“China is the worst polluter on the planet and they need to do better”

“NO NOT LIKE THAT!”

Because unemployment isn’t really that low. When we talk about “people here now who could use those jobs”, we’re usually talking about people in dead end jobs that could use a career job.

So great, pull them into our elder care system, give them a career level up…now their old jobs are still unfilled. And while we’re super shitty as a country towards entry level service workers, we also as a country really want those jobs to be filled. So we’d need to fill that gap in the employment pool somehow.

It’s the “all your eggs in one basket” problem.

Just in case you misread the title (because I did at first), Namibia is explicitly not looking into other people’s pants now.

Why did it take until 2024? Humans being humans, I guess. Gotta go after some “other”.

While I agree with the sentiment here, this is pretty 1-dimensional. For one, US support of Ukraine actually has little to do with democracy and everything to do with national sovereignty. One nation with imperial ambitions invaded another nation without pretense, US provides aid to stave off that invasion.

Hypocritical given US history of imperialism? Sure. But it’s NOT imperialism under the mask of democracy.

Similar arguments apply to various points on this list. Supporting NATO is about maintaining a military alliance against common enemies, not spreading democracy.

The big neon Check Engine light is a nice cherry on top

Progressive tax brackets. This hypothetical tax is only on money earned over 10M/1M.

“In a gold rush, you want to be the guy selling the shovels”

Nvidia is the shovel-seller right now. A couple of AI companies will probably get huge, 99% will fail. But Nvidia is getting paid by them all.

But US paper sizes don’t tile nearly as well as metric paper sizes do, is the point

Commercial printers will print most everything on A0 paper, but since all metric paper is doubling or halving sizes with respect to each other, they can tile a bunch of print jobs into the same A0 paper and then cut them apart, saving machine time by turning a bunch of small jobs into one big job.

Or one less cup of coffee

Man, I knew fingerprint encryption was bad but that is nuts.

$9,000? Fucking seriously?

Antibiotics. Turned so many lethal wounds into minor cuts.

“Turn up the volume and listen to that engine purr”

Please be the story of the congressfolk that legalized raw milk, celebrated by drinking raw milk, and all got sick as a result…

Fuck yeah.

Honestly don’t even remember, but it was in my peak “know enough to be dangerous” days in college. I almost certainly didn’t have to go that nuclear to fix it, but that’s what I did.

Take 2 of Arch, after that wipe was completed, went pretty well. It revived an old piece of shit laptop for another few years before its motherboard gave out.

As far as in aware, not being a NY company isn’t the issue, it’s the fact that they have no evidence they can actually pay the full amount in the event that Trump doesn’t follow through with his obligations for the bond.

My first attempt at running Arch, I managed to fuck it up so badly that I had to write a script to write zeros to every bit of my HDD. Fun times.
