Wait, you guys are getting President’s Day off work??

Past a certain age, cats tend to develop that specific physique as they lose muscle tone — usually around 17 or 18 years old. By that point they probably also have arthritis making grooming more difficult/painful, which can contribute to the “mangy” look of their fur. Of course, age itself also affects the fur in various ways including thinning and changes in luster/texture. It’s also very common for senior cats to have some sort of kidney disease, which can lead to dehydration that further affects the fur.

Hear hear!

It’s time to stop taking any CEO at their word.

Edit: scratch that, the time to stop taking any CEO at their word was 100 years ago.

This community desperately needs some better moderation…

I hate to break it to you, but our meat brains don’t even have continuity of consciousness. We become unconscious all the time. The only real constant is the “hardware” our consciousness emerges from, but even that is always changing.

Really? Back in the day even Charon took his cut.

It will certainly be gratuitous…

That’s for courts to decide ignore, peasant!

In scientific terms? An absolute fuck-ton of football fields.

In very next line, it says the distance is 4.37 lightyears away… which is also wrong, lol

For anyone wondering, the actual correct answer is about 4.25 lightyears or about 40 trillion kilometers.

While massive energy usage means a substantial environmental impact for these tech giants, it should be noted that Google and Microsoft also generate more money than many countries. Furthermore, companies like Intel, Google, and Microsoft lead renewable energy adoption within the industry.

So fucking what? That’s like excusing a mass-murderer because he’s rich and he promised to “not kill quite as many people in the future.”

What a useless and pandering thing to say.

Right? I guess all the good names where already taken

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Stallman, is in fact, GNU/Stallman, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Stallman. Stallman is not a man unto himself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

I think in the end it all comes down to putting power back into the hands of regulators — power that corporate America has been slowly and steadily eroding for the last 40 years.

A more powerful regulatory state could start enforcing the anti-trust laws we already have on the books by breaking up the massive tech monopolies. Once that’s done, new regulations and new legislation against anti-consumer practices are needed, but those will only work if the punishments scale high enough to work as an actual deterrent against the multi-billion dollar tech giants.

Of course, we’d also need massive, MASSIVE campaign finance and lobbying reforms so that monied interested aren’t able to sabotage the system all over again.

Or we could just bring back the guillotine… that would probably do the trick too.

Sure, because he’s been paid in stock options. It’s not like the guy has been working for free.

Then why is he asking shareholders to approve a $56 billion personal pay package? Seems kinda steep for a guy who isn’t really present…

Elon Musk, the CEO of company, has next to nothing to do with Tesla?

Is this why Elon is working so hard to run Tesla into the ground? 5d chess, something something…
