A stove for any place, any time
I just use butane when I’m not cooking over the campfire…so basically breakfast and morning coffee. I just saw this runs on unleaded fuel which is pretty amazing.

Cost of Living in Oslo vs Seattle
Reply in thread
A city is not going to be able to solve healthcare. Most taxes are paid to federal so the amount going to the city is limited to things like a sales tax, property tax, gas tax, etc. there just isn’t enough money to move the needle on healthcare for just one city. I think a state could potentially do it but I don’t think a city could.

Netflix Resumes Advertising on X After Elon Musk Controversy
I am so tired of being so disappointed in companies. Was there ever a time when they weren’t just completely soulless? Is there truly no bottom to their ethics?

Google decimates Twitter search results after Elon Musk imposes limits on reading tweets
Doesn’t sound like retaliation to me, it sounds like their scheduled web crawlers are finding that content they used to index is now no longer viewable and this removed from search results. Pretty standard. My guess is that there were 400 million URLs listed and as the crawler uncovers that they are no longer available, that number will keep dropping to reflect only content publicly viewable. If only 500 URLs are now publicly viewable (without logins) then that’s what they will index. Google isn’t a search engine for private companies (unless you pay for the service) they are a public search engine so they make an effort to ensure that only public information is indexed. Some folk game the system (like the old expertsexchange.com) but sooner or later google drops the hammer.

Can you imagine the screams of, “COMMUNISM!!!!” If Obama or Biden had done this. It’s all we would hear about for an entire election cycle. Fox “News” would play it nonstop.

House Republicans call to investigate Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show over 'widespread twerking, grinding, pelvic thrusts'

I think this country has just shown who it really is. One could say we were conned in 2016 but now everyone knows who he is and still voted for him. This is who we are apparently.

Trump Abruptly Cancels Another Mainstream TV Interview

Republicans would vote for the corpse of Trump before even considering not making a terrible decision. I cannot believe that this election is this close. It’s mind boggling that the outcome is currently a toss up between Nazi spray tan confused grandpa and middle road politician.

House votes to formalize impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden with floor vote
Reply in thread
That would be voting but unfortunately the republican base doesn’t read big words or lacks reading comprehension skills so this will continue.

Men r so nonchalant
I work in tech. No one cares about my updates to the client SDK. It would make for boring dinner conversation and it’s not like there is office gossip…I work from home. Do you want to hear about my chat about updates to the corporate PPT deck to illustrate the new logical flow of connectivity? Because marketing was on that call and they didn’t care either.

If you are rich, white, male and say "Jesus" enough, you can get away with anything.
Just being rich seems to work pretty well.

Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs
Reply in thread
The article states that on a bunch of items they’ve just been eating the cost so they’ve been paying the tariffs instead of passing them on. For those cases, there is nothing to refund to the consumers.

‘Who dreams this crap up?’: Kevin O'Leary slams new rule that allows employees to ignore their bosses after hours

If your service needs to operate 24/7, then it needs to be staffed 24/7. If it doesn’t need to operate 24/7, then staff will resolve the issue during normal work hours. Most businesses have IT teams stagger their start time so that someone comes in early and can deal with issues that may have risen the night before and prior to other employees arriving.
