I for one welcome our new crab overlords!

Prison systems around the world, and particularly those in America, routinely strip people of everything they earn and put them in dark holes for significantly less. The people doing these things know what they are doing and continue to do it without working to correct the issues. Torturing animals in a regulated test setting is well beyond carrying some weed or the mistake of being black and in the wrong place.

I’m all for rehabilitation, but how do you rehabilitate people who have decided torturing animals for extended periods of time is okay?

You read the account of what those animals went through and didn’t feel sick? If that’s the case then whatever sky fairy you’re thanking has not helped you become a good person. Maybe seek some help to deal with your lack of empathy?

Animals will always play a part in medical testing but effectively torturing a number of animals for months on end is well shy of a well constructed ethical experiment.

While there is an obvious issue with Musk clearly being in a position to know that this was going on and not shutting it down, it saddens me that there was (is) a team (multiple teams?!) of highly qualified medical scientists that were (are) psychopathic enough to actually do this horrific shit over an extended period of time. Everyone involved should be stripped of everything dear to them and placed in a small dark hole for the rest of their miserable lives.

I assume it was only implemented under the provision that it doesn’t apply to MPs, Lords or any of their special pals.

I don’t see any of the notification problems, I assume you’ve tried logging out and logging back in again? Closing any kbin tabs and restarting your browser? Checked if disabling your adblocker for the site makes a difference?

That looks about as infuriating as the imperial system …

Give or take a few Texans …

Well that’s terrifying, 1 Argentina is 4 Texases

Do we just switch to Texans at that scale? So like 6 Texans?

Isnt “one Texas” one of the standard nonsense units used in the United states? Why aren’t they using that? Or can they only use it when it’s 1, 2, 5 or 12 texases and otherwise it’s Argentina’s?

In Australia the cashier typically bags your groceries. It was a shock for me when I first moved to the UK and the first cashier I was served by was like “Are you ready?!” And then started hurling a barrage of groceries to at me to bag.

I don’t think it’s that suitable alternatives that could make a lot of headway into limiting the problem dont exist, it’s more that a lot of people are making a lot of money from the status quo and have a vested interest in ensuring the status quo remains. You can bet your bottom dollar that if those people had found a way to continue the gravy train with the alternatives then they would. Eventually they are going to have to consider that if society collapses due to their actions that the currency they are accumulating will be worthless without the societies that dictate its value. I don’t think that will happen until we start seeing some of the climate change chickens come home to roost. It’s going to be unpleasant for a lot of people and might be too late.

My wife has a Garmin (vivoactive 4s I think) and on paper it looked fantastic, in action she has had nothing but trouble. Terrible battery, ugly UI, ridiculous management app, nothing but sync trouble. Hopefully Garmin has picked up their game with newer watches.

I’ve been rolling a Fitbit Charge 5 for the last year and a half and it’s been pretty great, had an issue at six months and Fitbit replaced it, no issues since. Good screen, reliable tracking, 1 charge lasts 5 days to a week, no issues with sync.

The average tells us quite a lot. It shows that overall, year on year temperatures across the entire planet are increasing, whether it’s winter or summer. Like you say the impacts of that are higher spikes in more places every year and those spikes are lost from the data, but the average is valuable aswell. Because of the scale, and the fact that it’s including winter for half the planet, 1 degree change in the average is pretty crazy.

Yeah that was my thought, turns out the land water ratio in the northern hemisphere is 2:3 while it’s 1:4 in the southern hemisphere

Interesting that despite it still being summer and roasty toasty in the southern hemisphere in January, the world average temp is still lower than the northern hemisphere summer.

If the number of electrocutions per capita are the same then it’s clear the fuse is doing nothing. The only reason to keep it is if you don’t trust your domestic network, specifically the protection systems provided. If they are to code then why waste your manufactures time, and the time and space of your users continuing to require them.

My argument isn’t born from patriotism, it’s frustratration at years of having to use an inferior product only to have someone claim it’s not only great but the best. Well, it’s not the best, far from it, but at the end of the day I don’t think I’ll ever live in the UK again so shrug have fun with your garbage connectors =)
