It's become a pattern of behavior with Musk to sow doubt this way. To me he doesn't just come off as a good steward. He's obviously aware of the ability of his tweets to direct a spotlight on things, and his bent becomes appa

Musk is responsible for his own behavior. The things you use to bolster his reputation are the actions of much larger groups that Musk exerts some control over. I'll take his direct actions when judging his character.

I hit an issue that sounds like this. There was a captcha URL that was getting blocked by my adblocker. Never ran into a thing like that with any other site. No error, no redirect, just silent failure. I was migrating 5 accounts at the time

What part of socialist ideology stipulates the horrible things? It was somewhat inherent in Nazi ideology that there was a superior group and inferior groups. Even this would have resulted in a atrocity, but moreso was their will to export

That sounds like part of the problem. Why should we even know the position of a justice on a topic like that? At best making opinions public just leads to recusing in some cases. At worst it leads to the kind of distrust in the judiciary we

Masks are a small volume though. Wouldn't you need to be breathing shallowly or otherwise have compromised lung capacity to make a noticeable difference? Seems like blood-oxygen levels would be a better proxy for the effects than CO2 l

I don't see how this is different than before. They discuss the changes in 2020, but I'm only finding two things that happened then. - Prop 16 failed, but this maintained the status quo (keeping proposition 209 in place)

"Only" Portland store is kind of a non-sequitur. Technically correct, but the metro has three other stores within about 15 miles. It was a nice downtown location though with the draw being a multitude of shops in a small area. The

Then they should post about what they see then instead of foisting an unsubstantiated headline with non-evidence. Ridiculous to defend this rubbish.

It's almost amusing to see them post part of the text of the bill, and there's nothing in those sections that confirms what they claim. On reddit I ran into the VPN claim, but they only posted the section of the bill that listed f

Questionable messaging about how the story was not being covered, the severity of effects on the environment, and how balloon stories were being used to distract. To counter these points: it got quite a lot of interest [1], but perhaps that

It sucks, but I kind of like how it has opened some space for rp2040 boards with differentiating features. Most are 2-3x cost, but still competitive with say, a teensy or high-end arduino.

Then there are people dismissing it despite the evidence... Trump's campaign staff activity stands on its own. They actively courted Russian influence even if they didn't go so far as to "collude".

There's enough there to remain suspicious. The Trump campaign hid their meetings with Russians (see Flynn's transition meetings). They lied about the purpose of the Trump tower meetings. They have claimed financial ties to Russian
