OfCourseNot

So the bad guys here are the ones preventing others to use their research… right?

I don’t think anyone is asking for perfection just basic human decency, but I guess that’s like asking for a thousand talking unicorns in politics.

Don’t be fooled, taxes are just a way to extract the fruit of the poor folks’ labor and give it to the rich and powerful. Always have been, since their inception. Not just in America, here in the (highly idealized by lemmy) EU I cost my company 3200€ a month, 1850€ go to my bank account and 1350€ to the government, plus up to a 21% vat from the things I purchase. Amazon pays literally 0€ in taxes.

I always thought that about Jessica Fletcher. Too many people dying around that woman.

As I said I never put it in my cv, because I know what it implies. In my country we have a similar thing with English proficiency, everyone would put ‘mid level English’ which actually means ‘barely able to order at a restaurant while pointing to things with your finger’.

I mean I’ve never put it in my resume and I work better in a healthy environment, but under stressful and chaotic circumstances I perform much much better than most.

My secret: I’m always super anxious, you can throw all the chaos you want my way and it’ll barely move the stress-o-meter needle a bit.

Was it the smarter cop that thought the inscription was a lie? Or was it the dumber cop that just couldn’t read?

On a note I’ve had a scale similar to the small one for like twenty years, mine still have the lid and all. Batteries last forever. 10/10 would recommend.

The only realistic option is to try and change the stance of one of the two that can win the election

How would you propose to do that while also offering said party an unconditional vote? I’m not American, but if you have an answer it would be useful here too. Parliamentary systems end up pretty much the same.

Right? It’s just a shiny conductive plastic.

There is, or was, tho.

You are just rejecting reality then. You’ve said YouTube or other big social media to be the ‘virtual town squares’ but they are not, they are virtual malls. Also real life town squares can have rules imposed by the town council too.

They have plenty of other places to go with their content, some platforms aren’t for them and that’s ok. But they don’t want to express themselves shouting from a soapbox in the town square, they want to sell their content in the mall and these particular malls just don’t sell that kind of product.

I don’t think freedoms are opposed here. Creators have the freedom to express themselves that freedom just doesn’t force anyone to give them a platform. They can use their own or another one that’s willing to host their content, which there are many, and then if they, creators or platform, are legally punished it would be a violation of their freedom of expression.

There is not a fundamental right to use other people’s platform for your expression. That’s not what freedom of expression means.

I think the other commenter was talking about the lady in the picture.
The song is a popular song a bit older than great big sea. Edit: the song starts at ~1:09

This is a fuse box, with a flathead you should be able to open it and/or pull a small tray with the fuse itself inside. You Brits do your electrical wiring with ring-shaped circuits and put a fuse in every outlet.

This kind of outlet is intended for things you don’t unplug and a socket doesn’t make sense, usually boilers, ovens, stoves, ACs, alarm systems as already commented…

Take this with a pinch of salt, I’m not a programmer just a nerd that likes those kind of things. I tried them years ago first swift (I think it was in version 2) and a couple years later rust, and while both are great I found swift makes it easier to write clear code you’re gonna understand and like when you come back to it. Rust was better I think with concurrency (at the time), you’ll catch everything at compile time, but they talk about interoperability with c++, so this safety will be lost since most code interfacing with c++ will be unsafe.

And that the things they eat are the result of natural selection only.

Meowdy pardner!

‘Train of thought’ lol the man’s never had such a thing. Maybe hyperloop of thought.
