  • Under the most ideal circumstances, how 'clean' is drinkable tap water by the time it reaches our taps?

    Jump

  • I had a family member who had a kidney stone start drinking their tap water a lot so they wouldn't get another one. Their tap (well) water had so much calcium that they ended up getting another kidney stone from drinking too much water.

  • Most US employers combine Vacation Days and Sick Days as PTO. If you want to take time off, whether it's approved leave or you're sick, it comes out of your PTO allotment.

  • Peter Thiel and other tech billionaires are publicly shielding their children from the products that made them rich

  • I remember something about a campells soup (or other soup?) executive saying that they won't even eat their own companies product because it was gross and for poor people. I guess they tried it one day and were disgusted by it. But they'll keep selling it because $$$.

  • Any noticeable latency and I won't even give something a chance to try it. Needing to send my inputs over the internet, wait for them to get processed, and then have the video output streamed back to my local setup means even a small amount of latency. 40ms (which is what I expect for my connection in online gaming servers) would kill the experience of many games, especially rhythm games or other high-reflex games like the entire fighting game genre. Some stuff like Turn Based RPGs could possibly benefit from cloud gaming for users with underperforming hardware, but that's it. Strong No Thanks F*** Off from me when it comes to cloud gaming.

  • Morrowind is probably one of my favorites, but it definitely has not aged well. Going the mage route with custom spells can absolutely make you overpowered though. A single Damage Strength spell can cripple most enemies, as they become over encumbered by their few items in inventory.

  • Alabama is forcing incarcerated people to work at hundreds of companies, including McDonald’s & Wendy’s. Unionizing is illegal. The state takes 40% of wages.

  • They don't make that kind of money by being smart. They make it by screwing over everyone else for profit.

  • If you catch them studdering, run.

  • For the people that can't afford not to take the crappy job, sometimes it's best to just take it but keep looking for something better. Not everybody has money in the bank to be picky about employment.

  • Minneapolis Live Updates: Man Killed by Federal Agents Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun

    Jump

  • The videos I've seen definitely show him using a phone to film what's happening as he begins to help the lady that was assaulted. What I've seen other people say is that he had a legal, holstered pistol that was taken by ICE officers moments before executing him.

  • ‘What the f*ck did you do?!’ Video contradicts DHS claims about killing of Alex Pretti

    Jump

  • I think Executed would be the correct term. The EXECUTED him while several agents held him down.

  • They executed this person while several officers held them down.

  • This is exactly what came to mind for me as well! My second grade teacher read this and Hatchet to us. I remember him trying to figure out if it was from stray bullets from a hunter's gun or what was going on.

  • An artist will have an easier time creating concept art than AI will have giving you an accurate representation of what you envision using keywords. If they turn to AI Slop instead for creative ideas, then the project they need concept art for never had a concept in the first place, and is doomed to fail.

  • ELI5 How is this legal? Doesn't the constitution give us the right to tell them piss off?

    Jump

  • If someone was in the process of actively murdering me, I would think it safe to assume they are aware that murder is illegal. If I tell them it's illegal, they're probably more likely to double down and make sure I'm dead so that I can't be a witness.

  • Minnesota Is Just the Beginning. California and New York Are ‘Next’ | The Trump administration appears to be planning to leverage the same playbook used in Minnesota to go after other blue states.

    Jump

  • The problem isn't people not believing it, the problem is the people believing and wanting it who voted for and support Trump.

  • If it takes that long for the average person to earn a billion dollars, imagine how long it would take to spend a billion dollars. These billionaires aren't spending this money and putting it back into the economy, there is no "trickle down" economics happening here. They're using it to buy more assets and investments to make even more money.

  • I don't know, if I had the money to buy two Miami homes, entirely move three operating businesses and relocate a company's headquarters, I wouldn't be worrying about losing 1/20th of my income over 5 years. Which really costs more? It's almost as if they're doing this out of spite instead of saving money.
