I appreciate trying to save resources here, but Americans are way too fucking stupid for that to work, amid a myriad of other issues I see with this

How long it lasts as a usable token of trade

So it’s still worthless. Genuinely, what can a penny purchase? A nickel? A dime? None of these coins can buy something individually, and a large chunk of the population doesn’t carry them because the utility they gain for having exact change is less than the coins are worth

To be clear, I understand the coins vs. bills argument, but I’m personally in favor of cutting all coins up to the quarter. Or cutting all coins except dimes and half dollars, but dimes are annoying coins

Well you see one device is made by Microsoft which has been the defacto way to watch videos for a large chunk of its lifespan and the other gave us UMDs and camcorders with cables that could only connect to Vaio laptops, which were the only devices that supported writing to mini-disc

I would not recommend PS5+Plex. I went through the whole set-up and the PS5 couldn’t encode over half my videos. When playback did work it was often choppy. I dislike that it has ads all over the place but the ONN Streaming Pro does a way better job as Plex streaming device at $45 than my PS5. Plus the controller will be much easier for simple tech users, you can rebind one of the buttons to go directly to Plex

2nd pro tip:

If you’ve never attempted this before, when someone is pointing a gun at you is probably the incorrect time to try it out

I’m sure there’s multiple versions, that’d be good too. It’s mostly just getting people to talk about things they like in their life

Typical advice for this is talk about FORD:

• Family
• Occupation
• Relationships
• Dreams

and avoid RAPE:

• Religon
• Abortion
• Politics
• Economics

FORD is talking about the people they love, where they spend most of their time, and what they’re excited about. RAPE is a list of topics that are frequently contentious and that people are bad at having productive conversations about (also don’t talk about rape)

You’re putting words in the mouth of someone uninvolved in the conversation. Hank Green wasn’t in anything you posted and you’re slamming him like he is. I posted evidence in contradiction of your baseless statement

Truly, what the fuck are you talking about?

I find it weird you’re criticizing Hank Green in your comment but use 2 links that don’t directly reference him at all and in fact the 2nd link uses AI generated art and summaries of the article. Hank Green has had a varied and nuanced take on AI that largely lands on it being a negative for society

Multiverse really does feal like early access FTL 2

As someone who works in tech I occasionally point out to people that if Jeff Bezos decided to go full supervillain he could hold the internet hostage. If you disabled AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud individually the cascading failures on the various systems would take weeks to fix, which we might not have with a supply chain collapse. Genuinely, I think there’s a real chance it could trigger the collapse of human civilization

Where’s your head at? by Basement Jaxx

No, it’s Darkseid from the same franchise as the post

I’d like to see the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy done well. The cast was pretty good for the movie but the script was a mess. Plus getting to the later books you can get a little weird with it

Honestly the monkey’s paw wouldn’t have to do anything. Back when we had dinosaurs the earth had significantly more oxygen in the atmosphere which helped them be as large as they were. Most dinosaurs would probably slowly suffocate to death today from oxygen deprivation

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t even read it. I just clicked the first link that confirmed what I already knew

Lana Del Rey married some random gator boat tour guide

Correct, it is one of the few
