Is it a noose made of hemp

My answer has nothing to do with current events: what scares me the most about the future is the inevitable death of my parents. I am scared of never being able to talk to them ever again.

I remember when 30° was considered acute.

What is the “self-driving car problem” that the comment refers to?

It makes the air cold. What’s there to understand?

With that logic, leaving your refrigerator door open should cool the room. But doing so would actually heat it up.

It actually does require some basic knowledge of thermodynamics. Many people think “there are space heaters, so why not space coolers?” The reality is that the heat needs to be pumped out of the room (meaning hot air needs to be vented to the outside of the building).

I am currently making my way down IMBD’s list of the top 250 TV shows (by user ratings). They also have a similar list for the best movies.

My personal shout-out goes to Black Mirror.

“In leadership roles, narcissists have a clear preference for face-to-face interaction, where richer channels allow them to not only gain attention but also wield power and status,” the authors write. Remote settings curtail leaders’ usual means of “directing and inspiring employees” like using hand gestures, fluctuating the volume of their voice, making eye contact, and adjusting their posture. “When communicating by video, phone, email, or text, it is more difficult for leaders to command the attention—and gauge and bask in the admiration—of their employees,” the authors write.

I don’t understand the aversion to datacenters. Just make sure that they use green energy and recycle their cooling water.

Hell yeah California. Suck it, Peacock.

I disagree. This site is not hostile or insular at all. Also, it’s not Lemmy, it’s The Lemmy Club.

Ah yes, George W Bush’s fan base: Karl Rove.

Let’s not forget about the crusades and the conquistadores.

Clearly Idi Amin read Animal Farm.

Exactly. Only a sith deals in absolutes.

“In diplomacy, the side with leverage doesn’t wait in the room,” Taha wrote. “You claim to be leading and winning, yet you arrived first. First mistake.”

Taha also flagged a telling moment from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghci, who Taha claimed “entered last and refused to shake hands,” a claim supported by reporting from the Iranian news outlet Tasnim News Agency.

… That’s it? The headline seems hyperbolic.
