  • EU, life expectancy reaches 81.5 years

    Jump

  • But are they aging healthily? I work in a healthcare setting and there are so many 70-somethings that are barely functioning. I'd rather have a 75 year expectancy but with a high level of health (which includes independence and function) than add 10 years of poor health and constant care just to die miserable.

  • UK: Chinese fast-fashion giant Shein wants to list on the London Stock Exchange, but claims of abuse and links to China are causing the Government a headache

    Jump

  • Shein is not fast fashion. It's ultra fast fashion. With clothing of completely disposable quality that often can't even survive being washed. It's the exact opposite of what we need going forward.

  • what works for you to learn large numbers of technical / medicinal jargon?

    Jump

  • to learn a lot of things systematically: medicines (not the brand names, but the active components, because doctors where I work use components extensively)

    It seems OP is aware of this.

  • Testimony reveals doors would not open on Cybertruck that caught fire in Piedmont, killing three

    Jump

  • "after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch" Ah yes, the bulletproof windows that could double as submergible windows for an unspecified amount of time at an unspecified depth.

  • Starbucks continues to be terrible

    Jump

  • And it's just mediocre coffee anyway. Roasted too dark just to keep a consistency in flavour between locations. Starbucks is a tax dodging lifestyle brand, they could start a clothing line and make the same money as they do selling coffee.

  • A dangerous game the 1% plays. Everyone has their limits.

    Jump

  • When they stretch harder they just blame the war/immigrants/politics/weather. When there's some slack it's because of the company's tireless work at improving everyone's life. Until it's time to stretch again.

  • Trump on U.S. annexation of Greenland: 'I think it'll happen'

    Jump

  • Denmark says no, the politicians in Greenland say no. What is Trump going to do? Invoke article 5 on himself?

  • 'We Are Witnessing a New Brain Drain' as Scientists Flee America for France

    Jump

  • Cool, what you're doing over there?

  • Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law.

    Jump

  • Why more? Why add an extra layers, more complexity? Why not just ban deposits? The rental contract already covers damages caused by tenants. And it's not like you pay a €2000 deposit, cause €10.000 worth of damage and not have to pay the additional €8000.

    Maybe in the past, with cash payments and paper records. Deposits added a layer or security. But does that still hold true today? I'm sure landlords will disagree.

    If the landlord believes the tenant left the property in a damaged state, they can enforce the contract. Upside is that it's not worth it to sue for trivial shit like nail holes or greasy stove vacuums. Now the tenants are always on the backfoot, spending money to get their own money back.

  • Also, the earth will never be in the same place twice. So it's not even like you can only jump increments of a solar year.

  • US and Ukraine Hatch 'Ceasefire' Travesty

    Jump

  • You're not making a lot of sense. So I see no point in talking any further.

  • US and Ukraine Hatch 'Ceasefire' Travesty

    Jump

  • after some years plenty believed it had to do with WMD’s

    No, it was very clear it was to get Iraq out of Kuwait after it invaded. Iraq wanted to gain more regional dominance and add Kuwait's oil reserves to it's own economy after the costly Iran-Iraq war.

    you Canadians

    Also not Canadian, the world is a big place

  • Teletubbies

    Jump

  • They want to catch Kingcrabs in Alaska?

  • Who said you can't immerse yourself when playing with the opposite gender?

    Jump

  • Keanu Reeve's voice acting is pretty sub-par most of the time. And even in Phantom Liberty, especially in the beginning Female V (played by Cherami Leigh) sounded a bit off, as if she needed to find V's voice again after how much time was in between the main game and the DLC. But other than that I have to agree, top-notch work. Made in Poland ;)

  • As a total aside: The baader-meinhof phenomenon at play. Just yesterday I was talking about Lain Banks because his work was quoted in a video game. And here he shows up again.

  • I think you need to brush up on your history. And who is "you"? I'm not even American my friend.

  • RFK Jr.: It Would Be Better if ‘Everybody Got Measles’

    Jump

  • And then Trump will rescind the ADA and disability benefits so those unable to (fully) work will become homeless and destitute and die from exposure or police brutality.

  • Just look at how ppl use their smart speakers. They ask it to set timers or ask for the weather. AI will be the norm once the benefit is obvious to everyone. When I can trust my AI with my credit card info and allow it to purchase stuff for me. Right now AI is basically a self-organizing dictionary which is often confidently incorrect. Not once has GPT told me it didn't know something.

  • I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car.

    Jump

  • Sure, but poverty is a lack of money. The inability to sustain oneself healthily. Once you have "sufficient" money, having even more won't make you happier.
