quit screwing with me. hydrogen (1) dioxide (2) is one hydrogen atom, with two oxygen atoms. What is your H2O2 Thing about? I feel bad about you being a heathen. I wish we could all get together, and agree on stuff, but I stick to facts, and not alternate facts.
And by the way, Einstein, Water has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen. Hence H2O, not HO2.
Meanwhile do illegal challenges to voter registrations and voter signatures that require people to drive down to the courthouse on a work day and prove they are who they are in person.
Waitaminit. For decades, liberals have been saying that voting was the mostest importantest right evuh. It's far too important to even ask racist questions, like "Are you a US citizen?" before voting. Now you're telling me that it's not important enough to to validate your identity when your signature doesn't match? Maybe we could do, like, in person voting all on the same day and show an ID at the same time so these kinds of problems wouldn't crop up. Naaaah. it'd never work. Otherwise, other countries would have done it.
Hydrogen Dioxide is water. I thought I would mention that for the Trump supporters, and the vaccine deniers
Thank you for the clearing that up. I see your chemistry knowledge is as comprehensive as your political education. I was totally unaware that H2O2 is water. I always thought that was H2O. All you knowledgeable liberals should make sure to keep pointing out those facts to us uneducated heathens.
Obama's nationalization of student loans has increased the ratio of administrators by 10x by guaranteeing tuition without regard for value.
Boy would I like to see a citation for that bit of wisdom. You werent just completely making shit up, right?
No he's not. I've worked in higher education for several decades. When I first came here, the administrative wing was one side of one floor of one building. Now they have an entire building, filling three floors and are discussing taking over the basement and kicking out the department there. That doesn't even count the administrative departments for marketing, enrollment management, retention, advising and campus life that fills half the student union. Most of that didn't exist back then. Our enrollment is about 20% higher, at around 12,000, than it was when I first started.
IBM poured a ton of money into Linux as did Red Hat and various others. We're happy to let foreigners lead and thrive.
They also poured money into Lennart Poettering which cancels out Linus on the scoreboard.
The wealthy aren't the problem with inflation. Giving money to them (or not taxing it away from them, same thing)
Wow. Just wow. Giving someone money or not taking earned money away from them are the same thing? Karl Marx would be proud of you. I think you mean, the economic effect is the same. Calling them equivalent is the moral argument that the socialists have been pushing forever where "rich" is anyone with more money that the socialist.
Cutting checks to people on the street, that's inflationary because they spend the money on goods. Improving people's standard of living has little to do with giving them money. You need more goods, which then become relatively cheaper within the existing money supply because of the lack of scarcity. That means producing said goods, whether we're talking about consumer stuff or housing.
Tolerating scarcity is the main issue with standard of living, at least in the US.
This we can agree on. This is why I fully support the government assistance class being required to make a work effort. This increases productivity and means more goods and services. Too many liberals think that free government handouts work like a kid's allowance with no economic or social downside. This is how we end up with perpetual generational poverty and eternal government dependence.
Sounds like you live in a place with arseholes. But still it doesn't matter how you sit, pretending your home system can match what you get as good cinema is just laughable. Maybe your problem is your local cinema is shit, in which case ads aren't the reason why you would instead pirate a film.
I never claimed I "matched" it nor do I try. My claim it that it is a far better experience for me. Much cheaper. No distractions. No inconsiderate assholes. Can pause and rewind. No driving and looking for parking. No planning my evening around theater schedules. No ads. Same movie. Good enough.
You're still trying to push the old vinyl vs mp3 type argument again. Enjoy your vinyl if it makes you feel special. I'm happy with my convenient mp3s.
Not sure when that was, but I'll match that. I just couldn't resist wanting to see the Blade Runner sequel
Saw that at the theater. I was disappointed. Saw Solo next. It was so bad, I haven't seen anything Star Wars since. My last trip to the theater was for Joker. The first one, not the musical sequel. I enjoyed it. Not what I expected, but good anyway. But then COVID happened and I beefed up my home theater setup. I have no interest in going back.
Silly comment. Piracy doesn't compare to going to a theatre. You don't have a 90ft wide screen at home
And I'm not sitting 50 feet away from it. I have a 75 inch 4K HDR TV and a Sony sound system. I can sit as close as I want. Or I can fire up my projector on the 120 inch screen.
in a perfectly dark room
Last time I went some idiot kept checking his phone down in front of me. During dark scenes, I would have a big spot my night vision and take time to recover. Still not as bad as the time some asshole was taking pictures of his family during the start of the movie. Flash photography blindness takes much longer to overcome.
real Atmos (as opposed to the gimped consumer version) sound system.
Something I do not care if I miss, just like the teen behind me talking during the whole movie and his girlfriend telling him to shut up. I also don't miss the guy ripping farts for the whole two hours. Can't move because my seat is assigned now.
You weren't going to the theatre in the first place.
Ads just make the experience worse. On my last trip, I took my son and it cost way more than buying the BluRay. A single bucket of popcorn, two drinks and tickets for two cost me $75 bucks. Atmos and a 90 foot screen aren't worth $75 to me especially when you throw in all the other problems.
The problem you miss is that some of us would rather not even pay for the addled video. Prime didn't change its fee when they added video, so give me a video-free alternative at a lower price. I resent paying for something I don't use.
They raised my fee. And kept raising it. That's why I cancelled. I have no desire to pay extra for video I don't watch, Music I don't listen to or whatever else "free" media they want to bundle into my price.
I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
