…not even. A burger doesn’t even cost a buck to make. Their margins are off the chain.

Soda and fries are even crazier. It’s why the $1/any size drink works - going larger doesn’t impact their bottom line materially at all since the COGS are so low.

Companies have up to a 1000-1 ROI on lobbying.

It’s foolish not to buy what’s on sale.

“Also, that guy over there is using a magnifying glass to light paper on fire, ignore me using napalm since fire is just fire”

There is no good excuse to not be on a closed loop system.

But that costs $ and Microsoft doesn’t make money by spending it when they absolutely don’t have to.

You’d think participating in the propaganda campaign for the Iraq war and the Valery Plame incident would’ve nailed their coffin shut, but here we are today, with those same assholes doing what they do best.

You just broke my brain. “Surely no developer could possibly implement something so stupid,” I thought 2 minutes ago before I read that manual.

That’s a real oof right there.

“Manufacturing software that doesn’t suck!”

🤮 yeah right

Sorry, not in budget for this year. Do it in prod and write up the cap-ex proposal for next year.

If you use 0 bullets in a hot-war of your own, but can’t provide a wartime amount to another country with the help of allies that means you cannot provide enough for yourself during a true homeland crisis.

Euroland focused too much on social services and allowed their military production capabilities to rust because big daddy USA would always be there with the largest MIC on the planet.

Well, somebody just went to the gas station for cigarettes. Good luck.

lol, good luck with that shit when you can’t even get countries to not poison their own air, water, and land. no country will give up the technological and military advantage of understanding more about a pathogen than rivals.

We used to sling plague corpses with catapults to break sieges and weaponized anthrax - employees at Porton Downs are salivating at making a new weaponized horror for the world.

Hmm.

One has slightly higher melanin than the other. Surely, that couldn’t contribute to the difference in results there.

lol like management gives two shits about how browser agnostic a product is. business solutions look to address the perceived gap or need, not tailor to IT personnel feelings.

Hmm. Maybe minors shouldn’t be working in that type of role if they can’t be photographed at work then? It’s a job in a business that serves the public, photography has to be assumed.

Every minute you’re at work you’re under their control - and we all know how much management likes to give up control. If employees could be chained to their desks they’d do it in a heartbeat for “revenue and efficiency improvements”.

…but where will BP or Shell make their billions then?

Also: things like blue ammonia and blue hydrogen are far more polluting than oil even diesel fuel, yet those ghouls managed to greenwash it into appearing better.

Nice attempt at distracting from the issue - the tail effects from the GHGs already emitted is enough to change life as we know it.

CO2 is also not the end-all-be-all of climate change - we have huge methane emissions coming from melting permafrost, oceans, and icebergs that are 80-87x as damaging (ton-for-ton) than CO2.

*the rich are looking at curing diseases. The rest of us will just die because we can’t afford a 7-figure price tag and the insurance companies just laugh at us until we croak.

If you play by felony murder rules, they’re just as guilty since they participated in the planning and actively participated (by waiting for / stalking the victim and pointing him out to their co-conspirator).

In some places if you help plan and participate in a crime that results in a death you’re equally culpable of the murder - even if you weren’t in the same room as the killing. Escape car drivers frequently get death row for a murder that happened in the course of the crime.

That movie really holds up well, and I heard those rips are glorious

It’s completely off topic to bring up Hillary - she hasn’t even been in politics for 7-8 years now or so.

It’s time to move on. You can find a new woman to pillory. Somebody else can live rent free in your head.
