I continue to be impressed as to how much of a bubble HN people reside in. A very small bubble.

Perhaps! I’m not in the US for what it’s worth

I'm actually constantly surprised by the diversity of experiences I'm seeing here. It's very much not a small bubble, at least not in comparison to any other social network/activity in my life.

I'm confused as to why you think one of the most popular religions on Earth would not be a decent chunk of the American military.

If you take this argument that general, then I would say Islam is also one of the most popular religions on earth but well, very lowly reprecented in the US army (below 0.4 percent)

History is why catholics are at 20%. Which is a significant force and a dangerous game to alienate them.


I pledge ignorance. Yeah, sorry should have looked that up before posting. I was always under the impression, North America tended towards other faiths, like Baptism or Mormon.

HN SWE's rarely do anything important. Doctors generally do.

Also doctors go to conferences and usually like doing it.

Amazing, and people wonder why there is this immense backlash to environmentalists.

"Tons of people will die, but thats fine if it achieves my political/environmental goals"


7 million people per year die prematurely from air pollution alone. Are you suggesting we should just keep killing those people indefinitely instead?

Those 7 million lives were apparently never worth fixing things for; now maybe we can shift away from a fossil fuel-driven economy and cut back on a lot of that pollution, and maybe save a ton of lives in the long run.

Yes it is horrible that people are going to die from famines, no one is arguing against that, but maybe it will result in shifting our economy to something where people don't die of famines and also don't die of air pollution.


The number of people who'd die from famines will be much much higher than 7 million per year.

More like to test the stuff that will take them to the ship(s) that will allow humans to land on the Moon.


Hacker? The coins were minted with perfectly valid code.


The “opposition” attempted to assert the congressional authority the branch is supposed over war powers, and were defeated because the American public gave majority power to the current majority whom rejected that authority to the executive branch to do whatever.


The “opposition” that oversaw the Gaza genocide.

No, they are, in the words of German Chancellor Merz, perfectly happy to let Trump do their “dirty work.” All the better if it blows up in his face.

In fact, that’s the whole reason why Trump is in office and not in prison. Because after October 2023 Zionists don’t accept “no” for an answer.


I've been using my MX518 for 15 years. I have several stocked away when this dies.


That's one from the good old days. I was a full on logitech fan back then too, it's sad what the company has turned into.


It does, however, open up your computer to fun security bugs that were totally unnecessary, but you know, you gotta make your computer look like modern art.

Aesthetics are more important for some people than The 0.01% percent chance of an obscure, 8 year old security annomaly. I think those computers look horrible, but they are harmless.


No they didn't. Stop perpetuating this lie. Is the XO stupid? Yes. That doesn't make it ok to lie about it.

> President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday rebranding the Department of Defense as the Department of War

What exactly is the lie then?


I recommend reading the title and subtitle first.

Or really the article itself which also reiterates why the OP is a lie
