I just had to do some “find the angle” geometry this week to quantify some physical stuff that was going on in addition to what the software was causing.
And by “do,” I mean scribbling some triangles to figure out what I was calculating, then throwing the numbers into an online calculator!
To think of the sheer scale of lives and money destroyed by prohibiting a plant. A literal herbal remedy.
I think there’s a case to be made for all drugs being legal to possess, treating addiction as a healthcare issue, and hey how about giving everybody healthcare too. But with cannabis it is beyond ridiculous.
It really is incredible, the potential place in history he pissed away. But I guess you can’t end up a multi billionaire if you’re the type of person that knows when it’s OK to stop.
“While the dismantling of the United States would be a shame for sure, and nobody wants it, I cannot stand for this constant slippery slope towards 4 cylinder engines and EVs”
Yeah how are they not making a bigger point of the fact that the guy who cried about the stolen 2020 election and got pelt killed trying to stop the certification… is now on trial for illegally influencing the 2016 election and WINNING the presidency.
Yeah the study used 1g/kg. So if we use nice round numbers, a 100kg person would be doing 100g of honey or roughly 80g of sugar to start the day. That’s more than a 20oz (568ml) bottle of Coke!
That’s the dirty secret behind these business decisions. Making the product worse only ever seems to benefit the firm’s bottom line when a business is in a secure cartel.
This, as with enshittification in general, is a symptom of our fucked up culture that views money as a virtue. And with the business culture in particular, regardless of cartel or monopoly status, if the bottom line gets better the managers are doing a “good job” and almost nobody cares about inconveniences to customers or tarnishing of the brand.
My eyes are decent, but if I had a sixth sense that gave me full accurate 3D 360 spatial awareness regardless of visibility, I would probably not turn it off just to use my eyes. I’d use both.
Why would any social media company bid the real value of the property when the real value falls to zero in nine months?
I could see Google buying the brand even without the secret algorithm, and now the next app update will start showing YouTube Shorts. Or maybe they would just start showing “tiktoks” in the YouTube app, with no mention of yt shorts.
Meta seems like a possible choice too. Hell, maybe Elon Musk will waste billions of dollars ruining it and throwing away an extremely popular brand.
Eh, a lot of people are fucking terrible at showing love, even to the ones they actually do love.
Either that or they just have their priorities mixed up. I wonder how many of them had attentive parents, but they thought doing a good job as a parent meant raising sons to be aggressive tough guys.
