I put on a bit of weight a few years back and got up to 99kg. I joked with my partner that if I ate 1kg of cheese, I’d be 1% cheese.
So like, I’m not saying it’s right, but I understand where they’re coming from with the “more, more, more” mentality.
People who are good with tech VASTLY overestimate the general public’s tech literacy.
The entire thing is the author wanking himself silly over his knowledge of pop culture references from his childhood. Some of it reads like it was written by a 14 year old who isn’t all that into books.
The bit about the gaming suit that wanks the user off but also means you’re exercising so you get fit from wearing it was honestly one of the cringiest things I’ve ever read. If I thought the author was capable of the level of self reflection required, I’d have thought writing that part of the book was him acknowledging that the book is literally a work of literary masturbation.
It should have received the same response as The Room; a bad book only made into a cult classic by the people laughing at it.
Does that mean there could be species which humans want to fuck, but which would not consider humans intelligent enough to give proper consent?
I’m guessing New Zealand.
I saw a Vespa today for the first time in ages, and kind of wondered why mopeds have fallen so out of favour. There used always be a few 16 year olds belting about on them.
But why would anyone get one when they can have an ebike? Vespa is likely more expensive, needs petrol, you need a licence, a (relatively) expensive helmet, you need costly insurance.
Compared to an e-bike that’s half the price, doesn’t need a licence or insurance, can be ridden with a normal cycling helmet, and is allowed use bike lanes. It’s a bit of a no brainer.
This is one of the many things Homer taught us all.
“We need to ask ourselves: would the environmental impact of these large industrial-sized solar complexes outweigh the benefits they claim to provide?
What environmental impacts? The concrete used to build them? The interference in the natural habitats of animals in the area?
“There’s definitely a place for solar panels—on rooftops, not on prime agricultural land that our community relies on.
Oh, those environmental impacts. If the land is so good for farming, why has the farmer seemingly sold it to be turned into a solar farm?
Ya, it’d still be huge for Firefox, but what I’m really getting at is that even with this change, Chrome is going nowhere. They’re the big fish, they can afford to make these kinds of changes, because the people who care are a very small minority.
If coos don’t want to their they shouldn’t get paid.
I think this should be “If COOs don’t want to work there, they shouldn’t get paid”.
Or are getting somewhere else
No idea on this bit. Maybe “or should get a job somewhere else”?
The uBlock Origin chrome extension has had 34 million users.
Chrome has 3.45 billion users.
Even if every uBlock user switched, it’s less than 1% of chrome users.
Randall’s 40, but that’s still not old.
