You kind of have to accept it, the teachers write the tests.
I’m in the ER. Probably the doctor standing directly in front of me.
DuckDuckGo works fine for me, it checks most of your boxes. Not sure about the ad blocker, but I run a pi-hole on my home network so I don’t see most of them anyway.
I’m old enough now that I’m more financially secure than I ever have been before, and I still think we should tear it all down and create a more equitable system for everyone. Perhaps I’m in the minority though for people my age.
Politicians sew division, fear, and hatred knowing that this will allow them to continue fleecing everyone who works for a living. We should never forget that it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
Eating the rich isn’t a coup de grace, it’s the beginning.
Get started without us, we’ll catch up. It will take a lot of outside pressure to get the wheels turning faster, but it will happen.
I think it’s got about 3-4 billion years left in the tank, if I remember reading correctly. It won’t be humanity’s problem.
There’s a transactional cost to processing the sale, hosting the giant download and then issuing the refund. If people organized and manipulated the system and this became a financial burden, then the policy would almost certainly change.
About it being completely arbitrary and anti-consumer? It 100% is.
I’ve got a gallon of chlorine bleach that can purify a few hundred gallons of water from the lake at the end of my street, a crossbow that can keep us fed for a while, and a smoker that can preserve meat. I do know how to properly can veggies to keep them preserved, but I’d run out of lids after a season. I suppose I’d save seeds from this years garden and grow a lot of winter squash next season, but cross pollination might mess that up.
Depending on whether or not I ran into a marauding gang of savages, I could probably make it longer than most.
imagining a nurse using the word “asshole” to explain it to a regular person is just hilarious to me.
