I love this video so much. The interviewer asks Shapiro to defend his stances and Shapiro responds by calling the interviewer a liberal.

“A Georgia law you support would have women who had a miscarriage face trail for potentialy 30 years in jail. Isn’t that a bit harsh?”

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t know you were A LIBERAL!”

I remember an interview with a former NASA engineer that said NASA would never be able to do anything near what SpaceX (or any other private company) can do. The reason given is that SpaceX spent billions after billions on what were essentially very expensive fireworks until they finally achieved a breakthrough. A breakthrough that wasn’t a guarantee. Even Musk himself had said he would have eventually closed SpaceX if they hadn’t achieved something and it would have been a multi billion dollar failure. He, and everyone else really, got very lucky.

Imagine NASA asking taxpayers for another billion dollars after blowing up the last billion with no guarantee this next billion would produce anything but another explosion. How many times would the public foot that bill? Not even once. Not while people don’t have healthcare and homelessness and hunger exist. The government can’t justify it and that’s just how it is. The only way we get space travel, with our current system, is to hope someone with a lot of money is willing to bet it on a breakthrough. It sucks but the problem isn’t Musk, it’s the system that makes us reliant on billionaires for nice things.

It becomes false advertising when you prove them wrong in court. Few people want to do that so most ads are bullshit. Even if they do get proven wrong, the settlement money is typically peanuts to the impact their ads have on sales. Red Bull paid $13 million for their tagline of “red bull gives you wings” while making several billion a year.

I was a funeral director and got this question a lot.

1. That’s not how vikings had funerals. The only Norse who had that type of send off is Baldr, son of Odin, in Norse mythology. Real Norse were cremated or buried. Important people had huge burial mounds since they’d be buried with a lot of their possessions. In reality, if you burned a boat with a body on it, the result would be a charred decaying corpse floating back to land in a day or two. A ship doesn’t have enough wood to completly burn a body and bacteria in decaying dead bodies produce gas which causes dead bodies to float.

2. It is possible to “bury at sea” depending on the area. The Canadian government charges a significant amount for a permit to do so and it comes with a lot of conditions like a weighted and sealed casket and being dropped far enough from the shoreline. I’ve heard they make the process as difficult and costly as possible as a way to discourage the practice. However, there are no restrictions on scattering cremated remains at sea!

“How can you kill that which has no life?”

YouTube, for now, doesn’t show any ads. Twitch bombards you with them. I can’t stand it so I don’t watch stuff on Twitch.

I feel bad for Indian people. India is one of the most populated countries in the world with an amazing history and culture and all you ever hear is that their men cannot stop themselves from sexually harassing and raping women and their government not only doesn’t do anything to stop that but actively encourages it.

To save you and others a click. It’s describing anyone who acts like the sealion in this comic

Because AI needs a lot of training data to reliably generate something appropriate. It’s easier to get millions of reddit posts than millions of research papers.

Even then, LLMs simply generate text but have no idea what the text means. It just knows those words have a high probability of matching the expected response. It doesn’t check that what was generated is factual.

Please type up a compelling reason just for me

Here’s another video just on that!

It is the largest positive impact a single person can have on the environment. Kurzgesagt video with the analysis.

As a vegetarian for decades, it’s also cheaper, often healthier, and isn’t difficult at all once you find some new recipes you like. You also don’t need to switch all at once. Ease into it by cooking one vegetarian meal a week and then increase it as you find ones you like.

I was a funeral director in Ontario, Canada. The law here is that the contract you sign with the crematorium will have a cremation number which will be stamped into a metal disk and that disk will be placed with the remains. After cremation, the disk will be in the cremated remains. People who receive the cremated remains can check that the number on the disk matches the number on the contract they signed.

This system stops honest mistakes but nothing stops people from intentionally swapping disks. Say a funeral home worker is filling urns with a batch of cremated remains they recieved from the crematorium. They accidentally put remains A into the urn for family B and remains B into the urn for family A. The worker should swap the remains…but swaping the disks is easier. Most people I’ve worked with would do the right thing but the system still relies on people being honest.

I pull my credit report yearly. The ISP was never on it. Even if it was, after 7 years accounts are removed from your report.

I had an ISP do the same when I moved out of an apartment in 2016. I still get calls from a collection agency. The number is blocked but if I check my “blocked calls” log it’s been nearly every weekday for 8 years.

Hello,promitheas

Welcome to Linux Community.

It sounds like you are experiencing some quality issues using Microsoft forums, could you please provide some details to let us assist you better:

1->General System Information: Could you provide some details about your PC’s hardware specifications? Specifically, the processor, amount of RAM, and the graphics card you are using.

2->System File Check: When you say you automatically checked system files, did you use the built-in System File Checker (SFC) tool? Did it report any issues, or did it indicate that everything was fine?

3->Event Viewer: In the Event Manager, can you provide more specific details about the critical errors you see? For example, the exact error messages and any associated error codes.

Have you researched the specific error messages you found in the Event Manager (e.g., Application Error, Application Hang, Windows Error Reporting, DbxSvc, DistributedCOM, nvlddmkm)? Understanding these errors can often provide clues about the root cause of the problem. In the meantime, are you getting a blue screen on your device, and if it’s convenient, try to see if a small dump file has been generated in the corresponding path, which you can upload and share with me-<Read small memory dump files - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn>

4->Cooling and Hardware Issues: Have you noticed any unusual temperature increases while running games or any other hardware-related issues like unusual fan noises or system freezes?

5->Rollback to Previous Windows Version: If the issue started immediately after switching to Windows 11, have you considered rolling back to your previous Windows version temporarily to see if the crashes persist?

The five points of detail above are intended to give me a better understanding of the situation so that I can give potential advice and solutions.

Best regards,

I also thought the entire reason for treating minors differently is because they’re more likely to commit petty crimes and that shouldn’t hurt their future.

A teenager who did a breaking and entering made a bad decision and should be given another chance. Their bad decision shouldn’t haunt them for the rest of their life because that just ensures their only option is to continue committing crimes. A mass murder should not be given another chance. That’s not a stupid decision a kid makes.

Mid 20s is way too young to be experiencing chronic pain caused by normal aging. That being said, it can be caused by being out of shape. If you’re not eating right, keeping active, and keeping a regular sleep schedule then the pain might be because of your lifestyle. If you dont think you’re out of shape, then you definitely need to talk to different healthcare providers and stress how your chronic pain is interfering with your life.

Everything is 0s and 1s to a computer. What a pattern of 0s and 1s encodes is decided by people–often arbitrarily. Over the years there have been attempts to standardize encodings but, for legacy reasons, older encodings are still valid.

The 0s and 1s that encode ’ in UTF-8 (a standardized encoding) are the same 0s and 1s that encode ’ in CP-1252 (a legacy encoding).

The � symbol is shown when the 0s and 1s don’t encode anything of meaning.

So, from what I can tell anyways, it does seem like the original answer is what you’re looking for. Each instance has a list of its own communities that you can see. You can also see a list of other instances that are federated to an instance by browsing to /instances (ex. https://lemmy.ca/instances shows all the instances lemmy.ca is federated with as well as which ones are blocked). As far as I know, there is no way to see a list of all communities from all federated instances. There are some external sites that seem to have these sorts of lists like https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Lemmy isn’t focused on everyone seeing everything but on keeping corporate interests and power tripping admins out. The idea is to encourage as many people as possible to run their own instance of Lemmy both to share the infrastructure costs and limit the power each instance holds. Keeping hosting costs down is why instances don’t pull from communities nobody is subscribed to.
