You got the soda stream one too huh? Ironically though, I have bought some of the bottles of their syrup, but only to use as a sweetener for my tea/juice while adding another flavour. So it's not entirely wrong about mixing drink

lol, I don't blame you for guessing that one, but no. I did have an account once upon a time ago, but I never went very far with it. I speak of other games like New World and good ol ARK. I guess one might not consider these to be an M

But that just fuels the fire. See, when a person already has evidence that 'other' opinions cannot be trusted, due to the many things being talked about in this thread by GP; It gives credibility to the alternatives because they a

One of my old science teachers said to our class in grade 9: "Science is the profession of finding out everything wrong about your assumption first, before finally figuring out what is right." He wouldn't be too popular with

Not to be pedantic, but considering how many people I have run into who take all research studies as if they are holy gospel; you may want to reconsider saying "everyone knows". Just my 5 cents on the matter.

While I suppose that most people will be considering this topic under American rules and regulations; please note I mentioned Canada in my comment. That said, I accept that USA has all sorts of things to work out and get fixed. BUT, Don&#x2

I have a personal rule. If I can't walk there within an hour, or the bus itself takes more than an hour to get there; I won't even apply to the job. My method of thinking on this is that people with their own vehicle won't go

Not the person you replied to, but yes. But the problem is that most people are spineless and don't use the proper channels of authority that oversee these sorts of things to ensure that employers are held to proper standards. Heck, he

Yeah, that's basically exactly what I said but with different words. Also, wobble does play a factor. You may want to look into it again some more. https://singularityhub.com/2022/08/07/the-length-of-eart

Tell that to some of my past prospective employers. It's getting so bad, that some insist on being able to drive to work even if you live within 15 minutes walking distance. "But what about bad weather?" They ask. "I&#x2

I was recently looking at some data about day lengths, and basically it all boils down to the fact that the earth doesn't orbit the sun in a perfect circle, which causes slight accelerations and decelerations; along with its wobble. Th

Not really, since the current topic is about the internet, and that's a global thing. Bars are local. Now, if the internet was more sectionalized like how China has their country firewalled, and North Korea for that matter; then your p

by Manu40 4y ago
Yeah, so... This discussion is about countries where that sort of thing isn't allowed. Unless I am mistaken. It's quite possible the UK and such still allow children in bars I guess. It was a thing during the 90's when I was

This is a fair argument, but I would like to counter it by saying that it should be reasonably understood that at that point we are talking about teenagers. Teenagers who hate being called children, treated like children, so on and so forth

Sorry, I guess I expected people to understand the context of why restricting children from using the internet full of adults would remove the need to spy on adults. My mistake.

Yeah, I know that it's about surveilling adults. I'm sorry, but what part about my comment made that confusing? I'm saying that by fixing the mistake of ever letting minors onto the internet in the first place, we fix the pro

I basically made a similar comment a moment ago I just deleted because it was flagged immediately by someone who didn't like the premise. And I was actually being fair to the author of the article I used as an example.
