  • How much do you tip at a restaurant?

    Jump

  • Your choice not to tip will make no difference to the company, but every difference to a person who suffers through customer service for a living.

    "I don't want to subsidize a company" is just you inventing a convenient way to justify what is essentially theft. Why stop at not tipping? You could probably get away with stealing IDK, playground equipment too.

  • NIH announces incredible cuts to all active and future grants

    Jump

  • Thanks for the quote, but it's still not a cut to the grant itself.

    Believe it or not, I also think university research depts should continue to exist and that major budget shortfalls due to this are not in our best interest.

    Hope your abrasive remarks are making you feel better.

  • If my statement was wrong, feel free to correct it. But based on reading the article, this change is not a "cut" to grants as you indicated in your title.

    Will this change cause significant disruption? Almost certainly. But there's an argument to be made for the change, namely that NIH grants should support the science rather than the university and that university overhead costs should be subsidized in some other way.

  • This isn't a cut (yet), it's a budgetary allocation requirement. It matches what is already required by most private non-profits.

  • Physicist May Have Solved The Grandfather of All Time-Travel Paradoxes

    Jump

  • Translation: following time travel, everything resets to exactly as it was before time travel.

    Not exactly groundbreaking, considering this is assumed by the premise of a closed timeline curve.

    Say I have US$10,000. What's the best use of that money if my goal is to stop climate change?

  • You could buy a couple of acres of land and turn it into a forest preserve. And then don't let anyone buy it to build or cut down trees / etc.

    Depending on how much you care, you could even plant a sustainable forest and grow hardwood as an investment.

  • Texas governor buys billboards warning migrants they'll be raped if they illegally cross border

    Jump

  • The billboard says many women are raped by the ppl guiding the illegal border crossings.

  • Texas House introduces bill to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve

  • As of March 2024, El Salvador's bitcoin gambit stood at a 50% profit, with bitcoin having recorded a new all-time high of over $69,000. --the article

  • Savings Hack Rule

    Jump

  • Shi Zhengli, the virologist at centre of COVID lab-leak theory, reveals coronavirus sequences from Wuhan institute.

    Jump

  • If you believe the virus came from the Wuhan center and that was covered up, how could you trust a scientist from there to truthfully make this report? They could have just omitted a match to SARS-CoV2 if they found one.

    Probably this needed to be published but it seems like a lose-lose proposition for the researchers and I doubt it will give conspiracy theorists a pause.

  • 'That's Oligarchy,' Says Sanders as Billionaires Pump Cash Into Trump Campaign | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • Yeah and the senators who ratified women's right to vote were all elected by men but they still did the ethical thing.

    At least Sanders seems to want to reduce billionaires' disproportionate influence on politics.

    Maybe you're ok if Elon Musk's opinion on how much you should get taxed counts a billion times more than yours, but you really shouldn't be.
