Probably true, given all the (lovable) asshole cats out there.

1. It has the simplest multi-threaded implementation: no threads!
2. You can goof off while your build system takes 20 minutes to rebuild a non-compiled language

This is my hole! It was made for me!

I’ve never seen Discord messages turn up in any Google or DuckDuckGo search

Tormented like he’s being sex trafficked under-age? Afraid like if he doesn’t do what the men say that they’ll torture him and he’s powerless to stop them? That kind of tormented?

ABV works for all types of packages. It could be helpful to know that a can of beer contains 18.6ml of alcohol, sure, but what about a bottle of whiskey or vodka? Is it better to know that it’s 40% alcohol or 300ml? Should a bar publish that a keg has 4.2 liters of alcohol in it?

With ABV you can compare alcohol across volumes.

2023 isn’t over?

How do they all have different expressions?

I download books from my library with Libby and they don’t expire while airplane mode is on.

Since a lot of books have a wait and Libby lets you delay delivery, I queue up a bunch of books while I’m reading. When I’m done with my current batch, I turn off airplane mode, check out a bunch of books, and then turn on airplane mode just before it’s time to return the first one.

I do this like every 6 months.

Not for the US military but that’s literally political advertising. Have you seen what the Lincoln project does?

The medical companies already sold the debt to debt servicing companies. It’s the debt collectors who are profiting, or (more likely) taking less of a loss on bad debt.

Also, they didn’t pay USD$15 million. They paid $150,000 to buy $15 million of debt at a penny on the dollar.

The organization that does this acknowledges that it’s a stopgap in the face of the human rights nightmare that is the USA’s healthcare system. It’s palliative care or harm reduction but not a long-term solution.

Medicare for all.

I keep thinking about his “there’s no point in invading lands anymore now, we are now a mostly peaceful world” thing as I read about Ukraine and Palestine

This is the government’s guide to passports, not a private institution, right?

I think this is a case where worse is better. For the sake of argument I am willing to assume that means-tested basic income creates better outcomes than UBI, but UBI sidesteps things like perverse incentives (“I can’t afford to work because I’ll lose benefits”), administrative overhead, and incentivizes support because it’s basically bribing everyone.

Means-tested will be fought because “why should my carbon tax pay for lazy/those people to not work?” UBI is about compensating everyone for the harm that is being done to the climate.

Carbon tax credits are not a carbon tax. Carbon tax is adding a tax to pollution. Gas for cars, methane (“natural gas” ugh) for homes, coal for power plants, etc. all get taxed. Keep raising the tax until we hit neutrality.

It’s a market-based solution so the right wingers will love it, just like they loved Obamacare. /s

What URL are you adding?

From a health perspective, absolutely.

From a climate perspective? Just tax carbon and give the proceeds back as UBI.

To the extent that health warnings work, it’s because it affects the consumer directly. A climate warning is saying “this burger is going to make life slightly worse for someone halfway around the world.”

It may change consumption slightly but also risks a blowback of denial. People don’t like feeling guilty and are perfectly capable of sticking their head in the sand so they can enjoy a steak.

“Can’t get out of bed and tired all the time” are hallmarks of depression. I’m not saying you’re depressed, don’t let someone on the internet diagnose you. But a therapist can really help you understand what’s going on. Meds can be a life changer in a lot of situations.

You should know that depression usually doesn’t feel like “super sadness” and crying all the time. It’s more of a numbness, a disconnection from life. Things don’t make depressed people happy, everything is just turned down.
