If it kills you, its not “safe for human consumption” which is the defining characteristic between something edible and any random item you can stuff down your throat.
You can eat anything once. If it’s edible you can eat it more than once. Words having meanings. Yes, I am fun at parties.

There are people in prison for attempted murder that would beg to differ.
It’s not a freebie, preparation and follow through are critical to getting your one.

67 doesn’t require the horny brain that is needed for 69. It’s the same level of amusement but becuase there is no sexual connection it can be understood more widely and also cannot be shamed in silence.

There is precedence for punching them in the face. If its good enough for someone who was involved in the missions, it seems like a reasonable place to start.

That’s because you’re a terrible husband.
It’s disgusting how proud you are about the sick gratification you get from forcing that poor women to use her tiny little lady brain for your own personal amusement.
Report to 4chan before it’s too late! They’ll help you set you straight. Make sure you have nudes handy as payment for their services.

Then it doesn’t happen. Your fear is not my fear.

Would you rather they ended up with zero dollars?
Yes.
The only terms under which I could potential accept tax money being used to save a company from a collapse leading to massive layoffs, is if the resulting company is also made entirely employee owned.

When you take into account inflation and the overall market gains over that time, they absolutely did not make their money back.

- Comment on Why you can't get a signal at festivals and sports matches 3 weeks ago:
it’s because every device connected to a cell halves the bandwidth available to each device, and after something like 30-40 devices the cell is full.
I don’t know where you’re getting thsi from. There not how cells have worked since at least 3g, sort of sounds like how consumer grade WiFi hardware operates.
Towers are designed with sectors that are directional and each can support thousands of devices but those can’t handle 10k people at a stadium.
If you had bothered to read the article youd have read they are talking about how stadiums are now using distributed antenna systems (DAS), which is basically hundreds of antennas spread over the venue and fed directly into fiber. Each one is designed to handle a small section. The carriers do need to hook into the endpoint here so this isn’t something that can be setup on a whim.
I don’t see it mentioned but there are also mobile units, cellular on wheels (COWS) are common one and they really easy to spot if know to look for them. Basically a cell tower on trailer that can use microwave for the back haul for when on site fiber isn’t available.
If you end up at a venue and can’t get service it’s because the venue is too cheap to use any of these existing options. They could also be using some outdated antennas, LTE can’t handle as many connections as the new 5G stuff.

Nah, need to go straight to 9, 3x3 matrix. It’s acceptable to pause at 6 if you are budget conscious.
- Comment on Apple brings age verification to UK users in iOS 26.4 beta - Users who don’t verify their age may not be able to download or purchase apps. 3 weeks ago:
Yes. It’s all bad. The solution is to get rid of these political stooges. Dealing with capitalists is a different topic. There is some cross over with the poltical stoogery but that’s all there is.
- Comment on Apple brings age verification to UK users in iOS 26.4 beta - Users who don’t verify their age may not be able to download or purchase apps. 3 weeks ago:
Apple is doing this instead of requiring app developers to implement and maintain their own system, which is what Android is doing.
The question comes down to who trust more, any random app developer or a single entity.
For example this means meta doesn’t have to verify their iOS users because iOS already has.
I’m sure most people in this thread are coming at this all from a morally superior position about how they don’t use meta but they also don’t use iOS devices so this is another bit of outrage.
No one here is actually anything besides get upset about something that doesn’t effect them. The internet has become a silly place.
- Comment on Data centers are now hoarding SSDs as hard drive supplies dry up 3 weeks ago:
On temporary contracts and at reduced wages of course because times are tough.
Software engineers predicted this would happen. The percentage of developers that love fixing other people’s code is essentially zero, fixing ai code is even smaller.
If they require low wages, they’ll only get the worst of the worst. Expect this phase to repeat until they are forced to hire for competence and pay above market rate required to convince senior developers to deal with not just the ai mess but all the failed attempts to turn it around.
- Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 3 weeks ago:
There is a branch of battery research that is only focused on grid storage. It’s the last piece to make solar and to a less extent wind unbeatably affordable.
In a home solar setup, batteries are the other half of the cost and have not fallen as fast as the cost of the panels themselves, the other half of the cost. For fully off grid setups, they quickly become the main cost.

They behave exactly a child does when a parent forces an apology.
They have the words they’re expect to say so they do say them but they don’t undersranr why, they definitely don’t mean it and they lack the restrain to not doing whatever they apologized for over and over.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 4 weeks ago:
My criticism here isn’t about any specific group or topic. It’s about this aggravating debate pattern where rhetoric is used to paint the opponent’s argument into a morally charged form rather than addressing the actual claim being made.
That style of engagement is not something that ever leads to meaningful discussions.
A similar dynamic occurs in other highly polarized subjects where participants are more focused on signaling moral positions than resolving the underlying question.
This sort of shit has been going on since at least the times of Artistole who championed logic over emotion.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 4 weeks ago:
Arguing with vegans is like arguing with antivaxxers, they are positions based on emotions and they have their own version of reality they use to reinforce their believes. They often claim they have studies to back up their claims but the most shallow dive shows them to be bullshit.
It’s literally evident as they try to reframe this as rape. Their need to lean on rhetoric shows they have a strong basis for their believes.

- Comment on Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial 4 weeks ago:
You sound like someone who has never experienced court outside of tv or movies.
The courts process is entirely pragmatic. The entire point is to remove all emotions. The judge is not going to presume malice.
The person most at risk here is their council. It they were aware of this stunt they could cause themselves serious damage.

Go onto a court room and hold up your phone, pointing at the jury. Report back on how that goes for you.

Ignore these people. Delete kitchen and reinstall. Had this happen once and the plumbing and electrical was all messed up too, only fix was fresh install.
Definitely don’t ignore this, I heard about a guy who did and he had to reformat his entire house. Took all weekend.

Most parents who think their kids are measurable above average are the ones missing half the stupid shit their kid does.

Based on the downvotes your getting. Quite a few of the people excited for this are definitely migrating to the left of the bell curve.
Lemmy is wierd, the user base has a very inflated view of their own intelligence. For example, some will get confused and think since I’m on Lemmy I must be also guilty of this; their reasoning skills are quite terrible.
