Anyone who knows Nintendo’s history, knows that they go super hard on litigating. Don’t let the happy little mascots fool you, they’re as aggressive as Disney when they think they can get away with it.
Google, on the other hand, still has some software people in their management structure.
It’s a two pronged attack.
It has always been a two pronged attack.
The rich assholes who want to fuck everyone over can’t just come out and say it, they need a Face to rile up the crowds, but that Face is a problem. The Face can turn on the rich fucks. Well, to an extent. They’re a useful charismatic fool, and possibly a danger to the rich, but mostly a danger to everyone else.
Anyway, the solution is to stand next to the fool king, and pass him “advice”. Like a list of judges to appoint. “Don’t think about it, we vetted these guys, and they love you”.
Then there’s the congressmen. “Don’t have time to write a bill? Well, we saved you the trouble. It even does some of the shit you’ve been ranting about, but mostly it makes us richer”.
And that’s how it goes. People like Leonard Leo, Peter Thiel, Joel Kaplan. They’re the brains.
They also funnel a shit-load of money into pushing their twisted ideologies.
I was military before my first civilian job.
We had that lesson beat into our heads repeatedly, and yet there were still people who never quite picked up on it.
We had the consent to monitoring pop-up every single time we logged onto a government computer, and then had that consent to monitoring explicitly spelled out every three months as we had to complete a computer based training program.
For some people, it still didn’t take.
All that said, this particular thought crime detection effort is creepy as fuck.
That’s the most common, but there are weird pasta types out there made with beans or cauliflower or such…
The majority of those are vegan by design, but I’ve seen a few that were just gluten-free, and still used egg as a binder.
Usually sold as egg noodles, yes.
Most Italian died pasta is going to be made with just flour and water, but again, there are exceptions.
There are vegan sauces that are quite nice, sure, they’re just not Worcestershire sauce.
Hell, I’ll go further and say that if it’s not made by Lea and Perrins, it’s not Worcestershire sauce.
Dry pasta is. Any other noodle will not be. Eggs are used in a lot of places.
All Worcestershire sauce. It’s fermented anchovy sauce with some spices.
Anything that doesn’t have the anchovy, isn’t Worcestershire sauce.
They literally go through the class schedule in each book. General studies are not in it.
There was Arithmancy, the Harry Potter wiki says that it was using numbers to predict the future. It was an elective and Harry didn’t take it.
The only other class that would have had math would be Astronomy, which was a required class for all students. The students are required to make star charts and such… Seems like rote memorization was the only thing taught. The wink says that the end of year 5 tests was filling in a blank star chart from memory.
They might get some English pointers in the dozens of essays they wrote, but since essays are graded on the length of the scroll… it becomes questionable.
Republican AGs have already said they’ll use KOSA to block anything trans related, so maybe don’t bring that up when talking to Republican senators.
To be fair, they’ve also earned that hatred. Several times over.
Brother printers are great. If only because they don’t add all the pointless bullshit add-on “features” that everyone else does.
Brother printers, they’re just printers. Nothing more, nothing less.
They also take third party ink.
That’s the coin flip.
The problem is, you can’t trust ChatGPT to not lie to you.
And since generative AI is now being used all over the place, you just can’t trust anything unless you know damn well that a human entered the info, and then that’s a coin flip.
Sadly, VW has never strayed far from their roots.
They’ve always been just a little scummy on the business practices side of things. More than a little scummy during WW2…
They do sometimes have good engineering. Which means fuck all in the face of management who want to cut corners and cheat to make more money.
Yup, kbin for the win.
Just wish it had a mobile app…
Part of the effort to keep third parties off the ballot is that you make shit infinitely worse.
It’s called the spoiler effect, and it fucks us over all the god-damn time.
Do not vote third party under our current electoral system.
You need to either work within the current system like the Progressives do, or work to change the system to one that doesn’t fuck people over if they vote third party.
If you want to get involved with actually doing that second thing, here’s a great place to start.
The only place I see liquid fuel being used is in commercial transportation, particularly in shipping and rail. Anhydrous ammonia would be perfect for shipping, and a nightmare anywhere else. That shit will fucking kill you in an instant, and those who survive just wish they were dead.
So it should only be used in highly regulated professional settings.
That said, it’s still a wonderful fuel option for those settings.
This electrolyte swaps shit? I see it as an attempt to reuse all that gas station infrastructure all over the place.
EV chargers are all over as well these days, but they’re still not anything near as ubiquitous and gas stations.
I combine UBO with No Script and Privacy Badger. I’ve not seen any slow downs or ads or anything else.
