OfCourseNot

Who’s an aerodynamic doggy? you!? Yes, you are!

You could’ve made this ‘meme’ with, literally, any service or product, couldn’t you?

Wasn’t the python convention to use spaces (4 iirc)? Which is just plain wrong imho.

I understand the joke, mate. My comment was about the l word, see my answer to the other commenter (so I don’t have to repeat myself or pollute the thread copy-pasting it).

I mean the word ‘libertarian’ doesn’t mean what op, or (most) Americans, think it means.

Not an exhaustive list, but someone’s NOT a libertarian if they’re a bigot, they ‘back the blue’, defend or support not only billionaires but any other kind of exploiter (this would include ‘employers’, landlords, investors… and anyone profiting from other people’s labor), enlist voluntarily into the armed forces…

The link is the site of an actually libertarian workers union.

Bit tired of fascists appropriating it, even if they smoke weed.

So if someone tells grok it’s April 30th 1945… would it self destruct?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Yeah it’s almost like they don’t care for children at all and the point is the invasion of privacy, control, and oppression…

No, we didn’t… our propaganda is top-notch, tho.

Well… kind of.

I don’t know what’s up with my fellow millennials in the comments. I do order food once or twice a week.

About the fees, there’s none if you order directly from the restaurant, and the apps/services that apply them (usually just one) take it out above a certain threshold, or looking into your email spam for of their ‘discount offers’, but the prices of the food are higher anyway (which I find more dishonest than simply charging a delivery fee).

Also, I only tip if it’s rainy or super-hot (the weather, not the food or the delivery person), because Europe.

That iPhone 8 (plus) was like 750. So like a hundred a year. I literally am the person than spends less on phones out of my entire social circle.

Edit: also I’ve had three android (not so) cheap phones—one handed down to me, previous to the iPhone 4, that I had for a few months. And my current and former work phones, provided by my company—and hated (still hating the current one) the hell out of them, utter trash full of ads and uninstallable spyware.

I ain’t no apple fan, but my old iPhone 8—which is now my sister’s work phone since one year ago—just received a security patch a couple months ago, eight years after it was bought. And yes I went with an iPhone 16, because only two phones in 14-15 years (iPhone 4, 8, and now 16) is something no other brand can currently compete with. Unpopular here, I know, but I don’t care about a jack port (my android work phone has one and its only function is to build up pocket dust), or sideloading (I don’t even ‘sideload’ much in my laptops, almost everything comes from the official repositories).

I really hope the phone landscape changes and, in six years or so, I can buy a proper FOSS phone, but I’m not holding my breath.

We probably kill insects just by walking, but it’s not reasonable to never move again to avoid that.

There’s this Hindu sect whose adherents wear veils, sweep the floor before them, and/or tread very slowly and carefully to avoid injuring, killing or eating any small insects. As you said, it’s about doing as much as you can, but if it were a competition they’d win for sure.

Who would build those robots? With which materials? No one is going into the mines or into a soul crushing factory production line if their needs are already met. If this survey were made to retail workers, for example, I bet it would be much closer to 100%. We aren’t getting ubi ever, not in our current society, because it literally would collapse in a few days without miserable, desperate fuckers that can’t afford quitting slowly killing ourselves to make the rich richer.

First, I cannot grow trees in my small rented flat. And felling trees and turning them into paper is quite a hard work, it’s only cheap at an industrial scale and it kinda fucks up the environment a bit. Paper used to be an expensive commodity (people would wrote letters like this).

The properties that make gold expensive are its limited supply, as you pointed, and the fact that it doesn’t degrades with time, which make it a great material to use to ‘store value’. It has some other interesting physical properties that make it useful, but those aren’t the main reasons of its price.

Paper has many uses as well.

People here saying single handle faucets must have much better ones than what we’ve got where I’m from, no fucking chance of getting the same temperature again after shutting it. And the middle of it is extremely sensitive, it goes from 10% to 90% in like the middle two millimeters, and I think the pressure of the hot water overcomes the cold’s so you have to turn a bit left and then right again to stabilize the temp.

For my shower, which is the one that matters most for me, I got a thermostatic one—you set the temperature on the right handle and the flow on the left one, and that’s it, perfect temperature forever. Even if someone flushes, which only happens when my sister is visiting because she doesn’t understand boundaries, it doesn’t change one whole degree for more than a second, only the flow is be affected.

As a side note my grandma’s bath tube some 30+ years ago (it had probably another 30 or more) had two handles for hot-cold, left and right, and then another two for the shower-faucet flow, up and down. It wasn’t as fine tuned as my modern one, but worked quite well. You would only open or shut without touching the proportion of hot/cold.

Japanese gooners instantly aroused.

Tin-lead solder is what you use to solder electronics. Don’t use it for pipes, tho, for that you want tin-silver.
