I’m curious what source you have to discredit the poore-nemecek study. The only thing I could find was farmer’s against agriculture misinformation, which seemed biased at best and also did not cite their claims well.

How about a nice game of Global Thermonuclear War?

We’re doing the same thing! Only been 2 years so far but excited to see the collection grow!

No, but it still isn’t secure enough for classified information. The protocol is probably fine, but the weak point is the device. And the device can be compromised. Devices rated for classified systems never touch the public internet which makes them significantly less susceptible to being compromised.

Not having a stand your ground law just means you have a duty to escape/remove yourself from the situation if it is safe to do so. It does not eliminate your right to self defense or extend it to defense of another. If someone is being kidnapped, they reasonably could not escape.

That being said, I doubt it would be ruled in favor of a defendant in this case.

To be clear, the Signal protocol has not been cracked. Russia has been using phishing attacks to get victims to link their signal account to a device Russia controls.

The other use for timezones besides local midnight is the offset between geographical areas. UTC+2 or UTC+4. if I start work at 6 UTC and my buddy at 10 UTC, I know for scheduling purposes we are 4 hours shifted from each other. Whether you have to do math or not depends, but it is still a “timezone” by a different name. The only way to completely get rid of timezones is to ignore local time altogether.

Except when you have to work with people geographically separated. Trying to figure out when their work hours are UTC, and when yours are, so as to line it up. Boom, you’ve reinvented timezones by a different name.

I’ve used Kobo and Ebooks.com, and import into my Calibre library. I know some authors have a way to purchase directly on their site.

It absolutely does. https://plugins.calibre-ebook.com/ there is a KFX input plugin. Also, if using an older version of kindle for PC you can batch download your whole library and import to Calibre.

It’s balanced by light switches being outside of the bathroom, which I absolutely hate.

I also legitimately loved this movie. Wonderful balance of satire and comedy.

I’m a pilot on Lemmy! But I’m pretty sure I’m not facing jail time right now.

Thanks for the response! Definitely fair that the OP had the assumption of America-centric or at least credit card specific.

As to the scam, the unfortunate reality is that the price is already higher to account for fees, and it makes no difference if you pay cash or card. So Americans have the choice to either pay cash or pay card with cash back, even if the price is the same. Also there are better protections in the states for credit card purchases than debit card purchases, so there’s an advantage there as well.

I’m curious about what you mean by credit card scam, in this context. Care to elaborate?

I think academia is entirely different from news. This is research often funded with public money where the article fees aren’t going to the author. Seems a lot more reasonable to demand that the public should be able to read it for free.

Except when you’re walking on a road, you should walk on the opposite side of vehicle traffic.
