Yeah, this is literally an ‘OK Boomer’ moment. Like, how expensive could it really be to live in Manhattan these days?

Is there betting (such as buy-in / ante) in Balatro?

Is there in MtG?

Agreed, gambling doesn’t have to be for money or even anything tangibly real.

Alcohol production licensing laws probably play a larger role than the cost of ethanol.

I’d like to propose a middle ground. As someone who puts effort into avoiding added sugars, it is much more difficult to find unsweetened tea at some chain restaurants or convenience stores.

Being from the North, I’m no authority on Sweet Tea, but I’ve heard that it’s nearly saturated with sugar. If so, that’s not what’s usually available either.

I’ve encountered many a place selling sweetened tea (that may not qualify as proper Sweet Tea), but they didn’t have unsweetened tea.

I bet you could create a community on that instance, and then you’d be a mod too and have just as much power as the dude above.

Do you think the whole “not really recyclable” trope could actually be a campaign by big oil to resign people to the assertion that we just need to keep producing more new plastics?

“Sunscreen lotion” – a confused amalgamation of the previous terms – is not a thing and only misleads people

So confidently stated yet so very wrong. Citation - an example that’s available nationwide: https://no-ad.com/product/spf-85-sunscreen-lotion-3-oz/

Even if my country adopted a GDPR-like regulation, that regulation would only apply to my privacy. Not yours.

That could depend on how the regulation is written, so we should push to have these new regulations cover all users of services hosted in our countries.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong because I don’t know how proton works on this. These type of things usually don’t send the protected content in the email to the recipient’s server, they just send a link that the recipient opens and it’s all still kept on the private service’s server.

Respectfully, when you wrote

They’ve moved so far towards neoliberal policy positions that they no longer have an economic message to give their working-class base. In the absence of a coherent economic vision for the party, they keep doubling down on, “identity politics,”

It seems like you agree with

some Democratic National Committee members are concluding that the party is too “woke,” too focused on identity politics and too out of touch with broad stretches of America

I also think that if the Dems want to win, they need to simplify their platform and messaging to focus on what will help working-class people the most. I agree that abandoning people is not the answer, but the messaging and focus needs to be more universal.

“We’ve always done it this way” is obviously a super thoughtful response which completely justifies this and any other situation where it can be stated.

Exactly how does it apply? It didn’t come from a “King, Prince, or foreign State”. I could declare that I grant you a title, but because it isn’t coming from a monarch it’s meaningless and that article doesn’t apply.

I don’t think the U.S. Constitution bans anyone from getting a title from some random French family, only from a “King, Prince, or foreign State”.

Is this article intentionally misrepresenting? There’s plenty of scummy things he’s done without having to invent weird distractions.

Don’t all modern browsers allow you to disable auto-playing of video, even per-site if desired?

Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

No, that isn’t accurate and isn’t getting it.

All the data caps today are for total cumulative quantity per billing cycle. That is not a reliable method for controlling what actually bogs things down, which is the bandwidth used at any moment (speed).

Limiting bandwidth is also done by most ISPs today, but that’s not what this is asking to change. The data caps are exclusively a way to charge more.

Filming / photography in public is a First Amendment protected activity.

While I think that the lid can help a little by limiting air exchange, the purpose of these water barriers in fermentation is more to filter out larger objects and they don’t hermetically seal. Exclusion of insects and airborne microbes help prevent undesired flavors. While they do create a slight bit of back-pressure, if the fermentation produces a significant amount of gas they need to let it pass through as stonewear cannot hold much pressure before it would break.

Some people have rigged up carbon filters on the output of various fermentation vessels, so if spouses or apartment neighbors would object to the aroma that approach may be worth investigating. Nobody should let smells stop them without attempting solutions!

No misunderstanding - I get what you’re saying and I disagree.

I also don’t agree that expecting journalists to be accurate makes someone an asshole. If they were reporting on an automobile and wrote that the spark plugs make 500HP we could guess what they likely meant, but we’d also recognize the journalist’s ignorance. They should educate themselves on their subject matter so they can do their job properly.
