A line from Rage Against the Machine's "Darkness"

They say they'll kill them off, take their land and go there for vacation

Death threats are not 1A-protected free speech. So terrorism charges against those making the threats, yes?

/we all know the answer to that question

This wouldn't surprise me

The sunflower ones are the best, in my experience.

sorbet (often pronounced “sherbert”)

Sorbet and sherbert also called sherbet) are actually different. Sorbet is just fruit puree with sugar and water as needed. Sherbert also contains dairy, which adds fat and gives it a richer texture.

You still sleep at night and have businesses open during the day. It's just that the numbers displayed on the clock are different when this happens. Maybe standard business hours are 2-10 or 14-22 instead of 9-17 (I advocate 24-hour clock instead of AM/PM).

Yeah, the number on the clock is just a number. Does it matter if it says 12 or 6 or 20?

That said, if we were going to a universal time zone, I would definitely get rid of AM/PM and do 24-hour clock.

"Us vs them" mentality.

Would a roof manufacturer specifically only sell dark roofing materials? Why would they not also sell lighter / reflective materials? This seems like a fucking stupid way to run a business.

Where do we draw the line with what is/isn't coercion? "Wage slave" is a commonly used phrase for a reason. Most people face the threat of homelessness and starvation if they don't work.

But this gets a little philosophical. I'm going to interpret it to mean: "labor standards and practices that are considered unfair by developed western nations." Unfortunately this is pervasive and many common products fall under this.

100% agreed. Ethics won't win this war. It's all about cost and convenience. Most people are looking at their personal bottom line.

This makes an excellent argument for pursuing lab-grown meat. I do just fine on plant-based meat alternatives and traditional plant-based proteins (e.g. beans). But some people have allergies or other conditions that make this more difficult.

If you really want to gag, look up ventilation shutdown. It's a method used to mass-kill chickens, e.g. in the event of a disease outbreak. It has also been used on pigs.

The entire animal-ag industry deserves to fail.

This seems like the basis of Altered Carbon.

Israel lost the PR war. Everyone needs to just accept this and just move the fuck on rather than continuing to dig in their heels. Defending genocide and trying to suppress opposition is a really bad look.

Watch: hockey

Play: eh I don't know, I'm not very good at sports

In a row?

They just cry so hard about people not working harder so that they can afford to be parents in increasingly-difficult economic conditions.

I saw a news clip about "stay at home sons." The underlying complaint was very clear: they were upset that these men weren't out there starting families. I'm not linking it, but you can look up "Tomi Lahren"

Better get to work laying cable.

Light in a fiber travels much more slowly than in vacuum — light in fiber travels at around 67% the speed of light in vacuum

I'm a complete laymen when it comes to this, but this sounds like it would pertain to latency rather than bandwidth. I expect that fiber would have a much higher data capacity than satellite.
