  • It also gained a ton of market value before the election, when Musk’s relationship with Trump was announced.

    It’s ‘nice’ it’s lowering at all, but last I checked it was lowering to pre-announcememt levels, it’s just flattening out the surge. A return to normal of you will.

    Haven’t checked for a while so maybe now it actually IS lower than it was in July. But not by ad much as the post-inaugeration stats make it look.

    Tesla hasn’t lost that much value… yet.


  • The eggs aren’t even that much more expensive to produce. The hit has only been about 2%. There’s still plenty of eggs. And it’s the same with getting free range eggs instead of battery/cage - the increase in production price is pretty small, really.

    It comes down to the same thing: the market charging premiums. They charge more for free range because it’s ‘luxury’. They charge more for organic because it’s ‘lifestyle’. And they charge more for eggs during US strife because it’s ‘supply and demand’.

    They have the supply. They also have an excuse, and nobody is regulating them. The country doesn’t need to buy eggs en masse, it needs to regulate pricing.


  • Thanks.

    Holy shit, it’s so many. Days apart, so I’d guess like half my comments in the last few months? I stopped scrolling.

    Som of them I can assume why. The discussion might be about gendered experiences and I’d use a word like ‘sexism’, ‘rape’ or ‘bitch’ in intellectual discussion. Bots can’t know the difference and might think it’s harassment (or not ad-friendly).

    But so many of them are informative responses to questions in subs like TooAfraidToAsk. Sex, relationships, escaping abuse. Most of them are long comments discussing controversial topics in a nuanced, analytical way. Almost all of them are correcting misinformation, providing empathetic context, or teaching somebody who asked for help.

    Shadowbanning comments removes the user’s ability to appeal. Jesus, I hope some of these people still managed to get the help they needed.

    Literally the only things I still posted there were supposed to answer people’s questions and instruct. If I can’t warn an 18yr boy that his relationship sounds unhealthy and recommend resources to him, there’s no fucking point me being there.

    Thanks for the link. I’ve got stuff to think about.

    Modern PCs don’t truly hibernate, they sleep. If the tower loses power its considered a hard reset.

    If anything, Windows machines often have ‘fast boot’ enabled which saves certain things to state, so today’s manual shutdown (without power loss) is closer to old school hibernation than today’s ‘sleep’ is.

    You can shutdownyour PC each night, but depending on what you’re working on it can disrupt workflow, so I understand why many people prefer to sleep instead.



  • My expectations werent high but given these remakes are often 1:1 to originals, I was looking forward to at least seeing Jumbaa. And then they made Jumbaa and Pleakley just regular humans. Boriiiing.

    Downside with live action I guess; in the cartoon the disguises are paper-thin but their human clothing is sufficient. Live action uncanny value takes that away from us; they can’t even pull it off with Stitch (really highlights “blue koala with bin-lid mouth”).

    So are we not getting scenes where Jumbaa is so large, heavy, and strong that he causes damage or gets stuck? Where rubbery flexible Pleakley responds to physics or his wibdmilling arms when he panics? Jumbaa and Pleakley are never going to fight over sharing a wig (anf well never see it perched delicately on Jumbaa’s head) because they’ll simply never use one.

    Ruins the fun when you take aliens put of the movie about aliens imo.
