They’re being petulant and looking to punish their customers. They’re hoping the next time the “Gub” tries to regulate them people will remember rates went up after and push back on government regulation.

They make money hand over fist. How DARE someone “take something from them” when they’re owed everything!

Just dabbling in general science might help.

Look at that tree. Where does it come from? A bunch of random atoms somehow decided to make a tree. Out of what? If we burn a tree, all we get is a little ash. That ash is the only solid chemicals that the tree got from the ground. What was the rest made of? Where did it come from? Photosynthesis tells us that the rest of the tree came from the air. 90% of every tree is just conjured from air.

We’re surrounded everywhere by giant air crystals.

What makes atoms want to get together and form those?

Tons of fascinating questions if you think about it.

Every year, we open up a stadium for a giant Pro Slavery + Pro Nazi + Pro Confederacy rally. At the end of the rally, we lock all the doors and sell everyone in the stadium to the highest-bidding slavers.

Everyone at the rally gets to enjoy their pro-slavery desires and everyone else is rid of them. Win-win.

Hope they like it unwashed. Ain’t gonna be no showers in WWIII.

Yup. It was the same enshittification process. “Subscribe to cable. We don’t have commercials!” Then a few years later, “Guess what?!? You’re getting commercials!”

Cable is dead! Long live Cable!

Or just respond, “Why is it so small?”

we hope will will see some reviews by western media, with clear comparisons against AMD and Intel solutions.

So Tom’s Hardware is hoping that someone with motherboard expertise will step up and test these things proper so (presumably) Tom’s Hardware can report the results.

The order states that Giuliani must “desist and refrain from practicing law in any form,” including “giving to another an opinion as to the law or its application or any advice”

Wow. Impressive. There goes the Fox News gigs.

How does one set up such a filter?

What’s the second reason?

Didn’t you hear about that about that wind turbine that exploded and spread wind all over a dozen farmer’s fields? /s

Got a message saying I was banned from a sub I wasn’t even subscribed to and hadn’t posted to. I replied to the message telling them to get stuffed. They reported me and got me banned from Reddit for 3 days.

So instead, I banned Reddit and haven’t looked back. F-'em.

Tesla’s newest approach to cost-cutting? No longer paying for air in their customer’s tires?

Nuclear Power Industry: “We need to invest $10B in nuclear plants!”
Everyone else: “Why not just spend $1B on battery storage instead?”
Nuclear Power Industry: “Nah, that’s not feasible.”

I skip the app and use one of Safeway’s “Please Don’t Rape Me” cards that I found in the parking lot.

True. And the nepo-babies that lead these corporations are making millions off dollars each year simply by showing up to work.
Switching over to electric vehicles is inevitable. But who’s going to do that work and take that risk? What if they screw up? Ain’t no nepo-baby gonna screw up that cash cow. They’re going to continue showing up to work every day, sucking up the income and when the end of gasoline happens, they’ll throw up their hands and say, “No one could have seen that coming.”

(To be fair, it’s not just management. There are tons of people at every level who don’t want to risk losing their job with an uncertain outcome over just showing up to work every day and doing the same job they already know. But it’s the “leadership’s” job to do that anyway for the long-term health of the company.)

But not at the software companies that require monthly subscriptions, right? They get money every month, so they have lots of incentive to fix all the bugs. Right? … Right? /s

Talking about energy wastage, next time you’re walking around commercial buildings, pay attention to how many lights are on during the middle of the day.

Drove by a closed car lot the other day. The place has been abandoned for months. Weeds growing up everywhere. The entire lot is fenced off getting ready for demolition.
The only building on the lot is small and completely surrounded by glass walls, so you can see right through it. The red neon around the outside of the building is still on 24 hours.
