“No. They aren’t. You can only keep them for eggs in some places.”

I call bullshit.

There is no U.S. state where it is illegal to kill your own chickens or where you are restricted solely to keeping them for eggs. While California has strict humane slaughter laws ( California Humane Slaughter Act) and various localities have zoning restrictions, home slaughter for personal consumption is generally legal throughout the United States, provided it is done humanely

Well despite it, I think his bombings still kinda pale in comparison to the ones US pulls.

Whenever I see an article with something I’m not sure who it’s being pushed by and why, I tend to check the profile.

If there’s several posts a day but several weeks since they last commented on anything, I usually disregard the article, because I’m too lazy to find out what agenda the account is pushing.

I love the implication that the Rapture happens via balloons and harnesses.

I don’t know, but I need to see that.

I can. But I can’t exist in polite society. So… here we are.

I’ll be the first to say “well done, you”. I only got 32 could’ve easily spulrged at least for 64.

Oh yeah that might be the one I’m remembering. Idk there were so fucking many it’s gross

I think that was still very much a thing at least a decade after Britney became legal.

Gif reminder that Daenerys is 13 at the start of GoT. But ofc the actress was 24 in s1 so not really anything controversial.

I can’t say for sure that actresses ages were tracked as much but I remember like sites showing countdowns to when Emma Watson became of legal age. I’m the same age roughly so it wasn’t weird for me but it was weird that people did it.

And still do.

I thought it was a joke up until… today.

Idk “account tenure” sounds like “if you signed up when we first opened in 2015 we prolly don’t need an id”

But what do i know

Yeah I’ve had mine for roughly the same time. It’s kinda annyoing being anywhere without smart lighting. You have to shut off lights before going to bed, instead of shutting them off after you’ve climbed under the covers.

And having to put on the lights just to go have a piss in the middle of the night? That would wake me up too much. So I just put on a few red low lights to roughly see where things are without waking myself up.

Then again anyone super into privacy wouldn’t probably love these, as as far as I know, having several WiFi using bulbs on the ceiling also means that anyone with access to the data could actually function as movement sensors. So the metadata Hue has about me (or at least could access if they wanted to) would tell them when I’m in bed or in the kitchen or having guests or whatnot. Apparently it’s based on the attenuation of the signal strength and based on those numbers you can “see” the object moving from the signal strength changes.

Oh apparently to use it myself I’d need a Hue Pro Bridge, but they came up with the system on the old one. Now the pro version has an analyser in it so makes it work better.

I sort of knew some of this, I think, but definitely not all of it, nor as succinctly.

Thanks!

I mean yeah they are RGBWW if you put it like that but wouldn’t RGB already include different temps of white? So all of my bulbs are Hue, and yes, they were somewhat of an investment even though my apt is not that huge. Like 300e total years ago though, for uhmm the basic 250e colour set, 5 e27 bulbs hub and remote, and then later I also bought two e14s.

But the LED panel I have is actually a 300w growlight. I couldn’t put it on full I’d burn my eyes. But it serves very well as light therapy on the mildest setting. It’s not got any adjustments except a dimmer though.

Or go full high-tech and install lights with adjustable color temperature.

I may be ahead of the curve a bit. Adjustable colour temp didn’t seem enough. My whole apartment has RGB bulbs since about 5-6 years ago. I just couldn’t go back to on/off one shade lights ugh.

Also I rock a 300w LED panel to get a bit more brightness in my winter days, but that’s not RGB though.

I mean the video is from before 2016 (as that’s when Stephen left QI) and in the part where they’re saying that, they’re quoting something which was already a quote, and it begins with “many years ago…”

Yeah unfortunately for you I think the post is bullshit. People die on planes all the time. I mean, enough for airlines to have protocols for it.

They used to just put people in first class seats with shades and a newspaper but apparently that was “insensitive”.

I mean theres no objectivity to the way we describe the universe anyway

You’re going all in the self-delusing. If there’s no objectivity, then how come we can launch shit to other planets? Why does that tech work?

A meter is more less a yard. Ever heard the term “yard-stick”? Ofc you have, and you know what it means, but you’ll pretend not to.

I’ll tell you that I’m klorknon gribbits tall and that is not objective, because it’s just some bullshit I just made up. Like the bullshit you keep making up to not have to learn the measuring system the entire rest of the world uses.

Feets and pounds are nowadays objective, as they’re based on metric standards, which have been strictly objectively defined, no matter what sophistry you want to wave around about how no measuring system is arbitrary since you don’t understand it.

A second is exactly 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.

And here’s the dictionary definition for “objective”.

objective

adjective

: expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretations

Your “b-b-but it’s a closer to human-scale scale actually much better cause cooking temps and 0 temps don’t matter” is affected by your personal feelings that Fahrenheit is somehow “more human-scale”, whatever the fuck that means.
