I agree, i was trying to also bring to light that he can have that much influence with an amount of money that could almost be a rounding error to him.

Still extra sickening how much billions are. Even if he actually did 45 million it would have roughly the same percentage impact to his net worth as me spending $100

Let's say he donated the highest amount of 6 figure (i didn't read the article), 999,999. His net worth is at 260 billion, would be the same as me donating $2.50 in regards to my net worth, and i consider myself technically pretty okay money wise. It's absurd how much billions are....

I feel like Europe would offer way better finds than the US. I've only ever used one to locate electric lines, but i definitely can't imagine discovering any of your impressive finds in the USA especially where I'm at in the Midwest

I've posted this elsewhere but I hate this so: A "donation" up front says I'll see what I can do, money after the fact says I'll fight for you. Sounds like bribery to me. Not that the current system isn't but backend feels so much worse

I may have missed it in another comment, but I believe part of it is the cost of lives. During the space race someone dying would've just been part of the risk. Now we are using more automation and a human fatality might risk a company's ability to continue its pursuit.

Do you think so? I don't really know much if we dive in that deep, but I have seem some polls side by side with Biden/Trump as the options and Biden/Trump/RFK and they seem to me like Biden loses more support than Trump when RFK is included.

Edit for source, although I don't know enough about stats to support any of my opinions, but I assume I see two different polls that I assume count the same respondents and both look to me like RFK pulled more from Biden than Trump

I am going to guess you are not American. Our system is kind of fucked I'll admit, but at the moment it appears our options will be Biden or Trump. Knowing what you know who would you vote for? In our current system a third party vote used to be the signal of "our two party system sucks." But in the present world it feels like we're stuck with either meet and the middle and hope or burn it all to the ground.

Might miss out on a one time deal that locks your price for a year, but even if its fifteen bucks for a month to catch up on things I want to watch I'm fine switching services each month.

Just get the service for a month and drop it after catching up on the things you want. I keep it so I can watch bluey with my daughter, but I rotate most of my services.

So what is the best way to actually own music? I miss having a physical file I could put wherever and listen to anywhere, but haven't resorted to pirating anything since limewire

 

My wife and I started a new garden this year, and it ended up bigger than we needed so we dispersed some old seeds we had in the extra area. Ended up being fun and are harvesting some extra produce, but there's a few plants I don't recognize. I'm unsure if some of them are even seeds we planted or being new ground that was once my aunt's yard we uncovered some extra plants.

I'm new to linking albums so someone let me know if something doesn't work.

I'm guessing there isn't at the moment, but I can't stand how overloaded the feed gets with the copy and pasted posts from reddit.

I get that a lot of communities here are small and are trying to add content to up engagement, but, for example, I'll see 5 plus posts from r/aitah in a row with no comments and I don't see why many people would even consider replying when the OOP isn't even here to see it.

I'm actually considering blocking some of the communities that have a lot of this, but don't want them gone once their original Lemmy posts get more frequent.
