  • How long do you think you could survive on a deserted island for?

  • Solar still, or a transpiration bag.

    Les Stroud said that the one thing he can count on in every survival situation, is finding trash.

  • " You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nr, nr, nr” By 1968 you can’t say “nr”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “nr, nr.”

  • Probably a bad idea. If I was leading a boarding party, and all the defender's retreated below decks, I'd consider it a victory. Take down the sails, pin the rudder, then park my ship outside of their cannons' firing arc. Then just wait. Maybe have my crew bring over buckets of shit, vomit, or whatever other vile substances we could find, and dump them down the grates. If I got real desperate, I could just board up the doors and set the ship on fire. Sure, I'll miss out on most of the treasure, but those dwarves will probably burn to death before the boat totally sinks.

  • Darkvision limited to 60ft. Nighttime navigation was based on stars.

    A ship can barely contain enough ale to last a dwarf a month, let alone an entire crew...

  • Who agrees?

  • The problem is we are only paying for half the lifecycle of the product. Start charging disposal fees to companies for every plastic/non-recycleable bit, and your head will spin at how fast they can get us 90-100% repairable, recyclable, and re-useable products.

  • White House says slavery is being taught wrong, should not be so negative

    Jump

  • I think the author's are being cautious about calling out someone's appearance. It can be hard to determine if a plastic surgery did happen, and if it was purely cosmetic.

    Like if you look at her now, she clearly has a difference nose (more noticeable in more recent photos), but writing "Kristi had a nose job to look more like Ivanka" lands the wrong way if you can't prove that she actually had a nose job, and that it was for that reason. Imagine how bad your ass would get sued if she actually had a cyst or melanoma on her nose, and had to have it removed and then get reconstructive surgery?

  • White House says slavery is being taught wrong, should not be so negative

  • Let's not trivialize slavery by saying that everyone else was doing it.

    As far as the deeper cuts go, it was about overt racism as well. Slavery in the US was justified by saying that the slaves were less than people (or even human) because they weren't white. Slavery may have been abolished, but that justification is still strong if you go to the wrong parts of the US today.

  • Do you take kidneys?

  • Hell yes.

    Every year, we should take the richest person in the country and redistribute half their assets.

    Also, if you use unrealized assets as collateral for a loan, you should be taxed on the value of those assets.

  • Seems kinda weird right? Dog Whistle?

  • That and H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 means HH which means heil hitler.

    No seriously, it is that dumb.

  • Wealth inequality seems like the only outcome in a system where capital gains are taxed less than labor

  • We need a corporate death penalty. If corporations are people, we should be be able to charge them like people. Well-Fargo scammed over a hundred million dollars from their customers. I see no reason why they can't be in a corporate jail, where damaged parties are paid out first, then the customers, then the employees, then the executives, and if there is anything left, let the investors have it.

    Same for Equifax, they lost literally everyone's personal data after collecting and selling it without their consent. If I did something like that, I would get multiple life sentences. The company and its assets should be liquidated, and the money generated should be used to setup a Identify Theft taskforce proactively checks for identity theft on affected individuals and pays out 100% if they are damaged by Equifax's actions.

  • SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink

    Jump

  • We are talking about Starlink here, correct? Owned by Elon

    No, we are talking about how hard of a target a satellite based network is vs a terrestrial fiber network. Starlink is being used purely as an example here, but is by no means a complete representation of all aspects of the technology.

    That said, all satellite networks are subject to dying if their ground-stations are taken offline...

    Yes, but they can route traffic between satellites and back down to working ground stations. Theoretically, one working ground station could keep the satellite network connected to the entire Internet. Hence why Starlink still works over Ukraine, and why it is such a big deal when Elon shuts it off.

  • SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink

  • Sure, that's a fault of Elon though, not a fault of satellite networks.

  • Do you take kidneys?

  • It's always the same answer.

    Why aren't people having kids any more?

    Why aren't people going to bars anymore?

    Why don't people want to work anymore?

    Because 8 lazy lucky fuckers own 50% of everything that we've built.

  • ‘Absolutely Disgusting’: Trump Sparks Fury By Joking He Can Cancel Future Elections If U.S. Gets Into a War

  • If you're hurtling towards disaster, shouldn't you try the brakes even if you think they aren't going to work? We can't move the United States to the left as long as far right authoritarians are being voted into office. Once some stability is established, we can start working towards more progressive policies. If given the chance between voting for the right and voting for the centrist, I'm going to pick the centrist every time. The only alternative is violence, which is a last resort in my mind (and we're getting awfully fucking close).
