The problem with Unions is its just the labor. Its the people who do the work. They don't have the money or the political power. The Bosses and Owners have the money, the property, the machines, and political connections. And power&#x2

To be clear, its an anti-Abrahamic sentiment. This includes Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We don't see much of Hinduism and Buddhism and Jainism where I'm at. And none of them are forcing their own religion as state/feder

So, you dont care about children on schoolbusses? None of them have seatbelts. And motorcycles are explicitly allowed, and have no restraints or harnesses. Mopeds, same. Scooters, same. Bicycles, same. Adults *should* have the right to do r

Sigh. What this article is badly saying is that they really don't understand the difference between a *transaction* versus idempotency. You want a rebuildable environment after testing blows it up? Idempotent build scripts. You want to

And when it is permissible to say that a society is trash? Cause 30% who think beating children is OK, is frankly abhorrent. And yeah, Singapore society as a whole is pure trash. When you have monikers like, "Disneyland with the death

We're not required to be in a cop's room for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. We ARE required to be in an authoritarian's room for 8 hour a day, 5 days a week for 12 years. A whole lot more would be arrested, assaulted, and exec

I got 96GB of DDR5 ram 2y ago for $300. Which now, 32GB goes for $300. Fucking insane. But prices will eventually come down as the enterprise and corpo scalpers realize AI is a losing deal for human replacement. Nvidia has already said as m

Its even weirder. What has more calories: 1 lb of peanuts, OR 1 lb of peanuts ground into peanut butter? I cant find the study, but the peanut butter has more calories since its pre-ground and more bioavailable. Peanuts get chomped up but l

Again the key here is "Due Process". Im comparing due process with a judges' signature, compared to shit like FLOCK and other non-search warranted processes. And if the warrant was deemed wrongfully granted, the case itself c
