My brother works in industry and has hired lots of Veterans. From what he says, the military tends to have paradigms that don't translate well to civilian work - like electricians.…

I remember a time when decreased murder rates was just a lie by the government. But we all know nobody's more trustworthy than the El Salvadorian regime, especially when it results…

It's more efficient because you introduce a middleman and ignore pesky regulations. Thank god we've discovered this important thing that's never existed in history and created so m…

I feel some irony it in being a video one has to sit through rather than crafting it into an actual article made of characters.

I can always access my email if I have a computer and internet. I cannot access my SMS without my phone. Which, with the sudden battery swelling...

People adapt very easily. If you were trapped on a mountain, you'd likely butcher a cow with the rest of your soccer team. Don't judge everything through the lens of plenty. If you…

Yeah, the random memecoins he issued and the NFC trading cards were meaningless to him. He's only invested in Truth Social and The Constitution. That's why he's in such competition…

I'm sure all those billionaires who paid Trump the $1m to grin behind him are dreading the impact on their groceries and upward mobility like the rest of us. Never forget that Trum…

Because they're wealthy enough to have separation between their 'existence' money and their 'power and status' money. Tank the country and they get to own a little sliver more of i…

It's a shame there's not just an embedded applet. Those were always popular on MU*'s websites in the 2000s. Shame that's not an automatic add.

I'm sure you'd be annoyed if poor people couldn't buy or use brushes, and their quality of live would decrease. Amusing that 'plastic=wasteful purchase" de facto in your mind (for …

It's much easier if you invest in observing the natural world that has had hundreds of millions of years to do the work, without the limitation of human intention.

But if we represent it as a percentage we can pretend it's relatively not a big deal and minimize their stranglehold on society.

Yeah, corporations are great because we have little other choice. And, soon, we'll have no other choice! Because they're the only reason free software exists, according to my Excel…

But what if businesses got benefits from society and tax money and were free to ignore the needs/desires of those who pay taxes and who society consists of? That seems just about r…

That's a fascinatingly obvious idea and I'd like to see data that supports it. I assume there must be some.

Yeah, it's a bummer the clearly defined statement is so overly detailed and abstracted. It's way easier to listen to some dude talk about going to a lot of Stooges shows barefoot a…

> Democrats tend to be authoritarian and pro-centralization of power. > Republicans tend to be anti-authoritarian and pro-decentralization. I can't imagine a time that this would h…

> If you removed health care from the equation Removing a defining characteristic to force data to fit your model surely isn't good science

A proton weighs ~10^-27 kg, so that's about 100 protons. I sincerely doubt we have masses that are quite that good - especially that which can take a high mass item (harddrive) and…

And the apparent state that, not only can they not get the thing made as proscribed in the amount of time - how do they make it robustly designed with mind for future use? They're …
