I could see the arguement if you are talking about several species of deer, much like fish vs fishes.

1 fish is a fish. Many fish are fish. A trout and a cod together are fishes.

But aside from that, it’s just ignorance or the incorrect gaining critical mass. Am I thinking about this incorrectly or is there a legitimate argument for changing the current grammatical norms?

Also, does this apply to ‘mooses’, ‘sheeps’, ‘bisons’, or non animal variants like ‘fruits’ and ‘aircrafts’?

‘Deer’ is the plural of ‘deer’.

Is this a misplaced Onion article?

Does anyone find the fact that Russian is using North Korea to escalate right when the US election is taking place as too coincidental?

I have thought for a while that the only reason Russia had such a shit show operation in the early days of the Russo-Ukrainian invasion was because Putin was expecting Trump to win reelection and they’d have more time to bolster an offensive with western ambivalence, and thus a toothless NATO response. When Trump lost, it was shit-or-get-off-the-pot time for Putin.

If Trump wins the election, Putin will have a US Lukashenko and Ukraine loses a significant amount of funding and military equipment support. If Harris wins, they’ll be looking down the barrel of continued Western Ukrainian support and need to accelerate their plans to try to end the conflict as swiftly as possible.

Bringing North Korea into this sets the stage for North Korea to gain Russian military tech to support its aggression against South Korea. That conflict draws US support, which gives China leeway to invade Taiwan, Iran and associates to invade Israel, and the world to divide itself into axis and allied powers. Is WW3 set to take off after the election?

I guess what I’m saying is, it takes a few days if not weeks to mobilize large troop deployments. Are we seeing that right now, in anticipation of Putin not getting what he wants out of the US election?

Pig & And, And & whistle. It’s focusing on the conjunctive. ’And’ is repeated because it is pertinent in both phrases.

Let’s just fuck em all up then, right?

The plants still take 6 to 7 years to mature. If you think broadcasting that you can fuck up nopales because they produce paddles annually, you’re not promoting an environment that’s sustainable for the nopales.

You do you… but I think it’s not cool to fuck with them.

I’m good with maximizing company KPIs, as long as they balance out to a positive benefit for me in the long run. Otherwise, what are we doing here?

You can maximize profits, or, you can create sustainable value. That’s on you, brother …

Don’t fuck with cacti. They live in an inhospitable place and take years to grow. Prickly pear cacti are more sustainable than other varieties, but still take years to mature. Enjoy them for what they are and leave them alone.

I’d be hesitant to work for a company that has a reputation of calling remote employees to RTO. At least, I’d factor that in when deciding to take the job and need a much higher salary for the reduced job security.

… is what we’re livin’ in……

Take a slice of white bread and a single slice of American cheese. Microwave just long enough to make the cheese slightly burn… the phase just after bubbly will get harder when it cools. Top with hot sauce or spicy ketchup… but not too much. If you can find it, there is an Indian curry spruced ketchup that is awesome.

Why go out when you just have to come back home anyway. Save the trip.

I know you didn’t ask and probably don’t care, but free climbing and free soloing are different things. Free climbing uses a rope, but does not allow you to use artificial means to ascend, like pulling on gear you put on the wall. The gear is just there to arrest a fall.

Free soloing is where you climb without a rope. Free climbing uses a rope for safety, but upward mobility is hands and feet on wall. Aid climbing is where you climb by fixing gear to the wall and use it to ascend.

If you know what you’re doing, free climbing is pretty safe. Free soloing is not, but people do it successfully without their huge balls weighing them down.

As a side note, bouldering is also climbing without a rope, but you don’t climb high enough to make a fall fatal.

I did… that was the part about extracting value from a dying industry.

This is the market place, brah. If the US or EU want to keep up, they can subsidize EV manufacturing to the same degree. We are just too stuck on subsidizing O&G to realize that harvesting value from a dying industry is going to leave us out in the cold as the new technology matures.

Free market capitalism and what we operate under haven’t been the same thing for as long as I’ve been alive. What some may call “Communist China” is beating us at the game. Get on the bus or get run the fuck over.

What the hell is with this article? This source doesn’t seem legitimate.

There are a lot of different structures for the contracts on charger installations. Sometimes the business owner pays the utilities, sometimes the charging company does. Sometimes the land is sold to the charging company, sometimes leased. Revenue from the charger is usually split between the charging company and the business based on the specifics of the contract responsibilities and costs, of which there is a lot of variability.

In short, some businesses pay more to have them installed and take more revenue from them. Some pay almost nothing and don’t get any revenue from the charger, other than increased traffic in their businesses. That doesn’t happen often, because most deals have the business owner paying the utilities for the chargers, so they recoup that plus profit. This article is saying that businesses are statistically showing benefits from having chargers nearby.

I know I look for chargers while I’m traveling and pick hotels, restaurants, and grocery stores that have EV chargers at them. As more EVs get on the road, this will probably be more of a factor businesses pay attention to.

Or when they can’t find enough workers and their crops die in the fields…
