It’s just email, and email isn’t exactly famous for its security and privacy…

that raises a philosophical question, at what point does a backup become an archive?

it’s the kind of thing that should literally require 3 people turning physical keys at the same location

“behold a screw!”

this assumes that a big car is better, which is the opposite of reality.

it’s like asking for alternative grocery stores, it entirely depends where you live.

i just completely ignore all news about new battery technology, i seriously do not see the point in paying attention until it’s actually available for purchase and people have tested it in real life.

good old USB extender, which technically isn’t allowed to exist

at best it was a playground for people who are fundamentally fucked in the head, i’ve never understood how any normal person can tolerate it at all.

it always brightens my day to think about how the polar opposite of the Fallout universe is happening

As an outsider i feel the only viable way for america to unfuck itself is to throw the current constitution into the sea and start over from scratch, presumably resulting in multiple new countries that maybe form something like the EU (or as another person said, outright join the EU).

It’s the same situation as the USSR ended in, the concept of “the USA” is falling apart at the seams and if you try to mend it back together you’ll just get a heap of mismatched fabric.

so uh, OP was banned for identity theft???

right, but maybe americans can try to remember that actual rural areas (as in, something between the density of suburbia and wyoming) do exist, and that the entire world doesn’t consist of 30 megacities in a desert? It’s very frustrating to see perfectly valid modes of transport dismissed as bonkers and inefficient, when it demonstrably works okay in the right circumstances and enables 90% of my country to have any sort of public transport at all.

I see this kind of thing so often from americans, taking their personal experiences with public transport and their local conditions, and projecting that upon the entire concept of public transport as a whole.
Everything from “public transport is full of stinky druggies and is only for the truly desperate”, to “the only form of public transport that exists is buses; trains and trams are ancient and irrelevant”. And it’s baffling because just looking at how things work in the rest of the world would immediately disabuse those notions.

oh come off it, it’s a great way to provide service in areas that are NEVER going to get proper bus lines otherwise.
We use it in most of sweden (as a fallback in rural areas) and it’s perfectly functional.

no, that’s not what the research showed. The research showed that it barely even increases the risk of cancer if you inject absurd amounts of it into rats.
It’s one of the safest food additives we’ve ever studied.

right but… that’s just a matter of personal taste, why would you tell others to avoid artificial sweeteners? Many people don’t even notice a difference in taste.

source? Because all i’ve ever seen is that sugar free soda is almost identical to water

sugar free soda is absolutely fine for hydration, the addatives just go straight through your body

what does “chemical sweeteners” mean?
