I mean, if it decreases rates of sexual abuse I'm all for it.

It's an old reference to a copy-pasta where someone accidentally opens NSFW martial on a train and everyone ends up compulsively masturbating.

You can use your hands to count in base 12 if you want to, and some cultures have done so. Just use the segments on your fingers on one hand, using your thumb to count each segment.

Sixteen times as much compared to 1080, four times as much compared to 4K.

It's got that cinematic feel, bro.

Yeah, I love when the camera pans slowly and everything is a blurry mess. Pure cinematic excellence.

Dude got denied once for saying "I want a lawyer, dog." The courts upheld the he might have been referring to a dog that is a lawyer.

How much money you got for computer? But also, there's plenty of games that don't need a card.

Yep mine too after only a couple years. I knew it was going to be a problem when I bought the phone, but I do like the true black....

The current situation in the US is that private industry builds and runs the reactors, but the federal government has promised to take care of the waste. So either the breeder reactor needs to be commercially viable, or the government needs to run the reactor and push in on private sector businesses. I'm not sure which would be more difficult to achieve, honestly.

You can reprocess then and run them through breeder reactors, but no one has proven you can make money doing it.

That biggest reason no one has permanent storage sites is political. There will always be loud protests at any proposed site.

 

Ecosia is a German search engine company which donates 80% of its revenue to planting trees. They take Bing, reskin it, and spend the profits from advertising on planting trees. They're up to about 175,000,000 trees so far.

Edit: This is just a convenient way to turn something you do every day (use a search engine) into a force for good. It's a slow process, 1 tree ≈ 45 searches, but you were going to make those searches anyway, might as well plant trees! Think of it as the digital equivalent of buying local food.

 

A court used an app called Covenant Eyes to surveil the family of an Indiana man released on bond. Now he’s back in jail, and tech misuse may be to blame. The app flagged one of the family's devices as having accessed Pornhub even though it didn't, and this was the only evidence used to throw the man back in jail. They didn't even try to prove he was the one who caused the app to flag Pornhub as visited, they just assumed it was him. The article contains multiple levels of "oh my god our system is messed up."
