Some gas stations, mostly ones without the store, are closing in saturated areas but most are still there just with charging stations in the lot next to the pumps.

Bensin if were using the local speak

Just push out stock on older gen cards, no one cares about a newer gen…

They could have gone with a more contemplative “Look inward”.

FAA standard person is 170lbs/77kg. I’m sure the airlines use a better estimate though.

Micro economics: Price will reduce to maximize utilization

The world we know: reduction in cost means increased profits we can funnel directly into fuel for the CEO’S private jet and super yachts.

Carbon isn’t considered a cost by the wealthy and powerful.

Pharmaceuticals are life saving for people in various conditions whether thyroid issues, achieving a body that can exercise in the first place, or fast interdiction for diseases associated with excess body fat. But yeah i agree with your point if someone’s problem is their own choice in diet and exercise.

When you go off GLP-1s you generally gain all that weight back. So when they’re discussed in the context of saving airlines on fuel costs it’s not that far a leap from cynicism about pharmaceutical companies being pretty excited about rising popularity in a take-forever-drug.

Capitalism is so gross…

Just remember to have your installs on independant hard drives, not just partitions.

Paying an engineer to fix bugs costs too much. Better make an AI and train it on our code so it can fix the bugs learn to make the bugs elsewhere too.

They talk like there’s training needed, that it’s some learned skill. It’s just a means to blame the worker instead of the AI for not boosting productivity.

I can go weeks, dozens of sleep cycles and never see a hint of instability with my Arch daily driver. It only needs a reboot after update and didn’t even ask for it.

My windows computer (work, 2025 lenovo, fresh install) can’t make it an hour without explorer crashing. They also fucked up task manager… The latest new bug is right and left click getting swapped requiring a reboot. I never imagined that was even possible.

Something like

int *a = new int(10)

Int*b = null

While *b !=10 { b = rand(); a=new int(10)}

Return *b

I haven’t coded recently enough in c/c++ to remember syntax but the concept might work eventually if you’re lucky and have enough memory… Might need a time variant seed on the rand()…

Couldn’t be me talking from personal experience 🫠

Yeah it’s definitely not a monolith. There were always those cis-hating types of spaces around and that’s just counterproductive. Luckily my experience is in the “let’s figure it or together” types of spaces which are far and away the majority. But everyone remembers the most irritating voice which is often also the loudest.

I think there’s also a phase a lot of people go through in their journey where they feel a need to over-express their new identity. That can lead to social growing pains.

I meant the Royal “you”. Fixing.

I’ve been in the leftmost spaces most of my adult life. Accommodations for nuance have generally cost me a few calories in processing thought and not misgendering people but tha’ts it. It was annoying at times to learn new things but the impact on my ability to experience and navigate the world was nil. The benefits were that i got to have deeper connections with my friends of various genders and ethnicities.

I think if someone’s coming from an unchallenged experience of masculinity that when people ask for accommodation they feel it as a personal attack because they never had to expend a single calorie of energy on it before, and now someone is asking them to.

It also just takes a looooong time (decades even) to get over one’s own insecurities because it’s easy to hide those behind a mask of masculinity. That part takes a lot more effort whereas the manosphere tells you that you don’t have to climb that mountain because actualization is achieved hiding behind that mask.

Yes but we’re in the bait and switch phase of it. They’re pushing the AI responses at the top of search to cut down the through clicking to Wikipedia. They’re trying to capture behavior by being the lowest effort route to an answer. They’re gambling that people will forget these other sites and then stop donating. Then it’s to the courts until they’re too broke to keep the servers online.

The information will still be free, but maybe obfuscated enough that most people accept [erratic] information as a service.

His work on malaria in Africa focused on bed nets to the explicit exclusion of larvacide control of mosquitoes. Millions of preventable cases over the last 30 years.

Then there’s the circumcision to fight aids.

Guy’s a fuckwit.

Behind the bastards

This is why they want Wikipedia and internet archive, etc, killed off. They have it for their training data but they won’t have a profitable model via paid subscriptions without a monopoly on information.

Lol yeah little counterproductive in the long run
