No but RVs and Campers do and they keep the drain plugs attached via plastic.

I like webghost0101’s Idea:
[…] a blockchain linked video camera where metadata of footage gets written into the chain to combat fake news and misinformation.
The goal would be to create a proof and record of original footage, to which media publishers and people who share can link towards to verify authenticity/author.
If the media later gets manipulated or reframed you would be able to verify this by comparing it to the original record.

"I heard one of the mums say “why did you do that in front of my child?” and he said “it’s vermin, you should teach your children about vermin”
I said ‘why did you do that’ and he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away’
Sounds like a great guy. He’s lucky to have you here defending him for some reason.

Wtf is this argument? Swinging things applies other forces besides your own power and speed, and since you brought up those two forces you must realize there’s a minimum of both that must be applied in order to swing an object properly and you’d also know full well as Newton’s third law of motion dictates that when said swinging object meets the object at rest that the sum of those forces will be exerted back onto the swinging object. Every choice made equals bird death. He didn’t flick it on the nose, he didn’t show it up slightly, he didn’t swing it into some software brush or a beach ball or an elastic fence, he swung it into a brick wall. A + B = C. Anything else is just conjecture on your end, made in some vain attempt to justify brutish thuggery just because the victim was an animal you don’t respect.
Try it yourself. Get about two feet of rope or something. Tie an egg to the end. See exactly how much speed and power you have to use to get it to properly swing. Then swing it into a brick wall and try not to break the egg. Make sure to film the attempt, I’d love to see it.

Oh, the irony.

Because killing animals, especially over petty shit, and Especially especially in front of other while disregarding their reactions is psychopath shit. Your insurance that this is some kind of ‘Phy Op’ just makes you look like one, too.

Yeah by his own PR team, mostly, but it was a pretty easy fascade to see through when you actually listened to the man speak. Still don’t forgive Dan Harmon for letting him shit on R&M with the eLoN tUsK bullshit. Or Star Trek Discovery for that matter, which happened much later after he had already shown his true face to the world. I know Harmon got paid because he’s talked about it, but I would really like to know how much he spent on getting a passing reference in the least popular ST show of all time.

That’s a tiktok thing. In the videos it’s satisfying to pull out all the glue and pre-staged gunk from the port in one solid go, but in reality you have no idea how much dried glue is being left behind or how it’s going to interact with the lint and dust in the port. You could potentially render the port unusable. Better to go with a soft pick and some compressed air.

- Comment on Are there any plot arcs, or missed opportunities from any TV series that were abandoned that you think should've been picked up or continued? 4 weeks ago:
Yes, thank you for articulating what I was trying to say! I also used to do an annual rewatch, now I will still forget and try to watch the first season again, but after a few minutes of watching things that have no impact on the story whatsoever I realize there’s no point. It’s a shame because the books are genuinely really great, but it’s a lot easier these days to watch a show then to crack open a book.

Game of Thrones. I can forgive the characters they left out of the show (I guess). I can’t forgive the stupid death of Ser Barristan Selmy, but I will for this comment. I can even pretend to forgive the rushed ending and anticlimactic fight with the others. What I cannot forgive is what makes the first four nearly perfect seasons pretty much impossible to rewatch: every single symbol, clue, and question (other than Jon Snow’s parentage) is pointless, meaningless, and completely unanswered. Like Chekhov’s gun was not only unused, but never shown or mentioned again. I don’t believe in capital punishment, but I do think D&D deserve the death penalty for that one.

Ever notice how any time a Chinese app gets highlighted as being for data harvesting, there’s a bunch of people crawling out of the woodwork to claim “whatabout american apps!?”,
Yes, because the American social media apps and other data harvesters have a much greater affect on our lives than Chinese, but American media goes on and on about the dangers of Chinese social media and most Americans don’t even think about American social media.
And did you just accuse me of crawling out of woodwork?!
but whenever an American app gets the same exposer, noone ever goes “whatabout Chinese apps apps!?”
Yes because it makes perfect sense on western social media to cry “What about tiktok?!” When an article comes out about the very scandals you’re talking about. In fact I’m not sure what point you’re even trying to make saying the outrage is manufactured but then giving reasons why it should be legitimate.
I do consider Chinese officials getting blackmail material on American politicians and businesses more dangerous then American companies doing the same.
Well that’s an insane take. American companies blackmailing American politicians is why we slide further and further into a corporatocracy.

I had assumed that’s what they were doing with the data they bought from data brokers like Meta and Alphabet, yes.
- Comment on Who needs it? 4 weeks ago:
Accuracy is not really relevant to the conversation. The point is that though the Chinese app gets a lot of crap for being a dataminer, the American social media apps are no better and in fact worse because they create ghost profiles of non users and make a ton of money selling that data indiscriminately. There’s no need to take offense, it isn’t a personal attack on your privacy practices.
