I don’t know about energy efficiency, but I’d imagine it’s pretty good, but a Japanese rice cooker is cheap and reliable with perfectly cooked rice every time.

I have a Philips but I know there are lots of Japanese brand rice cookers that are more reliable. It can also be used for steaming.

My dad was going grey, so my brother bought him ‘just for men’ hair dye, which he opened at the Christmas dinner table with the entire family. He was about 9. We still laugh about it.

Good job on not serving her. Unfortunately in service culture where the customer is always right, there often is no blowback from customers being rude or unreasonable. There needs to be pushback, even small victories are still a win.

Some of those negative stereotypes were started as a method to dehumanise and control. As one of those stereotypes that notes racism each time I’m in the UK, it’s definitely not a case of British people thinking they are not better than others.

Yes, you can choose to lay out your wishes. Many do, just like opt in or opt out organ donation. However, if you don’t lay out your wishes, you will still end up buried or cremated or something similar without consent.

I’m not saying that’s wrong. We can’t just leave dead bodies where they lie. It also provides comfort to families to practice burial rites. My point is that technically you are still making decisions about what to do with somebodies body parts without consent, as they can no longer consent. Is there really a difference? If they care that much, will they just opt out?

I know some countries, they used to let you specify which organs, but then people opted out of eyes. So they removed the option and it was just donor or not. People still consented, without opting out of eyes. Is that better, or is that manipulating consent?

We don’t get their consent to be buried or cremated or whatever else people do with the remaining bodies of their loved ones. It’s just opt out. Why should organ donation, which provides a societal and personal benefit be different?

Not on a per person basis. China also does the most to combat climate change, purely by virtue of its population. It also does the most research, has the most homed people, has the most fed people, delivers the most babies etc etc.

When dealing with different countries with wildly different populations, it’s the amount per person and change per person that counts the most.

Unfortunately, by dividing by country, it becomes a game theory problem in that the actions you do don’t have an effect. It’s collective actions that work. As this becomes more imperative, the cost of those not acting will not be borne by countries that are and they will be punished in trade tariffs.

I would also expect an I crease in carbon tariffs worldwide. They are allowable under wto rules and with the USA implementing tariffs, other countries will seek ways to do the same while protecting themselves. The USA not following two rules would be a boon to China and Russia to ignore patent laws. It will be carrot and stick.

I don’t play a lot of open world games. But, sf6 takes an age to load before you even try to match. I expected almost instant, similar to a cartridge console.

Yep, no difference from PS4 for any game. This fast loading they talk about, minimal.

Similar for Facebook, Microsoft etc. It will be interesting to see how long before they start to lose market dominance, or how anti trust laws work worldwide.

Where Mr robot is an unreliable narrator that questions himself, devs has a paranoia that someone else is controlling the narrative to purposefully make you question,

Making an effort and hanging a bad made costume is better than a bought costume. It should be about creativity, not money.

I’d still give candy to kids. Not teens. I’d give extra candy to kids that made an effort in whatever way.

Yes, but knowing that, subverting it is not a bad idea. Misdirection can go both ways.

That and the fort trial. Or where Jen breaks the internet.

I usually just wet my pants to avoid touching my own penis so I don’t get perceived as gay. Shit, I just used the word perceived. Gay af.

If they were due to expire, all together, that would be odd, but not necessarily an issue. The article points to them not advertising the expiration, like they do for other films. Surely the filmmakers can comment on that if its odd.

It would be quite disappointing from Netflix to do so after they were ambivalent about other controversial topics like comedy specials with bigoted views that were offensive to many. They claimed to make no judgement on content but make it available for people to decide.

I have a ps5. I dont think I’ll ever buy another console thats not a PC. I want to keep my library. I want a choice of places to buy games. I want no subscription for basic services. Consoles solved a problem that running high end games with specialized hardware was cheaper. Now its not, so they dont make financial sense.

I would assume my next games machine will be a steam deck type device that works like a switch for big screen, or that just streams over WiFi to my TV.
