That's really old! Wolfram says it's: 5.57458576 x 10^196 years old!

I'll add Geocaching to this list. Walk around, find hidden caches and solve puzzles.

It's not focused on the walking places but instead on the finding of caches. I personally need to get out and do some that involve going on hikes!

I bought a steam deck and have been checking every day waiting for it to arrive... Or even be shipped! They finally packaged the damn thing!

But I'd rather look at what modern people are doing and saying.

We would too but unfortunately fascists pretend that they're not fascist by claiming their political party freed the slaves.

This obviously ignores their bigotry and hate for people of color and distaste for women.... And well, I digress. Suffice to say that these assholes try to claim they're not racist despite all the racist bullshit and hate they spread, and they use this claim as proof.

We would love to ignore it but we can't. Best we can do is inform ourselves.

That article gets cut off. I could remove it on my computer but I figured the archive would work.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong though. Whenever I scroll down the page gets reloaded.

Edit: I kept going back and eventually found a snapshot that worked https://web.archive.org/web/20190212082650/https://medium.com/s/story/paw-patrol-is-a-republican-dystopia-f178161fce54

You know I don't work with fractions of an inch on a daily basis... Or even monthly. But inevitably a couple times a year it's relevant. Every single time I have to take 3/4 multiply it by 2 and get 6/8, then I have to subtract 1/8 to get to 5/8. Repeat ad nauseum to get to whatever time fraction is needed.

It's frustrating and slow and makes me feel dumb.

That said last time I did it, I measured a 1/8th difference between cabinets we ordered from IKEA and the space they went in and I'll tell you what, I felt like a genius when it all just fit, perfectly.

I mean that's cool but also not really a rebuttal to the user above. Now the person above is not correct. Kids absolutely know when they're getting the short end of a deal or at least when it comes to stuff they care about. And Congress didn't give a flying fuck about the good of the children or we'd have a food guarantee for all children and single prayer health care already.

Pshh I bet you use acoustic time.

Amazon is a company in the technology sector. They might be a retailer but they are also a part of big tech and the foundation of much of the Internet. A large portion of their workforce are tech workers.

Articles like this are not focused on warehouse employees, they have to go into the office to do their jobs at all. This article is talking about people who don't have to go into work to perform their job... Like tech workers.

So like it or not, this is tech news.

Hopefully this will include groceries. I hate when I go to buy something and it says $9.99 and I get up to the register and they hit me with this stupid, obnoxious hidden fee!

I only have a $10 bill, it says it costs less then $10. Why is it not false advertising to have it say $9.99 when it costs $12.37 at the register?

The whole thing is a scam.

There's some weirdness going on with how Ukraine didn't ban Nazi symbols relating to this unit.

In Canada courts determined they couldn't condemn the unit as a whole which is not cool but you can condemn individuals.

But the real truth seems to be that this poster is posting anti-Ukraine propaganda. By reading deeper into the subtext, and in light of Russian propaganda where they propose that Ukrainians are nazis. This would seem to indicate that the OP is a pro-russian sympathizer.

I hope this catches on. I have trouble breathing in extreme heat and naming heatwaves seems like a good way to retaliate.
