  • Pope says Trump's threat to destroy Iranian civilization is 'truly unacceptable'

    Jump

  • Similarly iran government supported russia by providing shaheed drones doens't justify usa/israel bombing in iran and killing innocent civilians

    Yeah, no shit Sherlock. That's not the argument. The point of contention was the claim that Iran doesn't kill foreign civilians.

  • Uhhh.....what? They absolutely are. Have you missed the whole Ukrainian war thing? Still nothing justifies genocide and this is all to placate a war hungry megalomaniac with pedophilic obsessions. But Iran has undeniably contributed heavily to Ukrainian civilian deaths via Shahed drone production.

  • Someone just out of the blue posted a casual picture of their dog a couple days ago and people hopped on the trend for fun.

    Thank you! :)

  • Artemis II astronaut finds two Outlook instances running on computers, calls on Houston to fix Microsoft anomaly — puzzled caller describes ‘two Outlooks, and neither one of those are working’

  • I don't disagree, but I don't use it either.

  • US sues Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois to stop regulation of prediction markets

    Jump

  • They're right though. Its not gambling. They're just investing time and influence to get guaranteed returns. So for them its moreso investing than gambling like it would be for us. I'm just not morally bankrupt enough to buy into a prediction market that my country's military is going to drop bombs on children before Thursday next week.

  • Can I ask why people still use dedicated email software? I'm sure there's a reason. Maybe just familiarity, but I've never once opened my email inbox from anything other than a browser. It seems like a royal PITA.

  • Well, you could potentially get a cheap office special PC to use as a guinea pig. (Depending on what it takes to run this software)

  • Same. I actually built my first computer a year before prices went super saiyan but it sounds like you got an even better deal. My system is:

    • Intel 14100 - $98
    • 2×16 DDR4 Corsair 3200 - $57
    • Asrock B660 - $98
    • Corsair 80+ bronze PSU - $70
    • 500GB Crucial SSD - $37
    • Seagate 28TB HHD - $368

    So $728 plus a cheapo case. Today it would be $1171 just casually picking the same parts from eBay, Amazon, and Newegg. That's a 160% jump.

  • Democrats sue to block Trump's executive order targeting mail ballots

    Jump

  • No worries. I understood and upvoted. This isn't reddit so I tend to give everyone the benefit of doubt when it comes to connotation unless they prove otherwise. I took it as a point of information rather than an attempt to disprove or invalidate.

  • Democrats sue to block Trump's executive order targeting mail ballots

    Jump

  • Fair enough. Good catch but at the least, what should/could have been a period of substantial growth in USPS revenue from 2006-2022 ended up being a period of time which has substantially crippled their operations.

  • What’s the most embarrassing thing you’re willing to admit to online?

  • I'd argue that's half their function

  • Democrats sue to block Trump's executive order targeting mail ballots

  • You're right, but you have to consider what USPS has to contend with. Its not the fault of USPS as a government provided service.

    They need to fully fund their employees retirement health benefits 75 years into the future unlike any other company. This destroyed any sort of year-year operation funding they had in the oughts. So when they would have been able to reinvest into keeping services timely and efficient, instead they were forced to kick the can down the road to focus on retiree benefits for every single postal worker in the branch.

    Package volume increased from roughly 3 billion in 2006 to 7.3 billion in 2025. Package volume in USPS essentially doubled while national package volume increased somewhere in the range of 10x. Which shows that companies like UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Amazon captured a majority of the market growth due to their liquidity and better margins. USPS is forced to deliver to every domestic address so they're stuck with tougher delivery routes that cost more while the other private delivery companies hoover up lower cost/simpler deliveries. All while the primary revenue driver of first-class mail dropped like a rock due to the rise in email traffic.

    This is all ignoring the fact that congress won't allow them to upgrade their delivery fleet. They've been forced to manage their fleet of Grumman LLVs from 1986 as though its the ship of Theseus. They want and everyone else wants them to upgrade but they've been hamstrung time and time again by lawsuits and Oshkosh's own inability to build an electric truck. Instead their deliveries still rely on trucks last built in 1994, making them at least 32 years old at this point, with no airbags, no A/C, and getting 8mpg.

    TIL Ronald Reagan was deeply influnced by SciFi when implementing policy. He reportedly initiated cybersecurity changes within the DoD after watching the movie WarGames and asking if it was plausible.
