Did you read the article? This isn’t about social issues but about economics and energy production. The title is just a hook.

Thank you for sharing this link, that was really helpful to understand the big picture.

Not sure if this is a joke. For years my phone was the only one paired with the Bluetooth on my wife’s car as I like to play music when I drive it but she couldn’t be bothered to mess with it and listens to the radio. That doesn’t mean that I am usually the driver in the car though as she usually drives it. It was paired for the few times she wasn’t in the car and I had to use it.

Deep Rock Galactic.

Rock and Stone, Miner!

I use the back buttons in Deep Rock Galactic to mirror the A B X Y functions. This allows me to jump for instance without taking my right thumb off of the stick. I have found this is super useful as I can be steering my POV while jumping. Took a minute to get used to but now I absolutely love it.

Rock and Stone, miners!

Do you have a smartphone though?

+1 for this. My allergies aren’t as bad as you have described but I moved to an area with wildfires (smoke!) and bought a couple of HEPA filters that also have activated charcoal and I absolutely can tell a big difference with them in allergy season.

“Always” is a very definitive statement. But let me tell you that there is a lot more energy transferred into the tissues around the bullet trajectory. Watch YouTube videos of bullets going through ballistic gel to see what I mean. They don’t just punch holes in people they also have a huge cone of severely damaged tissue surrounding the hole. Also they can break into fragments going different directions and if they hit a bone can even bounce around doing more damage. You just aren’t likely to have that as much with an arrow because there is less energy and the shaft will stop it from richocheting in a different trajectory.

Also the arrow may help slow blood loss while still in place whereas a bullet is not going to do that.

About the only thing that a bullet has going for it over an arrow is that depending on where it is you might be able to stop the bleeding (via surgery for example) but don’t necessarily need to dig all of the bullet fragments out. I’ve seen quite a few patients who have bullet fragments retained in their body. No way you can leave part of an arrow though.

“We need a one size fits all solution!” screams the person who hasn’t discovered yet that people’s needs can be wildly different.

I agree that the situation with private/religious/home schooling does need reform but to say it should not be allowed at all is a bridge too far.

I tried to place my gifted child in public schools and they were like “Sorry but they have to go in the grade that matches their age” despite the fact that they had mastered most content from 2nd grade by the time they were 1st grade age. So my options were let my child academically languish for a few years while they didn’t learn a work ethic because they already know everything - or put them in private / home school to keep them growing academically.

I can only hope this hastens Ticketmaster’s demise but I’m probably being naive.

The breach was first revealed on Tuesday on a forum called BreachForums where the group said they had data of 560 million Ticketmaster customers, including credit card numbers and ticket sales.

(Emphasis mine)

Not to mention nothing familiar to provide scale. As I was watching I was like are we 100 km above the ground or 100 m?

RIP

Nominative determinism?

I’ve had training in basic statistics at multiple times in my career. The technical term for this is horseshit. Or is it bullshit? Hmm, time to hit the books again I guess.

Damn you really nailed it. This is something that has bothered me a lot but I’ve never found a good way to explain it. Your analogy is perfect.

I think this is the first one I’ve seen that is mildly humorous.

It’s a-me, Mario!
