To get sorted to the top of the lists for biggest discount. To claim bigger losses in copyright infringement cases. And to increase the perceived immediacy to buy it to get a good deal to take advantage of impulse buying whereas if they have time to think about it they may not buy it at all. Plus rich people don't care how much something costs, so you'll get a few of them here and there buying it at full price.

You'd need to be able to replace the coatings on them. The scratch would likely be the easier part. The coatings might be hard to get. Most sold commercially are not as permanent and industrial ones are either very proprietary or require expensive equipment that wouldn't be worth it for a one pair of lenses.

And the Republicans that lose this year will do everything in their power to create as many lawsuits as possible so they can't possibly be worked out by next Jan. And they'll draw out those to avoid having to provide evidence and that will be the justification for the next insurrection attempts, likely widespread ones at all levels of government.

It's pretty fucked up. But maybe the solution is to make nudity more acceptable in the society. It's not a coincidence that South Korea is such a big target for it because sex and nudity are so taboo there. The US is not that much better, but enough that it doesn't feel as invasive to as much of the population and thus it doesn't have as much value to people using it to shame and control women. But of course that takes generations to change and would require a lot of women to do unsafe things to affect the change. So it's not something that will happen quickly.

Citizens stop having kids because they can't afford them, government fines them and makes rape, I mean traditional values, more acceptable instead of making rich people stop hoarding all the cash.

Which is why this will be fleeting if it ever gets implemented at all. Companies won't allow it until they can spin it to their satisfaction. For now if it's just CA, they can say "oh crazy CA and their crazy regulations" just like they say about the cancer warnings which actually are quite useful in reducing your lifetime cumulative exposure even if the chemicals from a single product won't kill you immediately.

Money should not be considered speech and healthcare should not be something only corporations can afford.

Docker automatically upgrades if you tell it to by specifying "latest" or not specifying a version number. But it only upgrades if you issue the pull command or the compose up command. There are ways to start without a pull like using start or restart. So yes, there was warning and something you did actively told it to upgrade.

And it's really bad practice to update any software without testing, especially between breaking/major version numbers.

Finally, it's not uncommon for a platform to release its update and then the plugins or addons to follow. Especially with major updates that require lots of testing before release. This allows plugin/add-on makers to fully test their software with the release version of the platform rather than all of the plugin makers having to wait for one that may be lagging behind.

Usually only in an emergency when stuff freezes up and I can't use the mouse to control windows anymore.

Only it often didn't work properly because no medically trained person will participate. Nor should they because they must "do no harm". So most of the time, the guards have no idea how to tell if someone is reacting to pain and don't understand the actual effects of the drugs.

Soft cookies can be make by changing the recipe slightly and not risk salmonella poisoning or other infections.

More green if nothing goes wrong and in the short term. I'm not saying fossil fuels are the answer. I believe they need to be phased out ASAP.

But there are lots of alternatives that are lower cost to build, lower cost to operate, lower cost in case of accidents, and exponentially lower cost to future generations relates to waste storage.

Which is why you aren't the target of the meme. It's the city dwellers who never leave the city but have a 2 ton pickup that barely fits in the narrower, low speed lanes in cities and take up 2-4 compact parking spots who are the target.

In the past they have always said that they aren't transmitting the content and so it's the responsibility of the transmitter of the data. Now the content at least appears to be coming from youtube not the advertisers. So I'm curious if that's enough to make it fall under section 230 which would require that they make a good faith effort to remove "objectionable" content.

Right I only got as far as talking about the ionizing radiation itself not even what happens if the radioation emitting materials themselves escape and so other types of radiation become dangerous through ingestion, not just incidental exposure.

And who is going to pay the trillions of dollars to develop those technologies to reduce the ionizing radiation into a usable product? The energy companies won't because they'd go bankrupt. And what happened when we left companies to dispose of the waste? They sank it to the bottom of the ocean in barrels that some have since resurfaced. So instead we tried to build a temporary solution by dumping it in a mountain bunker, but that was too costly and we gave up and it's all just sitting out in the open still in every country with nuclear power. No country has come up with a solution yet and that solution is part of the cost of generating the energy.

So how is nuclear power profitable if it's exorbitantly expensive to store it indefinitely and exponentially more expensive to develop the technology to make it slightly safer to store indefinitely. And it costs billions and takes decades to decommission a reactor once it's exceeded its lifespan. Which is why three mile island is still there and containment is still necessary. Again, how is nuclear power cost effective in the long term?

Yes, yes they are. If you aren't familiar with the industry ask a cabbie who has worked in an entertainment area of a major city at night how many times they've cleaned up vomit, urine, feces, blood, or any other bodily fluids.

Step 3: Log in and select your account to pay from. Don’t worry, we have security covered. 🤣

Yeah, scam or not, this method of getting your account and routing information is not at all secure. I'm actually more surprised that the banks allow another site to initiate the login with a plaintext password. This defies all decent security practices.

Enough people believe women are lesser beings (including many women which is especially sad), mostly because the religious texts almost all say as much, but also hubris. So it's always been accepted by the majority of societies that if there's a chance of brining one male child into this world, that's more important than the mother, not only that but worth all the deaths of all the women who were evil enough to want to not be forced to give birth.

Amazon sends me open, broken, defective, and/or outright used items all the time these days. So I have a lot of returns, and if I get two in a row, I take a refund instead because their whole inventory of that item is probably too polluted to get a new one. If only there were any other ways to get some things, I'd quit buying from them, but with the lack of small specialty stores, even in cities, it's so hard to find so many things in physical stores anymore, and smaller online stores can't compete, especially for items that need to be tried a lot to find the right size or type.

Fascism needs you to fear the "others". Health and money are the two biggest problems in people's lives right now so making the "others" look like they're coming after those things you already are very close to losing is an easy way to scare people. So taxes, vaccines, etc., are big targets. And as a bonus, they then get to take those things from the people instead; and people willingly hand them to them...for safe keeping or something...I don't know....
