  • In Denmark, U.S. lawmakers contradict Trump on Greenland

    Jump

  • As an American I can see their perspective though. In the first Trump admin, we could blame the weirdness of the electoral college process as the majority of the population opted against him. This second term is different though. The majority of the US election participants voted in favor of all of this. At that point, it’s pretty fair to blame the populace for the outcome as the majority of voters actively supported this outcome. I still can’t believe when I overhear folk at restaurants actively in favor of this craziness.

  • “She said she voted for Mr. Trump and still supported him, but felt stung by the veto.”. Sounds like they are having the day that they voted for.

  • Trump threatens tariffs on countries that disagree with Greenland takeover plans

    Jump

  • Where are the righteous folk though? I mean, who else is left standing? We got Canada and New Zealand but they don’t have enough of a population to really move the needle. The US is heading in the direction it is. Everything in South America is a target of the US so they would have to organize into a union to be enough of a deterrent. I just don’t see anyone else outside the EU being able to pull this off. If there is another alternative I’m on board.

  • At this point, it appears that the EU is the last bastion of liberal democracy still standing. The world should probably start to move to the Euro as reserve currency and the basis of trade.

  • I recognize bottom right as true detective which is a series and was fantastic.

  • At this rate, these could be used in the defense of Greenland.

  • There is a difference between the America of 30 years ago and now that you may not realize. You reference housing and yeah 30 years ago you could afford housing (possibly) but now private equity has purchased housing so new home ownership is getting impossible. You mentioned American laptops (made in China) and operating systems (Linux is from Finland), but the breakthroughs that allowed for current American tech dominance were based on policies that have been dismantled and now currently exist due to monopolies. We are on a downward trend over here where we are living off the accomplishments of old. Think about it like IBM. They were a tech powerhouse until they moved to being a services company and then became a shadow of their former self. They still exist and are a big company but nothing compared to what they were. That’s America now. Australia has the potential to take the reins if they DO NOT follow the current US example as do many other countries.

  • If you're watching fireworks tonight

  • I noticed that even though I don’t take a ton of photos, I never seemed to look at the ones I took. Ended up just using my whole camera photo album as the standby screen on my TV so it just shows random photos and I finally got some use out of them. It’s been oddly fun to see random photos taken like 15 years ago pop up that I completely forgot about.

  • U.S. vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your school stands. | Rocked by pandemic politics, the nation’s shield against infectious disease is shrinking.

    Jump

  • We just had a pandemic 5 years ago…should be fresh in the memory. As an American, this is a US problem and may additionally be happening elsewhere due to US influence.

  • Doh...

  • I’ve been in the professional workforce since 2003 and haven’t been to one of these. A company I worked for in 2004 had one but since I was new, I had to pull the oncall shift so couldn’t attend. Pretty sure they were going out of style by 2001. If any company I worked for hosted one now I would just think it’s odd and say I was out of town anyways. I like my direct coworkers but can’t imagine a scenario where I would want to attend a party with the managers and execs.

  • I took a class in my undergrad program titled Human Engineering and Ergonomics. It was an elective in comp sci but I really think it should have been a requirement. Going through how humans communicate and perceive interfaces/communication. Every developer should have to take it.

  • Power outage paralyzes Waymo robotaxis when traffic lights go out

    Jump

  • I’ve watched Seattle drivers do worse in a power outage so just stopping was probably safer. The other side of the coin is that everyone gets trapped on the road during an outage as stopped cars block everything.

  • How come hypothetically if I make meth in my home. Knowing full well it could explode and take out my neighbors houses, why am I not charged with attempted murder?

    Jump

  • Ahhhh. That makes sense. I guess I had always assumed that it would be more efficient to have one centralized “burning of the gas” event to create and distribute electricity than numerous individual burning events to create heat but it makes sense that due to the efficiency of just converting gas to heat directly it would be more efficient.

  • I think my curiosity is more around the “why” of the gas lines. I put in another comment above but it’s a good amount of effort to run and maintain these lines when we already have and need electric. We’re adding an additional source of risk to these environments for what additional benefit? I’m not talking trash about gas I’m just wondering what the selling point is. Like I said, I have a gas furnace and it’s fine…no complaints. Is it much more efficient than electric? Hotter? There has to be some compelling reason to put in the effort.
