  • Due to the never-ending sharp rise in the cost of living now it's a hamster, a bag of sunflower seeds, and a stray cat that's kinda your friend but clearly looks like it's gone through some tough shit.

  • A rail conversion! That's pretty cool, like in RttF2!

    I didn't know trolleybuses already had batteries back in the eighties, I thought it was a more recent development, that's super cool too.

    Also, that 260 is a fine looking bus, most buses I've seen in the last decades looked pretty mah imo.

  • Due to the massive droughts caused by global warming the river is now a tiny stream that dries most of the year and you can just pass walking with your wolf, your goat, and your cabbage.

  • 'Electric bus' usually means a bus that relays in batteries to supply electricity to the motor(s). When, instead, it uses trolly poles (plural, it needs two) it's called 'trolleybus'.

    The third one is weirder. It's like a tram/trolley, but I don't see any pole or pantograph to supply the energy. I've read about diesel 'tram-trains', essentially several trams or light rail vehicles linked together. Do you know something more about this last one?

  • Trump tells Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon to replace economist over tariff predictions

    Jump

  • Honestly, this 'economist' had it coming. Did they think that economists' work is doing actual economic predictions? Lmao. Your work is to say what rich and powerful people want you to say.

    Edit: grammar

  • Lol, imagine being so naive (or dense) you think these two things can exist without each other.

  • What are the low-rated movies you enjoyed the most or think should be rated much higher?

    Jump

  • Not to shame your taste or anything, but I've loudly chuckled when I've read this one. That's the only movie I've walked out of the theater from. Not joking. IMHO it is _over_rated, even a 0/10 is too high of a rating for that clusterfuck.

  • Workers striking by choice could lose unemployment benefits in blue states under GOP proposal

    Jump

  • Unemployment while on strike?? That doesn't exist in my eu country, I didn't know it existed anywhere at all!

    Is this a thing anywhere else in the world?? My quick web search only returns these blue states in the USA...

  • Not quite... I mean depending on what you're comparing it to. Like if you compare it to a person doing it—breathing, eating, space(home, office...), electricity...—the Ilm is much more efficient. Now a random person that wouldn't have produced any image, text, song.. whatever, that is now generating a hundred of them a day is, indeed, very wasteful and bad for the environment.

    For comparison, the co2 emissions from training gpt3 were equivalent to 1250 people's breathing for a year.

    Now about the stealing part, I'm not very fond of 'intellectual property' very much myself, nor am I very respectful of it, so I will not discuss it.

  • What kind of ROI did they promise to their investors?

    Jump

  • 'Paid'. When some egyptaboo tells you that "there weren't slaves in Egypt at this time", remember the 'workers' were paid in housing, bread, and beer. And were kinda bound by their duty to the God-Pharaoh. Totally not slavery!

    Tho now thinking of it it's not like my wage stretches farther than that either...

    Edit: spelling and punctuation are hard.

  • Not a crime to be drunk at any time in Spain. Is it illegal to be drunk or there's a permitted timeframe to be drunk where you live?

  • You can have beer in a bigger format in Spain, and if you go to a place to drink beer you would order something from a 'tercio' (330ml bottle) to a 'jarra' (usually 500ml, some places have 1-1.5l mugs). The tiny beer glasses (caña, ~200ml) have another purposes, for example if the place serve good 'tapas', a complimentary small dish served with your drink, since they have the same size whatever you order you get more food with smaller beers; or if you aren't staying at the place and just want, or need, a quick refreshment before going somewhere else.

  • Privacy is one of those things that has to be collective to be effective. It doesn't matter if you put on a hat, a cloak, shades, and a fake beard when you go out of your home if you are the only one doing it, they'll just identify you as the person in a cloak, hat, shades, and a fake beard.

  • An organized, disciplined military is more effective at defending against an organized, disciplined military.

    That's true. The thing is: defending what? The country? The government? The king? Going to war is trading my (relative) safety for theirs, and I've never been too fond of them really.
