House Republicans Propose Renaming Oceans After Donald Trump (dailyboulder.com)

House Republicans have ignited a firestorm with a proposed bill that would rename the vast coastal waters encircling the United States after former President Donald Trump. The legislation, spearheaded by Florida Representative Greg Steube, seeks to rebrand the US Exclusive Economic Zone as the “Donald John Trump Exclusive...

Unfortunately being aware of the dead cat is part of the dead cat strategy. It’s only alive if you aren’t aware of it.

Like The Game, which you just lost.

He sues the agency to tie everything up in the courts. It’s a power move that only the wealthy can do.

Are you implying that if my office isn’t in a certain country, that means my software doesn’t have to obey that country’s regulatory agencies?

Ah the ol’ “If I didn’t accept the money to do something unethical, then someone else would have done it.” argument.

Essentially, if you’re nice enough you’re allowed to do something bad once in a while.

It doesn’t make sense.

Dave will have a manager that knows this stuff. Do you think Dave does all the administration that is required to set up a concert? The guy probably has a team of people. There is no way that they didn’t know. Amazon has a public reputation.

Isoprenoid ,

You can’t blame Dave then.

If his manager set up a performance for neo-Nazis, you don’t think Dave still has a say?

Dave: “Oh no, my manager set up that performance for the group of sex offenders. You can’t blame me, I just play in the band.”

Please.

Isoprenoid ,

Is it stamped on their heads that they are neo Nazis

You’re right, sometimes it’s hard to tell, especially when you can’t see their foreheads. How else are we supposed to know?

How was Dave and his managers supposed to know that Amazon is a terrible company?

Meeting people at work is the worst way to meet people.

“Oh hey. Our major thing in common is that we’re both working for the same business.

Lets hook up so that we can be constantly reminded of work when we see each other.

On top of that: if we break up (which is highly likely) it’ll get awkward at the place where we gain money to pay for necessities.”

No thanks.

Edit: Also the reason why Korea has a low birth rate isn’t due to “not dating at work”.

Careful, many online atheists don’t understand that they have to prove a negative. That they have to prove the assertion: “There is no god.”

The default position is that there is yet insufficient evidence to draw a conclusion.

Edit: Thank you for the downvotes, you have provided me with further evidence that online atheists don’t understand that they have to prove a negative. Your butthurt fuels me.

Isoprenoid ,

You have made the assertion, thus you have the burden of proof.

“what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence” QED

Isoprenoid ,

No. A negative can be proven. It’s done all the time in science and mathematics.

that’s not how evidence and proof works.

Proof of a negative is common in science and mathematics.

No, you can’t prove that something never happens or that something doesn’t exist.

I wasn’t arguing for the existence of god.

Let me break this down:

  • “There is a god.” --> Burden of proof
  • "There is no god." --> Burden of proof
  • "Hey, man. I don’t know." —> No burden of proof
Isoprenoid ,

No, you can’t prove that something never happens or that something doesn’t exist.

Science, philosophy, and mathematics say otherwise.

Negative claims require evidence.

Otherwise a safety engineer can go to a regulator and say “There are no structural issues with this building.” He is claiming there are no issues, he needs to back that up with evidence.

Your Jedi mind tricks won’t work on me. 😜

Isoprenoid ,

“There is enough evidence to be confident there aren’t structural problems” is what they’re really saying.

Bro, the graphite is not there. Everything is completely normal.

If you’re claiming my fridge has no tiny invisible pink elephants you are welcome to provide evidence.

I will make no claims on the matter and thus have to provide no evidence either way.

Edit: I think you’re confusing me for the other guy.

Isoprenoid ,

Believing claims on the grounds that they haven’t been disproven is just bad epistemology

Well, it’s a good thing that wasn’t my position.

The last two were because Sony was storing personal data. This store made them a target.

Like the personal data they require when you sign up to PSN to play Helldivers 2.

If they don’t collect data, they wouldn’t be such a juicy target. So, yes, it is partly their own fault because they took the known risk of storing personal information.

They played with fire and got burned … more than once.

I needed a clarification, Wikipedia had your back.

The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal species; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species.

About 30%, which is industry standard.

Considering that Steam is more accessible to smaller developers (as the article points out), how much do you think they should take?

Isoprenoid ,

Nothing a man should risk once you have children.

There is risk in everything. Being an employee and relying on a business to provide you with money is risky, yet billions of men take that risk across their working lives.

If a man cannot risk anything to have a family, then there will never be any man who qualifies.

In fact many men work high risk jobs because they pay the most.

Isoprenoid ,

What you mentioned are risks that have a payoff; … This doesn’t really. Maybe he makes slightly more money

Is $3 million net worth at 36 years old “slightly more money” these days? I’m further behind than I thought.

www.climbingfacts.com/alex-honnold-net-worth/

Isoprenoid ,

How much would he make using ropes. I’m sure it’d be pretty damn close.

I’m confident he would be just another climber and wouldn’t be world famous and wouldn’t be able to demand such high payment. He makes fat stacks because he is extraordinary, not because he’s doing what everyone else is doing.

Alex Honnold (born August 17, 1985) is an American rock climber best known for his free solo ascents of big walls. Honnold rose to worldwide fame in June 2017 when he became the first person to free solo a route on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park (via the 2,900-foot route Freerider at 5.13a, the first-ever at that grade),

Fortune favours the bold.

I would argue that the saying “Nothing a man should risk once you have children.” is doing exactly as you are describing.

Isoprenoid ,

Temperature affects the taste of many foods. Temperature change doesn’t affect the specific basic flavours (e.g. salty, bitter, umami, sweet) in the same way. So increasing or decreasing the temperature of a food item will change its taste profile.

The source I found says that it is difficult to tell if temperature change will make a food taste “better” or “worse”. It depends on too many factors.

In your case it seems that increasing the temperature of cheese makes it taste better for you. It’ll probably be because you like the taste profile of melted cheese over solid cheese. Maybe try and perceive what specifically it is about the taste profile that changes for you. Maybe you perceive it as more or less salty, more or less umami.
