It's almost like you didn't read my post at all...

Electricity distribution/supply networks

It's not just the media that gets this wrong, but politicians (who should absolutely know better). The whole reason the grid is such a mess is because capitalist types come up with some fever dream for extracting more value from consumers, and then this is sold through the media as "more choice" when the reality is that there's literally no choice being made anywhere. You can't choose your generator, distribution network, or metering provider. You can choose your energy retailer, but the electrons coming out of your power socket are the same. Your smart meter absolutely does not allow you to save money, any more than Amazon sales do when they Jack up the prices immediately before said sale.

Taxes

Good god there's a lot of misinformation out there. In Australia at least, you almost certainly do not need to see a tax agent to do your taxes.

I am slowly switching back to Firefox since Google are nerfing ad blockers in Chromium. I'm switching to DuckDuckGo since their search results have become almost unusably bad recently. Unfortunately though, there it's no usuable replacements for the rest of the Google ecosystem as far as my use case is concerned. I'd even ditch Android if there were a reasonable alternative.

they are still based on Chrome or Firefox doesn't really matter, since they remove the undesirable parts of them.

Actually it does matter, since Google are killing off the ability for ad blockers to work with a new manifest specification in Chromium.

Eh, I use it as a learning experience to try be a better driver. Because I agree with the premise of this sub :)

You're the one who made the original claim, buddy. The burden of proof is upon you. I've made no such claims about the superiority of either connector here.

As a Spotify Artist, I bet I don't even see a single hundredth of a penny for somebody paying extra for the lyrics, either...

And even if Spotify did pay out extra for lyrics, I'm sure they'd find a way to screw my band out of royalties like they currently are anyway.

You've not even presented an argument; you've only made a statement that it's a worse connector. What are you basing this so-called argument on?

Lemme just check my state road rules.

Hmmmm... Now this is interesting!

It says right here in Article VI, Section 3, Paragraph 14 that you have no idea what you're talking about. Amazing!

I've broken it a few times in my younger years when I could flex hard on my fixie in steep gearing.

I stopped trying after a motorist pulled out from a side street in front of me and I slammed into the side of his car at 60+kph. Completely destroyed the custom forks I had commissioned for the bike so I could run a disc brake specifically to avoid that happening :(

Start and Back, respectively. Now it's "Menu" and "View"

...or possibly "hamburger" and "restore window to smaller size". Because that's logical?

So it's not actually a worse connector, then? Gotcha.

It’s a better standard, but a worse plug.

Say what now?

Academy series, by Jack McDevitt. Although there are more advanced species mentioned, they've all died off.

Alex Benedict series, by Jack McDevitt again. There's only two species of intelligences in this series, and they're of roughly equal status.

Yeah, same. It's also part of their mindset that "progressive = immature" which I've always found really confusing.

Yes, the idea that my taxes should be spent for the benefit of all is immature. Gotcha.

Look the dude just fell out of a window.

While in a plane.

After all, what is the sky if not an enormous window one should be careful to not fall out of?

I also love that all of the greatest Toyota car engines have had Yamaha heads.

Windows, by contrast, was built for descendants of the Intel 8088, period.

This is not quite true. Windows NT was built to support multiple architectures from the start.

The only way B is correct is if the people are launched as a pink paste from the forces resulting from the instant acceleration, and if the trolley also at least slows

The energy would come from the trolley.

Has the trolley come to a complete halt, or even showed down? If not, then either no energy has been transferred to the people and they just flop out, or we've just invented perpetual motion.
