It's almost as if that's why the gold standard is a nuclear baseline with renewable to meet demand spikes.

Sitting here and complaining about how long it'll take once we start, and as such never actually starting, is exactly how we got here.

Tends to be true of the vast majority of people that scream about how smart they are

TIL The first air conditioner was created not for cooling a room but to prevent humidity causing swelling pages and blurry prints in a printing press (www.smithsonianmag.com)

At the turn of the 20th century, humidity threatened the reputation of Brooklyn’s Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographic and Publishing Company’s high-quality color printing. After two summers of extreme heat disrupted business and caused swelling pages and blurry prints, the printing company found that a nascent cooling industry...

Likely gonna make at least that much from speaking deals and being on think tank boards and the like anyway. Doing your best to improve the nation, thus improving your image, could very easily sharply increase the money you make from those gigs. Even at that level I wouldn't have the slightest clue as to what to do with the money, so I sure as hell wouldn't really want more.

Fun fact, tobacco companies are the one that got tobacco advertising banned.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

2 main reasons

  1. fair play laws required 1 anti smoking PSA to be aired for every ~3 smoking advertisements. This was causing the first downturn in the amount of smokers for pretty much the first time
  2. it made it basically impossible for any new tobacco companies to take any marketshare from the established brands

It very much feels significantly more like incompetence than malice (not that I think any particular person at LMG is incompetent. The processes likely are however). Honestly LMG just probably grew way faster than any of their processes could scale.

I keep people saying they're missing things from chrome. I honestly don't get it, if anything I've had more usable features since switching back to FF

Basically every single "missing feature" I've seen people complain about exists on FF, they're just too lazy to actually check

There was a stretch of time where it was legitimately the best popular browser for the vast majority of people. Then it just became the default, and nobody bothered to switch back once it started going to shit

Yep. My area technically has a county bus service, but it only visits each stop 3 or 4 times a day. Throw in the fact that even if you're lucky there's a "bike lane" that's about a meter wide and all the cars completely ignore. Just not at all an option

While some firms are requiring more in-office time, citing collaboration needs, others are scaling back requirements due to retention issues. Successful companies...
