The staunchly atheist government of the USSR killed off tens of millions of people, too.

I saw a marketing blurb for the 2026 Nissan Leaf. They are also going with flush handles (hopefully a safer design) and claimed it for reduced drag to increase range. But, market, so could be just short of an outright lie.

Not if we aren’t American.

While that is the ideal, it hasn’t been true in practice for a couple decades, at least. Due process was negated by basically saying an incantation during arrest due to the PATRIOT Act (“this crime was an act of terrorism”). Edward Snowden sacrificed his freedom to make everyone aware that the Fourth Amendment was being ignored by the NSA for pretty much anyone who knew someone who wasn’t an American, and they later got rid of even that pretense. Now it’s the First Amendment which has had an asterisk added, noting Americans only, and people still have the audacity to act surprised.

I would have guessed her to be older than him, but at least part of that is the benefits of wealth on your physical health that she, as a regular person, wouldn’t have had. Not that her being older than him is a big deal to me, anyway. Keanu has been through some shit and deserves some happiness in his life. I hope that includes her.

I may have to start doing this. I’ve subscribed to enough that I see enough to keep me occupied, and if I don’t I go to All and add anything that I find particularly interesting. This mean I miss new things I might really enjoy unless I’m not as occupied with my current subscription list. This could be better.

But it’s always concerning when foreign material crosses the blood-brain barrier. It may not be a problem, but as far as I’ve seen, it wasn’t even a consideration a decade ago.

There is plenty of information on !selfhosted@lemmy.world and !homeassistant@lemmy.world if you’re looking for more than the most basic motion- or remote-controlled light switches.

I’d far rather have a dumb TV/monitor and a cheap, easily upgradable smart device connected to it, but I’m on Lemmy so that shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Some Canadians are bothered (I’m indifferent), but i think it’s more on a moral level rather than from a personal or immediate impact.

1.2m.

I’ve replaced it with a death grip on my will to live and a sardonic attitude toward all the bullshit I’ll have to deal with while I’m at work. It’s the only way to make it through and still have a functioning liver.

How different is it than ladybugs and aphids, except for we (think we) have the will to do better than our nature demands? Also, I think I made it pretty clear that I don’t think that stance does our species credit. But I would say the outcome is very natural, even if natural isn’t exactly desirable.

If you consider people as part of the natural order, then it is in fact natural selection. This isn’t a commendation of our place in nature.

I was more pissed off when I saw this 2 months ago, less so when I saw it again last month. I’m not saying it shouldn’t be posted, but this is a repost and old news. At least highlight the date in the submission.

Somaetimes gaining knowledge doesn’t improve your life.

To add to this. I’ve only noticed one person who had cochlear implants, and only really noticed because she also had a speech impediment (then I noticed the “hearing aids” that didn’t look like most hearing aids). Her hair partially covered them and I wouldn’t have noticed at all if I hadn’t been interacting with her.

I do notice more hearing aids and such these days, possibly because I’m getting older and am aware of what my near future holds. I don’t think most people will care too much.

I think the biggest problem with thos approach is custo.ers could potentially pay less to get what they want, and thats taking profits away from the company. Why would they want that?

But likewise, while Canadians are able to deal with this terrain, out southern 200 km is very similar to America’s northern 200 km, and a lot of us sound and look like a lot of you. Infiltrating America and attacking domestically would be easier for Canadians than just about any other country.

I do the majority of Steam browsing on my deck, with much of the rest being following links in Lemmy, etc. on my phone. I also expect I’m not their typical user.
