They do. Nobody reads them

I know this is the least important one on there, but I don't get this thing lately where people talk about "staying hydrated" like it's some big challenge they have to put effort towards. Like... get thirsty, drink water?

Asking a bunch of random Internet posters on Lemmy, who know nothing about property speculation, land management, investment in general, or especially your country, while providing very few specifics about your plan, is not going to yield useful advice.

Uh. Okay.

And George Soros being some kind of secret mastermind is also a right wing fever dream. Democrats wouldn't have any interest in doing such a thing

This is so vague it means literally nothing at all

As though Lemmy, or any other vote/like-driven social network, hasn't been that from day 1?

Infinity to one, and lemmy is taking that shit way too seriously

The question is not really whether the software will be "better." In most cases, you only compile from source if you have a specific situation where you need, or think you might benefit from, some specific non-default build option. Or if you don't trust the provider of pre built releases for whatever reason.

There are two thresholds that matter: "rich" is where you no longer have to really think much about money on a day to day basis, and "wealthy" is where you no longer have to work for a living. Both thresholds depend on your expenses and the lifestyle you're looking for, I guess

People on Lemmy will believe literally anything you tell them as long as you make it about a corporation or billionaire.

The example in the OP is very obviously food grade plastic, specifically engineered for those use cases

1. this will save precisely zero lives
2. you ignore the broader impact of allowing brazen broad-daylight murder to be endorsed by the public under any conditions. It is not just this one life
3. insurance is a mess and I am sure this guy was a dick, and that UHC denies plenty of claims that should be accepted. But at risk of pointing out the obvious, an insurance company that never denies any claims will go bankrupt immediately, and would therefore result in many more deaths since nobody would be covered.

As large as Walmart is, it is still absolute peanuts compared to the scale and (especially) dynamism of global production and consumption as a whole. Global supply chains have to change much faster and in arbitrary ways, compared to the centralized chains of something like Walmart, which in turn is also still subject to the external pressures of competition -- even just hypothetical competition based on some hypothetical course of action is a powerful constraint.

Lots of reasons, but here's one:

Because one of, if not the main purpose of money is to provide a decentralized way of transferring information about economic needs and capabilities. Without that mechanism in place, the only way of determining where goods can be created and where they need to go (a massive problem that it is a daily miracle we don't generally have to deal with) is by an overbearing authoritarian state.

There's no way to even attempt to answer your question without the actual code

There's no rack mount server there. I see a UPS, switch (network and Nintendo varieties), PS4 and mini PC

Sure, I guess, in the same way that all the water in your body was once dinosaur piss

Contract killers don't really exist, and even if they did, it's obviously not covered by the legal system, so, you do.
