Propaganda is really really effective and works really really well. Even on educated people.

Presumably the same forces that cause the rate of profit to decline everywhere. It's not anything new, it's just the latest step along the cut-costs-at-all-costs staircase.

Indict, but you're right. The international community has egg on its face from how it is treating Russia vs. how it is not treating Saudi Arabia. The parallels with the Saudi-Yemen war are many: it's an invasion of a neighboring

conflating "banning all independent media" and "banning a media outlet that repeatedly spreads lies" is the exact thing that the liars, hucksters, charlatans, conspiracy theorists all want you to do. Do you really honest

Call it paranoia but I see this "WD is amazing, Seagate is shit" sentiment everywhere, but the data doesn't back it up. Is this guerilla marketing by Western Digital?

This is proving my point. Look at the lap times on Laguna. https://fastestlaps.com/tracks/laguna-seca-post-1988 Most of the stuff around the 1:45-1:47 mark is a hot hatch, a grand tourer, or a muscle car. Seriously, yo

Hot hatches aren't supercars! The instant acceleration and drag strip performance means it's closer to something like a Dodge Demon than a Ferrari 488. That's OK, it's just not realistic to say it's something it&#x2

Weird, I saw people elsewhere in the comments mention heatshrink tubing being substituted with electrical tape. Definitely does seem like a weird thing to base an article on especially when Tesla does lots of other things wrong.

> literally a supercar for 55k~. Sorry but this isn't accurate at all. It's an electric muscle car. It goes fast in a straight line and that's it. It can't corner, it can't sustain the acceleration for long perio

Does Ford use electrical tape in lieu of heatshrink tubing?

I mean I get the idea and all, but considering half the internet runs on AWS is this even feasible? Your day-to-day internet use would be crippled. Wouldn't it be better to spend the effort on writing letters to politicians or better y

I honestly didn't even realize those were temporary, I've just always seen them.

The GP obviously doesn't mean that 1000+ ppm CO2 is toxic, they mean that the changes to the environment it would cause are less than ideal for humans to thrive.

I'd agree with you if we could do what we need with just forests. But unfortunately we can't. Some other form of reducing carbon is a core part of any long term plan. It's just bad enough now that forestry is no longer a vali

I think I get the worry and skepticism about geo-engineering but to be completely frank we've been (inadvertently) geo-engineering the planet at least since the industrial revolution, so I don't really think we have much of a choi

Considering there's pretty compelling research that ketamine can help people that suffer from depression and MDMA in conjunction with therapy helps those with PTSD, I really think we should take a very hard look at what drugs should be

Don't really follow your logic here, you're conflating prostitution and a "loneliness epidemic"? Prostitution is as old as civilization itself. Older, probably. I don't see rising prostitution as indicative of anyth

I wonder if there's a large enough market for a "decentralized cloud" along the lines of IPFS but for compute. And, yknow, actually working decently. Something where you could pay compute/storage operators for resources

I'm not even at odds with the idea that the US playing world police has done good for the world. I'm merely pointing out that when you allow anyone to be world police, you can't do that without some form of accountability. Yo

Feels like every day there's another one of these outages. Shame that everything is so centralized that there's a single point of failure that affects 3 of the biggest communication platforms around.

Interesting angle, but the US war machine has also trampled on the rights and freedoms of thousands. Look no further than Operation Menu in Cambodia, or the countless regime changes we funded in South America. Surely we could have our cake

Every day I see headlines like this and I think "surely soon enough it will get bad enough that people will support universal healthcare" or really any "socialist" policy. Every day I am mistaken. If people actually did

Yeah, same opinion. Shame they're shit, they were a consistently OK option for roadtrips that wouldn't upset stomachs, but this is pathetic. I guess I'm not surprised that no real consequences have come of it, but wow Subway

What scientists have been saying for years is that climate change will also result in more extreme weather events like this. People are right to say climate change is the cause.

One big question I have is why LPG isn't a bigger thing for cars. Regular gas and diesel engines can be (relatively) cheaply modified to run on LPG and indeed can often run on both. It's a cleaner burning fuel than both gasoline a
