That's not the point I was making, and bringing that up isn't disgusting.

You're right. The point I was making was that congressional members are like people with minimum wage. Your response is definitely not dodging my argument.
If someone did a study on whether raising the minimum wage impacts people's quality of life, raised it a penny, found that people were still in poverty, and said "we should give up on minimum wages," would that convince you? Your statement, that we've raised congressional wages and corruption is still present, is an equivalent argument. No one is arguing that giving politicians any raise will completely eliminate corruption. I would argue that we should give members of congress wages comparable to the amount of money they would get from taking bribes, and the result will be reduced, not eliminated, corruption.
It's just really hard to talk about expected lifetimes and not sound that way.
It does, because we're talking about the total lifespan instead of remaining lifespan. A person who is 120 may have a 10% chance of living another year; but a 50 year old probably has less than a 1% chance living 71 more years. Of course the 50 year old probably has more than a 99% chance of living another year. So the older you are, the older your expected total lifespan is, even if your expected remaining lifetime is shorter.
Contrary to the meme, it's probably very quiet, if they keep the RPMs low and the fans are arranged correctly
Gross. Thanks for the heads up.
These are all self reported. They have an interest in inflating the effectiveness of the treatment.
Not familiar with the flag
This should be understood for what it is
a press release. But hopefully there's actually substance behind it.
Want to exchange information in json? plaintext? binary data? Sockets can do it.
This is exactly why you need something like dbus. If you just have a socket, you know nothing about how the data is structured, what the communication protocol is, etc. dbus defines all this.
