an apple a day keeps the doctor awaybut if making the cider, your back will need a provider.
if all iran got are pictures proving he's a cigar/beer addicted, power hungry frat boy, we already knew that. if they don't have anything more, then maybe kash isn't that much of an embarrassment relative to other inner circle members.
when everyone around them look like this, they think its beauty.
I think its a hard to sell this form of morality. It requires expecting hundreds of millions of people to have deep understanding of historical events, thread the needle into how they personally benefit from it, feel personal connection to the problem and the need to rectify it, and find a targeted policy or practice to start course correcting. It's a lot easier to tell someone to "be kind to your neighbor, volunteer more, interact with people who aren't like you to widen your experiences".
let's say i' didn't vote for the current president. Should i feel guilty if my government does bad things? Or what if my friend committed a crime and i didn't intervene because i didn't sense anything was wrong?The argument I should feel guilty is based on a non-universal morality -- that i have civic responsibility simply by existing (and benefitting) in society that exploited people. And while i do have this sense of morality, i'm not convinced its rational to expect it from others
While i think Mehdi is fantastic, i'm trying to play devils advocate here for a sec to understand the other guy's view. I can take pride if my country wins olympic goals, or if my friend accomplished something hard, but should i feel guilt/shame if they lose? Guilt also has a legal meaning. Someone is "guilty" if they verifiably committed a crime. If they didn't, they can still lament the event or feel shame if they were indirectly involved. It feels like they are debating semantics
They don't think they are wrong. They think the policies/grants are wrong and they are individually right. They truly want meritocracy, but they think the only way to do that is to stop DEI and hire people like themselves.
the incentive is right now china sells ~0 cars in the US. Selling nonzero is better business. Cars will be different -- US has stricter safety requirements and to your points, the costs will be higher. It'll probably cost $25-30k for a tesla-like car.
china back in the day let US car manufacturers in, but required they use chinese workforce so the talent stayed local. This talent later on went and created a robust chinese car industry.US needs to do the same -- invite chinese manufacturers in the US but employ US citizens.
tbf, chinese EVs are remarkably high value relative to US EVs. China has such a large edge on electric supply chain, infra, and manufacturing compared to the US that the only strategy US has is to tariff or regulate chinese cars. I'm sure if you flood the market with $15K cars that can drive 250+ miles/charge, customers would prefer that over software updates.
looks amazing! got pics of your botanical beds (i'm picturing a raised bed with a greenhouse container)? agree that its SO expensive. I try not to use any chemicals -- figured they eventually run off into the water supply line. For pests, i just use neem oil which is only moderately effective. Sometimes pull in chemicals for fungal issues.I have a dozen fruit trees (just need to seasonally prune them; let most of the leaves decompose for the nutrients).
I got rid of my lawn because its hard. You need to mow it (or pay someone) and they use a lot of water. Dead patches are a pain. Annual wildflowers are also a lot of work too; they only flower for a few months at best, and wither away. I put in perennial flowers. At most I prune them once a year, but only if i'm not lazy. They need less water because the roots grow deeper. The flowers don't wow to the same extent, but they bloom longer and usually a lot of insects (bees love mine)
thanks for surfacing data about this. voter suppression sucks regardless of which party benefits, hope this is short lived
while i agree it is voter suppression, would this actually affect democrats more than republicans? AFAICT, recent generations (who skew left) don't change names as often as previous generations (who skew right) did.
thanks! Couldn't tell if this was just for show, to defend against other fighter jets, or ground missles
i know nothing about this; if someone fires a missile at the consumer jet anyway, what can the fighter jet do? Does it have anti-missile tech?
also, most interviews are pretty scripted. News channels want predictability. Actual guests who aren't part of some propaganda agenda break the structure
study on the side and keep trying for upgrades. Software development is solid, though that field is being decimated by AI right now.
why fly two small planes when you can fly one big boy
Not sure what the lifespan, upkeep cost, or milking costs are, but there seem to be several thousands of scorpion in this video alone. That's maybe a $10k/day operation assuming this video is the entire supply. Maybe a dozen staff at $20/day each, and say another $100 in feed and upkeep, so you're looking at 95% gross margins. Anyone up for a side hustle?
2.6M milkings/gallon -> 687k milkings/liter$39M/687k milkings = ~$4/milking/day.
i paid $1100 for my wedding photographer. 8 hours of shooting + processing + prints. He gave all of us covid.
sorry. Cathedrals, especially in europe, are big a tourist attractions regardless of religion. I used "brand name" to describe the really famous ones whose names people know without even having been there (notre dame, duomo in milan, etc). By comparison, this one is much more of a hidden gem.
I remember walking by this exact church a couple years ago. It looked pretty mundane from the outside, but randomly thought i'd check it out. Even though it was pretty small, I was floored! None of the brand-name cathedrals around europe that I've seen had this dark, kinda ominous interior. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.
while this is suspicious capitulation to the administration, is this actually a bad thing? My understanding of public polls is that if one party seems to be winning by a large margin, that discourages folks from voting because the outcome is set in their mind. If the results are neck and neck, it makes it easier to cast doubt on election integrity. Someone educate me
the thing is, this is also how the bigots feel and react to any group they dislike. "If we let one nice immigrant into our town, then they'll bring their nice immigrant friends, and pretty soon you have an immigrant neighborhood. And now you got immigrants stealing our jobs. Gotta nip it in the bud"
while i agree with the conclusion, this is a horrible chart. Only 3 years of historical data, no y axis. Is that drop 10%, 1%, .00001%? Let's at least educate ourselves before taking a stance.
how much more does this cost vs traditional nails + glue? I would love to have furniture and fixtures like this, but can only pay so much
eh, i think most people at this point know that it's trump and a handful of his henchmen. If they go and someone with familiar politics comes in, relations will rebound.The longer term changes are the new deals/alliances created to oppose trump (not necessarily a bad thing, just a different norm), and the global realization that half the US is brainwashed. Countries will use the US as a lesson of how to prevent the problem (or copy it if they too want fascist regimes)
They will 100% not lose money. Something like 5% of chatgpt users actualy pay. If they can get that up to 10%, they are in the clear.Also, they haven't even turned on the most lucrative revenue model in the world -- ads. Google and meta make hundreds of billions on this. Chatgpt should at least be able to make +$100B/year at their scale, if not more.Opinions on them aside, no way they are dying. Don't let wishful thinking cloud your judgement.
