Do you remember the time Marco Rubio repeated the same thing twice during a presidential debate ? His speech included calling the US "the greatest nation in the history of the world" but no one minded that.
In most countries you would be ridiculed for saying something like that, but from what I understand Americans are taught that their country is the best in basically everything and they are very lucky to be born there because every other place is worse off.
The American military doesn't train to put on parade theatre for a despot. No high stepping, no elaborate formations or movements. None of that pointless bullshi
Marines doing the silent drill in dress uniform : 👀
I'm unsure I get your point, how does waste prevent a shortage from becoming a famine ?
Also, both raw cauliflower and tinned tomatoes can be eaten almost as is.
My guess would be yes, the whole point of including a legacy port like this would be compatibility. Laptops used (still use?) PS/2 long after desktops moved to USB keyboards because the lack of polling meant improved battery life, so it'd make sense for the hardware support to still be there.
That's fine, but there's no rational basis for your position, and therefore no reason to call the dude "stupid" regarding that. He thinks life sucks and you don't but that's just a difference in values.
The obvious problem is... it's not possible to ask someone whether they would like to be conceived prior to conception.
Agreed, but how do you go from that to "therefore it's fine to conceive"?
If someone at a party is passed out and therefore it's not possible to communicate with them, we assume they don't consent to anything. Why doesn't the same reasoning apply here?
He proposed doing it. He has an habit of proposing many things though.
The fact they made it possible is impressive in itself. Sure it's not competitive for the latest games or such, but society is more and more reliant on smartphones, so having a local option is valuable in itself.
It's a bit like countries making their own planes instead of buying the F-35, which is better and cheaper. They looked stupid at the time, until Trump came back and it turned out strategic autonomy had value.
As for the price, probably it is due to small production ; but also simply underlines how we got used to not paying the "true" price of things, by moving production to places with cheaper costs & labor.
You're missing their point, they're saying from the point of view of those in power millionaires are middle class.
Although there are some that distinguish a "managerial class" that is in-between the middle class and the billionaires : people like CEOs and such, with net worth in the tens of millions but who are not those who benefit the most from the system and are culturally distinct. I think it's a useful concept personally, as their interests aren't necessarily the same as the owner class but they still have a lot of political power.
Most of Europe does not put fluor in the drinking water though.
Loads of fossil power use gas turbines that do not involve steam :x
Fairphone literally does have that statistic. They spent effort to gather that info in order to inform their business decisions. And they report:
