but glad that this reminded me I was in the middle of playing through SOMA before I got distracted by a new book series

and what other dumbasses aren’t realizing is that force is going to be escalated regardless, so you might as well kill them instead of get killed

how else are you going to perform, document, and communicate engineering calculations in a format that is simple, intuitive, flexible, and easy to iterate upon?

“AI” meeting transcription is pretty handy

oh honey, it’s going to be tax dollars

but there are people of different values.

for example, people who think others are not worth much are themselves worthless.

you got to be careful to not eat too much sugar!

^there are people that actually believe stuff like this

sorry, I screwed up in my reply. I meant to say only 1/3 of the voting population voted against him (but yes also 1/3 voted for him, and 1/3 didn’t vote at all)

I was trying to say that 2/3 did not meaningfully oppose him, yes

I don’t understand your question. You’re asking how I suck at aiming if I am peeing on the floor, but I never said I was missing the pee mat.

must be nice to have such a hot water supply with high pressure

not everybody has that

When I last looked at the numbers months ago, the actual number of votes for Republicans was 1/3 of the eligible voting population

*what I meant to say here was actual number of votes against Republicans

probably nothing, because he has to lose, not loose it. odds are he has hair short enough to lose but not long enough to tie up

isn’t that what the shaggy pee mat in front of the toilet is for?

that’s what I thought at first, but there is actually a way that it makes sense

you have hot water and cold water with a certain amount of pressure behind them feeding your apmt. if you turn the shower to full hot, the valve is still going to mix it with cold water. however if you take the cold water out at the sink prior to the shower feed, it’s not going to be replaced by more cold water if the system doesn’t have enough supply to keep up with it. so your shower water is being mixed with less cold water than before, resulting in a hotter mixed stream from the shower head

and like maybe there’s other things going on and it’s not the same in every situation and all that, but you can test this yourself and get this result, so…

2/3 of the country not opposing his policies seems pretty clear cut to me

yep, it’s absolutely infuriating that they do that shit. you do some work around to make shit actually function, and then they just go change it on you without actually adding the functionality you needed

lots of people grind for income

I’ve done it. trying to transition away from that and get to the point where work is the side quest instead of the main focus

one of the vocally pro-nazi people I still have on Facebook did a paper at university on “Elon Musk: a case for transformational leadership” and has that posted on his company website. he also has clippy as his fb pp, and his profile tag line or whatever has “I am devoted to the well being of the people”

it’s an interesting mix of beliefs

mind you this guy is Canadian. he’s gradually been becoming more and more right-wing because he has been radicalized by his view of the left through mainstream media. however when it became clear that he was pro-Nazi was when he posted about how the people who were calling Nazis Nazis have blood on their hand for Good’s murder and that it was entirely clear it was justified self-defense

do you live in a sterile lab, or do you like, ever go outside and touch grass?

just curious

I’ve done that with all my phones since BlackBerry

well I usually use luke cold water
