Propaganda does not mean lies.

Answer : Russian propaganda about Harris supporting a genocide, while blatantly dodging the question of trumps desire for Israel to “finish the job”.

People are gonna get exactly what they voted for (or really, failed to vote against) in the next 4 years.

Ah, that explains why Myspace is still huge.

So the only reason to go there is because people are going there, but if people stop going there, then there is no reason to go there, so really there isn’t any reason to go at all.

Unless you’re a sheep.

I wouldn’t know. There are toilets in the US that use a high pressure flush, but they still have a siphon. It’s there so that the toilet can flush without water pressure from the mains (you can flush a toilet by dumping a bucket of water in it) and it also forms a seal that prevents sewer gas from flowing back up through the toilet. So even if the toilet uses an alternate flushing method, it probably still has a siphon.

It was enough water to fill that room in a few minutes, I’d say a few toilets and shower drains would be a negligible effect. Although once the water got a few feet over the bowl, or other drain, I’d stay the fuck away from them because of potential delta-P situations.

Training scene where they shove a shower hose down a toilet and use it to breathe…

There would be no air (or even sewer gas) to breath in that case. Toilets work by raising the water level in the bowl above the water level in the S-bend/siphon. Since the room was full of water, those toilets would have been flushing constantly, and the whole pipe would be full of water.

Better(ish) solution. Use the body bags that they each had to fill out and place in their trunk/locker to capture an air bubble. That would at least give you some time to attack the door, or figure out how to drain the room.

Yeah, and Alexa/Siri/Google assistant don’t eavesdrop unless you use the magic words to activate them.

I’m having flashbacks to Windows 8 being heavily developed to be “touch optimized” at a time where 3% of computers had touchscreen capabilities.

Exactly. So if people stop going there, then there is no reason to go there. Full circle, people go there because they go there. Let’s just stop fucking doing that.

Why don’t we just let Twitter/X die? It’s not like it’s an essential platform, there are other places to post short-form bullshit opinions. Twitter/X is not the sole supplier of any resources except their own brand name. Just walk away and let it burn. Without massive public engagement, it’s just a more expensive to run Truth Social.

We should also switch away from liquid based detergents. My partner gets liquid dishwasher detergent, and it bugs me a bit because we’re paying extra money, and buying extra plastic, just to ship a dilute version of the powder that I’d rather buy.

Is the goal to reduce plastic, or is the goal to live as long and sustainably as possible on the only known rock that can support human life?

But I see it as two sides of the same coin. Plastic or glass, we’re not getting at the core problem, which is long distance, packaging intensive transportation of goods. Plastic is bad because it becomes trash, and eventually a pollutant. Glass may have less pollution in the product, but more pollution in the distribution.

I think it’s worth pointing out here that there are some major downsides to glass.

Weight. Glass is heavy, more weight means more energy (and emissions) required to transport it, and a lower product mass to packaging mass ratio.

Durability. Glass bottles have to be much thicker than plastic bottles to achieve the same strength, which means thicker glass and/or additional packaging is required to get the product to the consumer.

It would be interesting to see the total life cycle emissions for packaging types, and to figure out how many re-uses (if any) are required for a glass bottle to offset its pollution footprint compared to a disposable vs recycled plastic bottle.

I can’t really advocate for plastic/aluminum/glass packaging, since I’m not aware of a study the considers the total footprint for each.

Ideally, we’d purchase our own containers, and then fill our own containers from a local bulk supply. Minimizing the weight and distance traveled while maximizing re-use is key.

The difference between atheist and theist is the belief in N fewer gods, where N is the number of gods the theist believes in.

I thought those last two were Doom cheat codes for a hot minute.

That said, this data should be limited in scope and use…

Yep, anonymized, limited, non-distributable, and secured, with severe penalties (on the order of tens of thousands of dollars per person, paid to the harmed party) for failure to adhere.

It’s there, but people forget about it when they can get a 4" bigger TV for 100 bucks less.

I’d like to see a law that says you get a complete and correct bill in 3 months or less as well. I avoid getting healthcare because even though I have insurance, every single time I’ve gone, the billing gets fucked up and I don’t find out about it until 6 months, or even up to 2 years later, and I’m on the hook for that. It ought to be law, that if your office is so fucked up that you can’t produce a correct bill for services in 3 months and deliver it to your customer, then you should have to nullify it.
