They do?

Anti-immigration comes in part from , which is not a liberal view. Opposing immigration from non-white countries while accepting immigrants from white countries is racism, and that’s usually more associated with conservatives talking exclusively about Mexicans.

Idk man. You go hang out on a cruise for a bit you will find some old people who have made cruising their entire retirement plan. Basically just staying on boats going from port to port until they die.

Which actually doesn’t sound all too bad. I’d think it’d get old after the first few weeks (I never heard Cupid Shuffle so many damn times in one week), but hey, whatever floats your boat.

That’s not true. They understand money. Even a little Latin. Like “Quid pro quo” and “caveat emptor” and “tangunt liberos inepte”.

The mean surface temperature of Venus is only 464C.

But, with 93x the atmospheric pressure of earth, water boils at around 300C.

So…what is it that makes it difficult to thrive beyond 100C? Is it strictly the temperature, or is it the properties of water at that temperature? If it’s the latter, I wouldn’t be so surprised.

Also keep in mind that photosynthesis was a genetic accident that just happened to work really, really well, and the ability to process sunlight directly into energy was what allowed microorganisms to move away from thermal vents.

That same genetic accident could play out in a different world. Or a different genetic accident that’s more suited to their environment. Or no genetic accident at all, and life never moves past small, very secluded regions.

eBay really has one of the best search engines around, IMO.

Once you know how to use parenthesis, quotes, and minus, you can build very precise queries.

2002, but it was Visual Basic. I got a fucking C in that class because I spent more time helping other kids figure out the assignment than spending time putting worthless clutter in my interfaces to the teachers standards.

Oh well. At least I learned how to write a GUI to track the hackers IP address.

At a certain scale that becomes impractical and you have to use CDNs and cloud compute, or you’re big enough to build your own.

Never saw this guy before but I like his style. Subscribed.

I’m not trying to imply that Meta isn’t in the wrong here…but for real, where are the parents?

Like…we’re nearly at the point now where parents of kids under 13 really can’t claim ignorance. My kid is in elementary school and I was chatting with other parents at the bus stop the other day as to how amazing it is that Pokemon is still around and reminiscing of Pogs and Slammers.

I had AIM and ICQ and IRC in middle school. Phpbb2 and vBulletin in high school. Livejournal, MySpace, and Facebook came shortly after. Hell, my reddit account is old enough to drive, let alone sign up for Facebook.

Parents of preteens today, IMO, have to hold at least some of the blame. We are first-generation internet immigrants, and our kids are native-born.

Did you get into a debate about wether jackdaws were crows, then put on Groucho glasses and defend your own point?

4th grade seems to be about the right maturity level to become a huge ICP fan, so it checks out.

Solar in the definition of “of our star, Sol”…sure. But all energy is celestial in origin.

I mean, the vast majority of our electricity (or at least fossil-fuel powered) is essentially “burn stuff to boil water, use steam to power turbine”.

Idk man. I’d put peanut butter on a falafel pocket long before I’d have a hummus and jelly sandwich.

Except chocolate hummus. That shit is a totally different category though.

For real I had a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon a while back. Went to a tool consignment store. Saw a full sized tablesaw with stand. Owner told me he’d give me $25 off if I could fit the whole thing in my Tiburon…and I did. And it wasn’t even hard.

Kraft American Pre-sliced bulk packs are the pinnacle of American Cheese. It’s actually diminishing returns anywhere after that.

Good American cheese is the really cheap shit.

The whole point of American cheese is that it’s barely cheese and more like a delicious coagulated milk-stuff sheet.

Gourmet American Cheese is some 1%-er bullshit.

I don’t disagree with you but dude people are sick of the politicization of everything and their operating system doesn’t even get onto that radar. They are ignorant and quite happy of it. Please let the pigs eat their shit in peace.

That said, it is quite telling that Microsoft apparently finds it more advantageous to have two divergent feature sets than to apply the change universally.

Brown chicken brown cow.

I’m sorry, they aren’t good at predicting?

My man, do you have any idea how modern meteorology works?

A ton of data gets dumped into a ton of different systems. That data gets analyzed against a bunch of different models to predict forecasts The median of al those models is essentially what makes it into the forecast on the news.
