At minimum they should provide copies of the software to anyone who paid a subscription, and then enterprising individuals would figure out how to get private servers running

Maybe goetta? But goetta might be more controversial than skyline, so maybe that disqualifies it

Jesus Christ, seriously? The amount of political ads we were bombarded with for 6 months leading up to November, and people didn’t realize Biden wasn’t running?

Functionally, what’s the difference between “healing” a Pokemon vs. using their genetic makeup and organic matter to biologically 3d print a fully healthy clone?

What I don’t get is the inaction from the democratic party on changing the voting system between elections.

1. The Democrats didn’t secure a large enough majority in previous elections to overcome Republican resistance to changing things like FPTP voting or the electoral college.

2. There is a lot of contention within the Democratic party (at the federal level at least) as it shifts further towards the right in an effort to remain in power. Getting rid of FPTP voting would make it harder for centrist/right leaning Democrats to remain in power.

Several states have switched to RCV for some of their elections, and progress has been slow, but it’s being made. If you want to see more, elect people that prioritize implementing better voting systems.

This take is comical. Trump ran for president in 2000 then did fuck all politically except hoard wealth until the 2016 run. Harris has been in political positions and actively working in politics for over two decades. Regardless of age, if anyone works for 20 straight years at something, it’s fair to say they’ve made a career of that thing.

Wait really? Man I knew those games were my favorites for a reason

Carrots are not like other vegetables

Carrots often have dirt caked on the outside that’s hard to get off with just water, so peeling is a good way to help with that.

The peel has the healthy bits

Sort of, but not really. The nutrients of a carrot may be slightly more concentrated in the skin, but all layers of a carrot contain those nutrients. You’re not depriving yourself of an appreciable amount of nutrients by peeling a carrot.

Ok but what about instead of an explosive release canopy, the crew just sorta loosen some of the bolts holding the top of the plane on, then the pilot flies upside-down to gently tip everyone out of their seats

Yeah for sure, it’s not for everyone, and getting through the whole series is borderline a chore lol.

I’m reading through The Wheel of Time for the second time right now and my experience has been different. It’s crazy how the tone changes from the first book to the last, and the amount of character development that occurs. I think each book is been better than the last, and each for different reasons.

So they’re really more like a switchubus

Hi, I’d like the ELICHEM5320 pls

What is it with people trying to turn the entirety of October, November, and December into Christmas?

It’s one single night, it’s not a season. Is this the Americans trying to push it on us to increase our capitalist consumption or something? I see it a LOT these past few years.

What’s next, celebrating other holidays in the actual month that they fall in?

The way I see it, there’s two options:

1. Pay people more. 300k, 400k, 500k, whatever it takes. Surely there’s a number that people would feel is worth the risk. The obvious downside is that increases the cost of construction.

2. Make the process of roofing safer - invent new safety gear or safety practices, automation equipment that can be operated from the ground, introduce legislation that encourages those practices or subsidizes the new equipment. The obvious downside is this requires upfront investment and cooperation between government and industry.

Either way, the current practice of “throw cheap immigrant labor at it until it goes away” is not tenable.

I guarantee you more people would find themselves wanting to do the work if it paid more.
