It’s a pink tax but if someone is rocking fake nails why not double dip. Practicality is not their deciding factor.

Emoji are stupid and deserve Bitcoin. We don’t deserve either of these unintelligible pictograph shorthands. Alphabets exist for multiple reasons.

How the hell is a Judge a competitor with Google for Search?

Never heard of it. Can’t be too big.

That comes later but I like the energy.

Oh well. Youtube is useful as a podcast/streamer host now; no ads with sponsor block/ublock. Once that isn’t the case they (Google) will get network blocked.

No real loss to me. I tend to prefer local download/host for convenience. Most channels are chaff anyway.

It already exists in the corporate environment. Teams is a keystroke logger, it stores everything you do down to the microsecond in a plain txt on the C drive. This just expands that to everyone that uses Windows.

Windows is spyware now.

Wondering what happened to Thorium. If it’s not viable a link that can be shared will be beyond platinum.

Thorium was experimental last I heard, but far from unviable.

So looking at the article it seems to be against small scale traditional (fission/boiler) systems. Which are fair game. They were pretty much outdated over 50 years ago. I would be more interested in studies on dispersed Thorium Reactors which held far more potential as little as a decade ago.

Upvoted for the last sentence. Gun and weapon ownership represents the counterbalance of incumbent control. Current control should always be nervous of new powers and new powers should always have the ability to intrude. The lac will introduce a reproductive drift to the detriment of intelligence.

Probably closer to 10:1 or 15:1 in the cases that matter. But since the cases in fact wont willingly surrender the most likely outcome is a Ruby Ridge style stand off for most. Resulting in a body count that dooms national elections. Democrats aren’t stupid enough to endorse even for one term.

Guns are designed to kill that is why they are inherently political.

If I don’t like what you do, say, or are I can kill you. That is what guns do. That is what everyone wants.

If you don’t like that guess what you need guns too. That’s why arms dealers always win.

It’s why both sides are opposed to gun control. Gun Control means authoritarian governance, Your kids are sacrificed on the alter of incumbent Control (assuming Global Dominance 2011+).

Gods we aren’t even into the drift wars.

Yep I wasn’t hating on heat pumps. I was just curious why those states decided to go with HP rather than two stage gas furnaces, at that latitude band furnaces have a slightly higher efficiency(~3-4%), a much better price point (5-10k difference just for the equipment), and only a little worse emissions (given the local power generation facilities). The lack of existing natural gas infrastructure combined with the required upgrade to the electrical grid to accommodate EVs explains why incentivizing HPs is much more attractive to the state govts in the NE US. There is also the possibility that installing a hydronic system will be better for some of the older boiler system homes and HPs can be used for both hydronic and central air systems.

That said the existing NG system in the midwest means there probably won’t be as high a rate of adoption in states like ND, SD, MN, MT, and ID, even before you consider the political landscape.

For anyone like me wondering why NE states like Maine and Massachusetts are pushing them despite their cooler temps (and heat pumps poorer performance in said temps) it’s down to the lack of existing Natural Gas infrastructure and that heat pumps are still significantly more efficient and emissions friendly than the region’s legacy heating method: oil furnaces.

Just block Hexbear and Lemmygrad. The rest is only has a minor left pull, and there are even conservative communities popping up.

19.0 allows users to block instances. I mostly just block Yiffit, but you do you.
