It does sound horrible but it gives me hope. I hope that one day we can hold them accountable for what they’ve done and reunite these children with their Ukrainian families.

The Nazis were pretty detailed about documenting their many crimes in the Holocaust. This documentation was a tremendous boon to the investigations and prosecutions of Nazi war criminals.

Sure they would. Interest is based on economic growth, not lifespan.

Then it’s no longer vegan.

If you could live 25000 years you wouldn’t need to earn a billion by working. You could invest a single dollar at 1% interest and it would only take 2083 years to grow to over a billion dollars.

This isn’t butter, this is one type of butter fat. It’s missing the milk solids, proteins, and other molecules that contribute to butter’s smell and taste.

Maybe this person’s job is to watch and react to TV shows and they’re tired of the emotional rollercoaster of Kdramas and just want to watch some Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood.

In popular music for sure, but not other genres. Have you tried listening to opera?

Governments only care about one thing: votes. And not all votes, just the ones that got them elected.

Don’t forget to paint over those cracked weld joints!

Ideally anyway. Government interference can always screw it up and create barriers to competition.

Where I live (Ontario, Canada) on-peak electricity prices have pretty much exactly kept pace with inflation over the past 20 years, so in effect electricity costs have not gone up.

Off-peak prices have crept up more than that but solar power doesn’t help with off-peak generation at all. Wind turbines do produce more at night but we’ve had government subsidies to encourage building wind power capacity and those subsidies result in higher wholesale prices for that power (actually above the off-peak prices consumers pay).

As prices go up it becomes more attractive to build more generating capacity. When capacity goes up prices will come back down.

Sanctions were never about making it impossible for an adversary to buy stuff. Their main purpose is to make it more expensive.

Remember when Russia traded a bunch of Mig fighters to Iran for Shahed drones? Russia got fleeced in that deal!

Yes, just watch out for the snakes and spiders. Luckily the saltwater crocs are only in northern Australia!

I didn’t say anything about low intelligence. That’s your uncharitable reading of my claim.

No worries! I don’t think you’re a jerk! Your landlord is a jerk for not providing a dishwasher!

I don’t have a garbage disposal. I’ve never even seen one in real life. I think they’re just not a thing in Canada. I’ve only heard of them from TV shows (where they always seemed extremely dangerous).

Definitely get a dishwasher. They also tend to use way less water than hand-washing.

The Dunning-Kruger effect. CEOs (especially ones who joined the company long after it was successful) really don’t know how to do the job of most of their employees. Their lack of knowledge of those jobs leads them to vastly underestimate how complex they are.

At the same time, CEOs (hopefully) know how to do their own jobs which leads them to a more accurate assessment of AI’s ability to do the job: a total farce.

In truth, AIs aren’t likely to replace most jobs in any case because it’s all a house of cards.

We’re still talking about a video game company right? What the fuck dude! You (and anyone upvoting you) ought to go for a walk and reflect on your priorities. I’d further strongly suggest seeking out some mental health support.
