@IsaacOstlund Agreed, a much better argument and worth thinking about framed this way. Thank you.
@chris I do miss Utrecht! Well glad your week is ending on a good note.
Glad you are enjoying yourself. whats going on?
Ok that seems more fair if we are saying Tesla not "Musk owned companies". Comparing Tesla to NPR seems far more reasonable and useful.
How are we defining "Musk's companies" how much does he have to own before its "his"? Is one share enough, does he have to own it all?
Why are we comparing all companies where Musk has some shares to a single company (NPR)? How is that a useful comparison.
Even if you replaced Musk's name with mine, and im not particularly rich, this works out. I have a stofck portfolio of hundreds of companies I "own", I am sure they, in total, got far more aide than a single company like NPR....
Look I'm no fan of Musk, but lets stop with this sort of nonsense comparison please.
@Baley Sounds nice as hell!
@sojournTime I much prefer clicky, the louder the better. That said green are supposed to be louder than blue but they are about the same, maybe a bit quieter.
@thor i prefer to piss everyone off, all my web pages only have a grey mode.
Decided my keyboard needed cleaning so I went ahead and bought some keycaps for it while I was at it.
It cost me 300$ when I bought it since it is a custom made keyboard with all cherry mx green switches (you rarely find all keys in green). I personally love it and even more so with the new key caps.
No in this case we are talking about the actual mafia (people not govt run as far as I am aware).
@jeffowski Well that rules out the democrats and republicans :(
The #QOTO git server and a few other services are finally back up. I'll continue working on them tomorrow. The pages of gitlab isnt working correctly just yet but ill hopefully have that fixed tomorrow.
Matrix should also be back up but it will be a bit slow for 24 hours as it syncs up.
@straphanger Nah, its where we use teleporters!
I mean they are super far left, and that usually gets a block from you. so yea, I kinda would have expected you to block sooner.
That said they didnt seem like much of a dick other than to like the sort of people you dislike... Which is no more of a crime than blocking 99% of the people you meet really... You two are adorable.
@TruthSandwich I have to agree with them.. You are wrong unless you can cite me N+1 sources, where N is the number of sources you have cited.
Cambridge dictionary is fine, it works in a laypersons discussion... But like much scientific language it is simplified for lay people and technical definitions usually need to be understood if you want to have a more technical discussion.
