I don’t think my adblocker cares what kind of ads they’re trying to show me. If anything their algorithms will just get confused for why this guy who used to be here hours every day now only comes to watch war videos once a day but no longer comments or upvotes anything.

Hue lights also works from the light switch just like a normal bulb.

What are you saying?

People here mostly seem to vote on basis of who they think the commenter is - not what they’re saying.

Why even bother responding to me if, instead of addressing what exactly you take issue with in my statement, you just immediately resort to insults?

The only times I see people like me, who prefer owning a car “shouting down” people adcovating for better public transport, is when people suggest I should get rid of my car and ride a bus instead. A good public transportation system is a net-good for everyone, and in no way inconveniences me especially if I never even use it. It’s not busses and trains I have an issue with - it’s the naive city dwellers who thinks that because they get around just fine without a car then anyone would.

What in my message indicates to you that I didn’t read it?

It’s easy to say as someone with a healthy brain. A blind, deaf or a paralyzed person might feel different once there truly is a way to get your sight back with this technology.

I wonder what you guys thought animal testing is about, if this is somehow surprising to you. This is just another day at the office for the people running these experiments. The issue is not “Elon doing animal testing” but animal testing in itself.

However - if you think we shouldn’t do it then you should also be aware of the tradeoffs. Without this cruelty there’s no modern medicine either. Also, if you complain about this but eat meat then you’re a hypocrite.

I didn’t know such feature even existed

What is the difference exactly? It’s both animal testing. It’s going to be cruel by its very nature. They’re testing on animals because they’re not allowed to test on humans. If they could they would.

Everyone here acting like this is all black and white. Without animal testing there’s no modern medicine. That is a choise we could have made but didn’t. Thousands of animals had to suffer so that millions of people would not. From an utilitairian point of view it’s a no-brainer but it’s still cruel as fuck and there’s no getting around that. Animal testing or no - both leads to individuals suffering unecessarily.

I, for one aren’t willing to take the moral high ground here, because I eat meat ie. take part in the chicken/pig holocaust.

Considering that I get a few new bot followers every day, and has been for probably over a year now, but my total follower count isn’t increasing much, I’m quessing they’re indeed removing these accounts, but new ones just keep popping up. That would pretty much be on par with why he says he’s going to start charging for it.

I didn’t really have an opinion on the Israel/Palestine conflict or about Netanyahu as a person before he was a quest on Lex Fridman’s podcast. He seemed like an extremely disingenuous person, with obviously very politician answers to the questions presented to him. That made me, for the first time, to look into what this conflict is about and though it’s still quite nuanced, my view however isn’t especially favourable to Israel now.

Is he just supposed to pay for the running of twitter out of his pocket or what? It says there they’ve lost 50% of advertisers, and are making negative profit. That isn’t sustainable. The purchase of twitter has cost him 40-something billion, and still keeps costing him even more. It’s not about just wanting more profit, but to atleast break even.

What makes you think he’s short on cash? Wealthy people don’t store their wealth in cash anyways. The money is tied to the stocks of the companies they’re running. That’s why he needed to lend the money for twitter too; he doesn’t have that kind of cash, but people are willing to borrow it to him because of his wealth.

If you just had read the article you’d see that they have lost 50% of the advertisers and are losing money. This isn’t about wanting more money just for the sake of it. No company can exist if their finances are on the negative.

He’s the wealthiest man in the world. That doesn’t mean he has a lair full of cash and just wants more. People really struggle to understand the difference between wealth and money in the bank. This isn’t about hoarding money just for the sake of it.

Don’t quote me on this but I believe his thing is what the handle says; knees over toes. It used to be considered to be bad for your joints doing exercises such as deep squats for example, but his belief is that it’s the exact opposite. He used to have really bad knees himself, and couldn’t really play basketball like he wanted to, but by doing these exercises he was able to strenghten his knees to the point they no longer cause issues for him. The main exercise he’s recommending is pulling a sled backwards. He tells about Finnish lumberjacks who used to drag logs backwards like this and how they had super strong knees.

Tubeless tires solves that issue aswell. You can drive over nails and the sealant inside the tire automatically plugs the hole.

Ease of swapping parts is quite pointless as long as they keep bricking your device/disabling features when unoriginal part is detected even if it’s from another genuine iPhone.

Yeah I have no idea. The alternative would be electric radiators anyways so in most cases that wouldn’t make a difference anyways. Temperatures that low are quite rare - maybe just a handful of nights a year. Generally it stays around -10C
