Tracks on ship!

oh wait, they already have that in italy!

Tl;dr

Can i buy these for my parents who are too stubborn to get proper hearing aids?

The restaurant AI slop is the worst… even a shitty cell phone picture of your food is better using AI on your menu… i truly dont understand

All good… i wasnt very clear in my writing lol…

I’m agreeing with you…

The rest of the thread has a bunch of confidently incorrect answers about how intangible/illiquid things should not be counted for net worth

Ontarians are so braindead, they keep blaming all the problems on the NDP even though they havent been in power for 30 years.

“ford sucks!”
“did you try voting for someone else? How about the NDP?”
“They all suck! I didnt even vote!”

Literally a conversation i had with family

Yeah, i’ve never seen so many confidently incorrect answers in one place…

People around here cant seem to separate their hate of the stock market with how accounting actually works…

Securities are definitely considered assets when calculating net worth…

How does this compare to merlin? I dont currently have any reason to distrust the cornell university department of ornithology… but if they ever turn evil its good to know there’s a backup

First time i visited italy, i ended up tipping at a lot of places (even though tipping is not a thing there), because they kept giving me free drinks… at the end of my meal, i’d ask about an amaro, and they’d bring me like 3 bottles and tell me about how their grandpa used to drink this amaro every night and lived until 100 or whatever… so i’d try 3 different amaro for free… and order one i like… of course i’ll tip 5€ or whatever…

Watching King of the hill as an adult is a wholenew world

So? That already exists in the one person, one vote system.

You’re literally proposing to give 100x more voting power to the people being influenced by billionaire propaganda… that is absolutely NOT what already exists today

This isnt going to work out like you imagine…

One billionaire with zero votes can just post some AI disinfo and sway 100 idiots who now have 100 votes…

People routinely vote against their own interests, and poor people hurt themselves the most…

I mean, temporarily embarrassed millionaires…

It’s such a broken system that our public institutions rely on “philanthropists”, whether it be libraries, museums, and especially hospitals… just tax these fuckers properly and fund our instititions like a normal society

Pushing back is investigative journalism or opinion pieces. Which are a vital parts of a healthy newsroom, of course.

But for the most part, reporting the news is supposed to be just copy pasting what politicians say.

if mark carney says “pipelines are good”, it’s the job of the news to report that mark carney said “pipelines are good”… thats not an endorsement of pipelines. It’s just reporting the facts… it’s not the job of the CBC to colour that news with their own opinion, even if its something you and i agree with. Thats how you end up with shit like fox news

What are we testing them on? Some “basic skills” become irrelevant over time and the testing should reflect that.

We dont test kids on how to use a slide rule any more.

The advent of the calculator has likely made us all dumber at mental math, but that doesnt mean we havent gained skills elsewhere.

I dont use any of the smart features, so unless it’s injecting ads into the HDMI inputs, it doesnt affect me

it’s the same trophy, they pass it along every year.

and it’s tradition that each player gets to spend a day with the cup. because of this, the trophy has gone through some wild rides… someone got drunk and dented it… someone got drunk and left it on the side of the road. Someone baptised their child in it (and i believe the child peed in it)

crazy stories.

Well then i would need to make sure the new screen has the latest firmware.

I dont think connecting my tv to the internet for 5mins is the end of the world. I’m not THAT paranoid

Although i noticed that the tv made 100 dns requests the moment it connected

You should maybe connect it once for update. At least check firmware update changelogs to see if anything is relevant.

I have an LG and experienced a weird picture problem for over a year… it was infuriating. Firmware update fixed it.

$sudo apt install realtek-firmware-nonfree

“NOOOOOO SO USER UNFRIENDLY!!!”

“On windows all i have to do is go to regedit, then HKEY/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/classes/someObscureSetting, then select DWORD and change the value to 0x0011111, then save and reboot. SO EASY AND USER FRIENDLY!! Thanks microslop!!!”
