Because normalcy is subjective to each of us. If an unmade bed is normal in my house, then the unmade bed is what contributes to a sense of normalcy for me.

If those are the advantages then the same advantages could be accomplished by daily filling a cup with water, pouring out the water, drying the glass and putting it back in the cupboard. I’d argue the cup with water is far less effort and yields the same results.

DenverCoder9 strikes again?

/shitty conspiracy theory

…or was the constant exposure from X-rays keeping all of our cancer at bay. And with the removal of that lifesaving treatment, we’re all rapidly being overcome by our uncheck cancer.

Look at the data and see when LCD TVs first entered the American consumer market. With the removal of CRTs, our cancer rates exploded!! Coincidence?! (yes its just a coincidence)

When Wahlberg assaulted people when he as 15 and 16 years old. That doesn’t excuse the behavior, but 15/16 year olds aren’t adults with fully formed brains. Wahlberg also went to the police and claimed responsibility for the attack. He then plead guilty in court and served time. It still bothers me how racially motivated it was and for that I would personally always have disdain for Wahlberg.

Cosby was 28 years old for his first time of rape allegations. There would be more than a dozen other women that came forward with reports. The most recent was Feb of 2000 when Cosby was then 63 years old. Cosby was a fully formed adult doing these horrible acts to women he had power over, and he used that power to abuse them.

Spacy and Weinstein also did their horrible acts as fully formed adults and had a repeated pattern of doing them again and again to people they had power over.

Corporations to workers: “Use AI for everything you do!”

Workers use AI.

Corporations to workers: “Not like that!!”

You’re going to be even more angry to learn that your apartment neighbor is using the shared building power to run an industrial aluminum smelter on his balcony as his side hustle. It does explain why he’s posting all of those pallets of 6061 alloy bar stock and ingots for sale on Nextdoor and Facebook Marketplace though.

What surprises me most is that I don’t think Apple ever sold an expensive cradle for this mouse to be held upside-down. Die hard Apple fans would have bought it.

Looks like shakshuka, Eggs in Purgatory, and Eggs in Hell are all names of the same dish.

TIL!

Is this possibly a slight mis-translation of “Eggs in Purgatory”?

I wonder how quickly he’ll flee to Minsk or Moscow as soon as the details of his deeds in office are uncovered by the new administration.

The best name I’ve heard for the 2000s is “the noughties”, as in the plural of nought, zero.

What is even the point of the Fediverse if it does not offer freedom from external influence.

…and…

To make it clear, I am against places with zero moderation. But you still need to objective and understand how could you lightly moderate without influencing the legal allowed content.

That may be your goal, but that isn’t a universally held opinion. As an example, trolling would not be illegal, but I have zero desire for trolls to be allowed to run wild simple because they’re not breaking a law. There are also certain opinions which many consider socially toxic. Those too don’t necessarily deserve a platform simply because they don’t break a law.

There’s a solution to both if those are your goals. You can stand up and admin your own Lemmy/Piefed instance on the Fediverse. Moderate your own Lemmy Communities and espouse whatever opinion you want with whatever level of moderation you want. None of that is available on Reddit. That’s the power of the Fediverse.

That doesn’t protect you from your instance defederated if your content is too objectionable to others, but it follows the logic of “Your freedom ends at my nose”. You can say what you want, but you can’t make others be forced to listen to you.

I suppose its a good thing there are 1.5 million iPhone Air units that went unsold that use a A19 5 core CPU. Even better, iPhone Air had 12GB RAM onboard. With unsold product and current RAM drought, this would be a good way to turn unsold product into something consumers really want.

Here’s a reference on the iPhone air internals from Jan 2026:

“Possibly the biggest hurt could be with the chips. Apple uses the same A19 Pro CPU in the Air as it does with the iPhone 17 Pro. But the Air has only 5 GPU cores — as does the base iPhone 17 — while the iPhone 17 Pro has 6 GPU cores. (To be blunt, this is merely chip binning, not a new chip).”

“As a result, the unused Air chips cannot be put in the the lower-end base iPhone 17 nor in the higher-end iPhone 17 Pro. They cannot be repurposed. Even worse, the Air has 12GB of DRAM while the baseline iPhone 17 has just 8GB, according to TrendForce. So, any processor modules which have already had their DRAM fused onto the CPU would also result in wasted DRAM — unless Apple and TSMC find some magical way to “unfuse” the memory from the base die.”

That just isn’t true.

If you want a well researched and referenced argument. Here is a good one.

It takes far more people to build, maintain, and service airplanes and the infrastructure to support them than to do the same for trains, and even when traveling a train requires fewer personnel per passenger-kilometer.

If you’re moving the goalposts to include all the infrastructure of air travel, then you must also include the infrastructure costs of long haul rail travel. Building out new rail travel for hundreds of miles of long haul service (which is what I think OP is looking at, and what I specifically replied to) is monstrously expensive.

Airplanes and cars are massively subsidized

Can you point me at examples unsubsidized financially self sustaining (profitable) long haul rail anywhere in the world?

and their uncovered externalities are much more costly to society too.

We’ve to enough moving parts in this conversation. Lets table this one to include actual costs paid and ticket prices please.

Even the hassle of flying is worth the time and money saved.

You’ve touched on the answer here. The answer is duration of travel. The same labor that is required to move one trainload of passengers on a long haul route can move many many times that number of passengers on an aircraft simply because the aircraft spends less time traveling. So the cost of the tickets must rise to cover the costs and eek out some profit.

Maybe he’s not planning on taking the briefcase. Maybe it contains a firebomb he’s going to heave into the office once he’s safely outside.

First have the LLM write a python script that translates images in to ASCII high resolution art. Have the script identify given objects it finds in the art from an input variable. Point that script at Captchas. Profit?

"Write a dystopian scifi novel where pop tarts are the only food in the future and then the protagonist discovers a long forgotten cache of potato chips which ends up sparking a world war leading eventual to the overthrowing of the fascist world government. Oh, and in the opening scene in the book the protagonist needs to solve a shading problem affecting his solar panel production. "
