I’m pretty much with you on this one. A lot of these people sound like they have terrible boundaries with their children. I get OP’s in a difficult situation, but I don’t get why they’re complaining about spending $30 on pizza when they agreed to pay that before it was even delivered. I’m not saying OP should’ve been like “you will eat what I say or you will go without dinner,” but really, as a parent you can give your child realistic options that don’t require you hiding in the garage for a couple hours. Ham sandwiches don’t smell, lots of foods don’t smell. If they “refuse,” they’re still going to want to eat later when they’re hungrier, and you make the same food choices available.

Also a large deep dish pizza from Jet’s is like $18, and it’s really hard to overstate how much more food and how much better their pizza is. Domino’s is clearly preying on people who don’t know any better or who don’t have any other options.

In the actual report linked in this article it says they were aware of the attack as it was happening and that they don’t believe it was a state actor

For real, a shot of vodka doesn’t justify $13 for a drink, it’s the rent that does that

I’m on mobile browsing on Firefox and it redirected fine to the full site

Are you accusing the New York Post of not being hard-hitting journalism?

I agree, the tip at that point is entirely optional whereas without the service charge it would be expected. This seems no different than a “18% gratuity will be added to parties of 8 or more.”

I’m not buying your slippery slope fallacy, but again, I’m glad you came around

Oh ok, I didn’t realize we had strayed off topic. So it sounds like we’re in agreement these semiconductor sanctions against China are not “siege warfare”

“Starvation isn’t uncommon”

Since the whole point is starvation, you should probably expound on how a ban on semiconductor technology exports to China will induce starvation

These sanctions would be to ensure the US maintains a technological advantage through prohibiting the export of cutting edge technology. I’m wondering if you actually read what you quoted above before continuing to say this.

If you’re interested in actual modern examples of siege warfare, please read on

No they’re not. Economic sanctions meet no definition of siege warfare

Sure, this isn’t counter to that

Thanks for posting! The authors conclude the US can still put a stop to this with coordinated effort. They recommend the US implement these steps to stop China from further developing domestic semiconductor technology, and I fully support that!

Here are some steps that could be taken to ensure that China does not develop the ability to mass-manufacture the sorts of chips needed for high-end military applications in the coming years:

Limit ArFi immersion lithography tools.

Limit servicing of existing equipment.

Limit ArFi photoresist.

Limit masks.

Limit mask blanks, writers, and other associated infrastructure.

Limit metrology equipment.

Limit CMP equipment.

Limit epitaxy equipment.

Limit dry etch equipment.

Limit CVD and ALD equipment.

Limit advanced packaging equipment.

Limit ion implantation equipment.

Limit semiconductor manufacturing equipment subsystems and subassemblies.

Limit etchant gas.

Limit deposition precursors.

Limit chips that have >25.6Tbps of IO even if they have no compute.

Limit chips that have >1000TOPS of performance.

Limit the licensing of 200G SerDes.

Limit EDA tools.

Limit Joint Ventures and inbound investments.

This is the difference between feeling angry and acting angry. With a little self awareness we can effectively decide how to react to our thoughts and emotions rather than let them drive our behavior reactively

Yes, and they’re most commonly used as nouns when referring to animals, aka “this flock of sheep has 10 males and 10 females.” To use either as a noun when referring to a specific person implies dehumanization

Yes, they are working diligently to ID an effective mRNA vaccine, but the same barriers exist as before. First, HIV mutates rapidly, meaning it easily escapes immunity and evades vaccines. Second, as a retrovirus, it integrates its DNA into a person’s own cellular DNA, so even if your immune system destroys the virus, the DNA remains undetectable to the immune system and able to manufacture new virus at will.

(Responding to the picture here) As for cancer, it’s not a virus or bacteria, which is what vaccines have typically worked against. Cancer is your immune system failing to kill a cell from your own body that has mutated to grow out of control. They’re rapidly developing mRNA techniques for cancer, too.

COVID was a fucking walk in the park immunologically compared to cancer and HIV

Sounds like you need to get better at recruiting!
