I’m skeptical of this point. Growing up Baptist, I was taught that temptation itself is not a sin because Christ was sinless and he was tempted in the desert by the devil.

“Manage to live”? Is that the standard for the richest country in the history of humanity? That’s some short sighted thinking. Are those “managing to live” saving for retirement? Can they see a doctor? Can they afford to have children? As f

“EV sales” includes plug in hybrids. I’m a big proponent of plug in hybrids as a good transition vehicle for those not willing / able to to full EV, but they should be reported separately.

I doubt they have the storage for all those discs. Won’t they just let everyone keep them?

They were able to rebuild… because the US funded it. The Marshall Plan, also known as the European Recovery Program, was a U.S. program providing aid to Western Europe following the devastation of World War II. It was enacted in 1948 and pr

The EU is pushing for (has already ratified?) rules against even pre-installing Apple apps, or at least making it easy to remove them. I’m certain that Apple, who sells their phones directly, will be able to keep the carrier bloat at bay. B

It seems like everyone in these discussions sees only two worlds: lawless hellscape of intrusive, data-stealing apps that permit freedom or “walled garden” of good apps that restrict it and users’ freedom. The truth, as always, is already s

Well, being the only country left with any manufacturing after a catastrophic world war is one major reason. Also, navigable waterways. Transporting goods by water costs 1/100th what it costs to transport over land. After the US establ

Many eyes have been batted over Russia’s erratic leadership. One one extended instance was called The Cold War. As for China, if you can’t hear the war drums being beat over the threat to Taiwan, get your hearing checked.

Sounds like Lukas is aromantic and asexual, which doesn’t preclude having meaningful friendships with any gender.

I’m a huge EV fan. My family has owned four over the past 6 years. That pedigree out of the way, I’ll give my cynical take: this will get rolled back by President DeSantis in a hot fucking minute.

They are lending their brand to Bookshop.org, which profits also from selling books (that’s how they can afford to stay in business). I’m a big fan of Bookshop. I just wish they could break into the DRM free epub business. Libro.fm managed

Is there an update to this story? The story doesn’t cite what law the NLRB claimed was violated, only that doing what starbucks did interfered with their ability to organize. The final paragraph mentions that the case is yet to be heard: &g
