So was this just a purely "everyone's doing it, so the customers (shareholders) expect it, so we'll follow suit" type thing? Do mass layoffs inspire confidence in the stock so it goes up? It's hard to understand from a rational position that throwing away money makes money for the investors.
I think what's incredibility obvious to you and I is an area of willful and encouraged ignorance for some who benefit from the results of their ignorance. I think that the media is largely complicit is beyond distasteful, but it's also the reality we live in.
I also think it's important for wikipedia to work through their own NPOV policies. It should be applauded that they eventually arrived at the correct conclusion, AND moreso that they spent time considering and discarding contrary positions.
Accepting one particular viewpoint with no consideration is dogmatism, and is not helpful to progressive causes.
Nova was acquired by a data analytics company. That's the last build prior to the acquisition.
Just to explain why people are confused:
If it were 100% of men voting Trump, and 100% of women voting Harris, your math would give a 200% swing, so you're essentially double counting. Divide by 2 to get the actual swing %.
Good point. Guess it just indicates how unpredictable he is. Just like how he said he'd build a wall, then built a little chunk of wall. It's all about doing the minimum possible to placate his base.
I'm just here trying to get a grasp on what the actual implications of his presidency are going to be. :/
Will it be climate change? [...] Will it be ai?
Why not both? :)
Half eaten salad? No, he'd never eat any of a salad. Not enough cholesterol.
Yeah, sure, he doesn't care about tradition, I get that. But it also seems to me Trump has always been fairly anti-China. Ofc he's also plenty happy to misrepresent his intent if it makes his base happy, so maybe that part was just a facade?
Isn't this a bit of a predicament for Trump? Traditionally the US has supported Taiwan's independence, and it seems to me that'd be continued under Trump's "China bad" rhetoric/policy. However, getting chummy with Putin might require rescinding support for Taiwan's independence.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks, fixed!
I really wanted to like DS. The world seems really interesting, and so does the story. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance, but I found the gameplay to swing between boring and frustrating, with a side of gorgeous scenery.
I was going to make pizza on Friday, but I messed up when stretching my dough, and it seized up, so I had to rest it and re-rise, and so change of plans!
I had left over curry and just made the tofu cutlets by shallow frying in a small pan to minimize oil usage.
As always, any questions or feedback welcome, and happy to provide recipes if anyone wants them! ^_^
I happened across some store bought vegan pepperoni, and decided I'd do one of the most simple pizzas in existance: the NY style pepperoni pizza. It totally wasn't because I was lazy and it takes like almost zero effort.
My dough caught on the peel as I was shimmying it on to the griddle, so I kinda got this weird teardrop-shaped pizza. Oh well. (:
There's really just something very comforting about a basic-ass slice like this. It's not fancy or pretentious, just delicious.
So I've decided to make pizza every Friday this summer. This is #3, but I declined to post the first two because they contained a slightly controversial brand plant based meat substitute.
This one has vegan blue cheese, caramelized onions, button mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, balsamic reduction and pear slices. I meant to add a bit of arugula, but I forgot. A little fresh basil probably would have been good too.
Oh yeah, I was going to have it last night (y'know, on Friday like I said) but some stuff came up so I had to delay a night.
Feel free to ask for any recipes or whatever! I generally follow Adam Ragusa's NY style pizza recipe, but he's not vegan so if you don't want to give him additional traffic, I can probably answer any questions you might have.
If you have any suggestions for my next pizza, I'd love to hear it! ^^
I've been learning to cook all sorts of Indian recipes lately. The samosa are store bought, cuz who has time for that. Everything else is made from scratch. I'll probably get around to makeing my own samosas too, some day.
Will post recipes if anyone is interested. ^^
A riff on the classic NY style pizza. Obviously with all the extra toppings, and a cheddar style "cheese", it's not in any way accurate, but it's what I happened to have on hand.

You are kinda right, though:
