In Canada even if you lease to own a phone it’s not carrier locked anymore, you have to pay the remaining balance if you leave, or possibly can return the phone (but that’s just throwing your money away)

All it would really take is internet providers to black hole the China AS numbers in their BGP configs. Then boom China basically can’t talk to the rest of the world.

But not in place of, no one is trying to say no chat clients ever, we just don’t want only chat clients.

Why are you even mentioning matrix? We don’t want a chat server corpo or not, we want a real functional forum with topics and history and indexed by search engines, not a single chat log that disappears into the void after 24 hours of use.

Nothing in that comment discussed plugin hybrids though.

A non plug-in hybrid will be more efficient than a full gas vehicle because of the efficiency you can gain through minimizing the engine and tuning it for a more limited rpm range.

This ideally carries over to a plug-in hybrid in the same way even if it’s never plugged in, if all the gas engine does is charge the battery it can be more efficient than a gas only car due to reduced engine size requirements.

Continuing to speak is a bad look on you.

You talk shit out of your ass.

The only advantage to a canoe is it’s slightly drier than the water and slightly less sandy than the beach.

Look we all hate Elon and how neuralink is developing their tech that’s not in question here.

People are taking issue with your referring to desperate people with very very poor quality of life due to injuries or medical conditions as “brain dead”

They aren’t “brain dead”, dumb or stupid, they are reaching for what looks like the only potential light in their life. A life that is probably impossibly difficult for any of us typically healthy people to imagine.

2016 was 8 years ago, that means by your definition twitter spent nearly half it’s existence as a toxic cesspool

Yeah for Hawaii that pricing is sort of expected, but for anything mainland that prices is just disgusting

50 cents per kWh sounds fucking insane to me. That’s like 5-6 times more than I pay in Canada.

Literally all of them, but look at OpenSSL for a good example.

Literally everything runs off it these days, and it’s like 3 guys and a trenchcoat working on it most of the time.

It’s just how open source / the industry / people are. We all have our own stuff we want to do, so as long as the stuff your using works you don’t tend to care, and if it doesn’t you often don’t have the time or resources to do anything other than tell the owner to fix it.

Ah yes the military famous for their bright minds, or was it crayon eating? I can never remember since all I did was take computer science, physics, and math courses in university.

“my guy” is used as a general reference regardless of the gender of the target, especially if on the internet, when discussing someone who can’t use a fucking garbage bag, but if you wish we can refer to you as “shit for brains” because you certainly don’t have anything useful up there.

We’ll Tesla’s happen to be a shitty book cover to cover, written by an asshole.

So they could at least try to make the cover appealing, even if they are incapable of making the rest of it so.

But celery is blocky and has gaps and doesn’t pack well, the amount you get changes drastically depending on how fine you chop it and on random packing.

The comment you quoted has zero issues, and just paints you as a crazy fucking psycho.

No because it came off of over a decade of research, the mRNA vaccine delivery had been in development for years, COVID is also a type of virus related to other viruses they had developed or were developing vaccines for.

This was not some weekend project dumped out with no thought.

It’s not odd at all that people are willing to take the vaccines. Hundreds of doctors and scientists have been involved in the process of determining how viruses work, how the body fights them how we can use that to improve the bodies response and then how to safely package that for delivery to every person in the country.

There is no blind faith here except for that of doubters, just literal thousands of hours of dedication and science.

Go lookup CANDU reactors, we have designs already that can’t steam explode themselves and instead will fail safe. Also just to be clear nuclear reactors don’t perform a nuclear explosion if they fail, the Chernobyl explosion was a steam explosion that threw nuclear material into the air.
