Ok, that's a lie. We use almost all LED's thought we have a few CFLs that haven't yet given up the ghost. I love my light at 3500-4000K. We also gave up our landline once we got fiber internet and now just do the VOIP thing. We do use the postal service far more than we should. It's tough giving up checks. *shrug*

This has merit! Why didn't I think of that before. Mostly likely because monitors don't have a built in VCR or DVD player!

Yes, it does use a lot of energy. It's one of the things I love about it. I'm also still using incandescent bulbs, I have a land line and get a lot of postal mail! Someone has to keep these legacy businesses running!

...I still have an old fashioned CRT as my primary TV. I try to sell them on the built in VCR and DVD player and still they wonder. I do have a Roku that I run through a digital to analog converter for the times I want to watch modern content. I will not own a TV that requires an internet connection to work. Nope. No way. Not going to do it. I will now go sacrifice a chicken to the television god and pray he doesn't take "old reliable" from me.

There is no real reason googlers would want to unionize. They get paid Texa$ $ized $alarie$. Unions only happen when management craps on labor for long enough that labor gets fed up. Everyone I know that works at Google is super happy with things.

Hilarious to think they actually want to ban it. This is political speak for, "Your industry really needs to up their campaign funding or we are coming for you. We know you have a lot of money laying around, time to spend it on us or we'll have to hurt you." Classic protection scheme.

If I had to guess....use them in weapons of war.

My Samsung was made in South Korea. I doubt it was made in the same conditions (or worse) than iPhones at Foxconn

Must be that "new math" they teach kids these days. Wind and nuclear energy both emit zero CO2 during their normal operation. Now, if you want to discuss how much CO2 is necessary to create wind or nuclear capacity that is a fair argument, but it's also a different argument.

Meta's operating profit was ~40%. They have been making money hand over fist for the past decade. It's been a long time since they been in the business of making money. They've just been able to do it and grow at the same time. Meta, Google and other social media companies are running into the problem that they are really just a big advertiser. As times get tough, the advertising budget is the first to go as companies look at ways to reduce their cost to acquire new customers.

Square is a decade old, has >8,000 employees and over $17 billion in revenue last year. They are far removed from being a startup.

"White people"? I think now would be a good time to point out all the women and people of color that helped NASA along the way!

If Ukraine had welcome Russia with open arms, there would have been no soldiers murdering and raping. You see, this is indeed the fault of the nazi satanist Ukrainians, forcing Russian soldiers into murdering and raping civilians.

I think the truth is that Russian military/state hackers are not as competent as the Russian criminal/mafia hackers. Simplest explaination.

The manual tweaking kept a lot of people in a very good living!
