Indeed, although I would say it’s a more broad lack of cognitive ability. Low empathy, low intelligence and low capacity for abstract and critical thought. All of these make them easy to manipulate.

Sadly, some of them have issues so severe that they will even reject their own children.

Luckily, this father was capable of letting the love of his child overcome.

Sometimes I think that someone should start some kind of religion to help manipulate them in a way that they love their children, neighbours and love peace.

Then I think, that Jesus dude already tried, but with mixed results.

Yep. The sad fact is that if there was no eclipse, she would have rationalized it differently and blamed something else.

Perhaps a storm, the full moon, the spoiled milk in her fridge, etc.

As a mobile user, I’m just stuck with the stock YouTube app.

I do miss Vanced :-(

I’m accounting for a domain name and sufficient bandwidth.

I figure 10 TB per month should be enough.

The $500 is a conservative estimate.

I often do miss the internet of the old days.

Hosting a modern day gamefaqs would cost $500 per year or so.

I guess a wiki would be easier to offer version control, links and images for the author.

Maybe that would be $1000 a year.

Yubikey also has usb-c versions with compliant plugs.

Honestly, I think for many countries it might require very far reaching constitutional changes to actually tax the ultra wealthy.

For the USA, an amendment was needed to introduce the income tax.

Another amendment might be needed to introduce a wealth tax.

And a legal distinction would need to be made between the property of the common man vs. the ultra wealthy.

That 14th house, yacht and the hundreds of billions of the billionaire currently enjoy the same legal protections as the owner-occupied single family home and that family’s meagre savings account and the car they need to get to work.

I don’t think you understand the difference between sustenance and worship.

Of course, generations of humans cooked without thermometers or thermostats. You could cook with the Rankine scale if you get used to it .

But let me just say, I don’t think it’s an accident France is both the originator of the Metric system and haute cuisine.

Advanced cooking is as much engineering as it is art.

As a metric person, I can confirm.

Indoor temperatures are basically 18-22 for most people most of the time.

15-25 covers the whole range of indoor temperatures that people with functioning heat or A/C would see.

For temperatures outside we commonly round to the nearest five:*

• -5 and below: very cold winter weather
• 0 cold winter weather
• 5 mild winter weather
• 10 autumn weather
• 15 spring weather
• 20 summer weather
• 25 beach weather
• 30 heatwave
• 35 and higher heatwave in the Sahara

The only thing I admire of the Fahrenheit scale is that it can round to the nearest 10 and still be a little bit more precise than Celsius with the nearest 5. And when discussing fever temperatures, Celsius needs half degrees and Fahrenheit does not.

But it’s an absolutely awful scale for cooking.

Rays against the abolition of time

If we are going to shed tears for the loss of culture, then the loss of Roman era bath houses and early Christian churches in Gaza is quite a bit more concerning to me than this painting.

This is why I don’t peel oranges.

With a sharp knife and some practice, it is easy to just cut away the skin.

One thing I have definitely observed over the years.

It seems only the left comes up with new ideas and so, even when they don’t have political power, they still move society forward.

And yes, there are backlash and temporary regressions, but overall, no free country seems to be moving towards old, conservative ideas.

For humanity, the only way seems forward. Towards the newer and better ideas.

I don’t think saving money and eating at home are conservative values.

Lots of liberals and progressives do those things, too.

Heck, poor minorities do that to an extreme.

Same here. I got older and richer and became even more left wing than I used to be.

But what is true, is that society is becoming more progressive faster than I am, so by the time I am 70, I’ll probably be a relative relic.

Waiting for SBF to respond to this.

They are probably eating everything they can find, considering they are living under famine. If there is a bag of popcorn in Gaza, they will eat it.

But I agree, this doesn’t look like popcorn to me.

RIP Navalny.

I remember him flying back from Germany to Russia after the poisoning. Watching Ricky & Morty with his wife.

Very brave, but incomprehensibly stupid.

If ever there was a person who had a justified claim to political asylum, it was him.

Congress, how does it work again…

Perhaps read up on how the US constitution actually works.
