Unironically me IRL. I switched to Bazzite from Win10 this year and it's been real smooth. I can't belive how easy the transition was.

Most gas giants are primarily lighter elements like hydrogen and helium. Nitrogen is also a light element, so having a nitrogen based gas giant would make sense. Plus then it's an easy to justify an atmospheric band of higher oxygen content conveniently forming an earth-like Nitrogen/oxygen composition.

Gonna suggest a kinetic sand table. The tabletop is glass and underneath there's a bunch of sand and a metal ball that rolls around drawing patterns. They're pretty neat.

At this point I'd argue that the US government is Israel's puppet.

Ex-Machina (2014). A tech billionaire recruits a young programmer to come to his remote compound to test his new AI android called Ava. The test is whether Ava can convince the protagonist that she's a real person, despite visibly being a robot.

Ava then proceedes to fuck with everyone, manipulating people into carrying out her escape plan.

It's a psychological thriller and it's quite good imo. It definitely has a lot to say about the dangers of AI.

Imo, the MBAs design is the RAM 1500. Huge profit margin, massive marketing scheme, dogshit engineering, dies exactly when the warranty expires.

Cybertruck is what happens when a ketamine addicted nepo baby ceo high on their own ego designs a car.

Oh shit he's dead dead. There ain't no way he's surviving that.

Trump is old and frail too! You'd think that a respectable news org like NPR would have spent even a little time covering the credible threats to democracy (and their own funding), and challenging the insane claims from orange man. But no, they had to go on and on and on about how Biden specifically was old and gave tons of credence and and credibility to Trump.

As far as I'm concerned, NPR bent over backwards to legitimize a madman who publicly declared his intent to destroy them multiple times.

I love PBS and I used to live NPR until they spent all of 2024 sane-washing Trump and endlessly bashing Biden. When Trump was on stage all but announcing his plans to become a Dictator, NPR was running a week long segment on how old and frail Biden was.

NPR markets themselves as unbiased public media, but take off the mask (and follow the money) and you'll quickly learn that its a news org for Neoliberal business leaders and noone else.

A certified hood classic for sure. I have one at home and one at work.

True, but even the most despotic feudal tyrants did not actively seek the destruction of the entire planet for money. It is the specifics of our current system that enables the most psychopathic people in our society to control it.

 

Howdy,

I just wanted to report this little bug. For the last week or two, all comments will automatically be sorted by Hot. Usually I set my default comment sort to Top, but no matter what I change the default comment sort to, it always sorts by Hot when I open a thread. Changing instances doesn't solve it either. If it's important to know, my device is a Google Pixel 7.

It's not a critical bug, but it's been annoying for me, especially since Connect is the primary way I use Lemmy. Love the app otherwise.

Thanks!

 

Here's a couple examples from my life:

  1. Safety Razor. I get a better shave and it's like $15 for 100 razor blades, which lasts me a couple years. Way way way better than the disposable multi-blade Gillette things, which sell 5 heads for $20.

  2. Handkerchiefs. I am prone to allergies, so instead of constantly buying disposable tissues, we now have a stack of handkerchiefs that can just be used a few times and then thrown in the wash. This has also saved me loads.

What about you?
