Fracking is used for oil and for natural gas. And it absolutely pollutes local water supplies, aside from also using a shit ton of water, causing tremors, and wrecking wildlife habitats.

If there's one benefit for it, it's that it improves energy independence because it allows us to tap more difficult wells cost-effectively.

But that's a bit of a stretch, because divesting away from fossil fuels also improves energy independence.

Maybe try typing the word you're talking about into Google before speaking so confidently out of your ass. What are you, Ace Ventura?

Obviously they aren't recent, it's an old graveyard.

You know why nobody living in a town gets buried in its cemetery? Because they are living.

To that I would say society is failing them either further.

How much does it cost to criminalize homelessness? Between enforcement, jailing, feeding, clothing, trials, lawyers, DAs, etc. It's a fucking fortune.

Why do we go right to the stick, when the carrot is cheaper and more humane? Why aren't we helping them instead of spending more money to strip away whatever shreds of dignity they have left?

God forbid we help people down on their luck. Much better for us to exert even more effort and capital to dehumanize them. Surely that'll keep everyone from choosing a vagrant lifestyle and make them pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

I'd think that if society fucked me over enough to the point that I had to sleep on her streets, I'd proudly violate all the rules too.

You expect people to respect the institution that bent them over until they broke? Fuck that.

Respect is reciprocal. I'll give it at first but if it's obvious I'm not getting any back, then there's no sense in continuing to give it.

SPAM is underappreciated.

I remember a long time ago as a fat kid on keto, eating spam right out of the can with a spoon. This is not the recommended way to serve.

But, grilled, either on a sandwich or as part of a breakfast plate? Chef's kiss.

Not only that, but managing wifi channel congestion in a dorm is a pita.

It's tough enough when you fully control the airspace, to have nice clean coverage and overlapping cells.

But then add dozens or hundreds of individually managed APs in a tiny space...with DFS and/or 160MHz channel widths?

Ops best bet is to get their own 5g home internet and plug in.

You'll be hard pressed to get a router to talk to a captive portal sign in...but if OP wants to get creative, this can easily be fixed with a dumb switch and a Linux PC with two NICs. You could use windows for this, but why would you?

This is common in America. We do it so that universities don't have to compete with private landlords.

I'm pretty sure it's either Mandela Effect or a massive gaslighting conspiracy. Though I guess that's true for everything that's collectively misremembered.

Don't the volume buttons already take a picture?

Because it's a bad faith argument.

There's no candidate that opposes Israel's actions.

It's certainly okay, even preferable, to be critical of our administration, but it serves no point to bring it up in a discussion of the election, because it serves only to de-rail the conversation when any candidate who matters supports the genocide.

Hitler wouldn't have been shit if he wasn't celebrated by German media during the Beer Hall Putsch trials. And he would've faded to obscurity pretty quick if not for Goebbels.

Fascists are bad. But they only get dangerous when they're given a platform.

While $1m USD in 1988 is worth only $2.6m in 2024, if they just put it in the S&P 500 back then and left it there, it'd be worth over $44.6m today.

I don't know if the Dijon ketchup is really worth it.
