Bezos, though I dont think it’s a bunker compound.

In this case, it’s just the default number of sig figs Google maps gives. The satellite view literally shows the big hole being dug for the bunker, too.

NZ does the “golden passport” thing, so lots of billionaires have bought citizenship there. Maybe Peter Theil was the one in headlines for making a compound there?

Yeah, I thought it was strange because famously a grand jury will indict anything, but there werent any details in the article, so I looked one up with more detail.

It’s in kauai, hawaii. Specifically, right here:

Like the other commenter noted, these aren’t rich people, they are prepper types. A billionaire isnt getting a $55k bunker.

The guy who did the shooting is apparently a former cop turned EMT.

The person he shot also wasn’t a worker trying to do his job, it was a guy who worked for the company who told a mutual acquaintance that he was going to that guy’s house specifically to attack him. When he got there, he asked the guy if he’d ever killed someone, and then he said he had killed someone with his bare hands. He then started going at the guy, who shot him and then immediately rendered aid.

Not to defend a guy eho is probably a nutjob and a jerk, it sounds like a reasonable act of self defense to me.

It can be relatively cheap if you dont care about having an extreme range. I know someone who turned an old beetle electric, and it just runs off of ~10 lead acid batteries if i remember right. Not a huge range, but enough to go to work and get groceries.

They wouldnt be too smart if they were, because it’s not a meat allergy, it’s an alpha -galactose allergy, which is a sugar present in most mammals that people eat, but also many other foods, like carageenan, which is in many vegan products and medicine.

If you are speaking English the correct pronunciation is different than if you are speaking French.

Similar to Paris, information, service, raisin, journal, and many, many other words that are used in both languages.

The English word croissant is pronounced something like krə-sänt, though I’m sure there’s plenty of regional variation.

It’s actually pretty easy to tell that its the cars, not the phones. The fatality statistics all record the vehicle involved, so you can use the rates with smaller/older cars to adjust for any changes in infrastructure or phone usage.

Yeah, but I suppose even then, you probably wouldnt be hunted down by the police for slandering a random person, it would only be if you insulted someone wealthy/powerful?

Yeah, sales taxes is generally bad because it is regressive. The fact that it can capture revenue from non-locals is one of the main benefits.

The fake leather is polyurethane, which goes through hydrolysis. Basically humidity destroys the bonds.

Hopefully I can cunningham’s law a more intelligent response, but libel and defamation aren’t “illegal” as in the police will arrest you for it, it’s a civil violation, so the target of that libel would have to sue you for it.

Different countries have different bars for proving defamation. Famously, British media avoids calling drunk people drunk, and instead uses “tired and emotional” or similar, because if you say someone was drunk, but you can’t prove it, you are liable if they sue. Contrast that to the US, where if you sue someone for calling you drunk, you have to prove that they would know that they are lying.

Both methods are subject to abuse, but since suing costs money, it’s more often a weapon of the privileged, so I prefer the US method.

Not just political

That’s not a recycling symbol, it’s a “resin identification code”. They just make it looks like the recycling symbol to trick people.

You’re making a good point, but I think it’s also equally pretty weird to just dismiss a facet of someone’s humanity. It feels a little bit to me like the whole “I just pretend everyone is white”-approach.

I think there’s too much nuance to make a hard rule on it. I’ve worked with someone who’s go-to way to describe people was always ethnicity/perceived nationality-based to a weird extent, never with anything negative, but it was still jarring. Like he would say “the Bosnian guy who works with Steve” instead of "the guy who works with Steve ".

I would also find it strange if someone treated someone’s race like it was a bad word. Like, I think it would be fairly natural to say “what’s the name of the black guy who works in the shop?”, and much less natural to say “whats the name of the person in the shop who often wears black pants, and said they were a fan of that new TV show, and they said they were from Oklahoma, and …”

“East Asian” also feels needlessly specific

This might be a regionalism. In the US, someone from India wouldnt be called Asian (even though India is obviously in Asia), but (in my understanding) in UK English, “Asian” will be used for both south Asian as well as east Asian folks, so it’s probably more normal there.

I think it just comes down to which people groups migrated in the largest numbers to which place first.

The idea that we could accidentally create a superintelligence is a psy-op by the companies looking to boost their stocks.

During peak pollen season, there are a few things that really help me. One is rinsing my face after I’ve been outside for a bit, particularly if I’ve been sweaty and/or moving quickly (like running or biking).

The other has been having an air purifier in my bedroom.
