  • Their bones are literally not connected in the same ways ours are. Their spine is connected with muscles instead of ligaments, they have special spinal discs that let them flex further, they have a "floating" clavicle, etc.

  • Hayley Williams Slams Christian Music Industry Amid Sex Scandal

    Jump

  • Good for her, but I can't take articles serious when they use slam, slamming or slammed repeatedly and and unironically.

  • Revealed: Thousands of UK university students caught cheating using AI

  • Actually caught, or caught with a "ai detection" software?

  • Spaniards packing water pistols blame impact of mass tourism for housing crunch

    Jump

  • At least some of the protestors know it's the fault of companies like airbnb and similar, and are advocating for restricting them(which is already in the works and was announced last month). They mostly want to limit the amount of private residences being rented out to tourists, to get more reasonable number of visitors.

    The ones running around with water pistols and blaming most things on tourists, don't understand very basic economics. Because while cutting off most tourism might indeed lower housing cost quite a bit. It will also massively lower the demand for jobs, salaries will plummet, etc., because so much of their local economy is tied to tourism. So relatively speaking many wont notice a big difference in percentage of salary spent on housing, if they block most tourism.

  • He must’ve said something that threatened the people in power.

    If you'd taken a few seconds to open the article, that is explained in the opening sentence.

    Here it is for the other lazy people:

    Saudi authorities arrested al-Jasser in 2018 and seized his devices, believing that he was behind an X, then known as Twitter, account that documented allegations of corruption within the Saudi royal family

  • Just to be clear: Snopes is not trustworthy, they lie with clear political motivation.

    They're not even trying to hide it, as they said "The available evidence is too scant to draw a solid conclusion." about Elons saluting.

  • I wonder how many hundreds of millions of dollars they've set aside for settlements.

  • Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi

    Jump

  • Their comment was indicating that laptop batteries will be damaged if left plugged in constantly. Which is a thing that can happen with some laptops, and most old ones.

    My comment was about how some modern laptops when left plugged in, will charge the battery and then start running directly from the wall-power once the battery is full. They bypass the charging once it is indicated to have a "full charge".

  • Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi

    Jump

  • That depends on the age and quality of the laptop. It's been a while since some started directly running off the cable when the battery is full.

  • LAPD mobilizes every single officer ahead of ‘No Kings Day’ protests

    I wonder how many people in LA have a single cop for a neighbor.

  • Linux Users Switching Back to Linux

    Jump

  • That's because all the people who don't have issues, aren't going to make comments about not having issues in a community that is basically dedicated to shitting on it(seriously, check top posts. It's not "haha linux funny meme", it's "windows bad" over and over again).

    Even if they do make a commen,like you, they get downvoted by people who like to wallow in misery.

  • I don't really disagree with you, and think she's off in her assement, but she has brought them up in relation to the writing:

    This band is so in touch for me with Jacob's character. This really raw, uncontrolled emotion — where it's not about some person who's grown up and callused over and learned how to control things. It's someone who's feeling it for the first time and just wants to go out and blow things up. The song 'Famous Last Words' is a really romantic version of Jacob saying, 'Okay, I'm putting myself out there, and you're probably going to break me, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm still going to make the offer.

  • China ready to drop all tariffs on African imports

    Jump

  • Yeah it's often overlooked that one of the main struggles have been local infrastructure and production to make African countries self-sufficient. And with over a decade of Chinese infrastructure like modern roads able to handle trucks being built, and removal of these tariffs. It opens the door to expand production and long term growth.

    There are of course negative aspects involved, but it's still a potential game changer when it comes to global trade and production.

  • Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor Backlash

  • At an absolute bare minimum it would have to be a separate subdomain, like the "simple" version(you can replace "en"(or other languages) to get a "simpler" version of many popular pages. Example). Although it should probably be a full separate domain.

  • Tuna, beans, Spam: Trump’s tariffs threaten the canned foods millions rely on to survive

    Jump

  • It's not about shortages, it's about labor. They're bringing back the "company store", they'll get import excemptions and similar and force people to them and lock them into a system they can't escape.

    It makes it so people can't save money, can't move, can't rise in the class system, etc.. They can only work.

    Edit for clarification: Around the 1900s and earlier, some companies would pay salaries in company credit, not cash. The credits could only be used in the company store, not the general store, or other company stores. So they were literally unable to save up any money or do anything but keep working for the same company until they died. And this would be easily implemented now, by giving company stores special benefits in terms of tariffs and regulations. Forcing less fortunate people into was if effectively servitude.

  • Trump is ‘not all there,’ Newsom says amid Los Angeles fight

    Jump

  • Him, RFK, the other heads of departments and agencies they've instated, etc. are mostly just morons put there to take the blame.

    And media(social and traditional) is eating it up, constantly mocking their stupid statements while ignoring the real scary stuff being pushed by the people behind them with the money.

    It's just back to projection about "the swamp" and billionaires controlling politicians.
