Really I feel this is mostly about the UK avoiding all the issues its has with what it did to the Chagossians, and the expenses of dealing with islands that will be massively impacted by climate change.

To analogize, the UK stole someone else’s car and has had it for a while. But now the original car owner is trying to get it back, the engine is failing, and the practical choice is to offload it to someone else for a quick buck before shit hits the fan

I cant remember how to link a community, but there is a community called “nowhere else to post”. Cant remember the instance its on

Good luck getting an AI thats trained to blow smoke up everyones ass to actually critically assess anything, instead of just saying everything is amazing

Mayo is always filled all the way, like jelly or peanut butter. Its not a bag of chips

Such a shame how they cancelled on Vanilla Ice after he went on CNN live while fully coked up out of his gourd to defend the concert

Tbf they did choose. They dont have to work there and are free to leave. A lot of people pay 1/3rd of their income in rent, so 1/6th is honestly a pretty good deal IMO

Converting an ICE car to an electric is insanely expensive. Far more expensive than buying a new electric car, even without factoring in the cost of buying the old car

Bezos has done a lot of horrible things, but making a $20k electric truck is not one of them.

I avoid shopping on Amazon unless absolutely necessary, maybe 2-3 times in the last ten years. I think his financial existence is an abomination. But if his truck company is the only manufacturer offering a $20k base vehicle then people have good reason to hand him money. Hopefully undercutting every other manufacturer by $10k+ will result in there being more cheap cars, and alternatives within that price range

Strawberry toothpaste at home: Gingivitis^TM

There is so much stupid misinformation and misunderstanding around fluoride.

Can fluoride be dangerous to have in your water supply? Absolutely. In the 80s, “the decade of water”, UNICEF helped build wells all over the world in places without access to clean drinking water. In some places they did not dig the wells deep enough, and in some places there is a high amount of natural fluoride in the ground’s surface layers. As a result, people drinking from those wells got legitimate fluoridosis. Children grew majorly deformed bones, and it straight up killed some the elderly. Its a legitimately dangerous thing for the body in high concentrations.

That said, the level of fluoride in tap water is infinitely lower than even being anywhere near that kind of danger. The old standard level that was used up until the early 2000s was only lowered because people got fluoride spots in their teeth. I have some from when I was a kid. The medical difference between having fluoride spots versus actual fluoridosis is like the difference between having a sore throat and dying of asphyxiation. Fluoride is absolutely beneficial. I may have a couple fluoride spots, but Ive also never had a cavity filled. The only cavity I have had was in a wisdom tooth, which did not have as much fluoride exposure when I grew it later in life

Jesse, we really have to stop cooking

I have no real ill will towards any bug that is outside other than horse flies. Horse flies can go to hell. Fucking bastards bite just for fun

Most of the large security camera companies these days, like Verkada, utilize IP cameras for a variety of reasons.

Having the whole system be onsite and closed circuit requires a lot more hardware and wiring. IP cameras used to be an almost unusable option, but nowadays with how much data is required by high quality video it’s a far more reasonable option. Not to mention latency has improved significantly, which used to be a big problem with IP cameras.

Verkada style IP camera systems are far easier to install as well, compared to hardwiring a CCTV throughout a huge facility.

It can certainly be “online” and still be highly secure. Most clients would prefer that option over a traditional system

If it was the same shade as the guy next to him it would actually be a pretty solid fit

The first seated events would probably have been people speaking to larger groups in amphitheaters that naturally formed by rock formations. You can often find natural amphitheaters as features of parks with cliffs, and people were probably inherently drawn to those kinds of spaces

Work for like one half hour, two half hour

Then for lunch, maybe something cool like a cigarette
