Wages definitely are pennies on the dollar. However factors like international shipping, taxes/tariffs, quality control and lead times cost more time and money compared to domestic. So in the end it’s probably closer to 1/2 the mo

Hmm I'm not sure here. I asked "Who are you?" and first I got this response. LLaMa didn’t return anything, please try another prompt. It responds best to questions. Then when I asked again I got the same response as

Stallman isn't interested in practical/useful technology. I doubt the guy who has a panic attack at the thought of his browser executing javascript without his permission and uses an email client to download raw HTML has a good al

Mixing commercial and investment banking was banned in 1933 by the Glass Steagall Act. The act was partially repealed in 1999 which allowed banks to engage in both commercial and investment banking again. As far as I know banks have been ab

I’ve personally enjoyed using Immutables even more than Lombok. It produces generated java classes instead of a JAR when you build so it’s easy to view. https://immutables.github.io/

I'm not trying to come off as aggressive. It's that I don't understand what more than 15 tabs could realistically be used for. I don't think I could find a use for more than 15 tabs if I tried at any given time. At work

I don’t understand what’s so complicated about this. I’ve also never allowed myself to have more than 5-6 tabs at a time because it just seemed reasonable. I’m not sure what I could possibly be doing that requires more tabs. I have an organ

The burden of proof is on the people making these claims that entire cities/cultures are overrun with SJWs screaming about pronouns. If what they claim is true, it’d be pretty unlikely that my personal experience is what it is.

Have you ever been outside? I’ve lived in “woke left” cities for years and worked with a lot of “woke left” individuals. Never in my life have I seen someone get angry about pronouns or call someone out for using the wrong pronouns. It’s a

I tried reading the twitter files and it seems to be all smoke and mirrors. Twitter has a clear rule about not sharing hacked information, which this falls under. Besides that point, there’s not even really proof this laptop exists. The evi

The political talking points are unfortunately not that sophisticated. It’s largely about how twitter is run by a cabal of SJWs silencing the freedom to post Hunter Biden’s dick pics or fantasies about the liberals who will throw a tantrum
