Here’s another: the human ear is phenomenal at determining where in 3d space a sound is coming from. Most animals can only determine direction and can’t really place a sound vertically. Watch what your cat or dog does when they’re looking for the source of a noise, it takes them a lot longer.

When you’re coming from a position of extreme privilege and you’re either a bit stupid or lack empathy or general social awareness being treated equally with “lesser people” (like women, brown people or people from particular religious backgrounds) can seem an awful lot like you’re being discriminated against.

Not as badly as you’d expect, modern compression is pretty quick using the lz*'s and you’re only expending cycles when you’re hitting swap

We joke but zram swap works wonders on low resource systems sometimes

This is the same guy that’s using his teenage son as a blood donor too though right? That’s the part I’m not okay with.

I mean, I’m fine with them pushing this misinformation. That’s just fewer of their audience who survive cancer and go vote.

Ah, gotcha. It’s just difficult to figure out what this does if you’re not already neck deep in configuring status bar JSON

Screenshots showing what this does in action would help a lot

Start leaving information about trains out for them and see if they bite

I rarely turn the sound on for video content on social media, the audio track is very rarely worthwhile

The weird cheese curdling around the pineapple ruins it for me. It’s less pronounced when the pie uses nothing but mozzarella but all of the US pizza chains use cheaper cheese blends. It also helps if the pineapple is relatively dry (no extra pineapple juice dripping all over the cheese to add extra acid) but a minimum wage pizza assembling human ain’t got no time for that when they’re prepping pizzas fast.

Propublica is funded by recurring donations from a wealthy couple. Common dreams is subscription and donation driven. Relying on the wealthy to fund free content isn’t sustainable at scale.

Because high quality content needs income to continue existing, and you generally get that income via a subscription or the people making your content run out of money and go get jobs.

Edit: just look at what’s happened to journalism over the last 30y if you’re having a hard time understanding why paying journalists and other writers is important. Very few high quality outlets have survived, and they’re largely on life support if they’ve not been bought up to push some billionaire’s politics.

Why take the rest of the planet down with us? Hack into the bioweapons labs and release those.

The scientific community would just collapse and we’d be worshipping cats as a world wide religion.

You’re a couple thousand years late on this one

This 👆 - you stop noticing that you smell when you smell all the time. Setting up tests is just avoiding the real solution which is an uncomfortably honest conversation.

Get him some of that crystal stick deodorant, it actually works until your armpit bacteria adjust to it. Usually you’ll get a year or so use out of it before selection grows exclusively resistant bacteria.

I had a housemate who was into Facebook health influencers at one point, absolutely nothing would reach him when we told him “you stink, you need to keep yourself clean.” We had to punt him, the BO was just one of the problems we had with him.

Oh yeah, that’s the cheap part when compared to medical care

Edit: imagine monthly premiums ranging from $700-1200 with an out of pocket (monthly) max spend of $16k+. Oh, and dental and vision are separate policies.

“The rapture started and I was sent back here, God really wants us to stop using fossil fuels”

Cuba, for medical and/or dental care I can’t afford in the US
