The link you decided not to follow gives a lot of context. Although in French, which I do not speak.

These people weren’t murdered at Dachau. They are being cremated there, after dieing aboard the prisoner transport train from the Royallieu-Compiègne internment camp.

The German Wikipedia about the Sonderkommando photographs describes those as the only surviving photos taken by prisoners inside the camps.

Rage bait

Almost no matter how you do it, it’s going to be a horrible waste of good drinking water to try to extract cooling from the temperature of the water. If you are in a dry climate, make a DIY swamp cooler. Otherwise shell out for a small AC unit.

Also; using your free lease-included water for stuff like that, is probably the quickest way to no longer have water included in your lease…

No fucking way. I ain’t gonna’ die fighting for the inflated egos, of the morons in charge of the world powers and their ass-lickers. I’d gather up my loved ones and leave in a heartbeat, if my country started forced conscription. I’m not enough of a nationalist to die “for king and fatherland”, no matter how much i like this little country.

Wonder if they could make an explosive filled Cessna stealthy enough for that…

We take the protection of your personal information very seriously

Fuck, I loathe this corporate bullshit phrase. Obviously you didn’t take it serious enough, now did you? For some reason this phrase really grinds my gears. Fair enough that you had a data breach and so on, but don’t brush off the issue like this…

Well, kinda. Vaccines are tools for “educating” your immune system. Classical vaccines generally work by providing “dead”/harmless examples of a particular infection, so that your immune system will recognize the real thing and stop it early, so it doesn’t develop to much. The immune system takes a while to get going, so “teaching” it in advance makes a huge difference against aggressive, quick acting infections.

The mRNA vaccines skip most of the “learning phase” and provide the body directly with the template to produce the right antibodies. And this is where the “cure”-part comes in. The whole problem with cancer is that it consists of a variation of your own cells. Which is why the immune system won’t target it. It’s not an infection or foreign. To your immune system it’s just another part of you. mRNA can be used to tell the immune system to attack it anyway, leveraging it against the cancer. But it requires a sample of the cells to be attacked, so as to make the right mRNA for the particular instance of cancer. So it’s not really useable as a preventative thing. At least not yet…

Well, the alternative is a good chance of dieing from cancer and/or radiation poisoning. So even if mRNA vaccines did actually mess with DNA, I’d take the chance for a permanent cure.

Yes, but we also have proportional representation in our parliaments. Making gradual ideological change realistic.

Oh you cheeky little…

That depends on where you live though. Here in Denmark, as an example, we have a certificate called “Statskontrolleret økologisk” which basically translates to “Government-certified organic”. There are specific guidelines and rules that need to be followed, to be allowed to use this seal on your product.

I find myself thinking this a lot. Someone goes; “and that’s my theory about…” And I’m like; that’s not a theory, that’s a hypothesis…

Personally I’ve had really good luck with the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and R7800 models. They are supported by openWRT as well if you are into that. An issue might be that they are “only” WiFi 5 units. Some of the newer models in the Nighthawk series might be just as good, but i don’t have personal experience with those…

The suggestion of not owning games refers to having subscription-based access to them; as of yet only ever offered as a suggested alternative to purchasing games, which is still very much an option.

That is exactly the problem though. How long will it be until the subscription model is no longer an option but the only option? Because i would bet money on that being the actual goal.

A representation of everything that’s wrong with the modern tech industry…

TIL: the Brits call the sidewalk “pavement”. I thought this was completely unreasonable at first…

An order of magnitude more. It’s nearly half a terabyte.
