America is more than ready, considering how much we spend on the military. This article is a few years old, and definitely sensationalist, but is still an interesting read-

And on top of that, the US Army just started deploying robotic troop carriers, and is finishing up remote combat vehicles for the front lines so that first contact isn't with soldiers. Yes, we're going to have killer robots on the front line. And soon.

I found these cloths years ago, and they clean extremely well and go a long time before needing to wash them. Then I'll just throw them in the laundry with my clothes, take them out and air dry instead of throwing in the dryer.

If I my glasses end up getting particularly dirty, like grease spots from cooking, I do the dawn dish soap method and dry them with one of those cloths.

"Carbon Monoxide is deadly, you can't tell me Carbon Dioxide is any different!"

Just because things have a similar name doesn't mean they're the same thing...

Acedelgado ,

Oh stop pulling an OP. Unnaturally high levels of CO2 can be dangerous after long term exposure - hours in an industrial environment that already has a bunch of other crap in the air. Carbon Monoxide from your home furnace at high levels knocks you out and kills you in 30 minutes. Still not the same.

Because it exposes that someone who is making a living capitalizing off of extremist views that spread mass harm to the populace is a hypocrite that made sure to protect herself while telling everyone else that protection is a hoax, or at the least untrustworthy and harmful. Calling these people on their bullshit is a good thing to do. It's not the same thing as "OMG did you hear Taylor Swift broke up with her 35th boyfriend?!", it actually has real world consequences.

"Taking over another sovereign nation was just a 'special military operation'! It wasn't a 'war' until they started resisting and defending their homes and got assistance from the West! I mean, we all see how that works, right?! They should've just laid down and taken the beating, it would've avoided this whole thing!

...also it would be great if people would stop making fun of our military, it's making recruitment hard. There's only so many people we can imprison and conscript through Wagner."

While I do think we need to enact much stricter gun control, people touting this website about "mass shootings" always gives the outside world the idea that all of them on that list are like the Vegas concert shooting, which people think of when they hear the term "mass shooting."

From their methodology page on how they characterize a mass shooting-

In that, the criteria are simple…if four or more people are shot or killed in a single incident, not including the shooter, that incident is categorized as a mass shooting based purely on that numerical threshold.

If you click through the incidents and read the reports, almost all are isolated incidents. Gang violence, mentally ill people murdering their family and committing suicide, other terrible things like that. Which is tragic and very much strengthens the argument about needing stricter gun control. But people keep linking that page, people go there and see a wall of reports, and assume all of them are crazed gunmen firing indiscriminately into a crowd at a shopping mall or the like. It's not like that at all, but curating the data with their methodology and saying the details don't matter and all mass shootings are the same as long as 4 people are injured just paints a disengenuous picture to people who don't live here. I've seen plenty of people that post they refuse to visit the US because they think they'll be randomly shot for no reason while walking down the street, which isn't at all a normal occurance. Sadly I'm more afraid that if a cop wants to stop and talk to me that I'll get shot much more than I am going to a festival.

The issue with the suicide wasn't at all Linus's fault and is just being thrown around sensationally to make him look as bad as possible.

Linus's old workplace, NCIX (kind of like Canadian Circuit City) went out of business, and he went to the out of business auction to try and get the YouTube silver play button from the NCIX youtube channel that he had started. A young dude that has started his own youtube channel that got screwed out of his own silver play button won the auction, and he just wanted to have one since the marketing network his channel was a part of screwed up and he didn't get one from YouTube despite earning it. Linus approached him and asked to buy it back from him, and the guy agreed. But after Linus saw his YouTube channel and understood his situation, he decided to let the guy keep it since he was being cool about Linus paying him for it at cost of the winning bid, and not trying to extort anything from Linus.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=545&v=cDZfh5IjGv8&feature=youtu.be

But his fans got upset anyway since they're bored teenagers, and started harassing the guy constantly to give the play button to Linus. When he found out, he told the community to stop-

https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/973694443902533632

But of course they didn't, and eventually the guy stopped making videos. He was already depressed and bullied at school and his personal life, and according to the reddit post by his father, he took his own life a couple years later, and his mother ended up committing suicide as well because of it.

I'm pretty angry about the whole situation and the allegations of harassment, but trying to pin a double suicide on a person that didn't cause it for article clicks and up votes is just sickening and unethical, IMO. Linus already has plenty to answer to, but piggybacking off of the recent controversy to try and pin an incredibly sad and serious situation on him that he didn't cause is a disgusting move by shitty media outlets.

Buy a few good reusable masks (that you can run through the washer) that have a metal strip inside to conform to your nose. Have the top of the mask up high on the bridge of your nose and push down on it so the metal strip conforms to your nose shape. Rest the plastic feet of your glasses on top of the metal strip, so that they're resting on the mask and not on your nose. That's what I figured out keeps my breath from escaping the top of the mask so it eliminates fogging.

Luckily it's on Gamepass that I subscribe to anyways. So no regrets of it's bad other than the wasted bandwidth to download.

I think it is a testament to the site’s design that despite constantly testing my patients, I still want to use it

It's cool that you're a doctor and all, but you shouldn't be forcing your patients to use a social media platform.

The TV streaming apps broke their promises, and now they’re jacking up prices (arstechnica.com)

For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in....

Acedelgado ,

It's referring to cable packages. Oh you want to be able to watch FX shows? Then get the blue-tier package to add 30 random channels, 28 of which you don't want for another $30 on top of the base price! Oh you want AMC too? Then get the green tier for another $45 as well that also has 35 channels you don't want. Sorry, we don't have a package with both FX and AMC, you'll need to get the blue AND green packages on top of the $60 base subscription. Sorry, you can't just choose what channels you want.

Circa 2011 it'd just be like Netflix and/or Hulu were all you need to get most of the content since they had deals with the different studios. Now they're all segmenting off onto their own.

And I'm pointing out it wasn't that way 10 years ago.

Apple TV vs Firestick for pirated movies and series?

(Repost ish, from Technology), So I just bought a new telly and to my surprise, not, the OS is rather bad and has very limited amount of apps. Therefore I’ll invest further in either Apple TV or the Firestick. Anyone got any recommendations, tips or hot takes on this in terms of pirated content? Which is more accessible and I...

Yeah the Shield Pro is amazing, even though the last update was 2019. And even with an earlier version of their AI upscaling, 1080p content looks great on 4k. Hopefully with the Switch's successor leaks swirling around it means that they'll do a 2024 update. Probably wishful thinking.
