Albert Einstein:

1. Invented the photon and discovered the photoelectric effect, which earned him a nobel prize.
2. Discovered Brownian motion and proved the existence of particles and molecules.
3. Created the theory of relativity, changing the way we think about space, time, energy, and matter.

Oh, and he released papers on all three of these groundbreaking discoveries in a single year. Dude was next level.

Yet a cop in the US can legally forcibly use your finger to unlock your phone to go through it, makes no sense.

My wife and I use TimeTree as a shared calendar app. Its available in Android and iOS, and I’m sure it has other features that i dont use (maybe a “lists” function), but it’s been solid for us.

You guys seem to forget that it had a very real purpose before… buying illegal shit on the internet. It didnt “start as a scam”.

Don’t push when you shit, hemmorrhoids suck

I feel the need to disagree with you a bit here. The belief in a god or higher power can drive people to do terrible things, regardless of any form of organization or power structure.

Though I would also argue that the concepts of “religion” and “organization” cannot be separated. To be considered a religion, one would expect an organized set of doctrines, values, etc., likely taught by a spiritual leader or practitioner. The heirarchy of student and teacher is intrinsic to religion. The enlightened, and the lost.

Further, faith/religion based views on the world are, in my view, inherently “unscientific”. If you already feel you have the answers to lifes big questions, what motivation is there to continue research? Or even worse, could they end up wasting resources on religious pursuits.

Anyway, just my 2c.

Just make enough money selling the diamonds to buy co2 credits, now the footprint is zero! /s

Do you also get flushed in the face? Seems like some kind of alcohol intolerance. Theres a gene thats common in east asians that can cause this. A vietnamese friend of mine has a similar reaction when he drinks.

Was gonna say, nobody took shit, lol

So great on laundry day

Totally agreed on the Frutiger style, with Sharper Image being the pure, distilled form of it.

When i think about the “purpose” of a library, I think of it as a place where people can go to learn and be entertained free of charge. If a particular book doesn’t teach anything valuable, nor is it entertaining, I can’t think of any reason why a library should waste its space on it. Thats not to say knowledge shouldnt be saved for future generations, but thats what an archive is for.

Oh, I do the same for other things and didnt mean to imply you should do anything differently, everyone has their “line”. I’m just saying maybe you dont have to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The Foo Fighters, particularly Dave Grohl, are some of the more humanitarian artists out there. Dave himself routinely puts on BBQs to feed the homeless. So considering your comment about actions having consequences, they’ve earned a little bit of wiggle room in my eyes.

But regardless, I respect ypur opinion and enjoy your weekend!

Oh, dont get me wrong, most anyone hoarding that much wealth is an asshole by default, but theres a lot worse out there than those guys. Hell, just this year Dave BBQed for 24hrs to feed the homeless, and has done many such events over the years.

Obviously it’s entirely your prerogative what artists to support, but I’m having a hard time understanding how the Fighters of the Foo accepting money from rich douches changes how you feel about them. Now, if they took an Amazon record deal and wrote a bunch of garbage jingles or something, then yeah, id bail on em too. But in this case, I don’t hink theyve done anything they havent done 1000x before; Played on a stage for a few hours, shook some hands, took some photos, and went home with some extra zeroes in their bank account.

I know they havent said what the punishments would be for non-compliance (Fines? Witholding of public services?), but without jail time attached to it, that just tells me the rich folks are gonna pay their way out (as usual), and those without the means are stuck getting totally-not-drafted.

What harm are they doing though? They’re being paid to do a private concert, not donating to their super PAC. It goes without saying that lavish spending on executives when people are being laid off is super gross, but at the end of the day I dont think the band did anything worth being chastised for.

I’ve been using Ground News for the last six months or so and quite like it. It does seem like you may have a misunderstanding of how it works though. Ground News is not, in itself, a “news outlet”, nor does it generate articles, its an aggregator. When viewing a story there is an AI generated summary of all of the articles related to that story, but its generally no more than 3-5 bullet points, and certainly not enough information to form an opinion (nor is it intended to be). The user should read several of the articles and form their own opinion based on that. Further, their bias and factuality gauges use data thats averaged from external organizations, so again, not generated by Ground News itself. They lay it out here:
