They have, but it’s never really been as bad as “the wind blew the pollen.”

The guy intentionally bought what he knew were Monsanto seeds from a grain elevator to plant in order to get them cheaper. That’s not a problem of “evil corporation sues unwitting farmer”. That’s “farmer tries to circumvent contract he signed.”

Also you generally want the most financially prudent decision a business can make not to be “sit on the money until it’s worth more”.

Inflation encourages spending money, deflation encourages saving money.

Ditto, not logged in, incognito (so no cookies/history, I know it’s not actually incognito), VPN exiting in Canada. old.reddit working fine.

Could also be a staggered rollout thing? VPN/endpoint dependent while they gather data on endpoints?

During prohibition grape (formerly wine) producers sold grape juice with the warning label “don’t store in a cool dark place for multiple weeks or this product may become illegal”. (or something to that effect) You can do much the same with any grain or fruit.

For Marijuana you have to at least get seeds/the plant first, which are now a controlled product. Yeah it’ll grow anywhere (hence “weed”), but you still have to source it and plant it somewhere with sunlight.

Brewing at scale and/or for a specific product is difficult, making alcohol is easy.

It somehow looks like a more pic heavy twitter. It’s insane how much a site that was built and grew on its comment system seems to try and hide it now.

No it’s still there. Not sure what they’re on about unless it’s some A/B testing.

The opt-out is also still there in the user settings page. (Though phrased… poorly. Probably on purpose.)

Sync is nice IMO.

No because it’s assumed you’ll use the golfcart. Spinning in chairs counts if you do it long enough to work up a sweat.

No no. The rest of the world is constantly out of sorts on what common measurements are. It’s like how monolingual non-English-speaking people are constantly aware they’re not speaking the natural language of English.

The important part about Flat Earther beliefs that always seems to get left out is that they’re a fundamentalist christian sect.

They don’t believe the Earth is flat because of “the evidence”, or even necessarily that the Earth is flat that’s just the corner of their belief structure that got famous. They believe that the biblical Truth from God is the enemy of Science and that “they” are trying to keep that from people, in order to lead people away from God. Then comes the “evidence” and “debates” which are them trying to meet non-believers halfway, but fundamentally not understanding how/why science is a way of processing information.

Fortunately/unfortunately most Flat Earther’s got made fun enough publicly enough that they’re not really preaching it anymore. They’ve since moved on to other apocalyptic religious movements like Qanon/MAGA.

I think we agree? Breeds have tenancies towards certain behaviors and pits tend to be singled out in part because they’re popular, so there are more incidents, and in part because they’re strong, so the incidents tend to be more serious.

But that doesn’t make the order less arbitrary.

If Huskies/Akitas/Malamutes were more common and in the news a lot and they decided to ban “wolf-like dogs” or somesuch that would also be questionable.

Part of the problem is it isn’t a breed.

Part of the order (request? whatever it is) is to define the breed first. Which makes the rest seem pretty reactionary. Not far off from saying “ban dogs I find scary”.

You can also form very strong opinions early in your career and not know when they’re now invalid due to changes in tech/industry.

Was getting a quote for a new heat pump and had the guy tell me they were worthless if it got too cold. There have been consumer heat pumps that work down to -15°C with very little efficiency loss for well over a decade at this point. He had just been used to them not being worth it for long enough that he “didn’t believe it”.

YMMV but personally it makes everything 1-2 wipes to ‘verify’/dry. Got one in 2020 to lessen TP usage, which it does really well. I think you’re underestimating how strong the stream is (which is variable/controllable) and overestimating how ‘stuck on’ any residue is. Works kinda like a pressure washer where you can’t move/angle the washer (on the affordable ones) so you move the thing being washed for full ‘coverage’.

Regardless, if I got muck on my hands would rather rinse them in water than just wipe them off with a paper towel.
