In the case of no line-of-sight, yes, but lasers would be more effective.

Event horizon surfing is probably a thing somewhere too.

I seriously doubt it. "Diuretic" means peeing, not pooping. Watermelon is a diuretic. Dates are high in fiber, potassium, sugar, and might cause a bowel obstruction.

Corporations can do whatever they want with regards to limiting speech and throwing people out. Depending on or demanding fairness from corporations is the fundamental problem. If you want fairness, nonprofit hardware and software platforms

Yep. You can make friends with crows, and they will remember you for a very long time. If you get shiny things, then you're the crow's meow. Bones maybe just "meh." https://youtu.be/dg3ApNJct6Q https:&#

I love bacon, burgers, hot dogs, fillet mignon, and porterhouse too, but I don't eat them because they're suicidal and omnicidal choices, like slurping down 256 oz. of HFCS, smoking 6 packs a day, or weighing 200 kg. If there were

Two things. Wage slavery and lack of ownership of the means of production are huge problems, among many other problems. However, there is no single, prescriptive utopian panacea; this would be an unserious, rhetorical ejaculation. If it &qu

How is this any different from hybrid vehicles still burning FF? Yes, it makes it slightly better, but eating certain protein sources is a choice, whereas transportation infrastructure is an economically-limited choice. Animal ag still caus

Yeap. It's basically semi-interactive, TV-on-demand and not much better. Theoretically, individual creators can start from nothing but they have no power when megacorps come along and claim videos they didn't make at all to extort

Corporations gonna corporate. How YT abuses creators and viewers, it would be better for all to go to a non-profit, sustainable platform that has clear, straightforward processes and doesn't ban people without a reason by algorithms. C

Something's gotta give. If your business can't survive paying livable wages or the rent is too high, move or do something else. Also, the amount of residential and commercial back-rent, and pending evictions stacking-up is another

Louis Rossmann discussed this in a video recently: https://youtu.be/vt_3OLs_lXE Also, I would add that customers and stores are like a symbiotic population ecosystem. You kill one, you kill the other. And then as people shi

Yep. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Actual exceptionalism ended coinciding with the end of WW2. It's America's slow and steady decline like Rome. 250 years / 10 generations is about all a civilization typically lasts.

Depends what one means by "mainstream." RT and Sputnik do a little coverage. Also not mainstream, TJDS and Chris Hedges cover it. Furthermore, the growing problems of conspiracy theory cults is partially due to incompetent leaders

I can't wait for the "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear" refrains to be trotted out yet again. Inverted totalitarian klepto-plutocracy wins against any individual who doesn't take extra-ordinary

Economic apartheid. Justice isn't blind, some people only pretend it's a meritocracy. Just ask Chris Hedges about the students he teaches in prison who are mostly black and poor who will die there because they couldn't afford

Maybe I'm wrong, but it comes across as encouraging knowledge-hoarding, omitting documentation, and other job-securing, second-stringer games like writing obscure code no one else can understand. That would be the mark of the unprofess

Yep, the science is in. Lead, asbestos, DDT, PCBs, and PTFE/PFOS/PFOA. 3M Scotchgard (spray-on water-repellent for materials) was mostly PFOS, now it's PFBS. Hipora, OTOH, is silicon-based. SympaTex is polyester-based. On ano

In a cool world, Apple would have an optional, unmonetized un-curated community app store that allows everything but criminal facilitation, is scanned for malware, and possibly requires open source.

How come the cover was censored on QI but there exists things in the UK like page 3 girls? Is a newspaper/tabloid somehow different or less accessible to minors than the tele?

Wait, they employed people to censor individual items of commercial art manually? Swimming trunks is a pretty funny way to do it. Meanwhile, The Stones' Live Licks European cover is better because the American one has a bra.

TL;DR: Smartphones with either productivity or socialization don't mix. I don't doubt it. During work, notes should be taken on paper and smartphones should be left away as a general guide. I also think the same should apply to so

Yes, and it happens when there are no apparent viable alternatives, when there are alternatives such as The Grayzone, TJDS, Chris Hedges, Ralph Nader but they are buried, undiscoverable, inaccessible, and/or banished from the mainstr

This looks like an under-recognized, purposefully-anti-competitive gambit to lock people further into Apple's hardware ecosystem, limit consumer choices, and purposely ruin a customer's product if they stray outside the walled gar
