due to pollution, even rain or lack of can be explained by corporate greed

Not really. If they keep the same % based on what it costs them, then it should increase by the same amount.

If they instead get the same amount (which would effectively mean reduce their margins) the final cost would be a bit less.

Happy to be corrected with some numerical example.

So if you see any price increase greater than the tariff amount, it’s plain corporate greed.

Plastic straws are not a problem because they are plastic, but because the shape + durability of plastic make them specially dangerous for fauna and hard to recycle.

Banning plastic straws was a good move. We need more of those, many more. Just because one policy doesn’t fix everything doesn’t mean it doesn’t fix some.

There’s some that think Christianity in general is a Jewish conspiracy,

So Jesus was a double agent? Or the truth is what Jews believe, that Jesus wasn’t the son of God? If so it’s a real 4d chess to promote a conspiracy by claiming it’s fake.

Any info on who believes this?

That should be called “the certificate dilemma”

After fucking it up on a global pandemic there were people attacking the Capitol to defend him. He’s just trying to repeat that achievement.

Word on the street is that they might be facing almost a dollar per petabyte.

6.8 billion annually… Isn’t that close to the daily defense budget? And 10 times less than Trumps shitcoin?

It sounds actually cheap, and US only paid 1/5 of that

The robo taxi isn’t until 2026 if you make the assumption it’s on time and is autonomous.

This reminds me of my old physics assignments:

“Assuming a perfectly spherical cow…”

You can actually chose to have them reverted (mother first, father second). Also, the wife does not take the husband’s surname.

What do you mean? Is it going too far to preemptively pardon the Death Corps? They are such nice people! Pardoning just in case, I’ll take no further questions.

We prefer the term “public”

My wife, like my WiFi, is a mesh.

Nah, it’s missing the “rapey” connotations

There’s a saying in Spanish that goes “prometer hasta meter”. It’s very fitting, but I don’t know how to translate it in a way that doesn’t butcher it. Any help?

I thought the killing WAS the warning.

My opinion, also insignificant, is that those who can’t work remote rarely work when in the office. If somebody doesn’t work, management has to intervene, whether they are in person or remote doesn’t matter.

Man, I sure hope somebody does something about it.

Is this for personal or professional? I have a small server (few TB) and I’m amazed the immense amounts of data some people hoard for fun. I always thought it was mad to keep movies, until I tried to get the original lion king on my native language and decent quality and it took me days to find. Won’t delete that one
