Do not skip on this. You can get ones that have a nice flat noise reduction, and you will be so thankful you spent the like $30 when your ears aren’t ringing forever.

Laziness is the true mother of invention. Almost everything has been invented by people who wanted to do less work.

After grad school I got sort of stranded in a small town and took a job as an insurance salesperson for a few months. Even that was too ghoulish for me and I became physically ill from stress and quit. I can’t imagine what sort of person could work in debt collection, hospital billing, or insurance denials for more than a couple of desperate months without quitting or doing something drastic.

State-owned corporations vs. corporation-owned state.

Door is less than guy

Yeah, this aspect of the movie drives me crazy, too.

Does anyone know how much nuclear infrastructure is in there?

Virtually all of it. The Pantex plant where the overwhelming majority of nuclear weapons are assembled and disassembled is in the Texas Panhandle.

Yep! Perfectly cromulent SSD. The ones people tell you to avoid are the weird “brand you’ve never heard of with a weird name DRAMless cheapo specials”

The real issue there isn’t actually the lack of dram, but the low quality components used, because it’s a super sketchy low end product. Once you get into recognizable brands and mainstream product lines, you pretty much can’t go wrong other than getting a bad deal which this isn’t at that price.

Go for it!

“oh sure but if it was a woman killing a gamer then you’d be fine with it”

Yes.

Looks like people were allowed to select up to two answers, but it also looks like they’re obfuscating the level of consensus and making the “no” votes take up a disproportionately large amount of the final visual graph size.

Gainax will continue to exist forever as the term “gainaxing,” for the only thing gamers apparently find attractive and non-woke: giant breasts that defy the laws of physics in their absurd movement.

This is the core concept behind all missile defense systems.

Effectiveness against lower range missiles is much lower than for longer range missiles due to the shorter timeframe involved.

Yes. Ever since the Samson Option was devised, it’s been a core aspect of Israeli foreign relations.

Yeah, this article is just marketing.

His unending anxiety about everything is such a mood.

Not a president, but Canada had a female PM for like 4 months in 1993.

What made them the best?

It’s operating as designed. The only thing that will shut it down is the end of American imperialism which will require the complete end of the US.

Opera (the company) sold off all stock in itself a few years ago to a number of Venture Capital and Private Equity investment firms, with the largest percentage of shares going to a Beijing-based firm called Kunlun Tech Limited.

One of their first moves in controlling Opera was creating OPay, a fintech company based in Nigeria. Weird ass decisions based around predatory financial practices are the name of the game for VC and PE firms, and you should absolutely never trust them with anything as they absolutely sell all your data to anyone who will buy it at any price.

It’s open source in the way that Android is open-source. It’s a corporation’s product that they allow people to contribute to and use freely because it’s advantageous to them. They get free labour from other companies and individuals, and they get to sneak their ad network and spyware into every single alternative browser that’s based on chromium.

Open-source software is not inherently good or based just because it’s open-source, just like a Chinese company isn’t inherently good or based just because it’s based in China.

Microsoft has similarly used the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish model to kill tons of alternative software, and Google has done the exact same thing with Chromium. It’s killed off every alternative browser aside from its cousin Safari and Firefox. Everything else but for the small handful of Firefox forks like librewolf are just Chromium with some UI changes and possibly built in extensions.
