For sure my "genocide supporting" brain center took critical damage and is not operational.

That's a crazy way to defend an ongoing genocide. The scale is so different that the only way to miss it is willful bad faith. How long and how far do you go with that justification? Does it work the other way too? Are "their&quot

Reads to me like the author is trying to elicit some empathy. It just sounds like he was just fine leaving his family for a job. Not getting paid couldn’t have factored into that decision.

When all else fails, read the manual. It’s a tried and tested practice among experts worth their salt. A lit of practices save you 10s each day but when they fail you lose 10 years’ worth of savings.

What's cheaper than an already existing phone that would otherwise stay unused or end up in the landfill (recycling center)? It could also be a great experimentation platform, play with Linux on the phone, but the time I have available

Too bad they have these long lists of "this doesn't work so well" and I'm too time constrained to troubleshoot for too long or dig for solutions. And I'd also need to replace the battery. It's an option for whe

I just replaced my OnePlus 5 a couple of months ago at over 8.5 years old. No repairs needed, battery was a bit crippled in active use, especially making calls, but fine for a mostly idling phone. In idle it still lasts longer than a 1.5 ye

The suggestion that Cuba would risk that for no obvious benefit is weird. Some wildcards in Cuba might be doing this unsanctioned. But any Cuban sanctioned/sponsored attack is very unrealistic. Cuba is the easiest target the US could h

I think we're talking about 2 different things. I'm not sure where Roblox fits into what I said. The problem I describe is companies pushing towards the "rent" model vs. "buy to own". Nvidia was just an example

That’s true but that fragmentation is also what limits the propagation of fractures. You can see it like sandboxing. A deal with foreign intelligence is a dead with the devil that comes with a lifetime of subservience. And subservience to f

ESA is one of the largest space agencies in the world. There’s nothing opaque about calling it ESA especially in a title. We wouldn’t use initialisms if everything had to be expanded all the time.
