Hey there bud, we’d totally be down to help you out there but whatever you caught seems to already be making Alberta sick and we don’t want it catching on any worse up here, eh. We’re not really big on the whole conquering thing these days either (turns out there’s consequences to that). We’ll bring some matches and have a good 'ole pork roast at the White House when you’re ready though, eh.

No, they can’t. They can’t see that their family, their friends, their communities are as good as dead, regardless of which set of monsters are butchering them. They want to believe that there’s a world this ends in freedom for their kin, often because it would cost them too much to give up hope.
“Value” is a term so ambiguous, it’s actually worse than not saying anything.
Several of those are going to be perennial and end up competing with mono-culture crops the following year(s) (not that I’m trying to defend mono-culture crops, but that’s what they’re planting). It’s a good idea, but not necessarily as simple as you’re implying. Still it’s an idea that’s not without some merit. The biggest obstacle to adoption is no one is making a significant profit off of it, so it’s unlikely to see much uptake.
I love Shadowrun. Sure, it’s still a grim dark dystopia where megacorps and their puppet states are grinding mankind into paste with senseless war, murder, destruction and debauchery, rogue AIs are devastating us while tech industries keep us pacified with digital drugs and bigotry is keeping us weak and divided, but at least there’s actual elves and dragons and stuff.

When it comes to HP, just say no.
Technically speaking, Tariffs only exist on imports. Export taxes are an entirely separate category of tax. You are correct though, the logical thing for China to do is to run at a state-subsidized loss with CXMT until everyone else has left the market before raising prices. You know, basically pulling a Walmart with state help.
Buoyancy. It has weight, but if it’s lighter than air, it still floats.
We need to organize a proper rebellion before we get to guillotines and starting with unions is a place to work from.
Or that a battery powered dumpster is a pickup truck?
I mean, at its heart, Mac OS is a heavily re-tooled fork of the BSD platform, so it’s not inconceivable that it’s light enough to run on 8G. I doubt it would run well on 8G, but it could do it.
He pointed to the laptop’s 8GB of “unified memory,” or what amounts to its RAM, and how customers can’t upgrade it.
Given the price of RAM, you’d need to sell a kidney to upgrade it in a Windows laptop these days, so that’s not much of a difference, although 8MB is a little skimpy, I’ll give him that one.
There have been a few studies. Most estimates put it at around 20% of men engage in actively degrading behaviour, sexual harassment, or have had a history of sexual assault, with between 5-8% actually engaging in violence. It isn’t everyone, but it is around 1 in 5 which is not a small group that could be classified as “Creeps.” It’s a lot higher percentage of the population than, for example, the percentage of violent extremists among Muslims.
Before the Artificers it was the rangers who were “stealing the stealth thunder from the rogue.” Heck, I remember in 3rd ed when people said the Bard was “stealing the Rogue’s lunch” because their skill mastery made them decent with traps.

… yes… not fair at all…
What does slash dotted mean?
Old term from the dawn of time. Slashdot is quite possibly the largest tech forum in history. It was fairly common for small sites to get mentioned or promoted on slashdot, only for the overwhelming traffic to crash whatever it was that was being discussed. A mass surge in traffic that causes a website to fail became known as being Slashdotted.
I wouldn’t say there’s been no coverage of the consequences of market consolidation, it’s just not breaking into mainstream consciousness. Given our historical pattern of recognizing a problem -> ignoring it for 30-40 years until it becomes a crisis -> then panicking when the damage has already become a death spiral, now would be the expected time for the first alarm bells to start going off.

I think the previous poster was attempting a joke in clanker-speak. It wasn’t a particularly funny joke, but an attempt was made.
On a second offence I have to agree. He’s made himself an ongoing risk to the community at large at this point.
