There are food safety standards for a reason. Coffee isn’t supposed to be served at that high of a temperature. McDonald’s intentionally broke the standard by serving coffee hotter than they were legally allowed to.
You prefer living in a place that McDonald’s can internationally, and repeatedly violate safety standards with no recourse? That’s a weird flex.
It started way before that.
People copying books and sheet music. If you’re talking electronic, then I have “pirated” reel to reel music copied from records from the 60’s.
If you’re talking computers, I have floppy discs copied and passed around from the 80’s.
BBS’s existed in the 70’s and were sharing stuff before IRC became popular.
Heck, if humans can technically make a copy of it, no matter how difficult, we will and freely share it.
The point is, if the certificate gets stolen, there’s no GOOD mechanism for marking it bad.
If your password gets stolen, only two entities need to be told it’s invalid. You and the website the password is for.
If an SSL certificate is stolen, everyone who would potentially use the website need to know, and they need to know before they try to contact the website. SSL certificate revocation is a very difficult communication problem, and it’s mostly ignored by browsers because of the major performance issues it brings having to double check SSL certs with a third party.
Umm… Tomato Vine scented candles already exist and are pretty popular.
Why not Gee-IMP?
Cause your food isn’t ready yet and it allows them to serve the next person while you wait for your food.
With mind bullets?
If you buy in the dip, that means you have extra money that’s not invested.
If you have extra money not invested cause you’re waiting for a dip, then you’re not getting investment returns from the very long period of time we’re not in a dip.
Even if you could predict the future, and determine when the bottom of a dip is so you could put all your money in, you’re still going to come out worse than if you just invested in the first place.
I use rsync to backup, I can delete and restore the whole drive if i want at any time.
I use watchtower to keep things updated. If you schedule the rsync and watchtower correctly, you can get the backup done before the upgrade and there’s basically no lost data with the rollback.
I use uptime Kuma for monitoring, and it shoots me an email with details on what failed.
I automate my upgrades, but I also automate my backups, and monitoring.
If an upgrade breaks something, my health monitor lets me know and I can roll back to the previous day.
Mozilla VPN, which uses Mullvad on the backend, is cheaper if you do the annual plan.
So because we have a poorly run prison system, we should just murder people instead since we’re too lazy to fix it?
C) Cutting the cost of putting someone to death just increases the chances that you’re putting the wrong person to death. It’s expensive cause that’s the best way to ensure that it’s being done right. Cutting costs just means you’re going to make more mistakes.
D) The reason we can’t do it humanely is because anyone with the training to do it right doesn’t want to participate in the process. It’s not that we’re not smart enough. And even if we can do it painlessly, it doesn’t mean that it’s still not a horrible experience.
Why are you putting people do death? What’s the purpose? Cause it makes you feel better that this person isn’t alive anymore? Then that’s a terrible reason.
So they won’t do it again? We already have them locked up, they’re done commiting crimes.
So it stops others from doing it? Well, we already know that doesn’t work.
So what’s the reason?
The death penalty should ALMOST never be used. The only use for the death penalty is for world leaders that direct their subordinates to commit atrocious acts.
Normal civilians, no matter how dangerous, should only ever be treated with dignity. There is no place for state sanctioned murder.
A) It is immoral.
B) The justice system isn’t perfect, and death is final.
C) The actual cost of going through all the trials and effort to put someone to death is typically higher than just keeping them locked up.
D) There is no humane way to put someone to death.
E) It is not effective at preventing crime. It only makes it so people have nothing to lose by being caught.
I run it. It’s good if you want to just host the books. Share my 2k size ebook library with my group of friends.
I have a huge collection of DRM free movies, shows, books, music, etc.
It’s physically in my house, but digitally on my hard drives. With quadruple redundancy, including offline backups.
They used to use your list of installed fonts as one of the data types to figure out who you are.
I’m not sure if that’s still a thing, how many people download new fonts now, but it was an important part of fingerprinting at one point.
Vanguard actually has a MORE ethical index fund - ESGV
Obviously there’s no real ethical capitalism, but this is better than most.

Large, heavy electric vehicles don’t make a lot of sense. The F-150 lightning was a neat idea, but smaller EVs make far more sense for personal vehicles.
Electric vans would be much better as a work vehicle.
Electric work trucks aren’t ready yet.
