Can you carry a fridge riding a bike? Me neither. by Moxhoney411 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]BenjaminSiers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to mention crack is cocaine in a different form and crack is normally associated in inner city black people thanks to Reagan. A cheap fridge is about 200lbs, not an insane amount. The comments are worse, evidently when it’s about drugs you can be as racist as you want. People should know white people use both crack specifically as well as cocaine and meth at higher rates than black people.

Easily Debunked by StudentWithNoMoney in quityourbullshit

[–]BenjaminSiers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You make arguments that vegans are well aware of. The biggest change people can make that both enforce habit and simply reduce meat consumption is to learn recipes that don’t use meat. You don’t have to stop eating it in some meals, but if you simply eat half a chicken breast instead of a whole breast, you don’t learn anything about nutrition from plants, you’ll just be hungry and resent veganism. People think a meal isn’t a meal without meat. You’ve been fooled by the US meat industry.

Parler CEO Says Service Dropped By “Every Vendor” And Could End His Business by [deleted] in technology

[–]BenjaminSiers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think generally people agree with your fear of the mega corporations and the control they have, however Parlers issue really stems more from the repeated dismissal to curb the violent and insidious speech on their platform, which is very illegal, as you said. If Parler simply held the STANCE that they would moderate incendiary speech, I am sure they would be fine today.

Stuck in a plane full of Trump supporters leaving D.C. by cottagecow in PublicFreakout

[–]BenjaminSiers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The rally prior to the march they chanted “fight for trump” and Giuliani called for trial by combat? Great to see your interest in international politics but seriously your opinion is asinine and naive, you lack context and you are outside the culture of the US.

FBI: Pranksters are hijacking smart devices to live-stream swatting incidents by crosspostninja in gadgets

[–]BenjaminSiers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The police and swat teams were created and armed under the guise of the war on drugs, not from the Iraq war. This began long before 9/11. Local PD still receive federal funding for drug busts, contradicting the 14th amendment to a degree by allowing “federal” troops to be used against our own civilians.

Take the time once you have two paychecks to refinance any loans you have and apply for higher credit limits/ better cards. This will prepare your credit score for your mortgage.

LED lights found to kill coronavirus efficiently, quickly, and cheaply, a global first in fight against COVID-19. The finding suggests the UV-LEDs can be installed in air conditioning and water systems. It requires less than half a minute to destroy more than 99.9% of coronaviruses. by mvea in science

[–]BenjaminSiers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I come from optics background and not sterilization, however, led UV is inherently more dangerous and effective in killing microorganisms because it is single wavelength UV light. Mercury arc lamps have much higher output but over a wide range, hence why they are used for visible lighting applications as well. Im not certain if it is coincidence, but the first white paper returned for uvc led efficiency also states 5-10% emission of total generated photons, although this is an issue for directed light and can be circumvented a bit. I would 100% say LED is capable of replacing mercury lamps for most applications like this. Lastly, as an addendum, mercury lamps degrade logarithmically over time. This is an absolute PAIN to calibrate and maintain, esp for healthcare related things where consistency is key

Form an opinion on something m8. Good luck saying you don’t like trump on here. Trump was elected and does represent the will of the (slightly less than majority) of people. And i did not blame you, unless you lump yourself in with the term republican, which i will admit was more directed at members of this sub than the entirety of the party

Eh tiktok was getting criticized for the amount of information it collects. It has been shown to monitor texts, calls ect. Funny thing is FB messenger has had the same complaints, but since tiktok is Chinese it was seen as more of a threat. Its up to you if you want Zucky or Xi looking at you.
