That’s quite a leap of reasoning.
There is no amount of effort or money that can correct some of the harms done.
I wish we would use a better measure than money to describe the societal impact of health problems.
Especially the ones we inflict upon ourselves and each other.

Gross.

FWIW, I don’t find that video convincing of anything, because it’s too difficult to see what the cable is doing, especially with respect to twist (or lack thereof) as it gets coiled.
If you find “over/under” confusing, that’s probably because it’s misleading terminology.
You might find it more intuitive to think of this as “outside/inside”, meaning that each new loop is made by bringing the cable’s free end up to your stationary hand either outside (away from the already coiled cable) or inside (between the already coiled cable and itself) as it forms the new loop.
I would say that excludes them from my future purchases, but honestly, I’m hoping never to buy a car again. Public transit and bicycling are far cheaper, less polluting, and more sustainable (especially in population centers). Maybe I’ll spend a little of the money I save on an occasional day rental if needed.
Relevant scene:
Surely he means figurative giants, as in “standing on the shoulders of giants”, right?
Right?
If they took controlled measurements of the power (and cooling water) usage before and after deleting some amount of email, I would love to see the names of the people conducting the experiment, the procedures used, and the resulting numbers.
Until then, I’m inclined to think this suggestion is tommyrot dreamt up by people who have no idea how things work.
I’m a little surprised not to see “changeme” on this list.
This is perfectly in character for Trump. Nothing about it would make someone think it comes from The Onion. Rule 4.
People want democracy.
Authoritarian state known for overreach tries to kidnap critics living in other countries.
I hope these people manage to stay safe.
Russia’s Ministry of Justice’s list of extremist materials spans more than 500 pages and contains over 5,000 entries. These include songs that praise Ukraine and blog posts by the feminist rock band Pussy Riot.
Knowing this makes life easier for practically nobody, so it doesn’t really fit this community.
It is cool, though. I think it would make a good Today I Learned.
I’m with atzanteol. This obvious and predictable irony doesn’t make me think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.” (See Rule 4.)
Friendly reminder that the US needs to replace its fundamentally broken first-past-the-post voting system.
The word master does not originate from slavery. If you study the etymology, you’ll also find that it significantly predates slave, and has more than a few meanings that are not even remotely related to slavery.
