• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Mars talk is a red herring to attract bright young employees. Once they’re hired, they work on drenching the sky with low orbit satellites. The same with kids wanting to be peaceful astronauts ending up as fighter pilots killing people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is why Americans hate Socialism.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The rich use their money to make separate classes using information/propaganda/public relations/marketing/slogans or whatever your favourite word is for communication to the masses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Republicans are arguing over if trans people can play sports while the world laughs at us⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These aren’t any republicans, these are the rich ones with not enough imagination to think of anything but other people’s sexual preferences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corporate media, owned by billionaires, refuse to recognize the wave of democratic socialism⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Richer people want things to stay as they are. Poorer people want things to change.

  dis-uniting states

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Save the planet, hold your breath⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The CO2 we breath out is recycled from carbon that is already on the Earth’s surface. But much of the food we eat relies on fertilizer synthesized from fossil methane. That additional fossil methane is added to the atmosphere during fertilizer production.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is AOC a big deal? She just speaks common sense and calls out absurdity. Have we really gone that far off the rails where we don't do it ourselves?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disinformation is so widespread, largely because of O&G marketing firms, that speaking common sense has become a big deal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Government Official refuses to answer basic question⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disqualified.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “I'm thrilled to report that after 35 years, on July 4th, we will end the subsidies for wind and solar projects”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “enormous amount of materials, energy intensive materials” - still less than an infinite amount of petroleum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a boss tell us we should forget about work-life balance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  High end bicycle equipment have weight specs in grams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fr🤮nch⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This breaches rules 1, 2 and 5.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was sure you meant “alien” as in “foreigner” but no, you actually mean extra-terrestrial. 👽

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The reason women cover their drinks⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stephen Miller on CNN actually said he considered djt to have limitless power (plenary authority) and then awkwardly froze as if he hadn’t wanted that to slip out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Libraries are cool⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok. Sometimes I don’t bother trying to tell apart a joke from a real concern. I mean, who knows what a struggling publisher would say. No worries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Libraries are cool⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First time I’ve ever seen anyone speaking out against lending and borrowing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Celsius died in 1744, but according to Fahrenheit, that will only happen in 3171.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific explanation⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  (no one does … he doesn’t say if that’s a number of ounces or a number of metric tons …)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great to see some actual progress over there⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the kind of ridiculousness we see from headlines about djt .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm fine with being stupid⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Better than rheumatoid stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was no need to ever improve upon THIS⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Name a car without a processor. Year and model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm fine with being stupid⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You need the length for each side. Make triangles. Double each one into a parallelogram. bh/2 for each one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was no need to ever improve upon THIS⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The CPU and screen are already in the car for other things. No cost there. And I don’t think you actually know how to make a nob.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm fine with being stupid⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Volume is also nothing but polygons, where you get more accurate results the more slices you cut it into.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was no need to ever improve upon THIS⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That only depends on what badge they put on the hood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was no need to ever improve upon THIS⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The screen could well be more expensive than the dial parts, but installation would be cheaper, so we’d need the numbers. The thing about software is that it’s very expensive to make but selling price is as low or high as you need it to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There was no need to ever improve upon THIS⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That has 5 moving parts, while a touchscreen has none. It much easier and cheaper for the manufacturer to install the touchscreen. But instead of passing the savings to you, they probably keep it or pass it on to investors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#environmentalist⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bamboo straws make you feel like your on some exotic, tropical island!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s amazing that they actually designed the beds to fail in the worse possible way. I mean this is cartoon crazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You forgot to divide by 8, multiply by 12, subtract 32 and add 9/5.
