You can ... If people aren't tech savvy you can just serve everyone plain http and most people will ignore the warnings.

There is no ethical consumption in capitalism. The best you can do is try and make sure your primary contact points with the system are good but once you get more than a step or two into the food chain there will always be dirt.

Especially if you're going to the level of personal beliefs of executives. I guarantee you gave more money to a dozen people way worse than him before lunch today than he'll make in a year off your Kagi searches.

That site is geo-blocked in my region so I have no idea what it says but I'd just like to point out that

A: the USA actually exports a huge number of used cars so the average life of a car sold in the US will actually be longer than the average age of a car in the US.

And B: without a significant number of cars way older than 20 years old, there's no way for the average age to be 12 years old and only 24% be over 20 years old. So a bunch of that 24% have got to be 50-60 years old. Either one of the stats are wrong or a significant portion of cars are lasting way longer than either of us were guessing.

Also you can appreciate the experience more just because of the aesthetics of a product. This is a well documented phenomenon. If it's not your thing fine, not everyone has to like the same things. I find for example fancy dinner sets to be ridiculous. Doesn't mean that I think people who own them are dumb for liking them. I have friends who break out their grandmother's china for Thanksgiving. I'd never do that but it makes them happy so good on them.

Edit: whoever wrote that blog post really doesn't want any darned foreigners reading it. They not only block non American IP addresses, but also Archive.org, VPN addresses, and Google cache.

I'd 100% disagree. Aesthetics are hugely important, especially in things you use every day. It's dumb to go into debt for it or otherwise ruin your life over it but if you have to use it every day you might as well enjoy it.

Also 99% of cars not making it to 20 years old is an absurd thing to say. The average age of a car in the USA is 12 years. Vehicle sales per year haven't changed that much. That means about half the cars on the road are over 20 years old.

And a dining room set lasting centuries? Technically possible but like not if you actually use it every day.

Yeah I know Eritrea used to be the Ethiopian coast, just figured that they would have held on to part of it after the war either through military force or negotiation.

I've always found it odd that Ethiopia doesn't have any coast, they're a historic power and the coast is right there, you'd think they would have just taken a bit. Djibouti couldn't have been that hard to conquer. Or just a little piece of Somalia or Eritrea.

Yeah Somalia, the main source of piracy in the world, is mentioned not only in the article but in the little preview blurb also.

Nah I have some services running on unpublished domains and I get hit by brute force attempts at SSH logins all the time. It might not be sane but botnet gonna botnet.

They just rule it's within Colorado and Maine's rights to determine who's on their ballot. Like it is. Realistically this unfortunately probably helps Trump cause he was never gonna win either of those states and big bad liberals trying to keep Trump out plays great to the base and will get his supporters out to the polls.

I mean there's a lot of engineering, design, and art that goes into a car. And I feel it's kinda natural to admire a high performance machine. I'll admire a tractor or a train also.

How does it compare to refind?

Also a decent brand PSU will last and/or have warranty. My kids PC has a Startech PSU from like 2001 in it. I've used the same EVGA PSU in like 5 computers. Cheap ones die after a few years.

Pixel hardware is some of the easiest to get/best/cost effective with an unlocked bootloader.

Bro I hate to break it to you but there's way more CCP apologist tankies on Lemmy than Reddit. That you won't escape by coming here.

My man a 5 litre pot is not a large pot of chili.

Did you originally link Chinchilla butts haha?

But yeah if I go in to the post then click the link it works fine, but clicking the title from the front-page gives Chinchillas.

But Iowa gets well below 0f which is my point, people who say 0-100 encompasses outdoors temperatures well live in a very specific area.

One of those places was in the US haha

Yeah that's kinda a dumb argument, we don't cut any other body parts off to save on washing up time.
