Shrinking sizes is only part of it. Every ingredient/component is getting cheaper, less durable, less nutritious. Some companies try to offer higher quality but most people can’t afford it.

Yeah, I’m here for a reason. It takes a lot of blocking/filtering too. But the reason I am here is my desire for “algorithmic complacency”. I like to spend some time mentally wandering.

I’m so glad this was algorithmically recommended. Thanks lemmings!

Yeah my microwave operates on a timer, not a clock

Just give us the confidence interval and stop updating. We will know better in January 2029 once it has passed by and been tugged by our gravity and the moons.

I do use soap but not anti bacterial soap, just dr bronners. But I really scratch with my finger nails. Anyway I don’t wear deodorant. I don’t smell until 2-3 days without a shower.

Some say they help but it’s a bit of a polarizing issue.

This sounds about right to me. I was awake for 7 days without sleep, and it took about 7-9 nights of >9 hours of sleep to feel normal again.

MIT OpenCourseWare might be close enough to what you’re looking for.

Stop withholding tax from paychecks. Pay quarterly and make a bunch of small errors. If a million people do this they will be so overwhelmed, that the only reasonable choice will be to tax the rich.

They’ve had a bunch of mass attacks by knife and vehicles. Guess what the CCP does?

Improve quality of life? No. Make chef knives harder to obtain? Yes Profile childless men and monitor them? Yes

When I was a scout we put lighter fluid in a coffee can, lit it, and kicked it around the forest. But at least we all learned how to stomp out a fire. We learned a lot of good stuff too. One time I got genuinely lost with my friend. We figured it out together. Things would terrify parents but we learned a lot through our independence.

I’m right there with you, but I don’t see a compelling reason why either should be banned.

The only person stealing is the one who circumvents the DRM and shares it. It’s not stealing to see or hear something.

7x7 is 48 square miles, and four times that is about 200 square miles (520 sq km). But the area would be 14x14 miles.

The rich don’t care about money, they care about capital. They want to own every house, automobile, factory, and natural resources. Money is a very temporary store of value so more assets can be purchased.

Once you put something out into the world, it’s no longer yours really.

I have a better idea. Define piracy as profiting off of the creative work of another without compensation. Piracy for personal use is theft only in the amount it was offered for sale. For torrenting it could be argued you have stolen 1 copy plus your seed ratio. However, lots of content isn’t even available for legal purchase, only subscription for viewing. Owning a copy of this content is not piracy because it did not interfere with the sale of the item (since it’s not offered for sale). Therefore, an act of media preservation is theft by this definition, but the amount or value of that theft is $0, because it’s not currently offered for sale.

I did not. Foolishly I got rid of my balance board after some years of no use.

If you can find an old working Wii Fit Balance Board you can use it as a very accurate Bluetooth scale.
