  Good thing the world didn’t lose anything valuable.

  Paradox seems to be proving that they are no longer capable of developing video games.

  Plus it is recycled. They would only replace what is lost due to evaporation or after a drain and cleaning.

  How many of those farmers do you think voted in favor of Brexit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World’s population to fall for first time since the Black Death⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not really about who gets to reproduce, it’s about infant mortality.

  Pre-1900 there were just around a billion people, yet it was very common to have 7-10 children. Most didn’t make it to reproductive age, so the population wasn’t growing at that same rate.

  Now infant mortality is low, very low in developed countries, yet it is still common to have 4-6 children. Nearly all of whom will reproduce.

  Realisticly, no one needs more than one children. Two would be generous. More than two is excessive.

  That second part isn’t really true. Many cars now have cellular modems in them to provide WiFi and infotainment features. That means there is already a remote access capability in those vehicles. Disabling a modern vehicle with software is easy enough as the spark is controlled by the cars computer. So having a built-in feature to allow a remote actor to limit or disable the vehicle’s spark isn’t a big leap.

  Luckily, most articles still mention Twitter because X is such a stupid fucking name. So I bet blocking on the word Twitter would still remove 90%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube TV urged to drop '$600 less than cable' ad claim⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I had YouTube TV from the beginning. $14/mo. Great deal. It had everything we needed, mainly local broadcast stations plus the major basic cable channels, to supplement our streaming services. Then they kept adding and adding, raising the price each time. I finally looked at what I was paying last month, $80. My son had one show he watched on ABC and I would record football in the NFL season. Not worth $80/mo. Too bad. I would really like that $14/mo service again. It was all I needed.
