I thought keychron used qmk, does it not?

At some point those businesses need workers. It doesn’t matter if you’re selling b2b 500 companies deep, at the end there’s a human buying a product and there’s humans building that product.

Shampoo and conditioner are completely different products so yeah those are a scam, but shampoo and body soap are the exact same thing, they remove oils. Conditioner adds it back. So yeah use body soap in your hair, it’s fine, or the other way around!

I think you’re both right, but this is a great reason for ISO8601. This weekend is the weekend in the current week. In most of the world it’s Monday-Sunday which makes this way clearer, in which case he would have said “next weekend” and you would be completely correct, but if you’re in a country that starts on a Sunday then “this weekend” is two things. Sunday and Saturday, with 5 days in between. Since you were already in part of the two parter you could only be referring to the next part, the upcoming Saturday, part of this week.

This doesn’t make sense from a linguistics standpoint though. So next Thursday is the Thursday this week, but next week isn’t this week, it’s the week after this one. So what’s the Thursday in that week, the next next Thursday? It just doesn’t work.

Anything in this week (Sunday-Saturday or Monday-Sunday) even stuff from a few days ago -> this <day of the week>.

Anything from last week -> last <dotw>

Anything in next week -> next <dotw>

It’s incredibly simple and it’s logically consistent and it works in every situation unless you are talking to someone from a different country that uses a different starting day. And even then it works the majority of the time.

If next was the next occurrence of the day you’d be saying “next Wednesday on a Tuesday” and be talking about tomorrow, which is frankly ludicrous. I’ve also never heard anyone use a rolling week for “this” and this is such a funny conversation to come up because I literally had this confusion last Sunday (not this previous Sunday, as in yesterday, also note that this lines up well with using “last week”), because I was talking with several Venezuelans, a Chilean, a Mexican, and a Salvadoran, along with some Americans and this exact confusion came up but not because it was a rolling week, or because next means the next occurrence, but because they considered the week to start on Monday, not Sunday. So “this Thursday” meant the previous Thursday, since it was part of that week. Next Thursday meant the coming Thursday (the part of the next week).

I mention the nationalities because it’s pretty uncommon to start a week on a Sunday like Americans do.

Weirdly I looked it up and the internet says those countries start their weeks on Monday but that sure wasn’t what the people I talked to thought. 🤷

The rule makes perfect sense (and is how I’ve always used it), but this article actually misses a major point which I just learned last week when talking to some native Spanish speakers. In most English speaking countries, the week starts on Sunday. This isn’t the case for many, many other countries though. So saying “this Friday” on a Sunday really really confuses people. That’s exactly what happened to me last week because it was a Sunday and we were talking about a Friday and she got very very confused.

While having studies is important, this is completely obvious if you think about it for more than a few minutes. AI replaces workers, workers lose jobs and can’t buy food, therefore products that ai is creating can’t be bought, therefore those companies collapse, et al.

Well all of those things can be true though. The claim is that solar is massively cheaper than fossil fuels. Nuclear could still be better (generates more energy with fewer resources and less waste) wind could still be better (works 100% of the time*) but solar could still be getting cheaper and cheaper to the point where it “wins” because it’s easier to install, more distributed which means people are less dependent on the power grid, etc.

In any case, it sounds like now you know. Renewables are incredibly cheap because they don’t require continued investment in incredibly expensive infrastructure. They’re generally build once use forever. Fossil fuels are not, wells run dry, you have to continue to build pipelines, terminals, pump stations, etc for every new well pad. Those benefits from renewables can be had in a bunch of different ways and they all have pros and cons. But they are all cheaper than fossil fuels, it’s just by which order of magnitude and depends on how you measure (cost, maintenance, effect on environment, output, ease of construction, political issues at the time, etc).

What a crazy video

Sound worked on Apollo

Unexpected? Uhhhh maybe if you haven’t ever read the news or any science ever. Scientists have been saying solar will be cheaper than fossil fuels by orders of magnitude since the 80s. And guess what, now they are.

No way it tastes good but it looks cool.

Trying to understand why people might disagree with you is pathetic???

Yeah great chance to downvote that person and not explain why lol. What a weird attitude. It’s the most antisocial, rude, guaranteed way to never change someone’s mind ever.

Context matters. Turns out when you tell stories you kinda have to read the whole thing rather than just snippets.

You can make that 6/7 (my wife and I).

I bet you could take it to court and get all those fees removed, since the precedent has already been set.

Yeah I’m sorry but I already have animals at that point. Our dog has an illness with a 10-20% survival chance in surgery. We’re still deciding on surgery, because the rates have increased in the past few years due to people putting their dogs through surgery. She also has a severely damaged tendon that we went through one surgery on. This dog is the happiest in the world, it doesn’t matter if she’s going to live a shorter life if we don’t get surgery, do you honestly think that she would want to be killed for it?

Think about it this way. If you had an infected hip with a 0% survival rate would you want your family to say you should be put down because of it? Or would you want to spend your time doing fun stuff or maybe going through the surgery to help out science? Dying for no reason is the worst option here. Medically assisted suicide isn’t what we’re talking about here, we’re talking about being killed without a choice in the matter.

For someone claiming others are throwing out strawmen you sure are good at them.

Please allow a world that is just uncaring to all living beings - and some of us are confronted with that more than you apparently are. And no, I’m no longer talking about animals.

I have no clue what this sentence means.

For context here though: I have a chronic condition, my mom died young from a chronic condition. My dog has two chronic conditions, both of my cats have chronic conditions, and my wife has a chronic condition. You are the one bringing suffering into this world by killing dogs that someone else would take care of until their natural death. You are removing happiness from this world and if you think for a second that your dog wants to be put down because of a hip then you do not understand dogs.

I’m willing to bet you crate your animals and I bet you think breed is an indicator of violence too.

I’m done with this conversation.

Ah I actually knew rat poison was bad because it killed predators but didn’t know there were different kinds. Thank you
