In short: They’re not. They’re basically guessing at this point for anyone under 50.

Not only that but anyone under 50 who they do reach is the type of person who doesn’t use an ad blocker. In other words, iPhone users and the ignorant.

Depends on the family. In my family we give two shits.

In the past he’s said it takes him six or seven flushes to get anything down.

Stealing political yard signs? No.

Marking up political yard signs? Yes.

On my way to vote today I saw a trump sign that had “FELON” and “RAPIST” graffitied on it. That’s a much clearer message than if there were no sign there.

It was quite respectful, actually… It still very clearly said, “Trump/Vance” it was just given some flair and it wasn’t even untrue 👍

It’s probably just full of unplayed Steam games.

The death penalty should be reserved for people who absolutely will continue to commit great crimes (e.g. murder) even after they’re imprisoned. Example: A crime boss that issues orders to have people murdered via visits from their lawyer.

Someone like that–even from within prison–has too much of a negative impact on society to be allowed to live. You can’t take away their basic rights (like the right to a lawyer) so the most humane thing to do would be to end them as peacefully as possible. Otherwise you’re going to allow them to continue committing crimes, racking up victims, and degrading society as a whole.

A convicted pedophile rapist will be incapable of committing that same sort of crime as long as they are imprisoned. Hence it’s not necessary to execute them.

Red Pepper + Onion + Minced Garlic has been my favorite veggie pizza for decades now. The sweeter the onion the better.

Green Pepper + Onion is a great fallback if red pepper isn’t available but you’ll want to go with garlic cloves instead of minced.

Well, they put my Low-Poly Rose Twist Vase in the background so it seems legit 🤷

There’s so many things that went wrong at Boeing, not the least of which is a lack of technical competency in upper management. However, this is how capitalism is supposed to work: Old companies make mistakes or become too big/inefficient and die while new ones rise up to replace them.

The regulations surrounding aircraft should be all that’s necessary to ensure their safety… If Boeing dies that will mean loads of opportunities for new competitors to spring up and replace them.

You can’t rely on a market with only two players for long; let Boeing die and break up Airbus if they abuse their resulting monopoly. If necessary, subsidize competition and treat the existing monopoly as a hostile player until there’s real competition.

You may think, “but airlines are too big to fail” and to that I say, “bullshit!” There’s a million ways to make safe airplanes and just as many ways to improve how Boeing was doing things. The short term will likely suck but the long term will leave us better off.

Why would crickets end such an event? They’re just crickets… They’re only annoying late at night when you’re trying to sleep and there’s one in the house you can’t find. They’re not even that unsanitary.

It sounds like a lame D&D cantrip or something… “Nobody cares, Leena! I cast crickets!”

Then again, the event itself was vastly more lame and deserves crickets… And a pack of hungry anoles released at the same time 👍

You ask the mainstream media about this event and you get…

…

Crickets

Even sooner: When a car leaks oil onto one of these roads will that oil subsequently become radioactive for quite some time?

Water isn’t as much of an issue because H20 will evaporate, break apart, and diffuse out into the wider world pretty fast (so diluted I doubt it would matter… Since it’s radium, not uranium). Oil, on the other hand will stick around for a long ass time and slowly work its way out into the surrounding environment.

The same is true for all the pollution/particles from tires.

It’s pretty much the same stuff that goes into normal roads it’s just a contaminated variant.

While annoying, it’s not that big a deal. I mean, you chose to run Windows (or someone at your company did) which means “lean” or “efficient” were never really serious concerns from the get-go.

If you want a lean OS that’s super efficient in terms of disk space you go with some form of Linux or a BSD. Windows would never even be a consideration (which is another reason why Linux market share on servers is so, so much larger than Windows).

A pretty decent 1TB SSD costs $60. That means 9GB costs about $0.54. It’s even less if you use the old style, spinning rust disks.

Subtract the number of scammed people from that total and you’ll have your answer 👍

UK: “We know that you’re about to be swallowed up by rising seas due to global warming so… Enjoy your freedom! Not our problem anymore 👍”

Reminder: AI does a fantastic job at generating images of anime characters. It does not do a good job of generating images of anime characters in the specific way that you want 95% of the time 🤣

Nintendo: They better not emulate games in there!

Age discrimination is bad.

Anyone care to guess how long before that island is completely submerged due to rising seas?

Doesn’t exactly seem like a long-term base.
