There's different frequencies for different clothing items though:

  • Socks, underwear, sports kit: Daily
  • Dress shirts: Every two days
  • T-shirts: Every 3 days
  • Shorts, jeans, chinos, gloves: Weekly to fortnightly or when they get dirty
  • Trainers, beanie hats: Every few months
  • Leather shoes, caps, formal hats:

Different parts of the body produce different levels of sweat, different materials pick it up at different rates. If you're washing all your clothes at the same frequency you're either a clean freak who's apparently fine with wearing socks that very clearly need washing after a day's use but not with wearing other things which are pretty much clean, or you're just wearing out your clothes way faster than you need to

top causes, not factors

if your R&D costs make your business unprofitable, something's going to come along and topple it, same as how "smoking" isn't a cause of death but lung cancer is a very major cause of death

If it's a grave of someone in living memory, then sure, it's grave robbing, but even if someone knows it's their 224x great grandparent then if there's no memory either directly or even via oral history then it's definitely archaeology

There's a very blury line somewhere between the two, but it's up to whoever shouts loudest or digs quietest to define that

Why do supermarkets stupidly pay rent in Manhattan, London, LA or Singapore when they could pay next to nothing to have a store in the Outback or Siberia?

If there's a gold rush, you want to run the railroads, build the houses, sell the shovels and open the general store I guess

One reason is that Epic are very dismissive of Linux, while Steam go out of their way to be supportive and GOG are supportive when it's convenient

Another is trying to lock games into exclusives with them, which other distribution platforms don't do so much

That said, if you don't play games without cross platform multiplayer and don't care about Linux support or see yourself caring any time soon, there's not a huge reason to push you towards steam and away from epic. GOG is more of an anti-DRM thing, however barring sales the price and the cut for the devs is identical on all of them and it's the same game aside from DRM.

Exactly... The issue isn't spotify taking a very normal cut, it's the record labels taking a majority cut and it seems this bill misses that entirely

A real gentleman would probably say "conjecture" or "unfounded information", but a less explicit word is "nonsense"

Pay a bunch of tax on it then wonder what to do with my extra 580€ a month

As much as Meta shouldn't be relied on for news, Canada creating legislation which stops Meta showing news then crying when Meta doesn't show news is frankly laughable and I don't know how their government didn't see it coming

Have you ever used either?

To say they're reversed is pushing it as I'm not sure gnome is at the level of the low poly lara yet

Meta exist to make a profit, however they're never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they're never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their content. Some here may rightfully have an issue with a corporation monetising their content, however by federating with the fediverse and being the first company able to monetise the content within it, Meta have a vested interest in not extinguishing the fediverse.

Complain about their privacy violations or them monetising content they don't generate as much as you want, but remember they're smart & money hungry, and the smartest thing they can do in their position is to make money out of people they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
