I also remember Coke, Pepsi, and Nestle being claimed as the highest plastic polluters as well.

If I take 13 ducks, 4 chickens, 8 fainting goats and a mongoose, and march them in a phalanx designed for geese you wind up 13 knots shy of where you were headed. The ducks vary in color, I’m not quite sure we even have mallards, 2 of the hens keep laying eggs and trying to roost, and the mongoose keeps setting off the bloody goats so they lay ass to the ground toes to the sky until they look like a botched taxidermy. So end over end we are all quacks laying and lying in the mud with a mongoose. Ain’t getting far

The chart showing how much money the CEO has made off selling the stock… wouldn’t he run out of shares? It appears executives have sold over a billion dollars in 2024.

Makes you wonder if they heard these investigations were ongoing and figured they’d sell shares before lawsuits came and any potential dips in the company worth.

If so… insider trading charges would be nice

Can confirm, the last time the power went out I heard someone shout that from a long way off. They must have a superpower to project their voice round the world

Yeah i didn’t catch that, thanks

You can also increase speed by not using any propellers or moving parts. At supersonic speeds you capture the air, compress it into a chamber than hit it with a spark and blow the fucker up. That’s how a ramjet engine works. China just made one that uses pulse like combustions in a engine that’s only about a foot wide, and maybe 13 feet long. Speeds up to mach 4… or 5000km/h (3100mph) at about 65,000 feet.

I wish I owned a garage. Or a house. Or a fucking shed. Need to start smaller. Maybe food first. We’ll work our way into it

Another fun one is that in the phrase “three sheets to the wind” Sheets do not refer to the sails as many believe, they actually refer to the ropes that tie down the sales. So you lose a sheet, the sail becomes less predictable. If you lost 3 sails I think you’d just be dead in the water most times, not stumbling about

They are individuals sitting in their house. So if they get rowdy their parents deal with their kids. Kids in these grades legally can’t be left home alone in most states either. So it’s just stay at home parents who don’t want their kids to go to public school or have to drive them to a private school, or doing any work to homeschool them.

It’s just online school. If you don’t answer the questions you can’t go to the next sections. If you don’t progress you wouldn’t pass. If you don’t pass school you get held back… Parents who work wouldn’t sign their kids up for online school as they would get arrested for leaving their kids home alone. Some kids do well in it, a lot don’t. The kids that do well in it will get ahead quickly. Likely could finish a year early for those 4 years. Is that good? Debatable… but these things existed before this “slap the name AI on it” craze started. I knew some kids that were doing it in 2018 because hurricane Michael destroyed their school. And then many switched to it when covid started. Nothing really sounds any different here other than the AI being labeled on it.

I don’t think the AI is actually teaching anything. Sounds like the courses exist and are written by people. Then a program just presents the content to them, and it has a set of questions. The only thing that sounds to be maybe AI about it is that if they get a question wrong the computer will give them an easier one next. Meaning someone categorized the questions into hardness levels and likely groups that were similar to ensure it could swap them with an easier/harder question pertaining to the same concept. Really it could just be done with an if statement. Maybe they think saying it is being taught by AI is to make people feel like someone is paying attention to their kid… When really they are just left by themself. We could have done this 20 years ago… but maybe we thought better of it back then.

How this should be negotiated in any company. No employee can be held liable for any security breaches that ever take place, and we cannot be insured as NO ONE can/should ever know another user’s credentials. If you are keeping track of keystrokes, you are recording every username and password…

I gave up guessing and looked it up. How I met your mother.
Guessing they say the 2am quote in that show. I don’t recall

Okay, that matches more what I was told when I had one of those sonic care toothbrushes 20 years ago.

Shit, this makes so much sense. I knew I hadn’t stopped brushing my teeth as often but I definitely went through a spell of having heartburn and daily for months. My teeth I felt like were getting worse out of nowhere.

Thanks for mentioning this, really need to figure out what foods were giving me that reaction… now I only get heartburn about once a month, so something I changed helped. Likely need to cut out a lot of things

45 seconds? That seems a lot shorter than what I grew up being told. Then again I’m not using an electric toothbrush and I should be. I’ve let my teeth go to shit

Haha, I spelled it wrong twice, talented

I placed this info elsewhere. Refinery building in Tennessee, query in Canada. At least that’s one company shooting to use the silicon for EV batteries. Makes sense because GM built their battery plant here in Tennessee as well. So they could likely ship within the state once refined. (Trump’s tarrifs on Canada obviously being an issue)

We are building the refinery in Tennessee, and the Quary is in Canada. 1 company is Sonova Global.

So naturally the Tariffs against Canada will be us making our local refinery pay more to import materials from their own company’s query across the border

Russia doesn’t own the land they put troops on? What are you talking about.
