Hot take: birthrate is high when it’s economically profitable to have kids - helping hands all around to take care of stuff. When they’re a financial burden for the rest of your life besides substantially worsening your quality of life, birthrate plummets.

For $2000? Is this comic from the 50s?

If we’re gonna worship some powerful entity, the sun’s it. Nothing in our neck of the cosmic woods even comes close to the power it produces.

This duck is the terror of the 7 seas, harrr

They be saving up to build a big ass ship out at Tycho, I’ve seen it.

Torvalds rejected the merge, and that’s pretty much what he said - no one is using bcachefs.

There’s no reason for a “fix” to be 1k+ lines, these sorts of changes need to come earlier in the release cycle.

Makes a lot of sense, not gonna lie.

This is an interesting approach from the CEO, in that it demonstrates why unions are mandatory.

That sounds more accurate. Woke: adjective that characterizes any action or statement that goes against a bigot’s opinion.

Aw.

Wait, you don’t lubricate your M1 🪖??

Friend, I’m sorry but you’re fucked up in the head.

Ask yourself the question: does human life have value by itself? (independent of everything, including age, race, employment, etc).

If your answer is yes, then every human life should be protected, and we as a society need to be organised in a way that provides the minimum necessities for survival (like food, water, etc). This is what the whole world, except the US, just said.

On the other end, what you’re saying is that life in itself is worthless and that value is given by some other factor (like being employed). This means that, until proven otherwise, everyone is disposable. If you think through the implications of this, you’ll realize you can do whatever to them - kill them on the spot, harvest their organs, cut them to pieces to feed your pigs, … Is this the world you want to live in?

For the sake of completeness, let’s explore the implications of #1, where people get “money for nothing”. What’s usually tested is giving people just enough money to cover their most basic needs. Would some people stop working, if they didn’t have to worry about starving? I’m sure some would. But would you?

Because I, for one, like to be able to afford my luxuries, and will keep working to not give them up.

This is the war that’s coming.

More and more processes are automatic, and AI is now breaking down the last holdout of “manual” jobs.

How will that future, where only a small percentage of mankind actually needs to work, look like? It could be heaven, but it’s shaping up to be hell unless we win these fights.

This. Full AMD on my last build as well.

I don’t care about any corp, I was looking at best bang for buck at the time. I was shocked how everyone I knew was like you should get this intel or that Nvidia, and when I asked why not <comparable performance AMD at 2/3 the price>, all I was getting back was marketing blabber.

Think of the poor shareholders!

I think OP was pointing out that several of the competitions use air guns, but conveniently glossed over the one with shotguns (which I’m sure OP will love to know, China got a silver medal…)

Maybe the army guys that the US sent over for trap shooting got lost on the way?

Or perhaps shotguns are for babies, and they only know how to fire rockets or something.

Someone surely tried this on a Tesla by now…

I’ve read all of Book. Well, most of Book. I like the pictures of fish… of which there are none, Book!
