On the other hand, I grew up driving manual, as most people in Europe, and my first time driving an automatic I was rolling up to the car rental exit and I pressed the brake as hard as I usually press the clutch. It was not fun for anyone in the car.
Then over the next few days of road trip, everyone else in the car had their turn at driving and we all did it 2 or 3 times, so it became an inside joke.
If this house took 2 days to build and costs 5k, I’ll take it.
I’m not sure you understand what south means. It’s not “on the bottom of a map”, it’s “towards the south pole”. The south pole is in the middle of the linked map. On Antarctica.
Nope. You could as well say: Mediterranean Sea, north of Antarctica.
I have two dollars, less than infinity.
The temperature is pleasant, higher than absolute zero.
Doesn’t add anything. There are no seas south of Antarctica.
Only 60 calories!
That’s already happening, how do you want the government to legislate against Russian, Chinese or American actors?
super hard to tell where electricity for certain computing task is coming from. What if I use 100% renewable for ai training offsetting it by using super cheap dirty electricity for other tasks
who will audit what electricity is used for anyway? Any computer will have an government sealed rootkit?
offshore
a million problems that require more attention, from migration, to Healthcare, to economy
Of all the things governments should regulate, this is probably the least important and ineffective one.
They deny that it wasn’t?
Then almost any blatant lie would be gaslighting, which I don’t think fits the meaning. My understanding is there are more necessary attributes for a situation to be “gaslighting”, mainly the manipulation and dependency.
If someone lies about what they said in writing (in the age of internet archive of all things) it’s just a plain lie, and a dumb one at that.
How is that not just lying?
Gaslighting (if my understanding is correct) is manipulating someone. Making someone question their own sanity, blaming them, isolating from other people and making them dependent on you.
Lying on the internet to win a stupid argument with a stranger hardly can even start to measure to that.
I have never seen an online discussion where gaslighting was used. People usually just learned the term and they think it’s a synonym for lying.
Well, what has Kamala Harris done to prevent the deportation of her family? Why didn’t she warn the public more that trump would do this? In the end, it’s her fault this happened!
Yeah, but he does it on live TV. If they willfully ignored aaaaaallll of the signals… I hope they have the day they voted for.
Another example: gears. You have a small wheel moving a large wheel trading speed for torque (or vice versa).
Beige?
Journalism is nearly dead. You can see that everyday, even here on lemmy. Everyone praising adblockers, ranting about paywalls and then shocked that journalism quality worsens. Who would go into journalism these days? And even when you already are, why put your life in danger doing investigative journalism?
The hard part to muscle-learn was to leave the left foot alone and just use the right one.
