Idiots tend to have idiot kids because they raised them in idiot households

Random people are usually way smarter than people give them credit. Idiots are an exception, though I have no idea how hey are distributed.

and idiots tend to have more kids

That’s completely unfundamented idea that was created to support some racist movements. One would think that movie made a clear enough point to convince anybody this is bullshit…

It’s a completely absurdist theme. The people insisting it reflects reality in any way are the ones that bother me.

Still, it’s a simple movie with simple jokes. The kind of thing maybe worth watching once, and not worth thinking about.

You save the server bandwidth bills and have all the people currently downloading help you get it instead of competing with you. Also, most torrent clients are way more competent and featurefull for handling downloads than most browsers.

Usually, it doesn’t make a lot of difference.

The cat doesn’t care anything near enough to try to gaslight you.

Temperature, speed, flow rate, cooling.

In other words, close to anything. Follow a calibration guide. Also keep in mind that some filaments just don’t make good overhangs.

Hum… The bottom one will say anything except “touk”?

Good transportation does, though.

No wage is high enough if everybody competes for the same few homes.

And you can only increase the number of homes with good transportation.

It’s supposed to be stocks trading, not an AWS bill.

A 40 years old fridge can easily average 200W more than a new one. Depends on the details of how well it’s conserved and how good it was to begin with. That would be some $15 a month more.

You always have to evaluate those things.

Oh, heavyweight Wasm is one of those things better written in Rust.

Intrinsically, one would expect there to be better options. But Wasm is difficult enough that people have been unable to port most tools. That will probably change at some point, but I would not stop anything to wait for that.

What I would save in electric cost does not make buying a new one worth it.

I’d look very carefully at those numbers.

That’s ignoring all the problems created by those fridges failing at random.

Still, the GP’s ratio is wild. There’s no way a fridge that lasts a lifetime costs 30x more to make. It’s all monopoly practices.

All the other options are worse.

But, hummm… Some people do use Rust for software where other languages are a better fit. But usually not in public. You see a lot of libraries helping people to use Rust in GUIs or web applications, but all the Rust rewrites people talk about are for stuff better done in Rust.

Dude… Have you seen last year?!?

To put some more context there, those US wars are always started by some Republican government when the oil price is falling. They almost always succeed in stopping the fall or making them rebound.

But correlation isn’t causation. I don’t think the US has fought any resources war since the 2 world wars. And they weren’t in those for the resources either, even though both had an important resource sub-plot going on.

Refineries that handle heavy crude can easily adapt to light crude, it’s the other way around that doesn’t happen.

The only reason they don’t is because light oil is more expensive. There’s no lack of oil for them.

Now we have an attack against an oil-producing country at a time the oil prices are the lowest they have been in many years. If this is about oil at all, it’s to increase the price; but it’s probably 100% about the Epstein files.

Well, there isn’t any lack of oil to buy around right now, so I think the US is lying about their motives.

But hey, officially stating they invaded Venezuela because of oil is crazy. Whether it’s true or not.

The year started in a hush…
