The second paragraph of that summary was nothing less than an assault upon the English language.
I haven't seen such pure bloviating drivel as "It seems to have been drawn improvisationally with a brush, and yet it's so hefty it looks like it could slip off a wall. It's both delicate and emphatic, a casual paradox, like a Nerf weapon." or "But even here Choc remains clear and articulate, its voice deep and friendly, its accent foreign, perhaps, yet endearing. You've already seen it, probably repeatedly, like a stranger you recognize from your morning commute." since the last time I suffered through a trendy art show.
Logitech's build quality is pure shit though. The keycaps on my G710+ started breaking after a mere two months of use, and the fucking PCB delaminated on me after a couple years. If you check amazon reviews lots of people report the same keycap issues, and Logitech demands you send in the WHOLE KEYBOARD for "repairs" to replace busted keycaps. So shit build quality and tard-tier customer service on top.
I switched to a Ducky One 2 about half a year ago and have been FAR more satisfied with it. It has standard keycaps, so if they start to go bad on me (and not one has failed yet) they're easier to replace than Logitech's non-standard sizes. I've also not heard of anyone experiencing complete board failures after a couple years with Ducky's stuff. The only flaw I can really come up with is that the English translation in the manual is really bad.
"The US provides about 9% of the funding for ITER, nowhere near half."
The person you replied to didn't claim the US provided half the funding, but that their removal of their funding caused half the project to shut down. Having a project lose almost 10% of their promised funding can shut down more than 10% of it. In some cases it can shut down 100% of it
Well, it depends on your political viewpoints, but he has a little something for everyone.
He's vocally atheist, which means his mere existence offends the invisible sky wizard worshippers.
He's especially critical of Islam, which enrages leftshits crying about muh Islamophobia.
He's anti-Brexit, which makes many a right-winger angrily slam their keyboards in their moms' basements.
He's anti-feminist and was involved in Gamergate, which caused many a hipster's manties to mysteriously twist.
He debunks scientifically unsound ideas, which makes their proponents (often of a "green energy" or other "green" ilk) cry into their organic free-trade soy lattes.
Thundef00t has also shit all over various dehumidifier scams in youtube rants. Water from thin air is not feasible in the locations where it is needed. Arid regions have, wait-for-it, not enough water in the air.
Well, for those who may not actually know about it, the US government (and in some cases also corporations!) has meddled in the elections of every single country in Central and South America. Every last one. They've also off the top of my head meddled in German, Iranian, French, and pretty much all of the Soviet bloc states elections.
So did they meddle in Russia? You bet your sweet caboose they did. I'd be willing to bet there isn't a country on earth whose elections the US hasn't meddled in, unless of course it's one that has no elections with which to meddle.
The title pretty much sums it up, Ellen Pao trying to shit on other social media CEOs is possibly the most hypocritical thing I've ever seen. She is not only part of the problem but a prime source of it.
And the point you're missing here is that environmental regulations here have fuckall effect on China, and are thus essentially useless past a certain point.
Also, by decreasing trade with China, by your own logic, we'd be improving the environment. Who's threatening a tariff battle with China that would decrease trade? El Trumpo, baby.
You mean like his more than one viable version of any given website? Ones with similar reach, similar amounts of people he knows and connects with, similar ease of use, and similar marketing ability?
Opera is shit. It used to be the best browser around, until they ditched their engine and internals to become a chrome-clone. Once upon a time it was innovative and full of awesome features that other browsers didn't have, but they just... gave it all up.
If I want Chrome I'll use Chrome. If I want it open sourced I'll use Chromium. There's no need or desire for the festering reminder of a once great browser.
Unfortunately, all the substitutes that are made to mimic meat well are currently far pricier than actual meat. I tried a sample of a Beyond Burger a while back and it was pretty good, but on the shelf it was like 4 times the price of actual ground beef. That ain't gonna work too well. A plant based burger should cost LESS than the real thing.
Well, if the value of gold mirrors the markets, it's still a solid emergency investment due to it's inherent physicality and reasonably universal recognition of value.
Shit would have to get really really really bad before stockpiling emergency gold would be a bad idea. Like, civilization ceasing to exist bad.
You think one party consent laws are shitty? Report back after you've been prosecuted for recording a verbal contract a motherfucker tried to skip out on.
One party consent, despite its downsides, is still superior to two party consent laws.
Guess what? Guns help prevent crime more than they cause it. And we're not talking about indirect deterrence here where knowing a populace is armed keeps potential criminals scared. We're only talking about direct defensive uses of firearms.

That's not fair, they also make some damned fine movies over there.

Congregation does not erect copulation.
But they can keep their overpriced VPN ads to themselves.
Also, ProtonVPN charges their customers $8/month, so the summary is wrong.

Improved does not equal fixed. .00000001% of a fix is an improvement over 0. It's also shit useless.

No, no, no, it's like taxes. Paying taxes is voluntary, but citizens who choose not to just won't be allowed to reside outside of a prison.
Worse than that, Canada has VOTER ID!!!
Yes, that's the general idea.

You're aware that we separate American children from their American criminal parents all the damn time right?
If they aren't more skilled, why are diversity hiring practices divergent from meritocratic ones?
Well, I already refuted you above, but I'll link to the study again anyway. https://www.nap.edu/read/18319...
The majority of guns used at the time of arrest "came from family or friends, drug dealers, street purchases, or the underground market."
Note that gun shows are not listed there, nor are failures to properly check backgrounds.
And letting anyone who applies and is not objected to by the government have a permit is not a loophole, it is the intended function.
And yet the CDC did exactly that research. https://www.nap.edu/read/18319...
Guess what? Guns help prevent crime more than they cause it. And we're not talking about indirect deterrence here where knowing a populace is armed keeps potential criminals scared. We're only talking about direct defensive uses of firearms.
