Yep, Mumble is the most common, and there are still a couple groups that use Teamspeak.

Discord caps at 100 people in a call while I’ve seen good Mumble servers handle over 800.

Toothpaste my guy, it’ll clean up scratches real good.

IIRC undercovers have, in the past, taken drugs to ‘fit in’ and keep their cover. The guidance to undercovers is probably ‘try to avoid it’ but the directive of ‘don’t get caught’ and ‘try not to die’ probably override that.

The UN taskforce report clearly states that there are more slaves now than ever before.

His comment clearly doesn’t go against that. He specifically states that that statistic arises from the fact that there are far more people alive today than ever before and the percentage (he also bolded that word) of slaves is lower than in the past.

Capitalism is inhumane. The profit margin somehow justifies the human cost.

There is no manifesto of capitalism which states that profit margins justify human suffering. Nearly all capitalist countries ban slavery altogether, while some few have it de jure banned but de facto legal (at least in some cases), and I don’t know of any that have it fully legalized but I’m sure they exist.

In the end, slavery isn’t caused by capitalism; slavery had been a thing for millennia under various controlled markets, state or otherwise. With how prevalent it has been since the dawn of time one could only conclude that it’s human nature that will exist under any economic model and must be constantly fought against with every tool we have.

For example of other modern economic models that have benefitted from slave labor you can look at the USSR, that had obligatory labor written right into their constitution from the very beginning. On top of obligatory labor they forced 14+ million people into forced labor via the gulag system from the 30s to 50s. Most people think that the gulags were primarily to control political dissent, but released soviet documents from the time period shows that they were specifically devised by Gosplan for slave labor.

Dental problems aren’t about them looking good; teeth used to kill. Dental disease used to be the 5th leading cause of death. Your great-grandparents aren’t the best bar for dentistry in the past as modern dentistry began in the 18th century.

I have personally written code for quantum computers to save time due to algorithmic complexity; I was a college student at the time.

So if their usefulness is stuck in the unknowable future then I’m a time traveler.

I always loved the how the line “rise up lights” when pronounced with an American or English accent is ‘razor blades’ in an Australian accent.

No, this is the media conflating the publics perception of physical security and cybersecurity to make a story. If you ask an average person how hard it is to steal money from a casino they’d say it’s next to impossible, but if instead you asked them how hard it was to hack their attached hotel’s booking system they’d say they had no idea.

No, the fact that businesses pay for it for something of that guarantee despite there being free peer-alternatives means that it is a better guarantee.

When you see businesses electing to pay for something despite free alternatives, there is likely a reason (or a number of them). I’ve seen free tools go from active maintaining to completely dead in a single update due to the work needed to get it back up and operating with new environment-side changes.

It’s only this particular kind of plastic in its specific state with respect to the liquid placed inside of it, also the fact that the worry of micro/nano-plastics is relatively new.

It makes sense considering SCP originally found GPT loaded onto magnetic tape reels in what has only be described as a disused military bunker.

You forgot the many difference species of fish/creatures-of-the-sea.

They make $10,000,000,000,000 a day? Must be a hell of a business model.

I wish to possess loamy loam, though I’d take loamish loam if that’s in stock.

You want to both abolish the government AND overturn these rulings? Those two acts are mutually exclusive, or at the least meaningless in both instances of order of precedence; if you abolish the government these rulings no longer exist or have legal meaning, overturning them would require re-establishing a government which accepts all previous supreme court rulings. Which seems idiotic, since if the intent is to overturn these rulings why accept them in the first place?

I got Jesus cum laude.

The problem is that there’s a very big difference between wanting a blanket ban on transition preparation and wanting the actual people involved (the trans kid, the parents, and the doctors) to do a better job of evaluating the situation and working out the best path for each case.

While your opinion may be more reasonable you should be careful to not assume they share your opinion. A lot of people don’t realize that the common choice for “transition” treatments for teens does not transition them, but rather delays/suppresses puberty in such a way that they can choose which way to go at a later time. Banning this treatment forces a choice and disallows a trans person’s ability to fully transition once of age.
