We really need a push based payment system. It’s absurd someone can take money from you simply by knowing your credit card or bank numbers

Or, even worse: At the whims of the president

It would be a convenient way to bypass having to pass legislation, allowing more consolidation of power in the executive branch

Many are for now. Long-term I don’t expect any company will accept lower profits. Means a whole lot of that tariff inflation is still looming for the consumer

This isn’t yet factoring in tariff inflation. Most compabies have been temporarily eating most of the tariff taxes. We’re going to get a whole lot more inflation in the next year or two, if the tariffs stick around

This is from 1976 (uncertain if this specific passage was change from the original run though)

The US education system has been slowly, but surely gutted since then

Apparently it is real. Wild

Everyone is different. For me, mockery was much more motivating. While it was not a good place, browsing r/FatPeopleHate was what got me to finally get in shape

Lost it a lot faster than it took to get it, for the record

Curl? You thunk I can’t craft my own web requests??

Lakh rupee, so likely India, although some other countries use the same symbol

Eh, there were a dozen different guys that invented flight (or were close to it) around the same time. The Wright Brothers were just the ones to successfully defend their patent

The technology had just progressed to a point where fixed-wing flight was viable, so the invention became inevitable

Well that’s embarrassing for them

Fuck this Russian propaganda bullshit

I just donated to the Ukrainian defense fund to spite OP. Anyone else who wants to donate can do so here: https://u24.gov.ua/

Why wouldn’t those crews just charge their equipment from the alternator? It’s additional wear and tear or the alternator, but far cheaper than a generator

I have no first-hand knowledge of what China is, or isn’t, censoring. Anyone here actually tested it that can weigh in?

On brand for Israel though. There was a popular trend of making pancakes with Rachel Corrie’s face on them after she was killed with a bulldozer

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you’re not a woman. I think you’re underestimating how prevalent and protected sexual assault can be

As an execution method, it’s perfectly fine. Problem is with how they’re doing it. The article shows a full face mask. Those are hard enough to get sealed correctly even if it’s the right size for you. With an unwilling participant and presumably a one-size-fits-all mask, they’re definitely going to be leaking oxygen in, which makes it a slow death while they gasp for more oxygen

What’s your basis for expecting H1-B to no longer exist? Elon Musk is arguable one of the most powerful people in American politics. His companies rely heavily on H1-B visas. He has recently publicly called for them to be more than doubled

Tech should unionize
