You’re not so important that you have to be two places at once and there’s no prize for being ‘most productive’ after you die.

So this is literally a slideshow that provides a list of the articles it will link to with each slide, and each subsequent slide is just a link to the article with flavor text and no actual how-to information.

Exactly. I’ve never used an induction stove, but regular electric stoves are horrible. I love not being able to tell visually how hot things are. Gas stoves are simple. You see how big the flame is & adjust appropriately.

Sure, my electric stove is really nice, but I’d rather be able to cook when the power goes out.

I don’t get why people worship him, either. He’s a vain, obese, spray-tanned multi-time business failure who very clearly isn’t anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is - if he were, he’d happily release financial records proving that, but they don’t exist. And he’s a draft dodger whose daddy bought his way out of…

this is what I’ve said from day one.  Can anyone point to a time when he “targeted” someone who pissed him off and “punished” them apart from the scattered politicians who he has threatened to “primary”?  Because like any bully, this guy only really has the power that people give him; to just about any other…

Facebook is still a business. 70m+ people voted for Trump, thats a lot of potential business (users) for Facebook to piss off.

Yeh, but on the flip side, if people are your product/customers, then it may be a bigger hit. IE, Social Network can’t work if they fall below a certain amount of people. Or at the least, it isnt as good of a product.

There is but ethics and legality frown upon such.

Similarly from a business perspective, it’s worth considering the people who are being pissed off are conservatives, who by definition and by nature are highly averse to change or new experiences. That mixed with the age demo is a recipe for people who aren’t likely to seek out a new online social network.

I bought my wife a string of black diamond bits (apparently it was made with scraps from the diamond cutting process, we had a friend who was na Antwerp diamond guy). It cost me like $600 (CAD) or so. Not cheap, but not expensive. I was in London and saw a string of black diamonds, almost identical to the one I bought…

I have Solar Panels, two small Turbines, and multifuel Generator.

They’re in good company with just about every other specialized “tradition” industry. Check out the funeral industry some time. Thousands and sometimes $10,000+ for a coffin with “comfortable” linings and fabrics, as though the dead guy will give a shit. Hell, even cremation urns are insanely marked up.

Ah, but then you’re giving up the elitist experience of being talked up by the oily retail diamond seller!

If people only knew what jewelry retailers actually pay for the stuff...

There’s literally nothing ‘rare’ about diamonds. The major suppliers are sitting on mountains of the stuff to artificially suppress supply. And they’re just compressed hunks of carbon, one of the most abundant elements in the universe. So where the idea came about that they were ‘rare’ or ‘precious’ or any of that…

You know, except for those times when it settles major lawsuits:

I write a lot for work and use it religiously. There are no good reasons to not use it and plenty of good reasons to use it. It’s also probably the second-most common change I make when editing something someone else has written, but fortunately, I’m responsible for maintaining our internal style guide, so I included…

Roku is the 800 bazillion pound gorilla in terms of TV internet streamers.

What bothers me about that bottom gif is that it is filing its paw pad, not the claw....
