It was by no means just Conservatives who were opposed to this policy. It’s an absolute terrible policy, that people from all over the spectrum were opposed to. The policy said that PayPal, at it’s sole discretion, could take $2,500 from someone if they deemed that person spread mis-information. And it’s not like…

Fandom sites are not a good measure of the general population. Battle of Five Armies, which I would say is the worst of the trilogy, has a 74% Audience Score.

Your link which is supposed to be backing up that the original form of the rhyme was racist makes no mention of the rhyme at all. It’s really disingenuous to assert claims, and insert links which you are pretending back up your claims, which aren’t anything of the sort.

The EU banned single use plastic bags on July 2, 2021. That’s a short decade.

My wife and I rib each other a lot- but never about something the other person is actually sensitive or has any self doubt about.

The “in the matters of taste” was not part of the original phrase, it has been added later. It was popularized at a different time- when it was more common that customer service was really poor. It was on contrast to “caveat emptor”.

There is no way replacing a functioning, already existing gas stove with a brand new electric stove is a net benefit to the environment.

A company plans on opening a drive in movie theater, with a retro theme.

I’m not big on smart home stuff, but I do stand by smart thermostats as perhaps the best “smart” appliance. But only if it’s actually smart enough.

If you’re in a gym, there is practical reason to lift before cardio- you get less sweat on the lifting equipment. Generally cardio will make you a lot sweatier than lifting, so it’s nice to not spread that everywhere.

It’s true- if the army of the government is willing to go on all out warfare against the population, the second amendment won’t do crap. However, that is an unlikely outcome.

Actually, the amount after taxes isn’t as important, because lottery losses are tax deductible.

No, it’s not. Mathematicians talk about it. Any combination is equally likely to win (well, equally likely to lose is perhaps a better way of putting it), so you want to pick a number that’s less likely to be picked by anyone else, so that you don’t have to share.

What do they benefit from not showing what ads Facebook approved? I don’t doubt their findings, but I am curious what sort of things Facebook approved.

It’s funny that the article is complaining about how “flying used to be nice, but now they’re charging you for everything. Finally an airline doing it right!” just to talk about an airline that will let you pay to rent a bed for four hours. And just because it’s called “economy” I have no doubt it will be quite…

Host provides meat, chips and enough beer to get the party started. Guests bring the sides and the rest of the required beer.

I eat lunch at my desk to have my work life balance.

I’ll counter and say- I want more movies where the characters don’t fall in love. Show me healthy friendships between two boys, a boy and a girl, two girls, two adult men, etc. Non-Romantic friendships have plenty of avenues to explore, and I don’t feel the need to ‘ship’ every two close friends.

No, that doesn’t impact my point at all.

I know Gizmodo really wants to paint Tesla (and any other Musk company) in the worst light possible, but this is shoddy reporting, even by blog standards.
