There's plenty more.

Look at previous threads about Trump wanting to ban TikTok on hackernews and reddit.

Hamilton Khaki is probably the king of field watches at this point. Not cheap (quality wise) in the slightest :). Very good watch!

This. Mechanical watches are happiest when continually running. If you take it off all the time and throw it back on once in a while, and it keeps shutting down in the process, it's not going to last as long as you think without some servicing. This is why people buy watch winders for the ones they don't wear often that keep them running.

> even Rolexes and super expensive watches are supposed to go in every few years for servicing.

Not so true these days. For example Oris (Calibre 400) and Tudor recommend service once every 10 years on their latest movements, if that. I know of Rolex owners that have gone 20 years without servicing they've still kept good time. I recently purchased a Pelagos and the watch maker at the shop told me I probably don't even need to get it serviced at the 10 year mark. Like anything YMMV.

With things like using more jewels than ever, the latest movements are becoming extremely reliable and not needing service as often.

Perhaps the influx of thousands of migrants per year is overwhelming the system? Why can’t their population raise concerns around this?

Came here to say this. I’m still shocked how many people including on HN have been fooled by the politics around this. I guess it works.

I agree but this discounts the harm alcoholism does to those around. It can impact the family, especially children, who which in turn develop psychological issues that alcohol is used to cope with later in life. Continuing this circular issue throughout subsequent generations. I think we can attack the root cause and prevent ongoing damage.

Quiet quitting is a new name for “lazy”. Not a new concept.

I would totally do this, but I have to have a smartphone for PagerDuty and Slack if I’m on-call. Which for me is basically 24/7 since I’m a SME in a few areas. I figure most of you are in a similar situation, I don’t see a way around that.

Couldn’t a contributor to the lack of evidence be that the CCP blocked a lot of discovery from being conducted, and didn’t release enough information? We’re never going to know due to that alone. Obviously the optics would be really bad if they showed evidence that they leaked it accidentally.

Democrats pulling this stunt on Trump in an effort to prevent him from running is going to do nothing but backfire. His base is more fired up than ever, and if they can’t vote for him, they’ll vote for the next populist.

This is what infra/ops people are there for. I think a lot of the problems here are devs with no ops background having to maintain these platforms. It’s understandably daunting for those in this position.

I would love this set up. However we have one team member who is a total cowboy, goes off on tangents and can spend weeks on a random idea than an epic/quarterly goal and we can’t get rid of him. So daily stand-up’s are our only way of seeing what he’s up to. There’s always looking at PRs but we only have so much time individually to babysit PRs. It’s a trust thing for sure.

This is an insane worldview. I hope you’re around to see the mental health issues this will cause on children who had their natural development destroyed by pharmaceutical companies and dumb parents.

There’s nothing bigoted about this, and you’re just using that language as a political weapon to demonize and guilt dissent.

Unfortunately all those downvotes on Biden’s videos on the White House channel right after his inauguration were effective.

China bot galore. Lol.

Absolutely. We need to put our focus higher up the stream.

Isn’t it also a drug problem? Boiling it down to just housing doesn’t seem like it will fix anything. There’s way too many factors.

If someone living in a home currently falls into drug addiction, there’s a good chance they go into financial ruin and lose their home.

That said there’s definitely a lack of supply with housing especially in places like SF.

It's as if we are no longer able to perform inductive reasoning.

So the lack of food being imported from this export needs to be balanced somewhere else, no? This would mean no reduction in emission. Only emission within this locale. I guess that's a win to make local numbers look good. This is so pointless. Not to mention we are taking away livelihoods from people.

Why is this on here.

That makes no sense.

This argument at its core is trying to justify at what stage of development this is considered human enough to protect. I think it’s a similar line of thinking as eugenics.

An embryo I agree cannot survive out of the womb, but what an embryo is, is a stage of human life. It’s still a human. Let’s not start trying to decide who is human enough to live.

In Colorado you can get an abortion up to 9 months. There’s legislation trying to pass abortion allowance up to the moment of birth, and some have been recently successful in passing. Many states in the US allow abortions in 2nd trimester which is where a baby can survive outside the womb in a NICU.

An embryo is a stage of being a human. As you say, you were an embryo yourself. It's only because we can't see it that we feel it's not human enough and can be killed. The thought of not being "human enough" doesn't bode well in our history, especially around the 1940s timeframe.

> This is such bulshit!

I know, a different opinion on a left wing dominant forum. It’s pretty wild.

> First and foremost willing unprotected sex is not the only reason for getting pregnant! Contraceptive are not 100% effective and there is rape.

I address this in another comment below.

> Third sometimes there are medical reasons for abortions (Malta recently almost killed a mother that had a miscarriage… the child was 100% going to die but as long as the fetus’ heart was beating they could not remove it and therefore the mover risked sepsis)

You’re citing very rare events to support the main issue which is the majority of abortions are out of convenience, which is where the main issue is.

For these rare events there can be middle ground found here.

> Second the body inside her might not belong to her (although… debatable) but her body is still hers and therefore she is entitled to remove anything inside of her. > A twisted example based on your comment: should be allowed to remove tumours? They have a slightly different DNA from the host therefore they are not “property” of the sick and therefore should be left there!

This is arguing the same point in my opinion. The tumor does not grow into a human. The tumor is not able to survive outside of the womb in a NICU as a human.

Rape is less than 2% of abortions. Even then, because my father was a horrible person I shouldn’t have to die for it. We don’t need to use rare edge cases to validate the 98% of abortions which are out of convenience.

I’m not talking about abstinence, plenty of birth control options are available. Men need to take more responsibility and wear a condom.

> So if you take that "body" inside her out of her, what happens to it? It dies unless it's the late stages (what, 6 months in?) It's entirely dependent on her to grow to become a human being.

Yes this is biology, and? If you ever had to visit a NICU you’ll see plenty of 20 some week old pre-mature babies (or “bodies” in your case) that are just as human as you and I. They are just in a different stage in life. They need food to survive, just like you and I. I have a 1 year old, he is dependent on me to grow and survive.

The mother decided to have unprotected sex. There’s a reason women get pregnant. This isn’t some magical thing that is forced on women. Cause and effect.

The body inside her body is not hers. Unfortunately biology does not conform to our fantasyland.

Forcing those who are against this to pay a fine is against their will.

Many don’t believe this is a human right, and you enforcing this on them is going against their will. This is authoritarian.
