What services and platform you mean, Alexa?

for bezos, ring and wapo. aws is fine because it's just commerce, you give him money in exchange for services. fair and sqaure. but he's hardly the only billionaire-villain out there. musk with his "X" i'm pretty sure he engineered the downfall of america on his own, and people didn't bat an eye as he was allowed to fire government employees and access government data of all americans so he can use his platforms to manipulate society further. Zuck, hardly needs explanation. larry ellison and his paramount efforts to take over warner bros and control half the media in the country because half the movies/shows isn't enough. it's endless. fox news, every local news station is owned by one billionaire dynasty. We're practically a feudal society now.

> people didn't bat an eye as he was allowed to fire government employees

I do not think that is true!


should have said most people, because that's true. it's the dire state of things. even now only 49% disapprove of the current admin, after seeing their own country men shot while protesting, little kids born in the US kidnapped and sent to foreign countries. if you think those 51% of people cared about government employees getting fired or allies being alienated, you'd be mistaken.

That’s what oh-my-open-code does.

Nirvana and Radiohead do not sing as entire band like barbershop trio/quintet. Their singers have names.

They didn't?? Jokes aside. You're right. I'll update immed.

The iPhone Lockdown feature- press power button 5 time to activate.

Who else reading the headline thought it’s about 100 year old lobster that died?


Lol me too


“WD-40 performs worse than oils” because WD-40 is not an oil, it’s not even a lubricant. It’s a water protector. many make mistake using WD40 for lubricating everything because it’s mainly for water related applications. There are flavours of WD40 that are more “oil”.


A coworker was asking if someone had some WD40 they could bring in because his chair was squeaking. "I do, but I'll bring in something else for your chair." Another coworker asked "Are you one of those guys that believes WD40 isn't a lubricant?" to which I answered "Absolutely."


WD40 is absolutely a lubricant (water is a lubricant even), but a poor one


And when the WD40 you sprayed dries out, and it will, all that is left are sharp little crystals, and these are the source of future squeaking.


In artillery and similar massive pressure applications are used chlorine based lubricants. These have the ultimate performance as the chlorine firmly attaches to the metal, but it also destroys the surface immediately (which is not a problem in an one shot application). Would you argue that these are not lubricants because of that?


That does not make WD40 a non lubricant, but a poor lubricant. It does lubricate moderately for a small period of time.


What did you use instead of wd40?


I brought in some spray lithium grease and he was happy with the results.


Thank you very much.


Did you tell them that you have a particular set of… tags?


Where do they find all those people who help people? Try to write article about someone who has nobody and nobody cares.. no story in that.


Even more hypocrisy:- if you have Proton Unlimited subscription, Lumo AI will be limited, not remembering conversations. And when it’s promoting you to upgrade, mentions in the same message that your Lumo is limited while you have Unlimited subscription.


I’m not sure it’s quite fair to call this hypocrisy. Lumo was introduced separately after the Proton Unlimited subscription, and it was never claimed to be included in Unlimited (they also have a handful of other products like Standard Notes that are not included)


Of course it’s cultural, they have to compete with thousands people just like them in environment where human life is cheap and anyone is replaceable. Any authority have huge weight, which comes from historical system how society is separated. And then any education they receive assumes cheating at exams, then cheat with CV, then cheat with work they do. It’s all about appearances.


Maybe. I have hated crowds all my life. I can always see filth in people. I have helped people cheating at interviews. I want to vomit everytime somebody asks me to make a CV. Vomit in the sense I genuinely hate overselling myself but if I don't, I just don't. And what I'm open if you want to ask any question about me?
