The date thing is infuriating because the American date format just shouldn’t exist

My local area group is pretty much the only thing I remotely use it for and that’s a rarity

I’ve not posted anything about myself in getting close to a decade now

Rich people spending some money is not trickle-down economics.

Trickle down economics is the lie that centralising capital in the hands of the few benefits everyone due to their increased ability to invest their capital.

What happens is they spend a small amount of their fortune in self-serving pursuits (e.g. their security in this scenario) and then they hoard the vast majority of what’s left. The incentive structure of capitalism means a capitalist benefits more from holding capital than distributing it.

The system is broken by design and cannot be fixed without replacing it

Pretty useful for software engineering, particularly helpful in writing a test suite, you still need to actually check the output though ofc

Also made use of it for writing my end of year review to solve the blank page problem, I find it a lot easier to edit down than starting HR stuff like that entirely from scratch

Not what you’re asking for, but unless you know your decanter is made from lead free crystal (most aren’t), don’t store booze in it for any amount of time. You should be safe to use it to serve a spirit in, but lead leaches into the spirit much quicker than you’d realise

TBF those streaming sites are usually the lowest common denominator, run by people who are just trying to make as much ad money as they can before they get caught or shut down.

When one shuts down, another inevitably pops up—it’s been this way for a couple of decades. No site ever lasts longer than a couple of years tops, it’s just a way too obvious way of doing things to not get caught eventually

Generally it’s best to go with a download based approach anyway (or one of the streaming approaches that doesn’t involve a web browser), given the quantity of shitty ads and tracking those sites have on them.

A lot of popular YouTubers use the same couple of libraries too

That would make the site look a lot less popular and tank the share price

Hell, I’m of the opinion that they run some of the bots themselves

This man binary searches

They can happen at the same time, but no, they’re entirely independent

2010-2012 I’d say

That’s really shitty given the expectation set when using a VPN

I was wondering the same, I’ve not had any issues personally

I always find it mad as hell that Americans have to pay tax in the US even if they are living and earning elsewhere

Especially given generally Americans are pretty allergic to reasonable taxation

Everything about the Gingko tree is pretty cool

Rum or gin work too

The way things are going we’re all going to be dead before it gets to that point

Has it been much of a problem? I wouldn’t say I’ve personally seen many at all, at least not enough to consider it an issue anyway. Personally I’d be against such a restriction unless it was dominating all discussion on the community and crowding out other discussion.

I think with political literacy generally being pretty low in the majority of people and the impending American election, there will be people that feel like they have “stupid” questions, and they might not feel comfortable asking in one of the more general politics communities. It does no good to keep people in the dark, especially about politics which pretty much affects everything.

Then the mods would have the messy job of determining what constitutes “political” topics, where no one will draw the same lines as another. What is a fact of life for one person might be an incredibly political topic for another.

That’s not a factor, there are a good selection of cellophane-like materials that are biodegradable

And why do you think you should need to drive?

There’s a shitload of big stores like that in my city that I can get to in less than 20 minutes without a car.

Your city is frankly built shit if that’s not also the case.
