Hmm that is kinda my point for my uses it does suck more than enough ;) but then we don't have any carpets except carpeting on stairs and it's charge is more than enough for that on max power.

If I had carpets in the house I think I would get corded as well. But why have carpets is a better question.

I wonder about this, I heard same claim before. I however owned 2 of them over the last 5 years(moved a country and did not bring first one). Fact that I bought the second one kinda tells the story.

Honest I never had any issue with them.. maybe if you have a huge house? Or really thick carpets. I find it incredibly convenient and it works well enough, convenient means you can use it every day and do not need to get through that barrier of getting something out of the closet. I have the charging station mounted next to the fridge and honestly I will never buy another kind of vacuum.

Let me help you expand your knowledge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_baseball_shootin...

With how the inflation is going they might be right

Because it has nothing to do with it. Explanation is a fig leaf. Check White house videos and see the real reason

There is a massive pool of engineers that if payed FAANG*1.1 salary would work on anything. As long as they set salaries correctly they will not have any issues recruiting talent.

You also seriously underestimate number of people pissed off about having spout the latest woke tropes to continue being employed at FAANG, those will go for much lower rate.

This is good

“The Speaker has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions," said the spokesperson.

People did not fear having kids in the middle of world wars, famines, genocides etc. My guess it is not fear of climate crisis but fear of responsibility + desire to spend money on themselves + ability to choose due to contraceptives.

Is it not interesting that we are witnessing the biggest selection filter/pressure in human population since smallpox and black death? It is not purely genetic this time though, there is a huge cultural component, societies that do not breed do not survive.

Yes. I meant if you do not do that.

They get divorced far before that.

I tried it after our second kid was born. Highly not recommended. Get back to work and make the $$

You basically have 3 choices then: 1. Hire a full time nanny 2. Have grandparents act as 1 3. Go fucking mental

Source of $$ is now at home what to do what to do..

Dynamic is very interesting and is not at all limited to boomer generation. Most of the time neither spouse has any concept of what the other actually does day to day. You can ask a wife and she will say that he works for EPSON and is engineer, further question as to what sort of engineer or what is he working on or anything else will be just blank stare.

It is like separation of concern principle but applies to marriage and family. Works great some times and some times not so much

The current talking points I assume. The zero cost joke did not work so this the new spiel? It is amazing that these primitive propaganda tricks work on so many otherwise smart people here.

Nobody except Japan maybe UK and Australia is likely to do anything.

US itself is likely to turn tail and run if attack in not nuclear. Nuclear attack might inject some spine into response.

FB lied to their own board about this, it is in the article

You are surprised that after blatantly lying for years the truth came out?

I mean unless you are the 5th directorate of KGB.. but even then shit like this always comes out.

“ It would assert that the most important difference between the races is racism, with its origins in the horrific institution of slavery only a very few generations ago.” - Ignorance of the world history in this statement is pretty incredible.

Unless you are about to die in the next month imaging can take month.. there is a reason why there was a pile of clinics in Buffalo that used to cater to Canadians. You drive across get your CT done get a CD then drive back. Alternatively you wait 2 month. Now you are just fucked

Or you can “know” people then you can get it done tomorrow.

You are under impression that your skill in fixing things is free. Vast majority of people can not change break pads, can not understand a youtube video explaining how, can not oil a chain, can not fix a flat. Ability to problem solve and fix things is how a trade person of handyman can make very good money, as even using a stud finder and putting a screw in the wall is arcane magic to lots of people.

This is tragic but this is current state of western civilization. Bring Shop back to school.

Problem is that you can dissolve the current state, but new one will always arise after a period of epic blood letting. It is like a business cycle it seems. From chaos to some sort of order and freedom from daily threat of brutal death, to crystallization into a monstrosity, to fall and repeat.

There are few example of states that lasted for some time without a regular civil war and mountains of corpses. US is one of them having only had one mountain of dead civil war in 2 hundred plus years. However it seems to approach crystallization state. Try opening a business in place like SF and NYC to see the final form of the monster. Nothing can be abolished and state just grows till the what was a necessity becomes a parasite.

Curious how alphabet went all in with censoring republicans. I guess the idea is that R is never going to be in power again, this is either really idiotic or they know something we don’t.

As it is first order of business for a republican President/senate should be ending Alpahabet and Facebook by any means necessary

Problem is two fold, one is that part in power can use variety of methods to coerce platforms to do their bidding. This is not a supposition this has been going on all over the world for a while. For all practical purposes FB and twitter act as an arm of US government when it comes to COVID, remember when you would get insta banned for suggesting that maybe maybe virus that arose 10 mins away from a lab where they used to work on viruses like that might, could maybe somehow be related to the said lab?

Second is that platforms themselves now have massive political power. Twitter or FB can easily suppress any fact or opinion it does not like(see Twitter and Biden's crackhead of a son), it can also easily trade ability to suppress for political favours.

In a society as divided as US is right now it is inevitable that they take the 51% side to suppress the 49% side. Result will be a bloody a mess.

There is no solution to it either, shit is in full flight towards the proverbial fan.

The fuck up was not riders most likely but DS. Someone did not bother to look at the damn TV and count people in the break and who they were.. someone did not communicate this absolutely crucial info to whoever was the Dutch road captain. Did they not have a system of when to go to the DS car?? I mean you get food and water there lol How?

It is a fuckup of astronomical proportions. Break wins all the time but I can’t think of a single race that I seen where Peloton did not realize that there was someone up the road. They had A LOT of time to catch her, they could easily do it. Yet they blew it

Most of the karate schools in US are just after school daycare for kids.

There are good clubs, but you have to research them. Most Kyokushin clubs will teach you quite a bit

Foundation of modern karate was in the era when every boy in Japan did Judo in school. Every accomplished karate teacher at the time also was a decent judoka. For example Oyama who founded Kyokushin was a great grappler, many Natinal level judoka also trained karate.

You have to train grappling or you might as well not bother training at all.

My take on it was that we are not so far removed from witchdoctors when it comes to medicine then we would like to believe. Hard data on efficiency and performance of human doctors is very far from hard and their ability to diagnose things that are not blatantly obvious and are bout to kill you dead unless you get lucky and surgery works or chemo works(or does not and we have no clue why) is very limited.

There is a huge amount of we want to believe.. and survivor bias going on in cancer treatment. Lot's of it is very harmful as well.

Few years back I contracted for an AI startup, long story short we ran a simple test of one anotator radiologist with 15years of experience to another(similar amount of experience) over 50 or so CT scans. They agreed on about 60% of the time lol and I mean easily spot table size “things” that were annotated as potentially malignant nodules or “not at all because they were “scars”.

That’s when I knew we did not wtf we were doing.

Defending their homes? So you must be on the side of Israeli civilians at whome Hamas is salvo firing rockets.

Or if you are on the side of Hamas should Twitter remove all the Iron Dome videos showing interception of rockets deliberately fired at civilians by Hamas?

Impressive I would have quite maybe a month into this debacle.

Did they manage to setup a tribunal and a committee of public safety?

6 month salary? They would be foolish no to do it. I am not sure what the management was thinking when they offered this much of a buyout. 1 month 2 tops

It’s the trashed/smouldering streets, riots, CHAZ. Optics are very bad. For a country that went through what China did this sort of internal unrest is an indicator of massive weakness. I am not even sure they are wrong. If they had naval lift capacity they could probably land on Taiwan and US government would do nothing.

We will see what happens in US as weather warms up.
