I do think, however, that a company that’s not drowning in money wouldn’t be giving a bunch of generic research grants.
To clarify, you don’t think not-for-profits should fund grants for things that (by vote of the board) aligns with their mission?
I’m trying to figure out your beef with them.
Hi there. I just installed Kubuntu on a spare machine, but I ran into a problem with the snaps. How would one “de-snap” it? Can you point me in the right direction?
Yes, all kitten-stomping and the other stuff, but United Healthcare?
No way. I’m not a monster!
If he just ignores it, like every other law, what will that do? The Amendment doesn’t mention any enforcement. Oh, I guess we’ll just check with the Supreme Court about that one!
And using those guns make them a little dumber every time.
Plus, Gen-X and Boomers were exposed to a lot of lead.
Gasoline types used to be “Regular or Unleaded” and Regular, I think, and required a"special" engine.
Wait, those are man-boobs, aren’t they
The “starter packs” of Bsky is good, too. (Maybe that’s your ‘add lists’ though.)
Can you? I thought you could in theory, but it was all one server, theirs.
I thought for sure this was going to be an Onion-like article.
Yet, comments per day seems to be going up! And I helped!
It’s not. There are more appropriate communities to post this.
Ugh, why give them money and then tax it again? That makes no sense.
We do that on America’s Unemployment Income, and it seems ridiculous. Why give it, if you’re just taking away some later?
Thank you for this argument. I had found that mentally I was getting trapped in this line of thinking about UBI.
My way around in my mental way if thinking it was Universal Basic Medicine, Universal Basic Food, Universal Basic Housing, and so on. That way, if some jackass landlord decided to raise rent too high, you’re not homeless. Also, in my ideal world, the health insurance industry should be “taken out”.
In other news, I just tried Kubuntu in an older laptop a few weeks ago, and I’m pleasantly surprised. Superior to Windows in almost every way.
I don’t think it’s “ready for Grandma” yet, but pretty darn close.
Absolutely true story.
I was a latchkey Gen-X. Once, as a young teenager, I was sure I witnessed a UFO landing in my back yard. It was night in the fall, and I was alone.I was alerted to a sound like a giant vacuum cleaner. I looked outside and saw smoke and a big machine with lights, either in my back yard or neighboring field. It crept closer, and spun around. My heart was racing.
Then I realized it was a combine tractor in the neighboring field, harvesting cross at night. The smoke was dust from the harvest. That’s when I realized: Anything can be a UFO if you are bad at identifying things, and don’t realize it’s not flying.
This is pretty good advice, and something I often need to remind myself of. The word “just” weakens what you’re saying and is usually superfluous. Delete it.
Some, but… Certain super-addictive drugs should be limited.
Like that paint that they use on highways that needs to be reapplied every so often because it disappears
Well, it doesn’t just disappear. Microplastics. Highways are doubly bad for plastic waste.
