  • It's like all those times people try and claim that Coca-Cola can dissolve teeth and is therefore really bad. Ok, then let's do a control test where you do the same thing with other drinks, including freshly squeezed orange juice, milk, and gin.

    Because the thing is I know for a fact that the tooth will dissolve in the orange juice and the milk but not in the gin. So I guess gin is good for you then.

    Stupid experiment, stupid conclusion

  • Yep

  • My parents are constantly getting signed out of their various websites. I don't know how they manage it, because they are definitely not deleting their cookies I doubt they even know how.

    Why do weird tech issues always occur to the most technologically incapable people

  • I don't think it's the consumer market because I've seen basically nothing with that system architecture. Actually that's not true I know of one product that uses RISC-V, and that is a development board that you can drop into a Framework laptop chassis. Which is the development purposes only in barely works.

    I have not seen anything marketed as just a general device that uses RISC-V chips.

  • It's interesting because even my parents who are quite religious think it's stupid.

    There was a short story written by Terry Pratchett as a sort of tie-in for philosophy book. In the story Charles Darwin writes his famous work but it's still with the view that God exists and evolution is just a method by which God achieves his goals. Anyway the point is made that everybody likes the work because the scientists get to acknowledge that evolution exists, and the church gets to keep God, and all they have to do is throw away a bunch of myths that no one ever really believed anyway.

    That's how I think a lot of the more moderate Christians think about the ark. It's clearly just a story, trying to claim it actually happened is ridiculous and just make the religion look stupid. But then you get all these creationist types who come along and claim that the Bible is 100% true. I think the church rather despairs of them really.

  • I watched the first season when I was in university. But then they moved it over to cable which we couldn't get and so I never watched any of the rest of it. After I finished university I think I dipped into it again and was just so completely bored by the characters that I just stopped watching again.

    The main plot arc on the first season was him carrying around that damn grenade. Which was ultimately used to blow up some, bulletproof glass. Wow.

    I can't remember the names of any of the characters but at one point one of the characters is having it off with one of the other characters, but in secret for some reason even though both of their spouses are dead so I don't see the problem, anyway they go into the woods all alone, in a zombie apocalypse, for some privacy, (again why) and get attacked by a zombie. Talk about stupid decisions.

  • Because they don't accept that they were wrong. They don't regret their decision because they now realise that it was wrong of them to try and push this on other people. They regret their decision because they realise that they have to suffer the consequences as well.

    If a candidate came along that said that they would only punish "the wrong people" this lot would jump at them. They are not people who have learnt their lesson.

  • When Trump first started talking about tariffs this is exactly what everybody said. Unless you also introduce schemes to assist with setting up infrastructure in the US then the tariffs are not going to have the desired effect.

    Nobody is going to set up a factory if there's every possibility that the tariffs will go away at some point in the next 4 years. Not unless the cost of setting up that factory is ameliorated somehow. Otherwise companies are just going to accept they're going to get fewer orders from the US for the next few years.

    Especially if setting up a factory in another country means that your staff are likely to get abducted by ICE for no reason.

  • If someone were to actually assassinate the orange one, you guys are way more fucked.

    Why? Who would be ordering it, Vance? MAGA have one figurehead and a bunch of background characters that no one really likes. If Trump died it would be over. The GOP knows that, which is why you're starting to see some pushback against Trump and his more insane ideas. They have started to realise that they need to be politically palatable in a post Trump world.

  • Also even for people who want they can just get a gaming handheld and then gain access to a bunch of games which rarely cost $80 even when they're brand new. Buying a Switch 2 just isn't a financially sensible decision for anyone regardless of how much money you have in your bank account
