Bye, to archaeology in Egypt pyramid renovation sparks debate

Yes and they should have fixed it all the way in my opinion, but that would have been bad for tourism.

The granite was looted thousands of years ago, so the pyramid is long overdue for some maintenance.

I know archaeologists debate this, since many say that the pyramids have been known as ruins since antiquity, but it’s kind of weird to say “well it’s been that way forever and people like it, so let’s leave it”.

We have a very good understanding of how they were originally, and they would still be amazing if fixed. Just doing one of the smaller pyramids is a great way to dip our toes into restoration.

Like if you had an old rusty classic car in your front yard, and you and your neighbors thought it was cool looking to have it there. But if it were restored, people could really see its beauty, and it would last longer. Both are valid things to do; I just happen to think that the restored car is better.

This is dumb, the tower of Pisa WAS straightened.

You know they’d still be shooting people, right?

People are posting all kinds of ridiculous solutions that they know are impossible. Legalize drugs. Use less drugs. The cartels run more than just drugs! They run fucking avocados!! And electronics!! They have diversified. Never mind that it’s politically impossible to do anything like that. It can’t happen.

Invading Mexico and shooting the cartels CAN happen. It gives money to the defense industry, which itself is enough reason that it could happen. It’s probably even in the USA’s best interest to try and de-corrupt Mexico (never mind that this would be a bloody mess with huge loss of life). My point isn’t that it’s a good idea, it’s that it’s a solution that could actually happen in real life.

The bailouts were loans. The us govt got that money back.

Those banks should have been punished though, allowed to fail.

I’m advocating for publicly owned automatic taxis

Bye, to fuck_cars in Why are cars getting bigger? A theory.

It’s also (western) safety standards. Even small cars are larger; compare an 80s Corolla to a 90s to a 2010s. Compare bmw 3-series across the same time span. To make cars safer for occupants, you need more metal and more space. So they got larger.

Public transit would be great if you didn’t have to ride with other people. That’s my real problem with it in America at least; there are always loud and gross people aboard. My town has phenomenal bud infrastructure, but people drive because it’s faster, and because you don’t have to be around undesirable people.

Maybe public transportation where each person or group could ride in their own automated pod, which would be publicly owned. That way you could still go skiing/hiking/etc, since mass transportation to those places is very difficult due to low volume.

Bye, to science_memes in Probability.... Need I say more?!

I don’t like this comic because the frequentist statistician is operating with an effective n=1. You’d ask the detector 1000 more times, and use those results to get your answer.

But the browser can’t handle other languages? That seems a bit silly

Bye, to programmer_humor in The Holy Trinity of JavaScript

I don’t work with web stuff, why is js so weird? Can you write a website in other languages, like c# or python?

Bye, to memes in No take backs?

Pretty sure it means accepting that you’re trans

And the blue pill symbolizes continuing to pretend to be someone else

Like the whole movie is a trans allegory, especially considering the creators.

Bye, to asklemmy in Why do people not understand that you can agree with one thing someone said or did while disagreeing with the majority of what they stand for?

It’s because we live in an age where people use the tactic of “well I just like this one thing he said” as a gateway to awful shit.
