I didn’t realise it was just this one grandma that did all that.

Same as it ever was.

Boomers and Gen X did exactly the same thing that you’re doing. Nothing. They just let the super rich elite screw the whole world up and now you’re doing the same thing they did. Nothing.

If you want to act high and mighty you’re not going to change the world by complaining on the internet. You have to stop the super rich.

Most likely it was counterfeit radios. The batteries in decade old Icom radios would probably be dead by now.

Didn’t he already repeatedly claim that he’s fighting directly with the West?

Even in his own words what would this change?

Having elected officials makes sense for politicians since their job is to represent the interests of the people but it’s terrible for other types of public office.

What do you want from a judge or a sheriff? Someone who’s experienced and competent. Who can best judge that? Would it be the hierarchy of their peers who they work with every day or would it be random members of the public who’ve barely even heard of them?

Edit: and no, I’m not suggesting political appointments. That’s also a recipe for disaster. Do it like Commonwealth countries: make the civil service independent of the political process and make appointments be part of the usual process of promotion.

I agree 100%. Public transport is the only sensible approach to getting people to stadiums. If it were my choice I wouldn’t provide parking at the venue at all.

Parking garages costs a lot more than surface parking. And the amount of traffic which can leave is limited by the surrounding roads, not by the exits.

If a comment is funny to the person giving it and offensive to the target it’s not a joke, it’s just bigotry.

C++ can do a lot of things but one thing it can’t do is perform as poorly as python.

There’s a reason why no-one bought IBM PS/2s. They were horrible value for money.

The real competition at the time was the thousands of other brands selling PCs. By that time IBM was plummeting in sales and other companies were selling most of the PCs. That’s where 95% of the market was.

Samsung offers a lot more models so they tend to have a higher high end and a lower low end than Apple.

They took them in 2020 while they were pulling out of Russia, not recently.

To be fair, the seizure happened back in 2020 when companies were still in the process of removing themselves from Russia. And it happened in retaliation for google complying with international sanctions against Russia.

They’re important details. And you would have seen them in the article if you’d read it.

Technically, it was hilarious.

It’s a tax on buying a house.

Until recently they were recommending Intel CPUs over AMD at the low end, saying they provided better value for money in that segment. And they used to recommend Intel processors for gaming, back when they had the gaming crown.

Get Rainbolt to have a look and he’ll tell you exactly where it was shot in just a few minutes.

As someone from a not-US country, I’m always amazed at how right wing the US “liberal” policies are. If Biden was our PM he’d be more right wing than our most recent conservative PM.

worse than regular recycling of plastic

In case people don’t know why it’s worse - it uses a lot more energy to do pyrolysis than it does to just make new plastic. It’s bad enough that it’s worse for the environment than just making new plastic.

In any case no plastics recycler has any intention of doing this except in “pilot studies”. It’s a dead duck and everyone in the industry knows it. As /u/SeaJ said, it’s just PR.
