By contrast standing 100ft away is more like looking up at a freaking skyscraper.

Rain, but the right campfire could win me over.

Stupid headline is about as useless as could be.

Yes, that is how rockets get to space, for example. Earth's atmo is ~21% Oxygen. So that is giving flames a boost. Careful not conflate "burn" with the presence of flames. In a vacuum, the flame could only exist briefly because there isnt the available Oxygen from the air. The reaction will (or might?) still happen, but without the oxygen to produce a flame.

BTW, this has been studied in microgravity aboard the ISS.

Also, those coming in contact with files from MacOS users, because (legacy) resource forks often make people excited: "What are all these damned stupid files all over this directory structure??"

Amazon is demonstrably proficient at driving sales through targeted advertising. They practically invented it. One anecdotal counter-example doesnt outweigh that.

Ironically, it was a comment on Lemmy that helped me think about it differently. (I already avoid all other social media.)

Healthy, well-adjusted people do not spend time or mental energy on negative things they cannot control, especially those which are not directly effecting them.

Sure. Or maybe you have a different tolerance. Either way, I dont care. I just expect I wont see the next Amazon thread on Lemmy. Because Lemmy is incapable of discussing the topic in a way I want to engage.

I am not here for an endless flood of negativity and doomerism. When I see it, I block what I think is necessary. I use keyword filters, user blocks, community blocks or occasionally the entire instance.

I know it is hard to imagine other people with lives different than yours, but do try. It might help you understand why they might make choices different from yours.

Making public statements supporting political assassination is frowned on at most places I've worked. That seems reasonable to me for highly paid jobs at a high-profile firm.

I guess I'm glad that means I won't have to work with you.
