You’re assuming that the fascist simply wants a lot of people out of the US, and these are just the only places they can go. And that couldn’t be more wrong.

The cruelty really is the point. There are countless countries where people could be deported to. Countries that are willing to accept them, where they might have ties or at least know the language.

These options aren’t cruel enough. And this is exactly the face that’s being presented to the general public.

Even if (big if) Europe were willing to accept them, it would never happen because it’s not cruel enough.

There’s a similar and related math problem for this:

How many people do you need in a room before 2 of them share a birthday?

The answer is around 50, which is way less than most people expect.

Little need, but not no need. They need to have a vague path, and something to show for it.

Bitcoin mining doesn’t normally use GPUs. They use dedicated ASICs. Far more effective, and cheaper in every way.

In addition, AI is in the “growth at any cost” phase. There is a TON of investor money to burn, with little need to show future profitability.

I know it’s his brand, but it’s mostly useless stuff that you learn. His recent video about 8-tracks was fascinating, but I can’t imagine a single scenario where that info will be useful.

That said, I still recommend it to everyone.

That’s the basic premise of the entire culture war bullshit. It’s all a distraction, meant to create an “Us vs. them” mindset.

In my experience, nope. Assuming it works as promised, the situation (usually) gets viewed as a skill gap. You think their code is bad, because you don’t understand it well enough. Unless you are personally willing to redevelop it, of course.

Are they from China/Chinese clients? A number of these are modified to never seed, so they always show as having 0%.

He’s also never once said “thank you”. It really feels like a weird amalgamation of Trump’s toddler-like thoughts and a real policy document. You can see word-by-word whether it’s a Trump thought (or someone imitating him) or from someone else.

One thing to add, synthetic/artificial only describes some of the sugar alternatives. Others, such as stevia and erithritol, are perfectly natural. Doesn’t make them any safer (or more dangerous), as you noted.

…people used to think smoking was good for colds? Was it just menthols and the mint flavor?

The article calls it “common”, but I’ve only seen it in a single brand of low-carb ice cream. I’ve actively sought low-carb options for over a decade. It’s even less common than xylitol.

One detail you may not have considered is who can perform the work. While there’s an independent mechanic on every street that can fix any ICE, there’s only a tiny fraction that can fix an EV. You probably don’t even have an EV mechanic like you did with ICE.

That means you’re taking it to the dealer. Dealers are expensive.

Source: I’m in this exact position. I got the 60k warranty, knowing that I probably won’t use much of it.

If you are a complete hard-liner, you’re going to run into one very particular, and peripheral, obstacle: your employer will almost certainly issue you a Windows laptop. It may not be a large part of your job, but it will be there. Very few companies will offer a Mac, and even fewer will offer Linux.

You might have to work as a freelancer, taking on tasks that can be done without Windows. But even something like web dev will require testing on Windows.

Given the price I’ve seen for those services, that will be the first group to get gouged. People are apparently willing to pay a massive premium for them.

Somehow, the greatest music ever made is always from your senior year of high school.

The locals call it “cornhenge”

There was also the related claim that the British pilots ate so many carrots it was turning their skin orange.

I think he’s trying to say there should be more taboo. That there should be a lot more restrictions than just consent.

I’m glad he’s dead.

You’re getting downvoted, but I experienced much of the same. So much misogyny and, looking back on it, toxic masculinity. I vividly remember the bit where they used tape to illustrate “purity” of not having multiple partners.

This would’ve been the late 90s, US Midwest.

ETA: I wouldn’t say it went quite as far as describing women as “submissive cum dumpsters”, but it definitely implied the women don’t enjoy sex and only did it to satisfy their partner.
