OfCourseNot

Oh no! I can’t unsee it now!

I’ve been pirating since Napster, never have hidden shit. It’s usually not a crime, except in America it seems, to download content, or even share it freely. What is a crime is to make a business distributing pirated content.

I’m not sure it’s possible to bankrupt a city like LA, they can go into massive debt and you and your children will end up paying it. They can also take the money from elsewhere in the budget: a shepherd will stop feeding the sheep but not the dogs.

Thank you!

Do you have a bit of info on these Linux mobile OSs? The FP5 didn’t convince me as a main phone when I needed a new one last year, but if it can take a real Linux distro it could be a cool toy.

No amount of primaries can solve it either, imo. The problem is parties. One party, two parties, many parties… they all end corrupt. A politician loyalty is not to the voters, or the people, or country. It is first and most to the party, because the party put them in that place, and it can take them away if they don’t stay on their lane. Parties can be, and so most have been, easily infiltrated and corrupted since money is what wins elections.

It is not a matter of more or less aggressive, some materials dissolve more easily in one type of solvent than in others. You can try, dissolving a teaspoon of salt in water is much easier than in oil. Have you ever eaten chocolate or drunk water while chewing bubblegum? Here the opposite happens, the fats in the chocolate dissolve the bubblegum rubber and make it softer while water doesn’t, it just chills it which makes it firmer.

Now plastic, rubber, or paints, finishings… can be many different things. IPA is safe to use on natural rubber while oils will make it swell and degrade, or even melt it. But most rubbers are synthetic, basically rubbery plastic. These plastics and other engineered materials can have all kind of different properties, while looking exactly the same. So the only thing you can do, other than research on that particular material and solvent, is trying it on a safer or hidden part of the thing.

In my experience: oil isn’t good on most rubbers, IPA is ok. For metals (iron, steel, mechanical parts…), contrary to you I usually advise to clean them with oil/grease, alcohol is appropriate if you don’t want it to be oily, only in rust resistant metals. Consumer/industrial products paints and finishings are usually fine with both ipa and oil if applied swiftly and dried quickly– acetone, kerosene, toluene… will strip them away probably. For wood, almost everything will fuck it up.

money, the copyright and the politics

Of course, the things that haven’t affected the internet or haven’t been affected by it at all.

I see people all the time who seem to go overboard

I don’t have an answer to the question, but wanting to point out that ‘overboard’ here is highly subjective. For example, from my (poor person’s) point of view, I would consider five plastic surgeries for a young lad like yourself way overboard.

Maybe not ‘main’ and ‘appendix’? Both could be, like, actual wives idk.

I think op doesn’t mean ‘first wive’ as in ex-wife.

The other commenter gave you the right answer already. But I meant ‘in practice’ literally, as in, if the sexuality of someone matters to decide your course of action, like flirting with them or introducing a friend, they basically mean the same.

Now if you wanted to get technical, pansexual people are technically bisexual (?). Pansexuality would be a special case of bisexuality in which the attraction is equal across the entire gender spectrum.

But as rarWars said it’s hard to put identity into strict rigid definitions. If you think it too hard this model means that every sexuality is just a special case of bisexuality as well, ace is a special case of pan…

‘Destroying’ money, either physically burning banknotes or just setting some numbers to a lower value in a digital ledger, does not remove value from the economy. When you create money, usually through debt, it takes its value from the currency that already exists. Money is also destroyed all the time through the payment of debt but not as fast as it’s created, that’s why its value mostly goes down (prices mostly go up): Money printer goes BRRRRRRRRR, money burner goes brrr.

What matters for an economy, and therefore the value of its currency, is the value they create–simply put, how much resources they exploit and how efficiently. The most important resource (in my opinion at least) is people.

So if you want to remove value from an economy you have to take those resources away, or make them hard or impossible to exploit efficiently by them, or make them obsolete…

In theory: Bisexuality is attraction to more than one gender, while pansexuality is attraction regardless of gender. For example a bisexual person could be attracted to women and nb people but not to men.

In practice: Mostly synonyms, some years ago ‘pansexual’ was kind of a buzzword to mean ‘inclusive bisexual’ (as in can also be attracted to trans and nb people), but I haven’t met a bi person that wasn’t ‘inclusive’ or that wasn’t attracted to a particular gender like the example above.

No I didn’t, and like the other commenter I don’t buy it either. My comment didn’t say you don’t put the axle into the roll, that’s very common for machines that are roll-fed. My comment said you don’t leave it laying around in the middle of a factory. Even with much smaller machines, eg a receipt printer, where you put the axle into the roll before installing it into the machine the axle is part of the machine and usually there’s only one. You pull it out of the depleted one as you take it out from the machine, put it in the new roll, and install that roll on the machine.

How have I been proven wrong? The other commenter posted a (real) picture of a similar thing, that proves that these exist (which I haven’t put into question), not that the other picture is not ai generated. They even said that some detail bugs them, so no one has ‘proven’ the first image is a real photograph.

On the other hand, the poster of that link didn’t say they’re quitting art, just not posting it online. But even if that were the case, receiving (even unjust) criticism is part of being an artist.

This one’s real, but in the other one there’s no crane nor rails for it, and there’s no machine where it can go in like you see in the back of this one. I can’t put my finger on it but I have definitely ai vibes looking at it. As other commenter has said the machinery around doesn’t make much sense either.

Most certainly ai generated, many things in the picture don’t make much sense when looked at in detail. First of all, who would leave that absolute unit of a roll in the middle of the factory? With an axle inside?

[2] is ai generated or so it says. [4] is real but not as big, and not quite a ton, it says ‘307kg’.
