I’ve been using the same two synthetic fabric bags for literally 6 years and still haven’t changed them. I sewed up the edges 3 or 4 times to reinforce them, but they’re still kicking and are definitely gonna be around for at least another year. Plus they’re small enough to carry around all the time so I literally haven’t used a store bag in 6 years.
That’s almost certainly just a copypasta
Why do people hate on Aribnb so much? I mean I don’t like what they’re doing to the housing market, yes, they’re inflating housing prices by reducing the incentive to sell, and there’s a housing crisis basically everywhere right now. But the product itself is quite good. It may be the largest one but there are still competitors, and the prices are typically far cheaper than a hotel. When I look at e.g. Croatia and the coastline, on Šolta for example you literally have a single hotel that’s wildly expensive, or short term rentals. I know I’d definitely never go for the hotel personally.
Also I don’t get the “tech bros solving nonexistent problems argument”. Like sure, technically you could do it yourself without the website, but that’s like saying that why would anyone make a flight aggregate site or Ebay. Those things are possible via other methods, but this makes it far easier.
Like I legitimately want to know what people’s problems are with the actual product, cuz from my perspective it’s pretty good. I agree that it perpetuates overarching problems like overturism or the housing crisis, but I’m talking about the app and service itself which a lot of people here seem to have a problem with.
One thing I don’t get is that e.g. I have Revolut installed, I use it regularly, Google knows this yet still half or a quarter of my ads for months now has still been Revolut. Why??
Half of these have nothing to do with oil lol
Croatia stronk. We have more people that emigrated outside of our country than stayed in it.
Sometimes people don’t vote by logic. They see stuf going to shit, hear grand promises of how “we’ll fix everything, the establishment is incompetent/evil”, and hope they’ll deliver.
Isn’t that usually in the discretion of the country that built the fighter? E.g. the US? Usually the US has the final say on whether a fighter they sold to a country can be resold, and I find it weird that they would then allow the Netherlands to do something like that without their approval.
To some extent that is true. But on the other hand, Windows is both usually easier to learn (has a UI for 99% of stuff, basic design principles dictate that it’s much easier to remember what to click on than what to type), and it just works. I rarely have to interact with the OS in any way to get something to work. I’ve tried multiple times to switch to Linux, but it just has so much stuff that doesn’t work out of the box, or at all. Da Vinci Resolve has a native version which is completely broken, Dota 2 has a native version but doesn’t pre compile shaders, so whenever e.g. I open a new hero in the hero list it lags for 1-2s, many games with anti cheat don’t work, good luck with anything in VR, no popular distro that I’ve seen has a clipboard and the ones I found online are just worse than the Windows one, etc.
I want to switch, I really do, but I’m already a power user on Windows, I would have to learn a lot to be on the same level on Linux, add onto that the fact that a lot of stuf that’s important to me just doesn’t work properly on Linux, it just doesn’t make sense for me, and for most people they’re gonna be a lot less willing to switch. Most people will not bother trying to change something, even if it’s objectively better. Most people just want to stick with what already works for them, and until Linux is able to just work with no need for user intervention, especially through terminals which people fear, it’s still a long way from mainstream adoption.
Yeah but on the other hand you also have to wrestle with Linux a lot, and personally usually a lot more time wise. It’s all tradeoffs and what people care more about.
Fair enough
Yeah but that should probably just be a comment then.
I just hope they’re not rushing too much like the Soviets, and we get another Chernobyl
Interesting, I heard it had a very bad reputation for it’s reliability, but I guess it’s just that it’s extremely hard to control then.
You are missing the very crucial part about how this is generalised. That’s like saying we don’t need to teach math to people anymore, we have calculators now. The AI isn’t too capable currently, but dismissing it would be like dismissing consumer PCs, because what are people gonna do with computers?
It isn’t an existential problem, but it’s still a very big problem, not just for the upper class, but for everyone.
So the PKK are?
What the fuck
I don’t get it? Why? What do they gain from this? Killing a few random civilians in an airstrike on an evacuation corridor serves no purpose other than bad PR. If they want to commit genocide, there’ll be lot’s of people left in Gaza City. Like I genuinely can’t come up with something that makes sense for why they would do this, other than they might think that there are maybe militants in that convoy? But that’s still overkill and not worth the cost. Maybe they want to scare people into not leaving the city, and then say they gave them the option but they didn’t leave?
Drones aren’t the be-all and end-all, especially at this stage in the war. They can cause a lot of damage but countermeasures are being used more and more and you can’t win a war with just drones.
