I would totally pay for YouTube premium if they weren’t so good about making me watch my favorite gun-tubers on other platforms. Every channel has this endless and constantly changing list of words they can’t say for fear of being demonetized.

Fuck them indeed.

Break up the monopoly and I won’t need to block your ads because I’ll be able to go elsewhere.

Ugh I don’t know which is worse. Next timeline, portal gun.

Tool cabinets are a marvelous thing. I have a little thing squirreled away in a drawer of other tools, just the top of a box that a screen protector came in, that is just full of tiny specialized precision tools that I very seldom need.

I’m not an Aussie and I’m not following this in particular, but from what I’ve seen that’s how bad ideas work: you don’t want to start a dialogue where the noes point out all the flaws in your ideas. In the US the extreme of this is legislation passed in a specially coordinated session at midnight with an absolute minimum of debate.

With that said, why the hell does a budgeted program belong in a constitution and not in a regular legislated budget? And why the hell does one specific group need specific recognition defined at the level of a constitution, as opposed to broad rules changed in such a way that their specific exclusion is forbidden with a catch all that also benefits other minorities?

I think one key difference is that Israel has compulsory service for everyone. Like if in the 1770s the Torrey soldiers on leave held a music festival and they all got gunned down, I’m fairly certain the history books would not change substantially. It’s abhorrent, but if you were in the same situation - occupation by some analogous group to wherever you live who have overwhelming military superiority - would you give up your Identity and assimilate, or try to make them hurt? I’m absolutely NOT saying Palestinians are the good guys, I’m just saying I understand where they’re coming from.

"I would love to live here"photo looks like a typical suburb - with a population density that is at a level where everyone still needs to own a car. I’m thinking European cities like Bern. Most people don’t need one to get to work but basically every household still needs one for non-work use.

Car-free population density should be more like minor Japanese cities (like Kanazawa, etc), or old towns in Europe (downtown Bordeaux).

I know we only ever see a handful of rooms, that’s fine, but with over 100 crew they always all have personal quarters that are probably the square footage of 3/4’ish containers.

150m in diameter is one way to think about it. But then it’s also 8 containers long, or 25 containers circumference at the largest point down to no more than a few in circumference at the bridge.

You know, that seems tiny, it’s like there’s no volume left for the hardware that needs to be between every room and all over the hull

You are correct. YouTube is tricky for several reasons, and hard to prosecute because the true monopoly is discovery (because everyone uses it).

Content can be consumed anywhere, you can follow some niche creator on Patreon, but YouTube is realistically the only place you’ll discover them.

YouTube chooses to demonetize and outright ban perfectly legal and normal content that happens to disagree with their politics. On it’s face this is okay, they’re a private company after all, but the insidious thing is that entire subjects may as will not exist for you know because YouTube bans them.

100%. Alphabet’s YouTube business needs to be next.

Woah, only USD 12 for a GENUINE fake cracked copy someone first downloaded from a torrent?

Passenger door to passenger door doubles the available space for your door to open on the driver’s side. Especially important with kids you need to get in and out where you can’t just slip through.
