@TTrevethan @DrNickA So the times used to be a pint and a half, but now less than a half

@DrNickA Not that long ago

Dystopia is Now

@bitcoinpanda69 It's just plastic, it'll be fine.

Aliens are probably laughing their asses off at how we're all taking in all this plastic and no one cares and no agency regulates it It's like society collectively mass-smelling lead paint before they realized that was bad, back when they thought it was probably fine

@jpthor Already the restaurants are getting angry American tourists complaining it isn't like the picture! (probably)

“Add an image of the food on this menu, in the menu” 5.5 imagegen is insane 10/10 no notes - try it

@davepl1968 Instant is an odd one.. Yeah you can perceive less than that but your "now" can be much longer. Like listen to a foreign news report you don't understand a bit stream of nonsense. Yet, they say "Philadelphia", you understand from the start of the word.. it's injected in post!

I can start and stop a Casio stopwatch in 0.07 seconds, which is 70ms. 200ms is not instant...

I will Open Source this again soon.. but the repo is ina right state at the moment and plus, even with Opus' help this has taken me bloody ages to get it to this point so I'm gonna focus on something else for a bit...

@hauseoffunk @willouej Yeah I knew the song and even why it is a joke but still irked me that it didn't sound anything like it. I assumed it was some intro bit I had forgotten!

@willouej I was pretty young when this came out and didn’t understand the joke. My older brother explained it to me and at some point showed me ‘stairway to heaven.’ It never squared with what I heard in the movie and I always just assumed I couldn’t hear music well.

Okay watching Wayne's World on TV. And for the first time I can ever remember I actually saw the real Stairway to Heaven riff played. The first clip is what I'm used to, the second is what I saw today.

@Drevopolis @binance Yeah, I often thought that would make more sense but it just doesn't read like that to me. Bye, Nance! 👋

@Rotwang9000 @binance I always thought it was supposed to sound like "Finance".

once you hear it, you can’t unhear it

...and so WINBIT32.COM V2.0, Just released, will use Vaults as default.. either compatible with @vultisig or with our own extras in so you can do $ZEC Orchard Private Sends. Lots of other changes too.. go look.

@Drevopolis @binance Bin Ants, Surely? But then I don't know what lamp door is so what do I know!

@binance You're telling me it's pronounced "Beenance"???

@PeterMcCormack The little socialist doesn't want your little shop. They always prefer big things so they can unionise and have to deal with fewer people, with the ultimate aim of just nationalising it. The reason they do it IS to close you down, it's not a byproduct.

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@TakiVan1 @lyvidian1 @boldleonidas @opensea The whole point of a vote is that you do have influence. Everyone has the deciding vote and that is the point. If you CAN see that everyone is voting red then yeah, red makes sense, but if there is a realistic chance blue wins then you should go blue, red is condemning others.

Let's say you and only you can see the future. You know the split. Unless you are the deciding vote (which realistically you wouldn't be), will voting blue "save everyone" despite knowing blue already won? Would voting red "kill" anyone despite no one dying? Or knowing blue loses, does voting red kill anyone? Or must you vote blue to not be a murderer (but die)? In either scenario, nothing happens that you can influence by pressing red. In one scenario, something happens (you dying) by pressing blue. This is true even without knowing the future.

@dannkky @anferneechach @MattWalshBlog Kids aren't going to get much more out of helping cook dinner every day than every so often.. just now instead of being put in front of the tv to watch cartoons they are learning to play chess in their tablet or something. Obviously tablets for kids can be a good thing.

@anferneechach @MattWalshBlog She should be learning to cook dinner.

Obviously giving a tablet to a 4 year old is total madness. There is no upside for the child. It’s all downside. Parents do it for one reason and one reason only. To keep their kids quiet and docile so that they (the parents) can spend more time on their own devices.

@TakiVan1 @lyvidian1 @boldleonidas @opensea The only realistic scenario that everyone survives and nothing happens is 50%+ blue pressing. Yeah if EVERYONE presses red, nothing happens, but is it really a good idea into being pushed to vote for someone because they'll kill others otherwise?

@lyvidian1 @boldleonidas @opensea blue is literally a lot of others might die because you all pressed blue

@grok @tradwifetoday @HadleyHadlen Because Americans are fat?

Infant mortality rates in Nordic countries (Iceland 1.6, Norway 1.8, Finland 2.1, Sweden 2.3, Denmark 3.0 per 1,000 live births) are substantially lower than the USA's 5.1 in 2024 data, though US reporting uses a broader definition of infant death and factors like healthcare access play key roles in the gap.

American women will stick a newborn in a crib across the house, hook up a speaker system, and sprint up and down the hallway several times a night. The co-sleeping Nordic brain cannot comprehend.

@NoNonsenseND Some of the things on this platform are like that though.. suggesting it is ADHD or Autism to do something completely normal that anyone with half a brain would do. It gets the clicks but seems bad to make people think they are being weird when really it'd be weird not to.

It's not about whether a trait exists in the general population or not. It's about frequency and intensity. Everyone pees but if you're peeing 30 times per day then visit your doctor

@FlagCityFish @NoNonsenseND I started on this same path but went another way entirely, but then got caught up with thinking if it counts if it was prompted to go on such a thought journey... and does thinking about if it counts count if not?

@NoNonsenseND It’s actually 6° of Kevin Bacon which makes me think of the #6 which was Dr J’s # growing up which in turn triggers that red-white-blue ABA ball which makes me think 🇺🇸 & 250yrs anniv’ & that time we went to DC & I got those tacos at the food truck on the mall… now I’m making 🌮

@btc_charlie Had to, or what?

If you had to make £1,000,000 in one day, how would you do it?

@cyb3r_17 @haydendevs I guess it's obvious when you say so! 😂 I never saw the series so for a moment thought it might be a different guy with the same name who looks a bit similar.

@Rotwang9000 @haydendevs (it's a joke)

does anyone know why this ad exists, I see it every single day.

@cyb3r_17 @haydendevs Is he not a fictional character?!

@haydendevs i clicked on it, apparently a chemistry teachers raising fund for his cancer treatment. seems legit tbh
