Yeah, they’re more like dirigibles than airplanes. But same as airplanes, people have had a hard time believing that something made of metal can float.

I vaguely remember seeing a video that explained that how it’s usually explained is wrong. That’s what they’re probably referring to. But it wasn’t that we don’t actually know how it works, just that the common simplification is not technically correct (which happens often with these things).

Like a submarine?

If I saw my wife doing that, I’d consider it a ploy to make me have her step aside so I can show her how to do it. It would probably work.

So you’re saying that some of the answers are flat out lies like in your example?

So that’s either true in practice, in which case there’s no problem putting the candidates’ views there, since they represent the party too; or it’s false in practice, in which case the candidates’ views should be there, because that’s who you’re voting for.

It’s a comparison between Harris and Trump, not between the parties.

I’ve been in Honolulu this past week and saw loud Trump supporter caravans going through the city twice, loud group of Trump supporters in front of the state capitol, and another one I don’t remember where. Not sure what they’re trying to achieve with all this.

I’ve had my Samsung Bar for 5 years now and no issue with it, if that’s worth anything

Started smoking at 12 too, also in the 90s. Quit in high-school.

Some great ones were already mentioned. I’ll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).

I’ll never understand consuming this type of information in video format.

Yes, there are people with well argumented reasons against loosening immigration laws or giving more rights to illegal immigrants. But it is a fact that there is a large number or immigrants who oppose them simply for the reason that others shouldn’t get what they got without going through the same hard work. I’ve seen very angry groups of immigrants opposing drivers licenses for illegal immigrants for just that reason. It wasn’t about best of the best or extraordinary ability.

Same for student loan forgiveness. There are a lot of people who oppose it just because “it isn’t fair” that they had to pay theirs and others wouldn’t.

I think that logic is flawed and petty.

I personally have not much stake in the matter. I’m a legal immigrant, doing one of those jobs that required proof that I’m highly qualified. And I got to be highly qualified for free because I didn’t study in the US.

Immigration was hard for me, so it should be hard for others too.

Same sentiment as being against student loan forgiveness because you already paid yours off.

Awestruck seeing all those calls in a one hour interval. It would have been at least 2 weeks for me. Making one phone call requires a full day of pre-call preparation and after-call recovery.

The board of directors decided that indefinite pause sounds better than stop

There are definitely different prices when I’m logged in vs when I’m not. My wife sends me a links to products, and I usually open any link in incognito windows. Several times I was not seeing the same price as her. Opening the same link on my account would show the same price.

Well, I haven’t played these types of games when I was young. But I have no intention of spending money on microtransactions and the games I’ve chosen have been fun as a f2p player, so they work for me.

As for my kids, they’re still in elementary school and they’ve been raised mostly screen-free, so it’s not something I need to worry about just yet.

I play these games in bursts. Play until exhausting the actual content, then stop when it turns into a grind-fest. Come back a year or two later when there’s enough new content to make it fun again. Usually also with a whole bunch of returning player rewards. Repeat.

A I never ever spend a single cent in these games.

Games that I play include Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, both of which I just checked and don’t work on Linux due to anticheat protection. I see there are some alternative open-source launchers that would get them working on Linux and Mac, but I wouldn’t risk my account using those.
