I think disqualified.

I shouldn’t feed the troll, but…

Why are vertical videos bad?

This was my first thought. I guess if you’re replacing a coal plant it’s not completely terrible, but be prepared to turn it off in 10 or 20 years.

The post I was replying to literally started with the words “I don’t understand”.

Yes some Christians are hypocritical. Yet some really do walk the walk. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a monster.

Because they believe that a fetus is a human being, and that killing a human is murder. I find it sad that so many people cannot understand that many Christians really believe that.

By 1950 though it was $1 an hour, which would be over $13 an hour today (using your sources below).

That’s not how compound increases are measured.

We can use the compound interest formula for this.

A = P * (1 + r) ^ t

• A is the final amount.
• P is the starting amount (the principal).
• r is the rate (as a proportion, so 50% would be 0.5).
• t is the time.

To figure out the annual increase for the whole time we can plug in what we know and solve for what we don’t:

7.25 = 0.25 * (1+r) ^ 80
29 = (1+r) ^ 80 years
1.043 = 1+r
0.043 = r

So that’s about 4.3% increase per year over the 80 years.

Now we can see what we would have as minimum wage if it had continued over the past 15 years:

A = 7.25 * (1+0.043) ^ 15
A = 7.25 * 1.043 ^ 15
A = 7.25 * 1.88
A = 13.63

So that’s a $13.63 minimum wage.

I mean, the right wing efforts worked. Trump has objectively done way worse things than Nixon while he was President, but is very likely going to be elected again.

i2p is a bit like Tor. Both are overlay networks, meaning that they use the “normal” Internet as their lowest layer. They use similar method of obfuscation using multiple hops.

i2p doesn’t rely on special nodes, I think, which Tor does. i2p also does not connect to the “normal” Internet (basically).

Like with Tor there is no need for a VPN (or rather, little need for a VPN… probably both i2p and Tor are safer than any VPN, but nothing is 100% safe, so some people use double VPN, or Tor over a VPN).

Tor is not designed for torrenting. It assumes TCP connections - mostly for web stuff - and doesn’t handle torrent well. They also don’t want you bogging down the system with your filthy porn. 😆

i2p solves this by forcing you to send data for other users in order to download anything. This helps make your traffic harder to track and helps the overall network. It also means that downloads are slow. Very slow. Like, basically start your download and come back in a day or two. Not a problem if you have four or five downloads in progress, but it makes spontaneous watching impossible.

Anyway, I’m hardly an expert but this is my understanding!

People tend to hire people that they like. You don’t really know who is best for a job unless you’ve hired multiple people and they have been working for a while.

Having employees who happen to have the same background as hiring managers is not the same as having the best employees, but that’s what we have.

If you’d had DEI training you’d know this. 😉

I don’t watch a lot of TV so it’s enough for me. Although to be honest if my partner ever gets smart and leaves me I’ll drop all streaming and just use i2p. 😆

So many home instructions are so much easier with a photograph or two, or better yet a video.

Maybe a lot of their content is terrible but Delicious in Dungeon is a work of art!

My flight was canceled. Luckily that was a partner airline. My actual airline rebooked me on a direct flight. Leaves 3 hours later and arrives earlier. Lower carbon footprint. So, except that I’m standing in queue so someone can inspect my documents it’s basically a win for me. 😆

BTW, I use Arch.

If you ask people about policies and not self-identification, Bernie’s ideas have massive support from all Americans. It’s political discourse that has swung right, not the views of typical Americans.

Banking is completely different from voting from a security point of view. None of the parties in a bank transaction are anonymous, and there are numerous ways to retry or roll back a transaction. Computerized voting is more like crypto currency. 😝
