Interesting, thanks for the information!

There is a film from 1995 which is literally about companies trying to prevent a cure from getting out since it would interfere with their ongoing treatments.

I don’t think that this removes more plaque, but it does neutralize the acids that they produce which damages teeth.

As someone who moved to a new country, having preparation instructions for things that “everyone” knows how to cook are super useful.

Meh. There’s also .UK, which is not the country code for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland… that’s GB.

We also have .EU, so this stuff is all pretty flexible in some sense.

Country codes are defined by the ISO, which is not UN run.

I love how the fact checker rules the original post false… because there are fewer homeless people and more homes than the original Facebook post? Meaning that the waste is even more egregious than claimed? 🤔

In both the US and China software developers get paid a lot more than an average job. Not so in Europe.

“You will be shot!”

“More like chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before.”

I was interested in that quote, since it seems incredible:

tldr: it originally appeared in slightly different form in a newspaper article by a critic of Jay Gould about his failure to get a particular policy through, and was probably not something Gould said in so many words.

Interesting though!

Justice Thomas? Is that you on Lemmy?

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

If you need something you can still search for it using Google. Sometimes manufacturers even have lists of companies who sell their stuff. You can buy from some other retailer.

And if Amazon is a lot cheaper or the only option, then you suck it up to living in a fully-evolved capitalistic hell scape and buy it from Bezos.

Dutch population started to decline a few years ago it you just look at births and deaths, and discount immigration and emigration.

From RFC 2804:

• The IETF believes that adding a requirement for wiretapping will make affected protocol designs considerably more complex. Experience has shown that complexity almost inevitably jeopardizes the security of communications even when it is not being tapped by any legal means; there are also obvious risks raised by having to protect the access to the wiretap. This is in conflict with the goal of freedom from security loopholes.

This was written in 2000 in response to US government requests to add backdoors to voice-over-IP (VoIP) standards.

It was recognized 25 years ago that having tapping capabilities is fundamentally insecure.

Yeah.

Blowing up Aldaran? Genocide. Killing all the Jedi? Genocide. Killing a village of Sand People? Not genocide.

lemmynsfw is awesome!

Hm, maybe. I know that de Tocqueville found Americans to be obsessed with money in the 1830’s. Nothing seems to have changed in the past 200 years in that regard. 🤔

I use it when shopping online because DuckDuckGo is shit for shopping in Holland.

I worked with a French guy in Amsterdam. His parents were Portuguese, but he was born and raised in France. As far as he was concerned, he was French.

Contrariwise, I worked with an American woman in Virginia. Her grandparents were Irish, and she considered herself Irish, in spite of having been born and raised in America, and both of her parents having been born and raised in America.

It is a kind of fetish in America to hyphenate yourself. Irish-American. Cuban-American. And so on.

My own theory is that this is because America has no culture going back many generations, so people try to find one.
