A private company is absolutely more efficient than a government. The boss simply says "this is what we're doing" and that's it -- it's just a question of what goal they're efficiently pursuing.

The problem is that intelligent, empathetic, and selfless people rarely rise to those positions. The few that do usually get pushed out of business by ruthless assholes.

Biden had two jobs:

• A "safe" status quo candidate that appeals to older voters and could beat Trump

I sticker my laptops.

The mods finally removed them.

It's one loser making a bunch of accounts and spamming several instances.

If anything this shows the need for better automated mod tools.

We absolutely can greatly reduce crime by doing that and should -- but that's not going to completely eliminate those crimes.

People are going to slip through the cracks, and sociopaths are still going to exist.

So what are we going to do with actual terrible people? Murders, rapists, etc?

Or the adblock could buffer the video and play it on a delay ad free. People will be fine with doing something else for a minute.

Better yet, have it done in the background -- particularly for new videos on channels you're subscribed to.

I have a dedicated dehydrator with slide in racks. It's faster, uses less energy, and does a better job than the other options.

Downside is it's another appliance to store and the upfront cost. It does make sense if you do a lot of dehydrating.

Frying is all about quickly imparting heat into the surface of a food at high temperature. Air fryers mimic that by moving a much higher volume of hot air past the food -- they're "super convection" ovens.
