I don’t think my adblocker cares what kind of ads they’re trying to show me. If anything their algorithms will just get confused for why this guy who used to be here hours every day now only comes to watch war videos once a day but no longer comments or upvotes anything.

Hue lights also works from the light switch just like a normal bulb.

What are you saying?

People here mostly seem to vote on basis of who they think the commenter is - not what they’re saying.

Solid Explorer but it’s not like I’ve tried all the others too. It’s what I always go to and it has served me good.

What in my message indicates to you that I didn’t read it?

It’s easy to say as someone with a healthy brain. A blind, deaf or a paralyzed person might feel different once there truly is a way to get your sight back with this technology.

I wonder what you guys thought animal testing is about, if this is somehow surprising to you. This is just another day at the office for the people running these experiments. The issue is not “Elon doing animal testing” but animal testing in itself.

However - if you think we shouldn’t do it then you should also be aware of the tradeoffs. Without this cruelty there’s no modern medicine either. Also, if you complain about this but eat meat then you’re a hypocrite.

Back in the days only people with a strong will to survive did, infact, survive and the genes from those people are in all of us. Many like to pretend they don’t posses these features but that’s only because you’re living a modern comfortable life, so you never need to rely on it. Especially compared to what it would’ve been 10k years ago.

You can take any modern man, and put him along with his family in a house and place an angry stranger pounding at the door shouting threats at his wife and kids and you’ll soon discover the violence you just thought wasn’t there.

If nothing else, they would’ve faced the same limitations with battery capacity as we are today.

Advanced tip is to remove the derailleur hanger and see against a flat surface wether it’s straight or not. If not, and you don’t have the calibration tool then just clamp it on a vice and use hammer/pliers/crecent wrench to bend it back straight. It’s not going to be perfect but since it’s already bent you’re probably not going to make it worse either.

Economics is one of those subjects where the more you undestand the less you feel like you do. I can barely wrap my mind around index funds and compounding interests.

When adjusting bicycle derailleur, use the second smallest and second largest cogs to adjust the shifting and the biggest and smallest ones only to adjust the limit screws. There’s no point adjusting the cable tension if your derailleur is resting against the limit screw.

Well, my response wasn’t directed at the original question but rather your comment on it. What I’m trying to say here, is that even if there is a God with a well-defined set of absolute moral principles, if He chooses not to disclose them to us clearly, it then shouldn’t be a source of concern either. Trying to figure out something that can’t be known is a fool’s errand. Instead, we should rather focus on finding out what constitutes a good life from our human perspective and strive to live accordingly. If, in the end, it turns out that actions like a gay marriage lead to condemnation, then it frankly just raises questions about the fairness of a God who hasn’t been more clear about such important matters.

It’s a bad analogy, but my argument isn’t against our search of greater morality. Rather, it’s about the relevance of God in that pursuit. Morality is a challenge that we, as humans, must figure out by ourselves. Even if there exists an all-knowing God with a specific set of moral rules in mind, if we cannot know/understand them, and God chooses not to reveal them, then, by definition, those rules are inaccessible to us. In such a scenario, morality as defined by God becomes irrelevant to our human experience. Instead, we should rely on reason, science, and evidence-based research to find what behaviour promotes the thriving of our species.

I’m a plumber. Just let it slide this time, okay?

Sure, but since nobody can know the will of God, then why does that even have to be taken into account? Isn’t it like trying to do math, but you don’t know and can’t know what X is? You just got to find your way by some other means and forget X ever even existed.

I didn’t know such feature even existed

Isn’t the will of God basically irrelevant, since no other than the God themselve can know it?

I wonder that about quite many things. I feel like I’m not in the target audience for almost anything new.

I mean there’s not even anything particularly wrong about that stuff. It’s just that I only have so many hours in a day, and there’s plenty interesting content out there for my niche interests, so I don’t want to spend it watching some braind numbing entertainment that’s mostly directed at the “masses”
