Always wanted a “personal” website but felt I wasn’t creative enough to create anything useful enough… Maybe a wiki was the best I could come up with

Care to share what you use the website for exactly?

Not really - milk lasts a few weeks at least

Yeah but they were probably just wandering

Hey I also just read that post!

I’m as progressive as the next guy and generally love the nanny state (who hates their nanny!?!) but this seems like something I’d like to have the choice to control - plus every appliance will just change to say ‘dont place in areas that are light sensitive’ or will just remove all functionality (a la “oh crap my phone hasn’t been charging cuz the plug died and I had no idea”)

Why not both - 5s for leaving the white lines , grid drop for making another driver retire

Absolutely - the whole thing makes this celebrity look like they were brought in as window dressing.

Doubling down and blaming the “F1 representative” (as if the FIA shows up on race day wearing Alfa Romeo shirts) came off as insincere and just made me think they believed themselves to be too important for us watching on tv

Was curious about that dynamic - does the team hire a celebrity so they can get the team on socials or does the celebrity’s PR team look for opportunities?

If the teams are reaching out then I guess you can’t blame the celebrity for not wanting to look like an idiot (although my point still stands - don’t show up). OTOH if the celebrity is reaching out then they should really do more consideration about what they are getting themselves into

Why did my mind automatically imagine the guy trying to find how to make farts edible

Think back to the moment you learned that copying was considered theft

Well copying is very broad… Plagiarism’s treatment as being both technically and morally wrong imo always makes sense. Plagiarism goes beyond copyright infringement though, since infringement only requires “use” of the material whereas plagiarism is passing it off as your own.

Easy solution - unless you want to actually be there, don’t show up to events you have no business being at lol

I think what you say is fair if not true - one difference (and I’m sure there are more) is these weren’t lands acquired by conquest/military subjugation, but rather by agreement with the landholding populations to live in peace. What actually happened was the indigenous populations were lied to in one way or another such that the European nations never held up their side of the bargains because of ambiguity in the agreements in addition to Europeans plainly lying about what was being agreed to.

I think this is evident in the ways the Canadian Reconciliation Calls to Action use language such as “call upon the Government of Canada…to jointly develop with Aboriginal peoples a Royal Proclamation of Reconciliation…[which] would build on the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and the Treaty of Niagara of 1764, and reaffirm the nation-to-nation relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Crown”

Essentially these lands were never legally taken which is why the indigenous groups can/should lay claim to them. That makes this scenario different than a group being displaced by military conquest (which is technically recognized as a legal, albeit cruel, mechanism for displacing people).

This is the one I thought of

observations from like a century ago

So it’s likely (imo) that differences in race, gender and location were unlikely to be top of mind, let alone factored into the average

Salt actually does more than add flavor - it also makes the water boil at hotter temperatures

LOL what an experiment. Iirc Gordon Ramsey said it like that on some segment about boiling pasta but I doubt he went to the lengths you did to verify his claim

Confused - how does not pirating hurt the company more? Wouldn’t it be the exact same outcome for the company (as when pirated) or is this kinda like when GoT was arguing their popularity is even bigger when you look at the number of people torrenting their episodes

Wouldn’t it be more like having one person seed the room and letting all the leechers stay in the room free of charge

Why are you not placing bets on who the 2033 winner will be with your prescient searching
