All the people I know with EVs charge theirs from their home solar panels. I’m pretty sure if we properly subsidized home solar, that would be the case for many people (there’s already a surprising amount of home solar here in the Southwest, and not just in wealthy neighborhood either). That’s one of the reasons I’m…

I’m playing BotW for the first time right now, but when I started it, I actually had no idea TotK would be coming out so soon - for some reason, I thought it was going to be a fall release.

I don’t think it’s a moral issue - as long as you aren’t hurting anyone that isn’t you, go nuts. It is pretty gross, though, which I’m sure is why she did it: attention and publicity.

It’s more that the companies want to guilt you into paying their employees over and above what you are already being charged. It lets them pretend they are charging less than they actually are. Sort of how your cable bill of ostensibly $50 ends up being closer to $80 after various hidden fees and charges.

Nope, nope, nope. If you want better pay, get your company to pay you better. Tipping, everywhere else in the world, is not intended as a guaranteed part of your pay, but as a reward for good service *in addition* to your pay. That’s the whole point. Tips are not part of your regular income, and you don’t depend on…

Not knowing the solution doesn’t stop you from identifying a bad one. I didn’t say the strikes didn’t work - it worked, but literally hundreds of thousands lost their jobs in the process, just to get better terms for a few thousand.

That’s the question, isn't it? But potentially getting hundreds of thousands of people laid off to help out a couple thousand definitely isn't it.

The WGA has a voting body of a little over 9,000 writers - during the last strike, several HUNDRED THOUSAND production staff ended up getting laid off.

This must really suck for all the non-writing staff working on these shows. The big actors and such can probably afford it, but for the rest (set builders, stylists, and all the other people working behind the scenes), they generally just end up getting laid off, and get zero benefit regardless which way negotiate end …

This is what happens when you get people with no knowledge of the field to make big decisions over it. I’m sure these folks know the law itself pretty well, but they probably wouldn’t recognize an Xbox in a lineup of toasters. And, just like I don’t call my plumber for dental work, you want something like this to be…

This happens surprisingly often in real life, good parent (or family member) or not. It's easy to say (and even think) that you'd donate one of your organs to them if they ever need them, but when the time actually comes, quite a few people end up freaking out and going back on their word. On the other hand, when my…

Diablo and Diablo 2 played basically identically - the sequel was basically just a more complex version of the original, and probably in line with their original vision that they had to cut back on because of technical and financial limitations at the time. Even Diablo 3 was still more evolutionary than revolutionary,…

And aside from some minor differences, a chimp is genetically almost human. Those are some important differences. 

I loved the first two Diablo games so much, but literally everything about this sounds tailor-made for me to hate. Basically, 'World of Diablo'.

“Involuntary”

And that's really saying something these days, sadly.

I never understood why people who are so upset by “whitewashing” seem to have absolutely zero issue when it’s any other racial group. It’s ok to make Greek- descendants black, or white characters Hispanic, or pretend that ancient Europe was as racially diverse as the modern US. And the worst part about it is that many…

My mom lives in Arizona, and there are several bobcats that routinely wander her neighborhood. She lives right by a large nature area, and all her neighbors love to feed birds, so it's basically an all you can eat buffet for them.

I think they mean "highest" as in really, really high on drugs.

I really hate that the US legal system lets people and corporations just buy their way out of any legal troubles they run into. It's essentially legalized bribery🤬🤬🤬
