I believe Trump/Stormy Daniels.

I'll take 'Violations of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act'.

Lemmy.ml has a whole bunch of swear filters.

Has it occurred to you that sometimes there's actual evidence backing up the things you ridicule?

You can go measure the acidity of rain in your back yard if you want.

The sunlight in NZ is far, far harsher than if you go a few thousand kilometres towards the equator, where it should be hotter. We have some of the world's highest rates of skin cancer. Are you implying that crisis actors are faking having skin cancer?

A series of such massacres against one people approaches genocide.

It honestly seems like these are questions that don't need asking.

You've provided no context about what you like and don't like, so you won't get any kind of a personalised response.

What are you expecting to get out of asking this as a question, that you don't get by simply going to Rotten Tomatoes?

Steel is cheap. Copper, zinc, nickel, brass and especially silver are rather expensive.

Many world coins up to about 10-50c are steel plated copper or similar.

Most of the world considers it unacceptable to have a coin that costs more to manufacture than it is worth, let alone have just the raw materials cost that much. Smaller coins have often been simply removed.

It's not clear, but I think they were referring to the version 1 Pi - the newer ones are much much much faster.

Being an SUV, it'll weigh 50% more than necessary. That outweighs almost any other sustainability considerations.

Musk said last week: “I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.”

Isn't he the world's richest person currently?

Winston Peters (NZ First leader) is a total alcohol, tobacco, and racing (horse, greyhound, whatever) industry shill. I doubt he exactly needed to be bought, but this is certainly part of his price for being part of the coalition government.

ACT (secular libertarian free market folk) probably mildly supported it, and National (general centre right; largest party) is probably much the same.

“Spotify already pays nearly 70% of every dollar it generates from music to the record labels and publishers

Sounds like the issue might be with the record labels...
