And Slack is just IRC for people who don't know better am I right?

There's a good argument to be made around helping local economies with this as well. Part of auto's impact during the 20th century was creating all these small businesses of car dealers, auto repair shops, oil change stations, gas

There was no silence around it. The images were shown very readily and commented on openly. "Silence" apparently is a very squishy term, the media showed images of violence and unrest during the summer just as much as they did wit

The context around a lot of riots from the summer sits in my head pretty heavily. I don't like seeing rioting and vandalism as much as the next person, but I also recognize where it came from. I'm having a tough time reconciling t

Maybe go peek at some of Lin Wood's posts then.

I'm still fairly upset that the outrage wasn't louder over that, but recent events have at least pulled that event back in the spotlight.

I couldn't give a shit about CNN and I imagine most on here who don't watch Fox would say the same.

Whoa are you arguing that armed people DIDN'T storm the capitol? They were indeed armed and yes it was televised. Your inability to see what's in front of you willingly doesn't cause rest of us to be blind.

And yet they didn't, the Women's March following Trump's election was far larger and didn't lead to this.

Then the 99% are doing an awfully bad job at telling their peers they are wrong.

Do we placate them by refusing to acknowledge an obvious win? I'm sorry but it went way too far. The president and everyone who went along with his BS were writing checks they couldn't cash and so their followers go all worked up

No one is saying there's zero fraud, it happens every election on very small scales, but its only ever at the scale to affect elections that are within a few hundred votes. None of the states were anything close to that.

Also the main argument this group was making for the last 2 months was to disenfranchise much of the US voting population. The people voted, and this group attempted to say it wasn't legitimate. They proved nothing in court to their cl

You're welcome to look it up before making a flippant question next time.

I remember when I worked at a startup and we were trying to get a team at Apple to purchase our SaaS product. They wanted the software hosted on a Mac, so we ran it on a Mini to demo. Also strange things like presenting them in Slides inste

After about 20 hours or so into it I was pretty shocked to see people who have comments that say its a great RPG or that the gameplay is great. Because at least for someone who likes to try out lots of different games, not just the big tent

Food for thought in this discussion: there are chemical battlefields from WWI that were thought to be largely inhabitable by any lifeform that have slowly but surely been retaken by nature. The trenches and craters created by mortars and la

Not OP but I would absolutely advocate for that. Urban areas are like huge toxic wastelands to the natural world and inhibit so much growth and biodiversity. Its very possible to imagine cities that integrate nature into their design rather

The CO2 part is easier to predict than nature's response, it's also the part that we humans have more control over. Part of the problem with assuming nature will do its thing is that it could take much longer for nature to sort ou

I think if all you go by are headlines that press on the outlier events then you'll probably be in perpetual awe of how wrong science is. Comets are consistently flying by earth and always have some small chance of collision. Doesn&#x2

I'll state that I think the cons currently outweigh the benefits with most TSA practices, but the justification is verifying that you are who you say you are. AFAIK this is the only area we do this sort of strict verification in additi

Complete opposite experience for me, it almost felt like they paired too easily. Switching devices is the only situation that I find annoying since I need to open up the bluetooth menu and tell it to connect.

With my airpods I think I've gone a max of 8 miles in a single run and have only run into issues when the batteries are partially drained before I take off. I've gotten better over time about keeping them charged. I've probab

For sure, I mean I always knew I could find something else looking around, but I was into the idea of having something that connected super easily and that I could trust would work. Plus half of my co-workers had them and swore by them, wor

Same experience for me, but I do understand that they don't snuggly fit everyone's ears.

I dunno, I felt the same way about the normal Airpods until I relented and bought them and its almost weird to say that its been a huge quality of life improvement for me. Running is far more enjoyable without the cables. Pretty easy to car

There's a certain demographic in the US that is largely apathetic toward most issues until there's a price tag associated with it, at which point they leap to their bedroom office chairs to post incessantly on facebook about it.

There's a well painted cycle lane for me going to work, but I've gotten in an accident on it while completely obeying the laws (nearly twice in the same spot). Drivers need to cross a blind intersection with limited signage, so ev

Nothing more American than taking a politically expedient position and then kicking the can down the road for future generations to deal with.

I do believe you need a balance of habitual activities and trying new things. Doing stuff you've never done before and going to places you've never seen has the effect of slowing down the perception of time, which is great if you
