You understand we are talking about Google Ads right? Of course they are double-dipping; they use your YT premium video info as more fuel for their internet-spanning ad network megalith. They don't need to show you ads in the videos th

This notion that the creators and artists are raking up the wealth generated by people consuming their creations is obviously wrong. Intellectual property in general, but especially copyright, has been a colossal failure -- rent-seeking mid

The word "sober" here is being used like it is used by eg NA/AA; "sober" = exclusively sober (excluding caffeine and nicotine).

I encourage you to commute daily via BART for 5+ years and come away with the impression that I am "exaggerat[ing] how often it happens".

A road rage incident where someone pulls out a gun is notable enough to get a newspaper article. Phone snatching, seeing people smoke meth on BART, encountering disgusting things, etc, etc are daily occurrences. This is not an apples to app

Again, we're talking about casting . Take a look at an Owen or a Sten and get back to me on what parts you think can be plausibly lost-PLA casted.

This is in the context of firearms, which are presumably modern repeating firearms, where they will cease to function if the tolerances are wrong.

iOS is a smartphone/tablet OS, I'm not sure how you think it should be used in corporate environments. If you're talking about macOS and the fact that there are no servers running it, that is fair enough, but OP was talking a
