That would be in every thread, from the most pro-communism to the most anti-communism threads.

That’s still my favorite EU legislation. The price that is displayed must be equal (or higher, discounts are still allowed) to the price that you pay. Taxes, tips, fees, everything must be included in the price.

34, Slovenia, same story.

There’s nothing “inexpensive” about that though.

On the other hand, I recently started doing the other kind of magic with cards. That sounds really cheap, all you need is a $5 deck of Bicycle cards, some YouTube tutorials, and you’re all set. Turns out, that can be a money sink as well if you decide to go deep (or wide) enough. Still far less than MTG though.

A Windows version becomes considered “good” the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.

Can confirm, not in retail but a fully remote programmer, managers are still very often concerned that “everybody has something to do” much more than “everything gets done”.

Neverball seems far less known than the other ones, but it’s really good and has tons of levels.

That is the opposite of unpopular.

It’s a trade-off, so it depends on both how good the pay is and how opposed the company is.

I’m currently working for a crypto company, and have worked for other similar ones in the past, and these all tend to be libertarian types which I don’t agree with, but they pay well.

On the other hand, a previous employer tried to get Saudi Aramco as a client, and I made it clear that I would not support this. Fortunately those talks didn’t come anywhere.

So yes, there’s certainly a line.

Many conspiracies are true. Probably not the ones about aliens or lizard people, but certainly the ones about oil companies (and oil countries) lying and spreading propaganda.

Come on, it’s obvious why it bothers them so much. As it should, that’s extremely annoying. If the partner wants to show something, they can come over to you, not call you.

I only use it because my job mandates it. They allow us to use the same key for private stuff, but it’s just too inconvenient.

I wonder how saying that Muslims are being exploited counts as islamophobia.

I never tested it, but still wonder why nobody who wasn’t indoctrinated into it since birth doesn’t just decide to wear a burka in summer heat.

The great leap forward was such a colossal clusterfuck that you can’t blame it on any one thing (although most of them would be prevented without the authoritarianism). Literally everything was wrong. Sparrows, lysenkoism, forced collectivization (basically, and perhaps ironically, farmers not owning the means of production), Mao just being evil, backyard burners, rigid chain of command that gave the chairman absolute authority but at the same prevented him from knowing what was going on, everything.

Below 110K. That’s still at least 160K away from room temperature.

It’s available from the physics store, right next to point masses and frictionless pulleys.

if someone said there electic-lights were low, I would offer them my lamp to sun with.

Not sure if typo or a great pun, but a lamp is a good idea for someone lacking electric lights.

And if Tesla can get fully reliable self driving, it will be a game changer.

But I’m not holding my breath for either.

Every platform is nice at the start, for mainly the reason you say: people who join early have an interest in the platform, so we actually try to keep it nice.

Then every successful new platform gets its own eternal september. A large influx of people who don’t care about the platform at all, they just want to use it to talk to people. And of these, yes many are still nice people, but also many aren’t.

You see this in all kinds of communities, not just online. If you’re in a new or niche hobby, everybody there will have an interest in improving the hobby and the small community, so it will probably be very nice. When it gets mainstream (I’m looking at MTG here, but other people probably know other examples) then it starts to attract people who do nothing but complain.
