This looks like what we used to do with electric lighters to turn them into weak tasers and zap each other at school.

Disposable cameras had a little more umph though.

Apparently North Dakota is the new hotness for hiding cash and avoiding taxes.

Re:New Climate Maps Show a Transformed United States on Thursday September 17, 2020 @08:37PM (#24511701)
The date ranges they show are 2040-2060. Mortgages are typically 30years. If you buy a house this year you'll be right in the middle of this outcome when your mortgage is paid off and at an age where you'll be looking at retirement.

I'm imagining it being much harder to sell a house in an area with many web bulb days and resulting in a cratering real estate market in those areas most affected.

How long until climate change starts driving real estateprices and also where people decide to start a career or family?

The USG does pretty much everything it can to prop up home prices as well, possibly as a counter argument to the above question. Will that trend continue when it becomes overwhelmingly difficult to live/farm in those areas?

You have no scientific evidence to support your claims. Take your L and stop spreading misinformation.

You don't have a voice that's why you're asking here. So someone gave you a good suggestion and you shit on it. You should let it expire or give it to a group who actually wants to do something with it.

Not to take away from your comment but a $1 million car is very likely to be a great investment.

Cars turn into solid investments after a few hundred grand. People even make money selling their wait-list spots on some new cars.

If you aggressively fast on chemo you must must must take vitamins. Have seen personally what can happen when one does this without supplementing and have a result of low levels of thiamine which is lethal and has life long effects when it isn't.

Considering how the Woodward interviews turned out, I think I'd also like to hear this.
Their flickr album has a bunch of pictures. Highly recommended, really awesome images!

If a person moves to the US on an H1B Visa due to securing a job at a tech company, are those people subjected to this?

I guess put another way, does everyone who moves to the US have to do this, or is it only under some circumstances?

Maybe it's a difference in location, that quote was all stuff myself and my shitty friends did growing up, and most other people I went to school with. Also in a large midwest city.

It's interesting to read these bad hot takes on why while plugging your ears

> His public anti-china stance is just a show.

This is confirmed by John Bolton (I guess if you believe what he wrote in his book that the President attempted in court to block).

Trump “turned the conversation to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win. He stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome.”

Amazon has huge warehouses in lots of states which means they have political power to threaten pulling jobs from districts or states. Google is a much softer target.
It's going to make the next Bilderberg meeting a little awkward for a few people after they do this.
Re:David Graeber has died on Thursday September 03, 2020 @04:10PM (#24368320)
"Bullshit Jobs" had a profound change on my outlook in the tech industry. Perhaps it was because I was on the heels of leaving Amazon at the time I read it, but it changed my mindset on what I should be working towards in life.

Sad day

From someone who participates in this I would disagree. Bodybuilding at the highest level isn't really pushing any new boundaries. It's pretty well known 'how much' you can take (Dallas McCarver being a good example of that), and the compounds being taken aren't cutting edge or novel.

It's Novolog, Chinese HGH (because holy fuck is HGH expensive), several grams of Test and a rotating cycle of various compounds depending on which part of prep you're at, (ie wet compounds when you're putting on weight and dry compounds when you're cutting and in show prep to summarize roughly). There isn't really anything going on that isn't covered by the r/steroids wiki.

Perhaps Olympic level athletes are a better target, because bodybuilders aren't using any novel compounds, they buy what Chinese markets have available for purchase to synthesize.

Kinda, same with college tuition.

If you made university free for everyone the Reserves would take a hit on enlistment, same with active duty but to a lesser extent. I'm a vet and those things were huge in making my choice to join, lots of family and friends, fellow service members have echoed the same.

The military is largely downsizing though in warm body count so it might not matter much anymore.

Re:India bans PUBG, Baidu and more than 100 apps linked to China on Wednesday September 02, 2020 @12:28PM (#24354821)
So far in the news (that I consume) I only see countries being agressive towards Chinese software companies.

I can't imagine this goes on and continues escalating long before China reacts strongly.

What is China's response going to look like? I feel uneasy that their response is going to light the fire even more.

I don't think it's not possible, but I don't believe it can be as effective as in person.

Online you have the option to click block/mute/ignore and move on. So if you are trying to convince someone, a specific person to change their point of view, it will be much harder to reach them.

However thinking about this, I'm surprised there aren't any activist groups who patrol around online and focus on individuals to try and persuade them to change. Broad messages are much less effective than 1:1 conversations.

However that also borders on or crosses the line of harassment, depending on view point.
