Well said. I also grew up in a ‘rightoid’ family and can confirm.

I would also add that they tend correlate wealth as a sign of intelligence and hold wealthy people in the highest esteem.

They also try to emulate wealthy people via conspicuous consumption, creating an outward illusion of wealth and success. I have a family member on section 8 who buys luxury goods to lord their ‘success’ over their friends and neighbors. It’s absolutely mind blowingly insane.

Max Power?

I guess I start making donations to the post office by becoming a stamp hoarder?

This, I was also a hiring manager in sciencey fields. We also verified education, even with a robust job history. I share the same sentiment and could not embellish on my resume because it’s pretty hard to lie about technical expertise in science and engineering. Also, the labs I’ve worked in have very expensive instruments, not a good idea to ‘wing it’ with those things.

Obligatory fuck airbnb

Are there tutorials on how to do this? Should it be set up on a server on my local network??? How hard is it to set up? I have so many questions.

Could always get back at that asshat by donating your Tesla to PBS or NPR (assuming of course you could afford it).

But the social media research I did says Vitamin A is the natural way to build up immunity! /s

Snake oil sales persons everywhere. Supplements should have been regulated by the FDA from its inception.

I suggest you enjoy your placebo effects and take a physiology course. (You can verify that this is the placebo effect by studying and doing research, but I won’t link how to do that for you, I know that’s unkind of me to do)

Go peddle your snake oil elsewhere.

OP, go see a medical doctor who knows more about human physiology than some snake oil sells person on the internet.

It’s possible to still track speed using a video feed instead. You just have to know the distance between two static points within the videos frame. Time naught = passes first static point, time final = passes second static point.

Velocity = distance / time

Although I’m not sure how or if this would impact the battery life of the device.

Proof that our sun is at the center of the universe and how IMPORTANT humans are in the universe

Am I the only one who sees this guy?

Current owners that can afford todo so should donate them to PBS, NPR, or Wikipedia! He’d hate that

I’ll be the one dressed up as, acting like, and quoting Rodney Dangerfield from caddyshack.

I believe there are some fallacies in your statement that someone smarter than myself could probably point out.

Just as a thought experiment, let’s look at the following scenario. It is entirely possible that we are already paying for this as consumers. Most municipal services, such as waste management/recycling services, are subsidized by local governments to reduce costs for their residents. In addition, companies that donate clothes to other countries ( countries that really don’t need our clothes ) most likely would be non-profit companies. Their tax exempt status costs us more. Granted, this is all just hypothetical.

My assumption, because I trust my government for the most part, is that someone who has greater knowledge of these topics/costs, has calculated how much it actually costs the taxpayers. It is entirely possible that these textile manufacturers could inadvertently be subsidized by the government (your money).

This hypothesis could probably be further strengthened by examining the markup prices from clothing industry, since quality and price do not seem to be correlated in that industry, at least in my experience.

Expensive brands will probably continue to market to people with more money and budget target/walmart brands will do what they do best, and market to lower income consumers.

(Edited for clarity and punctuation)

All the stuff mentioned above

Basic biology he says? I’m just gonna leave this here
