The difference could be linked to a number of factors: Those with higher incomes often have more reliable access to safely drinkable tap water. They tend to work in indoor environments, where air-conditioning may mean there is less need to stay hydrated. And they may be more aware of the potential health consequences of high sugar consumption.

When you are the 99% and are sweating your ass off I think people are thinking more of a cold drink to cool down more than, "oh man I better stay hydrated". And a lemonade tastes ace compared to another glass of water. And if you have enough money to have door to door AC it only makes more sense that like other food related things, if you have the means to have better your going to likely have better.

But why must they also allow bigotry if they allow people to express who they are? That is the biggest load of shit. So if I say "I have a husband of X years," they must also allow someone to say a bunch of bigotry as a counter view?

Or if I say I like open source software they must allow the trolls that want to call me a dirty hippie and tell me to get a job so I can pay for software? And I agree everything is political, and ignoring it doesn't make it any less so.

The having to do something is the cost, because they have a perfectly good messaging app already, "why can't you just use that?"

And that cost is more on Apple's platform because Apple has been designing it that way since the beginning. It's the whole reason android users got a different color bubble, not because they had to, but it was a way to identify the person that wasn't using an iPhone and make them stand out. Making it almost unimaginable to switch to Android for youth who care so much about not being "out" of the group.

And Google has identified this, and put a lot of cringe-worthy effort into addressing it at their Pixel event this time around.

Well pre-RCS they routed android users differently because they were not compatible. Google did something similar, but in reverse, adding back things like reactions, etc. to make android users not feel like they were getting a 2nd rate experience.

Companies like Apple spent a lot to create a switching cost in almost every product. The "bubble" color is also a HUGE thing in the US, and is often times the sole reason for not wanting to leave iMessage.

I have heard "lint" or "delint"/"delinting" in terms of checking scripts for syntax errors and such, I have never heard it used in terms of deduping a filesystem, since that already has a term for it.

I feel like at least with American english people have taken a lot of liberties in how they spell a name and then want it pronounced.

And I first read it as Ra-sh, but also could see it as Ray-sh.

What did you do to "teach it"?

I just wonder if this happened before or after Alexander Acosta gave him (Epstein) a non-prosecution agreement keeping him out of federal prison and in a work release weekend sentence in a county jail? And why knowing this, and being an "informant", would Trump then appoint this man his Secretary of Labor? Was it like a 20 year covert operation, while at the same time committing tax fraud, election interference, espionage, and even more sexual assault?

Pedo/predators given access to a new AI tool to allow them to make videos for children, what could go wrong? /s

Noooo ... not Maru! It's like a piece of the internet died with him. 😭

Oh the irony that Trump has used undocumented labor for his construction jobs for years. As a dictator though he probably has much less interest in doing construction when he can just steal tax dollars more easily.

That would be some crazy precedent reversal, especially after at least 2 military folks (1 Marine and I think 1 National Guard) both said they saw no real threat to any federal officers. This is the biggest kangaroo court we've ever had though, so I guess we wait for Trump to appeal it and see.

Maybe it's just a US thing, but calling orange juice just OJ is very common.

Capitalism doesn't reward shareholders for preparing for a downturn, the system demands profits must go up before any other considerations.

And the companies themselves can't be trusted to do the right thing, that's why taxes should help pay for an oversight group to "keep them honest". And when caught skirting regulation they should be fined accordingly, and increasing fines for repeated offences. And if they still can't follow the rules shut them down and have them pay for it.

This story is a rollercoaster of emotions for me. For one it makes me feel icky to agree with either of these vile sites, but I also think the UK should have some power over cesspools on the Internet. The problem is the whole concept was never built with the idea of needing to moderate people around the globe that may have conflicting laws/regulations. And typically jurisdiction would decide whose laws take precedent, but a site can be hosted anywhere around the world and reach everyone. And without a physical presence in the UK, I don't think we have a great way to deal with things like this law.

A great example against the UK here is copyright law. If the US doesn't like someone anywhere else downloading US works, they can't just enforce US law by going and getting those individuals, they need to work with that country and either have some sort of agreement or go pound salt.

Some chemicals that may be linked to autism, but they are rolling back regulations that are linked to all sorts of things worse. And with the amount of time it takes to put any of this regulation in place it'll be decades just to reverse it all, but the world will be a much more toxic place by then when coupled with his attacks on the climate also.

Which is wild when they are working on a new very ambitious game right now.

Edit - Light No Fire

It boggles my mind that all these power companies aren't building out solar and wind everywhere they can. The return on investment alone has to be better than constantly buying/obtaining fossil fuels. I would think maintenance overhead would also be less as well.

Why do they always respond by shooting a disproportionately obscene ballistic at things like this camera, instead of just disabling/taking the camera? The target is at a hospital, why are they shooting at a single camera with a tank? And two shells?? For a camera?

I know why, but could some country that gives at least 1 fuck just put troops at the hospitals/aid camps? Offer to run security at these facilities and let the IDF worry about finding Hamas, instead of scary cameras.

I'd love to see our troops do that rather than harassing houseless individuals, or just walking around like Stormtroopers. I know it's a pipe dream anyone does anything though. 😩

Yep, they'll enforce rolling blackouts before they make the LLMs scale back anything.

In another (better) timeline governments would stop giving these people handouts and make them responsible for funding and maintaining their own power.
