I was taught to cite websites by using the date the page was updated. Now I'm lucky if web pages even have a date on them.

I don't think it's a simulation. If it was, I don't think it mattered unless I had some amount of control. Which might be why the simulation idea is taking off, people lacking control over their livelihoods.

I think that my senses can be backed up by empirical and reproducible evidence.

If i dont want to burn my hand, I can measure the objects temperature. Even if I don't trust my reasoning and senses, a hot object will still burn me. I could have no senses to perceive the outside world, and I would still be burned by that object.

The reason I know I will get burned is not based on an absolute knowledge of how hot that object is, but that I and others have been burned before. The evidence is reproducible and most everyone agrees that a hot object will burn them.

Waste of money, which is a finite resource.

You are calling a self sustaining energy technology a waste of money, which is inherently a made up resource. Go be a downer somewhere else.

The government giving out money to people so that they could stay housed/fed did not cause record inflation. The capitalists massively hiked prices, then said that inflation made them do it. They then declared record profits afterwards. Capitalists scooped up all that money with ease. They then did their little song and dance of, "We're all in this together. We're just widdle beans trying to survive like you."

If the government doing stuff for people over a 2 year period causes massive amounts of inflation, wouldn't decades of handouts to capitalists cause record hyper-inflation? Inflation doesn't happen because the government does stuff. Inflation happens because capitalists will pounce on any opportunity to eek more money out of you, then blame you for having too much money.

Use a rubber bulb on the end of the pipette. That way your ~~cartel members~~ lab techs are safe.

They are using their mouths to suck liquids into pipettes. It was an old and dangerous lab technique.
