Satellite That Beamed Down 4.8 TB of Data in 5 Minutes While Doing 17K MPH Dies on the Job
  • I'm an american and I'm generally agreeing with you but our education system is trash mostly because of consistently lowering standards just so everyone passes. Don't get me started on the funding and peivate/charter schools though.

  • Satellite That Beamed Down 4.8 TB of Data in 5 Minutes While Doing 17K MPH Dies on the Job
  • As long as you've taken science/math in school, you should be able to piece it together. No one uses imperial units for computation really, especially in academia. Also if you say 17 KMPH, most will read it as 17 kilometers per hour..even those steeped in the metric system. Please attack the American education system in general and "no child left behind" instead of our choice of distance/speed units on road signs.

  • Anon watches an old concert video
  • Could also be the enshittification of our food and culture including:

    • Demonization of "fat" in foods leading to "fat free" foods being considered healthy when fats are actually good and necessary in the diet which leads to over consumption. (Don't get me started on the sugar and corn lobby)

    • Hyper processed food removing micronutrients necessary for our brains to tell us we're full.

    • Hyper processed foods being cheaper than whole foods

    • Hyper processed foods being super addictive and unwilling at the same time.

    • Food deserts making fast food and convenience store food the only easily accessible food in many areas.

    • The lack of knowledge/skills with respect to home cooking and the deemphasis of "home economics" type knowledge in general...

    • The lack of free time required to both cook and pass on those skills

    • The growing understanding of how perfluorinated materials (PFA, PFOA, PTFE) fuck with our body chemistry including contributing to obesity. Don't get me started on how much companies like DuPont hid and lied about that stuff (and still are).

    • Sedentary lifestyle...

    • There's more but I hope you get the point

    Basically what I'm saying is people were fat before "fat shaming" was looked down upon and late stage capitalism is frequently pulling the levers behind the curtain in many areas including this. You're also talking about "fixing" the outcome instead of preventing the cause which is several orders of magnitude more difficult. The US has abundant wealth but that hasnt specifically translated to better health outcomes. And do you really think middle schoolers have evolved to the point where they don't bully fat kids? There are very few obese people (both children and adults) out there who don't feel shitty about how they look regardless of who tells them they should feel that way.

    The point of trying to inhibit fat shaming and bullying of all kinds is so people don't become reclusive and anti-social, pick up bad habits (such as drug addiction and eating disorders), kill themselves, decide to kill others in mass shootings and the like. Also, just don't be a cunt and make fun of people.

  • can't even pause without them invading
  • I'm sure we've all experienced this to some extent, but I also feel like confirmation bias can play a large role here, so im curious. Is there actually something running in the background that boosts ads over actual content? Is there any literature or first hand employee (YouTube or similar) experience on this

  • Trump's new claim about debate raises fresh questions about his mental health
  • When nearly everything you say is a lie, it gets difficult remember the web of nonsense you've woven...not to mention making sure it makes logical sense. I think pre presidency he was actually pretty good at it because nothing really mattered and no one was checking his bullshit. Different story today...not that his followers care if he's lying to their face.

  • MAGA influencers are scrambling after the DOJ's Russia indictment
  • It's funny how fox and right wing news cherry picks the info they say the DOJ is calling Russian propaganda while saying that this is clamping down on free speech.

    We don't care that these people are saying inflation isn't great and people are struggling fiscally...we care that they're blasting out the message that "Ukraine is the enemy" and "we should apologize to Russia". It also looks like they've been pushing weird Kamala sex stuff lies too. It's a classic lie sandwich, a lie told between two "truths".

  • Trump falsely claims children are being forced into gender transition ops at school
  • I went to the school nurse with a 103 fever and the nurse told me to lay down and offered me an ice pack. MFs can't even give you Tylenol. You think they're arranging free surgery? The only other tool they have is bandaids

    Trying to build a pink case for the wife that's relatively future proof. No gaming, just web browsing, music (not production), YouTube, and ms office stuff.

    The problem is that I've only built two machines and this is the first time I'm doing a color scheme. Im also stuck between DDR4 and 5. I don't think she needs the power but if I don't get the 5 now I feel like I'd have to replace the mobo if she needs to upgrade.

    If theres any suggestions yall have to make it more compatible, more pink, cheaper, or more powerful without spending much more, please roast me on it (don't change the case though she's set on that).

    unmuffled engine noise only in 1st gear

    Hey yall, not sure if this is the right place for this, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

    When I accelerate from a stop, I hear what sounds like unmuffled engine noise that sounds like it's coming from near the front of the car. It's not a complete roar like the muffler fell off but it's way louder than I'm used to. After I hit 2nd gear (automatic) the noise essentially stops and it sounds normal again. The sound can't be reproduced in neutral. I inspected what I could and the exhaust line is rusty but doesn't appear to be broken. I also don't see any issues with mileage.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    And if this isn't the right place, can someone direct me to the right place?

    PC wakes up randomly and sometimes logs in after being put to sleep

    Built a gaming PC back in 2018 (windows 10, GTX1080, i7, eset security).

    For the past year or so it wakes up every now and then and for a few months it started waking up to my logged in desktop screen. Hasnt happened for about a month or so but it still eakes up even with my mouse and keyboard disconnected. I don't do any tormenting or anything sketchy. It's a really clean machine built for gaming, YouTube, office work stuff. I don't visit any "low brow" sites (that's what my tablet (not connected to the PC) is for). It didn't start happening after any specific download that I can remember.

    Anyway, I can't find anything relevant online that helps me so I figured I'd ask here if anyone knows what this is about.
