For decades the American left has been, on the whole, anti-firearms. There simply are not enough of us who own and train with guns. If/when a civil war happens we lose. And that’s before you start taking into account drones and surveillance. People keep making fun of the 2A but seem to conveniently forget that damn near half the electorate just ceded the power of arms to the other half out of fear.
Any robot I can get drunk with is alright by me
oh my God it’s been almost 10 years hasn’t it? It feels like it was maybe 3 or 4 to me.
Halt and catch fire? No wait, they already do that.
What’s your preferred system?
I am loving The Expanse but I wish James Holden felt more like an inhabitant of the System he’s supposed to be saving. Sometimes it feels like he gets dragged along by the plot. And I’m halfway through season 3, I think I get that it’s not entirely coincidence that he’s always tied up in the shit, but sometimes it feels like the Hand Of God moves him into position just for the sake of the plot.
But then how will you know where the nearest Arby’s is on your commute
I still think “Dumbfuckistan” has a nice ring to it
The problem I have with glue tonight is it frequently makes mistakes I have to go back and fix
People are posting about wanting to run away to the woods but I think it’s important to remember that cities can be quiet.
Not that we should all move to Delft, but if we built infrastructure for people instead of cars cities wouldn’t be so fucking loud.
I miss demotivationals, but seeing as motivational posters aren’t plastered everywhere anymore I guess the satire would fall kinda flat
I say “I has a bucket” almost every time I pick up a bucket
What an interesting omission. Thanks for pointing that out!
Is it not the same OS? I had one iPhone and came back to Android.
A few months ago, in 2007?
Land of the free my ass
What would you say is technology? Materials science isn’t technology, but what about things made out of the materials created by materials science?
The last time I used LibreOffice was admittedly a couple years ago but it was just plain clunky in comparison to MS Office. Word feels nicer to use than Writer, and Excel is more intuitive than Calc.
I’m glad that FOSS alternatives exist, but the older I get the more I turn into a boring normie. Office just works. I can collaborate on our budget with my girlfriend, I can pull up my resume and edit it on my phone, I can share files with my friends or with my boss or with my prof. And I don’t have to maintain any infrastructure to do that. I don’t have to set up a domain or any kind of server, it’s a couple hours’ pay. For a year of relatively seamless support.
I imagine it’s a hell of a lot cheaper/simpler/more reliable in manufacturing to use the adhesive over screws, gaskets, and grease. It reduces both the BOM and the number of processes required to ship a unit, and probably fails less often, which means fewer RMAs. Plus it just plain takes up less space, which leaves more room for the battery.
I don’t like it, my favorite phone I’ve ever had was a Galaxy Nexus with a zerolemon battery that was bigger than the phone itself, but I can see why gluing everything together would be an attractive solution for the engineers who design these things.
66% of Republicans vs 41% of Democrats and 45% of independents. I still don’t like those numbers.
