High tariffs and other economic sanctions would essentially be just that, but like another comment said the west isn’t ready for it.

We’ve managed to entangle our economies too deeply with cheap Chinese production, so actually sanctioning them would be painful to say the least and they know it

Taking a stab in the dark here, but they probably don’t like the genocide of Palestinians that the state of Israel is engaged in

Yeah to expand on this, in professional settings you’ll want a higher sampling frequency so you don’t end up with eg. aliasing, but for consumer use ≥44–48kHz sampling rate is pretty much pointless

Probably the latter. Seems like a cynical marketing ploy, really

Surprisingly enough, some essential oils do have research-based actual uses, such as topical antibacterials, antifungals and antiparasitics.

While there’s quite a bit of woo woo around them, there’s also a lot of interesting research into phytochemicals like essential oils. Same with a few other “plant-based” things like pine resin; there’s even a clinically tested pine resin salve that helps with wound healing and is used for treating difficult wounds in some hospitals in Finland.

The problem with essential oils is trying to filter out the snake oil claims from the actual research-based claims. Most vendors tend to have pretty, well, wild claims about what their products can do, so your best bet is scholar.google.com or www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and the like

So because VPN works for you, it’s impossible for it to not work for literally anybody else?

Average conservative moment. What’s scary is that calling for an ethnic cleansing of leftists isn’t a fringe opinion anymore, and people like him are gaining more and more power by the year.

And it’s not like this is just the US. Here in Europe, Italy is ruled by a party that is a direct descendant of Mussolini’s Fascist Party; Hungary is… well, Hungary; extremist right wing parties are very popular in Germany; Finland’s government has multiple literal neo-Nazis in it, with one extremist right-wing party eg. blocking legislation that would help guarantee the impartiality of courts; and the list goes on and on. It’s pretty telling that at least here in Finland, the under-25’s are much more conservative than Millennials or even Gen X – the majority of them voted for either a “fiscally conservative” party (ie. they’ve started down the “everything I don’t like is woke” path and would be fine with concentration camps for leftists as long as they’re privately funded) or an extremist right wing party, which has members who have eg. publicly fantasized about murdering gay people and who stan Breivik

Are we assuming that everyone is always going to be biking with no other options? I don’t think anyone is even advocating for that.

BUT WHAT IF YOUR LEGS ARE BROKEN? WHAT IF THERE’S A NUCLEAR WAR???

The people who seem to think that biking is an untenable option because you might have to very occasionally use other modes of transport make me wonder if that mindset comes from the fact that people feel that it’s normal to only use one mode of transport pretty much ever, because that’s how many people are with cars.

write it all in red pen at an angle of 45degrees

Trust me I’m a sovereign citizen, this is how it works

Better drink some colloidal silver in chlorine, no way could that be a scam. Gee why am I turning blue and shitting my guts out

The idea that all politicians are corrupt and conniving bastards is mainly a right-wing fiction. They assume everybody acts exactly like they themselves do

is not a reasonable prospect.

Not that that’s stopped 4chan before

Ah yes, the 'ol fractal of horror

Wonder if using first-past-the-post has something to do with that. Seems like a pretty terrible system

Reddit surfed through the years of cheap vc money but going public could kill it.

Wonder which fascist tech billionaire will buy it when it finally implodes

In space, nobody can hear your explosive diarrhea?

I see a flaw in this design…

You don’t say?

Well sure that’s fundamentally true, but really doesn’t give any sort of accurate picture of how estimates are done any more than “humans are just collections of cells” does, and anybody who does estimates without using some sort of data as the basis and is purely guessing is doing it wrong as fuck.

It’s not like we have no idea how long certain tasks have taken in the past, or what affects how long something will take.
