  • Since a lot of people seem to be jumping to extreme conclusions about this based on specious assumptions, here’s how the process works according to the article:

    Magrathea — named after a planet in the hit novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — buys waste brines, often from desalination plants, and allows the water to evaporate, leaving behind magnesium chloride salts. Next, it passes an electrical current through the salts to separate them from the molten magnesium, which is then cast into ingots or machine components.



  • That’s 100% true. That’s why I’d like the help from experts to help me avoid being scammed, help me avoid drinking and eating poisoned food, or having to breath unhealthy air.

    I don’t always know the full repercussions from the decisions I make so I really appreciate having some expert help. This is especially true of decisions shitty people try to coerce me into making when I’m desperate or emotionally vulnerable.







  • I think the argument is interesting.

    Absolutely no one would support this if the question was instead “If you’re alone in the woods would you rather come across a bear or a black/Mexican/Arab/whatever person”. However, since right now it’s socially popular to group men into a monolithic group and demonize them the man vs bear question and is a very funny and popular meme.

    You can understand the point of the meme and still understand that it denigrates half the poplulation and creates toxic discord towards people who are perfectly good human beings.



  • I think the answer is no even if they own only a single copy (digital or physical) at a time.

    This company copies home movies from VHS to DVD. The linked article implies that when you buy a product you’re only buying the format you purchased. So if you buy a physical book you’re only buying the rights to have the physical book, not a digital copy of the book.
