The worst part is specifically so the 30 year old doesn't go to jail. This is a legal loophole for adults to have sex with children.

"Am I just in a weird bubble where 95% of the people in my life are politically and philosophically dipshits?"

Yes. You are absolutely in the wrong places talking to the wrong people. It sounds like it is rubbing off on you.

This is beyond stupid. The writer states that helmets don't protect from getting hit by cars, so they don't work. Once you are hit by a car it's pretty hard to stop your head from bouncing off the car or the pavement. It greatly limits the kind and severity of head injuries you can get.

If you don't want to wear one then don't. Just don't write articles that pretends helmets are not useful pieces of safety gear.

Looks like someone found the secret to Coors light

Everyone will live long enough to regret this. Matt Gates will show up in a thong and a gas mask to protest something and the votes won't be there to bring things back the old rules.

It's a total lack of the concept of scale. I've moved servers like this, but when decommissioning them. Things are different when running a corporate data center than when moving a home lab. He doesn't grasp the difference, because he doesn't understand the scale.

Running and moving one computer is different from 150k of them. Hooking them back up the the network without a plan or documentation must have been a challenge.

So this is exactly what the article is about and up to -4 f heat pumps are more efficient.

If your the son of an hvac guy maybe your information is based on older installed units. I had a heat pump installed in my fathers home in the northeast ( non coastal) and I was shocked it ran well all year. I had heard the some rumor that you had.

Technology advanced and facts change.

I remember how the Muller investigation and report was fully dodged. I'd give him good odds on getting out of this fully or with a punishment that means nothing to him. I hold no hope for accountability for the rich in the US.

If he gets off that will gives leeway for everyone else to get off as well, This is an all or nothing case.

This is going to absolutely devastate Florida. They need as many people as possible to do work, simply not enough workers live in Florida to rebuild it after a massive weather event. Anything that prevent workers from entering Florida means anyone working in Florida can charge more.

This may actually sink Desantas as a presidential candidate. There are more storms on the way. a slightly damaged house can become unlivable if subsequent events.

I have found this to be true. The current pope is doing a lot of work to bring Catholicism into the modern age. Starting with acknowledging and addressing in material ways the history of abuse.

There is going to be , or should be , a full on schism in the US church. The parishioners I practice with are more for the Republican Party than for the pope. They basically are waiting for him to die and ignoring doctrine that does not match ‘how it used to be’ Ya know with all of the sexual abuse and bigotry.

No. But enough came that Lemmy is now a vibrant place.
