It's never too early to do that thing you always wanted to do. Sure, you only get 5000 weeks at most, but that's plenty if you make good use of them.

Pants.

Or a complier that tells me when I mispell a variable in an assignment or use the wrong type for something.

Seriously, what did he expect? The first thing you learn before getting a gun is to never assume a gun is unloaded or safe, even if you just checked it. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. As always, safety rules are writen in the blood.

I think it is highly unlikely someone gave him a gun without going over the basics of or of him intentionaly ignoring safety rules for the video.

If it's local, try using over-the-air TV, if your close to a transmitter, you can get away with a fairly cheap antenna. (Or even just a paperclip.)

If you bought one the best thing to do (financially) is to immediately sell it off to another sucker, perpetuating the cycle of scams. (Make sure to hype it on Reddit or Twitter so you can sell it for even more)

Thanks to this not being Reddit, I can see that over 90 people agree.

TLDR: Farmer agrees to sell some flax in the future at a fixed price, by responding "👍" to "please confirm flax contract". Later, as the market price of flax went up, the farmer demands more money. They buyer then goes to court to force the farmer to sell the flax at the agreed price, judge rules that the "👍" does count as agreement.

This is a contract that was made several times previously, with similar informal agreements like "ok", but this time the farmer tried to get out.

There really needs to be more regulation. For instance how Facebook and Google just buy all the competition. Unfortunately introducing new regulations or enforcing current ones keeps getting harder due to corruption.

The problems is not that rich people exist, millionaires are few and far between, but that rich people that are able to screw everyone over.

What we have to do is to stop giving the rich so much power, especially over the government. Less corruption means that we can better regulate large companies, including enforcing pollution emission limts.

In fact, you are already helping with that, by using Lemmy and not corporate social media like Twitter or Reddit.

Check the rules of your istance, or host your own. Nothing is banned lemmy wide, although if things get bad enough, other instances will defederate you, preventing your instances posts from showing up in feeds. (this already happened to a lot of nazi filled instances) TLDR: if you can find or host an instance that is ok with it, yes. However others have no obligation to participate

Spinning rust is fine, if you seed a lot, you will often be the only seeder on a torrent. In that case being able to keep the file around is fare more important than shaving milliseconds off download times.
