I don't know about facebook but uBlock Origin blocks ads on instagram web just fine.

Not just cold, but also wet, dark and grey. Yet somehow we're the happiest country in the world. Go figure.

Tämä olettanee, että sama sähkökatko vaikuttaa sekä kyseessä olevaan päiväkotiin, kuin myös vesitornin pumppaamoon joka sekin todennäköisesti on varustettu varageneraattoreilla.

Tuntuu, että tähän on jokin tosi yksinkertainen selitys, mutta ei vain tule mieleen.

EDIT: Artikkelissa sanotaan, että 'HSY, eli Helsingin seudun ympäristöpalvelut suosittelee välttämään vessan vetämistä sähkökatkon aikana.' Linkin takana tämä perustellaan sillä, että jätevedenpumppaamot tarvitsevat sähköä toimiakseen, joten vedenkäyttöä ei suositella ei veden, vaan viemäreiden takia. Jos nyt et sitten vedä vessaa nupista, vaan sen sijaan kaadat ämpärillä vettä, niin sehän meni hienosti sitten.

Sitä itsekkin ihmettelin, että mistä se vesi niihin ämpäreihin saatiin. Kyseinen päiväkoti kuitenkin sijaitsee merenpinnan tasossa, joten vesi todennäköisesti tulee vesitornista, joka tuskin on saman sähkökatkon vaikutuksen alaisena. Ajattelin, että saattaahan joku kuvitella vessanpöntön tai veden ylipäätään vaativan sähköä toimiakseen ja olettaa, että jos valot ei toimi, niin ei vessanpöntötkään, mutta jos siitä huolimatta on hanasta täyttänyt ämpäreitä, niin..

Siksi tämä lanka.

Kyllähän se yleensä tulee painovoimaisesti lähimmästä vesitornista.

I don't quite understand the significance of the perceived level of power in this context. Shouldn't it be acceptable to criticize virtually anything you disagree with? I get the sentiment, but it seems to break down when you consider the edge cases. To me, it sounds like this would justify the most underprivileged individuals acting poorly towards everyone else, while someone like the president couldn't criticize even the most fringe extremists.

Punching up is good, hurting others isn't? How does that work?

I'd lead by example but I don't try and push my values to others.

Personally I prefer Burger King over McDonald's. Haven't been since the first BK opened in my city.

It's Apple I'm talking about

I havent been going to gym or meditating for few months and my anxiety is now the worst it has been for years so there's that.

Why? Even without self-driving, it's still an electric car, and there's quite a bit demand for those nowdays which should be a good thing, right?

Well, I'm the first to admit that having to live years without internet, though probably good for my mental health, would still be quite undesireable and I'd be willing to trade a lot for that luxury.

Even in the ideal world you're imagining, things have to come from somewhere. Food needs to be grown, houses need to be built, energy has to be produced, and a whole lot of different kinds of items need to be manufactured. None of this happens unless there are motivated people doing it, at least not until we automate literally everything. You can't just abolish the entire system this is all built on and expect that to resolve all the underlying issues. Capitalism as it's currently practiced no doubt has its flaws, but of all the economic systems we've tried so far, it seems to be the least bad one. That doesn't mean you can't address the flaws in it, but I'm not sure the nuclear option is the correct way to go here.

I feel like when most people say "end capitalism," they don't actually mean it literally but have a much more nuanced view they just don't express very well. Alternatively, some might even be falling into monothink and just believe that one thing is the cause of all issues, sometimes even losing focus from the actual problem and putting all their effort into just hating the people thought to be at fault.

..and replace them with what? I mean, it's a nice fantasy that's there's abundance of everything, nothing costs anything and we're all just dancing in a circle singing kumbaya happily ever after. However, if you really want to live in a world like that, then you need to come up with some system of economy to produce this abundance. Now you're just listing things you want to get rid of but you're giving none and I literally mean zero suggestions how to get there.

You first say it's not something that can be improved and then you list a bunch of ways to improve it. This is exactly my point.

I already have a good set of headphones. I don't want to buy new ones or adapters, especially when I can just buy a device that they can plug straight into

The lack of headphone jack is the sole reason I went with Samsung XCover 6Pro instead. Shame really, because I'm the kind of person who uses their device for +5 years, and prefer fixing stuff myself, but when Apple removed the headphone jack I made a decision to never buy a device without one if there's an alternative with it and I'm still sticking with that. I bought an "outdated" laptop aswell because the newer model didn't have USB-A, HDMI or a card reader. Ironically the most recent models now do.

What in their post/comment history indicates that it’s being asked in bad faith?
