Good idea!

I’ve heard this is basically the same reason why autocad will never move away from their fucking terrible UI. Too many people have spent too many hours getting really good at using it, and the investment cliff is too big now.

Did the Proud Boys not understand

No

Between Anonymous, Occupy, and proud boys all using the same mask, the only shared symbolism for the Guy Fawkes mask is really “resistance” of some kind. Which is so broad, it’s hard to call it a symbol at all.

It’s achieved by saying, “I know you don’t really mean that” when someone says some weird shit

And what if, as frequently happens, they do in fact mean it?

So, how DO you have a conversation with a group that thinks you or your friends aren’t people?

Not THAT much. She’s 8000 ish, he’s 6500. I mean that’s a millennium and a half, but it’s also about 20%

I wanted to do a reread, and settled on the audiobook. If you don’t already know the stories, the audiobook is completely incomprehensible. The language is intentionally obtuse and the names all sound alike and you can’t even browse back a bit or check the massive lists at the back.

You can get a concession on extraction, but water is a public domain.

Oh good. What with there being an infinite amount of clean drinking water, them just extracting some public goods to sell for profit is not a problem at all.

Yep, this is a huge fucking problem.

Top bad the often proposed suggestion of “let’s just skip right to the end” isn’t actually a solution.

Person A wants to kill 1 million people.

Person B wants to kill 50 million people.

You: “what’s a trolley?”

“Unlike Kamala, I will support Israel’s right to win its war on terror. They have to win! And instead of pandering to the Jihad sympathizers and America-hating radicals, we will deport them.”

• D. Trump, verbatim, on Nov 6th.

But yeah no, this will definitely improve things.

Nah, I’m also not on Iran’s side in this. Probably even less so.

I’m VERY much not on Israel’s side. But you can’t exactly say this massive barrage had an amazing military impact, right?

That’s a LOT of money for basically no real effect.

Most people don’t want to break the sacred bond of pretending you’re busy, because then next time, they might get caught for doing the same.

Most dangerous thing anywhere is cars, tbh.

Step 1: don’t invade poland.

Step 2: stop being Nazis

There, that’s how Hitler could have won.

Lipo’s can absolutely burn your house down, but only while overcharging. Igniting a battery while you’re walking around with it will at most burn your pants down, not kill you.

You can absolutely make a lipo battery “explode” by overheating it by drawing too much power. But it’s the kind of explosion where it spews hot gas and maybe catches on fire. You’ll definitely get hurt, but that’s about it.

You can do MUCH worse by overcharging it. (note the size of that battery). There will eventually be a fireball if you overcharge it and keep overcharging it when it’s already swollen to a balloon. But you generally don’t charge stuff while it’s in your pocket.

These were actual killing-people-explosions. Lipo batteries don’t do that.
