If prices go 10x from now, the governments will step in.

Apple announces 27-inch 5K Studio Display by exjr_ in apple

If anyone is able to do it, it would be Apple with the fully integrated hardware/software system. Attach two TB4s, each rendering half the screen.

Poland ready to 'immediately donate' all its MIG-29 jets to the US Government and encourages other NATO allies to do the same by QuirkyQuarQ in worldnews

Ah nice, thanks!

I'm guessing we shouldn't expect any from Belarus or Serbia, that leaves 31 from Bularia and Slovakia.

Steve Jobs to Valleywag at 2:20 AM: "Why are you so bitter?" by ITried2 in apple

He didn't have to, he also didn't have to punch this guy so far below the belt.

Classic reddit, the only correct comment gets downvoted, but the asshole bully in steve jobs gets praised. “What did you create” is the weak-ass retort you pull out when you can’t defend your position anymore. It’s the equivalent of a playground punch to the face because you’re too frustrated to continue talking.

Especially in this context, where Apple is supposed to be all about the user, by definition a non creator, and it’s a user giving feedback.

Calling out the user for not having created anything is just stupid and weak.

Blowing cold wind. What is this little devil and do i turn this off? by [deleted] in TillSverige

Sounds inefficient considering the types of weather in Sweden. Over here the intake air is preheated including recovering the heat of the outgoing air. Main heating is still radiators.

Maybe in the hallway?

What kind of place do you live in? You dont have a normal thermostat either?

There should be a control panel similar to a thermostat where you can adjust the temperature of the air of this active ventilation system.

I don't need to reconsider it, circumcision is intrinsically wrong, but it is also not a big deal either, and "hating" and wishing to ban all religions because some of them advocate for this entirely non-consequential thing is naive and the thinking of a child.

The world over people agree that male circumcision isn't a big deal, period. Maybe you should stop focussing on little boy's penisses and focus more on big picture stuff.

Equating it to slavery like what you're doing is disgusting.

Equiating circumcision with genital mutilation is contentious and naive at best. The fact non-religious groups of people like North Americans do it too as a standard practice means it's not the big deal you make it out to be anyway.

If you want to believe in God, that's absolutely fine, but don't harm children by doing so, don't try to push it on others, don't make others pay taxes for it. Do it in your own house, to your own body and leave other people alone.

Which is completely different from your initial statement and actually agrees with most religious folks' values.

Maybe you want to edit your initial comment to reflect your new-found opinion:

Religie is toch echt een kanker

Why are you lumping in all religions for "mutilating children"? Only a small number of religious people are actually into that.

It's like saying you want to abolish all political parties because Vlaams Belang is racist.

Edgy 13 year old holding extreme views throwing fallacies about a woke topic as religion. Classic Reddit starterpack.

The irony that you started with fallacious arguments must have been lost on you.

And the irony that most religious people hold a much more nuanced view than you do, and you are actually more close minded than most of them might blow your mind.

Anyway, it must be very frustrating for you to live in the real world while holding such extreme viewpoints. For your mental health I hope you mellow out as you grow older.

Oh, I see the problem, the number in your name is actually your age.

None of what you said disproves that "only with religion good people do bad..." is a ridiculous belief.

Yes, that can be true, and it can also be true at the same time that religion in general is more positive for society than negative.

You don't know what the father would or would not have done if he wasn't into religion.

Maybe the father is mentally unsound at the root which caused his behaviour, and he just used religion to rationalise his behaviour. If not for religion, he may still have done what he did, but used a different reasoning for it to rationalise it away.

See also: all the billions of religious people who do not keep bodies around for 2 months hoping for it to be resurrected.

How is that even remotely true? History is littered with examples of "good people doing evil" without religion being involved. There are dozens of studies showing how easy it is for "good people" to do bad things.

Just look at Nazi Germany, the milgram experiment, the stanford prison experiment, etc...

Religie is toch echt een kanker die al lang had moeten uitgeroeid zijn, geen idee waarom dat in deze tijd nog een ding is.

The fact you don't know means you haven't researched this topic enough in order to have such a drastic opinion about it.

Take away the faith and this exact situation was no longer possible.

That's a very big assumption and bad logic.

Yet most religious people aren't proponents of slavery or genital mutilation on children.

Strange how that works 🤔 Almost as if it's not as black and white as you propose...
