Placebo effect?
Maybe you got a touch of food poisoning one of the first times and now you subconsciously associate it with date nights?

By sacrificing emissions.
You can get more power per stroke if you don’t care about emissions, and that can get you a better fuel economy, but you may fail your local e-check if it’s tuned.

Volkswagen got in trouble for designing their cars to change the engine tuning when it detected it was connected to a testing rig.

If it were supposed to be pronounced “jif” it would have been spelled that way, I don’t give two fucks what Stephen Wilhite said about it either.

The “superior OS” is whichever one meets the users needs the best.
For most people Windows works just fine because a PC is an appliance to them, and an important feature of an appliance is simplicity for the user.
But for others Linux works better, especially if you want to do anything server related

V for Vendetta was very popular when it came out and I think most of us would recognize the mask.

So you’ll know it’s supposed to be funny.
If you’ve ever watched the the videos of the Big Bang Theory sitcom with the laugh tracks removed, you’ll notice it feels a lot more like a group of people being shitty and verbally abusive towards each other and it’s not all that funny without being told to laugh.
Why go through the trouble of writing an actual funny dialogue when you can just tell the viewers it’s funny and they’ll laugh?

World war II wasn’t called “world war II” until 1944, future events will dictate weather we’re already living in the early war.
There are Russian, North Korean, and Iranian troops fighting in Ukraine
There’s conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine
China is playing a game of brinkmanship with Taiwan and The Philippines.
If things heat up, future historians may place the beginning of world war 3 on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Accidentally replied instead of editing to fix a mistake. Disregard comment.

I think that the great filter/fermi paradox is a combination of two facts,

1. Our entire radio output (the only example we have to go by) is pitiful compared to the sun, like a candle in front of a flood light, you’ll only be able to see it so far before it’s completely drowned out. After a few dozen light years our radio output is less than the margin of error of a stars detectable radio output.
2. As a civilization advances it must reduce radio leakage. As data gets more important, it gets more important that you’re not wasting energy moving it around. Narrow beamed radio transmission becomes the norm and even less radio signals escape the system than when radio was messy and overpowered.

They’re not missing or gone, they’ve just moved beyond messy radio signals. Even we tightened up our radio emissions in a little over a century. Most of what we watch or listen to comes to us via fiber, cable, or short range transmissions like cell phone towers and Wi-Fi.

I don’t.
I don’t have kids, I work 40hrs a week, I don’t buy little things I want because there’s a few “big” things I want that’ll I’ll need about $800 for.
I make it almost paycheck to paycheck and it will take me at least 6 months to save $800 if I buy nothing else.

Low risk ≠ No risk

Are you retarded?
Anti-vax people depend on heard immunity bullshit. My argument is that not enough people are getting vaccinated and you think that means I’m Anti-vax?
Jesus Christ I’m glad stupid isn’t contagious.
Get fucked asswipe.

The unvaccinated people become mutation factories and create new variants that we don’t have a vaccine for yet, that’s why you need a booster every year.
If you’re vaccinated and surrounded by unvaccinated people. You may as well be unvaccinated.

They were facing life or death and they chose horse dewormer…

That’s unfortunately not how it works.
The unvaccinated people become mutation factories and create new variants that we don’t have a vaccine for yet, that’s why you need a booster every year.

Covid had a ~5% mortality rate at the peak, H5N1 has a mortality rate of ~56%, a damper won’t be enough

Vaccines don’t work when 1/2 the population refuses to take it.

I don’t, sites like this are they best when their a hidden corner of the internet

It’ll harass you to activate it indefinitely but Microsoft has a policy that they’d rather have people steal their operating system than pay for someone else’s, so ultimately that’s it. It’ll just annoy you.

Trump isn’t fit for a Waffle House, let alone the White House.
