If I’m remembering his story right… I can’t help but think he was framed. It’s too convenient that they investigate him for online piracy and leaking government documents and only then find CSAM on his computer, which somehow they never actually manage to charge him for?

Or am I misremembering? Sorry, I’m really getting sick of dealing with the razor’s edge of “free speech vs. kid’s safety”.

Dogs don’t eat grass, they swallow it to refresh their gut microbiome and then regurgitate it or pass it undigested.

Halloween and Soup = Confirmed(?)

As much as I am sick of vegans being high and mighty and demanding we not eat meat when not eating meat has been scientifically proven to reduce your health due to protein starvation…

I want to cuddle a cow. We shouldn’t have to eat meat, but we do have to because we evolved to require it over 12k years ago and nature is cruel like that. At the very least ungulate livestock deserve the recognition of being alive and having feelings, even if consuming flesh is inevitable.

Also I will never eat veal or lamb. Seriously, don’t tear a calf from it’s mother if you’re hungry.

Depends. Growing children will literally starve to death without protein, especially between weaning and early childhood. If you do sports, protein can be absolutely critical.

Also, as cute as animals are, don’t kid yourselves; if we don’t eat that cow, another omnivore or a carnivore will. Sadly nature knows that innocent baby animals (including human babies) are squishy, soft and delicious, and wild predatory animals do not hesitate to eat the weak despite how horrifying we find it.

The reason I say so is, well, just in case you get a pet and need to know it’s diet. A rabbit is alright with eating just leaves and fruit, while dogs, cats and ferrets are obligate carnivores and at least need meat-derived pet kibble in their diet to live.

We’ve built several over the years. There are Libraries of Babel (wikis) within the Library of Babel (the internet). Alexandria burned, and the Incan accounting system is mostly lost, but they existed.

That said, the pun is a bit misleading. Big libraries are not bad things or “unholy pride” IMO. On the contrary, if god as described by religion hated science, or learning, why is godlike knowledge called “omni_science_”?

Babel. Bible. The many languages of the world probably didn’t start with a tower, but if I was looking for a monument to hubris, it wouldn’t be a library. It would be a temple, whether a literal church that fleeces its followers, or an actual monument to excess and inequality like Burj Khalifa. (Nothing against you if you live in Saudi Arabia, but please stop building skyscrapers out of sea sand and drinkable water in the middle of a desert? Dubai is not a city, it’s an architectural testing ground at best.)

Language is a strange thing. Unfortunately, it’s easy to be misled by people cherry-picking words from a book. Obviously that applies to me too, so feel free to double-check all this.

Sounds awesome, actually. Like the jack-in cables for PETs in MegaMan Battle Network finally coming into existence. That I can see maybe requiring regulation to a degree, because its functional and potentially dysfunctional.

I meant that your sarcasm about mandating colors is absolutely right, there’s a certain point where you’re not regulating corporate greed but removing freedom of speech. Art and money are strange bedfellows but expression of self is more likely to win against a pointless moneymaking machine than an ideology of conformist nationalism.

Like over the ear headphones

I think they make USB-C over the ear headphones. Admittedly I’ve used bluetooth since before iPhones had it built-in so I’m clueless about wired over-ear USB-C headphones specifically.

I miss r/AngryUpvote… I appreciate the EU forcing big tech to do things that should be done but are “less profitable”, but I got to admit there’s limits to what a government should and shouldn’t regulate.

That’s what’s so horrible about this. This time, the bad guys won.

Northern Canada is covered in permafrost. In 20 years that’s going to be underwater or very close to it.

The bad guys learned from their mistakes and prevented the public from being able to survive making a mistake.

Last stop, Airstrip One. Get off or get put in Room 101 sooner. Don’t let the climate change kill you on the way out. We are completely fucked. Excuse me while I sleep another full day to escape to my dreams.

Not the way people think though.

Protip: If I ever see another fucker in my hometown in the Red Deer area of Alberta using the (expensive) “coal rolling”-capable exhaust on their shitty $100k+ jacked-up pickup trucks, I will photo your fucking ass (license plate) and sue you for trying to goddamn poison me. If you got a problem with that, step out of your car because I can fight with my fists pretty well too and you bloated meatheads will throw the first punch the moment I start taunting your sorry excuse for a free-willed soul.

Tl;dr: Coal-rolling requires loud exhausts that are designed to maximize chemical pollution because the vehicle’s owner wants to “own the libs”. While not the loudest, they are expensive mods and, at least in central Alberta, are usually found on brand-new luxury pickups.
