I don’t think my adblocker cares what kind of ads they’re trying to show me. If anything their algorithms will just get confused for why this guy who used to be here hours every day now only comes to watch war videos once a day but no longer comments or upvotes anything.

Hue lights also works from the light switch just like a normal bulb.

What are you saying?

Why even bother responding to me if, instead of addressing what exactly you take issue with in my statement, you just immediately resort to insults?

The only times I see people like me, who prefer owning a car “shouting down” people adcovating for better public transport, is when people suggest I should get rid of my car and ride a bus instead. A good public transportation system is a net-good for everyone, and in no way inconveniences me especially if I never even use it. It’s not busses and trains I have an issue with - it’s the naive city dwellers who thinks that because they get around just fine without a car then anyone would.

Back in the days only people with a strong will to survive did, infact, survive and the genes from those people are in all of us. Many like to pretend they don’t posses these features but that’s only because you’re living a modern comfortable life, so you never need to rely on it. Especially compared to what it would’ve been 10k years ago.

You can take any modern man, and put him along with his family in a house and place an angry stranger pounding at the door shouting threats at his wife and kids and you’ll soon discover the violence you just thought wasn’t there.

Advanced tip is to remove the derailleur hanger and see against a flat surface wether it’s straight or not. If not, and you don’t have the calibration tool then just clamp it on a vice and use hammer/pliers/crecent wrench to bend it back straight. It’s not going to be perfect but since it’s already bent you’re probably not going to make it worse either.

Economics is one of those subjects where the more you undestand the less you feel like you do. I can barely wrap my mind around index funds and compounding interests.

When adjusting bicycle derailleur, use the second smallest and second largest cogs to adjust the shifting and the biggest and smallest ones only to adjust the limit screws. There’s no point adjusting the cable tension if your derailleur is resting against the limit screw.

Well, my response wasn’t directed at the original question but rather your comment on it. What I’m trying to say here, is that even if there is a God with a well-defined set of absolute moral principles, if He chooses not to disclose them to us clearly, it then shouldn’t be a source of concern either. Trying to figure out something that can’t be known is a fool’s errand. Instead, we should rather focus on finding out what constitutes a good life from our human perspective and strive to live accordingly. If, in the end, it turns out that actions like a gay marriage lead to condemnation, then it frankly just raises questions about the fairness of a God who hasn’t been more clear about such important matters.

It’s a bad analogy, but my argument isn’t against our search of greater morality. Rather, it’s about the relevance of God in that pursuit. Morality is a challenge that we, as humans, must figure out by ourselves. Even if there exists an all-knowing God with a specific set of moral rules in mind, if we cannot know/understand them, and God chooses not to reveal them, then, by definition, those rules are inaccessible to us. In such a scenario, morality as defined by God becomes irrelevant to our human experience. Instead, we should rely on reason, science, and evidence-based research to find what behaviour promotes the thriving of our species.

I’m a plumber. Just let it slide this time, okay?

Sure, but since nobody can know the will of God, then why does that even have to be taken into account? Isn’t it like trying to do math, but you don’t know and can’t know what X is? You just got to find your way by some other means and forget X ever even existed.

Isn’t the will of God basically irrelevant, since no other than the God themselve can know it?

I wonder that about quite many things. I feel like I’m not in the target audience for almost anything new.

I mean there’s not even anything particularly wrong about that stuff. It’s just that I only have so many hours in a day, and there’s plenty interesting content out there for my niche interests, so I don’t want to spend it watching some braind numbing entertainment that’s mostly directed at the “masses”

Is he just supposed to pay for the running of twitter out of his pocket or what? It says there they’ve lost 50% of advertisers, and are making negative profit. That isn’t sustainable. The purchase of twitter has cost him 40-something billion, and still keeps costing him even more. It’s not about just wanting more profit, but to atleast break even.

What makes you think he’s short on cash? Wealthy people don’t store their wealth in cash anyways. The money is tied to the stocks of the companies they’re running. That’s why he needed to lend the money for twitter too; he doesn’t have that kind of cash, but people are willing to borrow it to him because of his wealth.

If you just had read the article you’d see that they have lost 50% of the advertisers and are losing money. This isn’t about wanting more money just for the sake of it. No company can exist if their finances are on the negative.

He’s the wealthiest man in the world. That doesn’t mean he has a lair full of cash and just wants more. People really struggle to understand the difference between wealth and money in the bank. This isn’t about hoarding money just for the sake of it.

Don’t quote me on this but I believe his thing is what the handle says; knees over toes. It used to be considered to be bad for your joints doing exercises such as deep squats for example, but his belief is that it’s the exact opposite. He used to have really bad knees himself, and couldn’t really play basketball like he wanted to, but by doing these exercises he was able to strenghten his knees to the point they no longer cause issues for him. The main exercise he’s recommending is pulling a sled backwards. He tells about Finnish lumberjacks who used to drag logs backwards like this and how they had super strong knees.
