Git is not very efficient for handling a lot of binary files. Your best bet would be for hosting fanfic and erotic lit.

Wow thank you for the very detailed reply! I’m saving this!

Yes I’m serious. I think my issue is that I use hot water to brew the tea and then ice to cool it down which makes it too watery!

But that’s the case even for home made bacon (or any home made smoked / cured food for that matter).

Every time I’ve brewed iced tea it always tastes super weak sauce. Canned/packaged iced teas taste wayyyyyy too sweet to me. I just want ice cold flavourful tea with a tiny bit of sweetness. How do you do that?

I’m sure Lipton iced tea is full of artificial colours and emulsifiers and possibly even fats for some reason, in addition to excessive amounts of sugar. I’m not going to defend that crap. No one should drink that stuff.

They’re not. I was just trying to give an example of something you could swap out the Lays for that would not be “ultra processed food” but still be just as unhealthy.

So instead of Lays they’ll start serving the kids fresh cut fries, double fried and generously salted.

The problem with those is all the additives, such as nitrates. You can also get nitrates from eating bacon which is not nearly as processed.

I don’t apologize for or excuse anyone, I merely explain. Most people around here seem to prefer to hurl insults rather than understand the world around them. I block them.

Do you have an example of a particular billionaire you’d like to discuss?

My example would be Google. Founded in 1998, IPO in 2004. That’s essentially when Sergey Brin became a billionaire.

We can all point to bad things Google has done over the years but I’m having a hard time finding any of them that occurred before 2004. Who are the millions of people that Sergey Brin exploited between 1998 and 2004?

Note that Google had only 2500 employees in 2004 and almost all of them became millionaires on the day of the IPO.

Dragon hoard doesn’t really describe what it’s like.

It’s more like going in to work every day, like everybody else at the office, sitting in meetings all day, and then watching the stock price shoot up until one day your net worth crosses 1,000,000,000.

It’s like getting a high score in a video game. There’s no mountain of cash in some warehouse. It’s just a number on a screen.

It’s not just a French Revolution style scenario they have to worry about. Look at what has happened to some Russian billionaires. Not so fun enjoying the playboy lifestyle when you’re afraid to drink tea or get anywhere near an open window.

Not every billionaire wants to be a technofeudalist or an oligarch. I bet a bunch of Russian billionaires don’t like the situation they’re in but are afraid to leave.

You’re making an assertion without evidence. What’s there to understand about an unsupported (and likely false) assertion?

Sure they would. Interest is based on economic growth, not lifespan.

Then it’s no longer vegan.

If you could live 25000 years you wouldn’t need to earn a billion by working. You could invest a single dollar at 1% interest and it would only take 2083 years to grow to over a billion dollars.

This isn’t butter, this is one type of butter fat. It’s missing the milk solids, proteins, and other molecules that contribute to butter’s smell and taste.

Mechanisms of enforcement still need enforcers who respect the rule of law. If the enforcers stop respecting the rule of law and prefer to play power politics then the won’t help you.

Enforcers are part of the honour system. If they aren’t honourable then the system breaks down.

Yeah. I was just thinking about why zombies are so threatening. They represent the total collapse of the social order and a replacement of a large percent of the population of ordinary people with savage predators.
