Got banned from a Ukranian community in three comments, they don't know how to have any fun over there. Anyway, I've never posted on here before, but you all seem chill.

"Methane production used to be viewed as a problem at cattle ranches and dairy farms, but methane itself is a highly energetic biogas that can be used as fuel. Harnessing it might prove difficult considering that current social graves do not favor open flatulence even for the sake of renewable energy. However, certain diets richer in alfalfa and flaxseed have been proven to reduce methane production in cows, which could potentially solve that problem (13)."

They can't really take away our treats, can they? I was told by Fox that the climate was made up by Big Climate.

I mean why? Wouldn't it be much more realistic and relatable if the ad was like "oh thank fuck I'm not pregnant"

I can only assume that by “dream collection” they are talking about the act of collecting your hopes and dreams to smash them up and turn them into shareholder value

Firefox on desktop has an amazing feature that might not have been brought to your attention. It does translation locally which means on your computer instead of sending all the info to "the cloud" (aka unknown parties for unspecified reasons). As far as I know the only zero-effort local translation tool available. A tool to somewhat mitigate the isolation of anglo chauvinism.

Instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/website-translation?redirectslug=website-translation-redirect-1&redirectlocale=en-US#w_translate-the-full-page

This is a feature built directly into the browser, not an extension and not an external application. You have to store some require language model files on your computer but this process is completely effortless and invisible. It can fetch only required pieces as you go, or download complete models for any languages you want. (I downloaded all available languages and it used about 1 GB of storage-- which is very reasonable.)

If you want, it can translate automatically when it detects the page is in another language. It doesn't work perfectly but you can always manually initiate it.

The page is translated as you scroll. This is a little annoying because ctrl-f or other page-wide actions doesn't work as expected; you must scroll to the bottom of the page to translate the whole thing.

You may also translate only a portion by selecting and right-clicking.

The URL remains the same so if you copy, bookmark or share it, you are dealing with the original link. So unlike other translation services google doesn't insert itself into all your links. But then you can't share a direct link to the translation in this way-- because that data does not leave your computer.

Current languages lean heavily toward to Euro sadly. But it has expanded a lot lately.

  • Vietnamese

This tracker lists languages that are still in progress but are available in a beta-type release. So if you really need one of the languages not listed above you might be able to get it in developer or nightly. It also tells you how good it thinks the particular model is. You can see in the github issues they are working on languages considered easy and hard.

There's a spectre haunting this labor day weekend: great deals on used automobiles!

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of struggle to buy used Ford, Honda, Toyotas, and more at low low prices.

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs...and everyone needs to pay less than 2% down at signing regardless of credit history!

You have nothing to lose but great savings on all our used mid-sized pre-owned cars!

Any attempt to disarm workers of financing as low as 5% interest after six months must be frustrated.

Workers of the world unite..this labor day weekend around all our great deals on every major brand.

Literally an apartheid state and we're rooting for characters that are committed to "keeping it safe" (this means further militarizing the border between Piltover and the undercity and killing children on accident and feeling really bad about it). There's plot elements that expose how bad Piltover is for undercity citizens, but that's just the other half of both-sidesing the issue and calling it a cycle of violence. No, the REAL and IMMEDIATE threat is Silco, the guy actually committed to resistance against apartheid Piltover and even the Good and Right characters are opposed to him - to the point that they're more willing to work with Piltover, the state that has been oppressing them their whole lives and which they constantly talk about how its oppressed them their whole lives, to take him down. There's even the gem at the end where Piltover is on the verge of granting the undercity sovereignty and freedom to end the fighting, but then someone decides to fire a fucking rocket straight into the room this decision is being made in. It almost feels 1 for 1 equivalents being made to Israel and Palestine based on hasbara narratives.

For $54, $13, or even $4 a month I found a plan!

Oh that sounds cool! Fuck you employer plan that costs hundreds a month! Get me on that Healthcare.Gov plan!

Some basic questions ....you make above our outdated poverty wage. Your employer offers a "qualified plan" therefore deny-defend-depose NO SOUP FOR YOU! However if you want a worse plan that costs more then some 3rd party of a 3rd party will be more than happy to depart you with your hard earned post tax dollars.

porky-happy Are you retired but not Medicare age? LOL get back to work slave! That'll be $500 / month! Sucker!

Are you 26 and living with your parents because no employer gives a shit about thr Bachlors technical degree the world told you needed to get a job outside of McDonald's fry snitch? Well we can make a debt slave out of you!

Fucking sick ass joke country.
