My concern would be less about whether it sends the original or creates a perfect copy, but more about how reliable it is. Getting Riker’d/Boimler’d would be okay, but having more than a negligible chance of any other sort of transporter accident would definitely give me pause.

For me, the issue isn’t just about durability, it’s also about how a cheap clear TPU case is way grippier than the metal or glass of the phone itself.

Blue LEDs are BORING! You have the entire specturm of colors, stop using only blue!

Sad Shuji Nakamura noises

I mean, sure, they’re overused now, but that’s because they were such a breakthrough that the dude got a well-deserved Nobel prize for finally figuring out how to invent them. Think about it: it’s not just blue that they made possible, it’s the whole spectrum and white, too. If it weren’t for blue LEDs, we’d still be stuck using CFLs.

Sure, its flammable and all, but so is jet fuel, and we can throw giant tanks of that stuff into the air safely with enough engineering put into it.

As long as we don’t paint the airship skin with it.

Although, that’s an argument that many nations, including the US, have 50 years of data on, and there isn’t much is nothing to support that argument. Trickle down economics hasn’t been shown to work has been conclusively shown to not work.

FTFY

A lot of people still buy into trickle down economics despite consistently not working for the several decades we have tried it

It has literally never worked, even over a century ago when it was called “horse and sparrow economics,” and it never will.

I mean, it sounds like the issue is pretty easily fixable, as they’re offering a DIY kit for it. It just seems like, if you’re handy, you could get both a usable AC and a refund.

Usually these are supposed to be ironic, but I genuinely see nothing wrong with this.

Individuals who want a refund will need to send the unit back to Midea with a free shipping label or submit a photograph showing that they cut the unit’s unplugged power cord.

Wait, so does that mean anybody willing to splice wires back together (and DIY a fix for the drain issue) gets a free AC unit?

They had years of evidence of previous hate crimes.

Hell, the only reason they were at the place to begin with was to check the mail at the ashes of their previous house that had been burned down by a gay-hating arsonist.

My Firefox has a couple hundred tabs open, one of which had a memory leak. It was getting killed by the OOM killer (on my 64GB of RAM system!) about twice a day. It’s not doing it anymore, though; I must’ve closed the correct tab.

Exactly. If every ad-dependent website went offline tomorrow and all we were left with was Wikipedia, PeerTube, government/academia sites and a bunch of Geocities-esque “labor of love” hobbyist pages, nothing of value would be lost.

My uBlock Origin has been working fine on my Linux desktop running Firefox.

uBlock Origin Lite on my Chromebook, on the other hand, has gotten the “Ad blockers are prohibited” popup a couple of times.

I was thinking more of how a teacher in a French class would force students to interact in French (or so I’m told, anyway — I took latin in high school).

En francais, s’il vous plait.

My goddamn family doing that to me in suits would scare me.

The real “fiscal conservatives” are the “bleeding-heart liberals.”

Sure, if you’re willfully ignoring context. These were legislators wearing suits doing it in parliament to make a political point, not armed warriors doing it on a battlefield. The only ‘fear’ was entirely dishonest and performative, not real.

To be clear, I’m only criticizing the Minnesota Reformer for running that headline in the first place, not you for copying it. You did nothing wrong; you were just following rule 4 as required.

I just feel that how issues are framed is important, and refuse to accept the headline’s implication of legitimacy.

Hey Minnesota Reformer editor, gestapo following illegal executive orders isn’t “law enforcement.”
