California also has the stupidest water rights with “use it or lose” it clauses that counters any incentives to become more efficient. A couple families control a ridiculous amount of water rights.

Murder By Death

“I found a bullet hole…. Never mind”

Cost and efficiency may not be the same at all. If the true cost of a utility like water aren’t being passed on to the businesses, then they don’t need to focus on efficiency.

See literally any of the giant farms with legacy water rights in California to understand why there is very little incentive for them to become more efficient with water usage.

Interesting how you attribute no agency to the locals in “once the Taliban are back”. Implying it’s all NATO’s fault and somehow assigning no blame to the locals who just allowed it all to come back with no resistance.

In parallel, initiate a scaling vacancy tax for both commercial and residential properties that rapidly ramps up the longer a property is left vacant.

Reminds me of Is California on fire?

There are at least half a dozen similar types of straits globally that could have “fees” added to them. Are you suggesting that this would be a good trend to catch on? Literally increases costs of shipping globally. Who do you think will be paying all of these cost increases?

I may have had bad luck, but I feel like this is very common across any American car brand. Recently rode in a new Rivian, and the door closing had a rattle like something was a little loose.

Try not to get any more doctors on the way to the parking lot!

So did he for sure.

Remember that Lemmy, and this sub in particular, is absolutely rabidly anti-AI. It’s like the Jellyfin vs Plex thing dialed up to 111

There’s a saying with motorcycle riders called “dress for the slide, not the ride”

Next up, turning these into AI web scraper bots!

Lucky that you got the cushy job shitposting instead of planting 🌻🌻🌻. Hope your luck doesn’t change!

We will be sending you a bill to upgrade our power plant. Thank you for your data center services.

What idiotic wording. So if I see some asshole shooting a woman who they believe is having an abortion, I guess I can then legally kill him too since “any person has the right to defend the life of themselves or another, even by use of deadly force if necessary, from willful destruction by another person.”

Oh no, then someone can kill me for the same reason… and so on.

Well first they need to get promoted to “assistant to the mercenary” before they become truly professional.

It’s like the standard ”I use Arch btw” meme, but maybe there are too many Linux users on Lemmy so these people need to find a new way to feel special.

It’s always funny when they depict adults being reunited with their children. How come those adults aren’t depicted as children being reunited with THEIR parents… and recursively so on and so on.

The “fuck ai” crowd sounds so much like the “fuck cloud” crowd from 10-15 years ago.
