That’s what I did. Right after reading Artemis. PHM is way better.

To be fair, Americans had no idea just how many of us were anti-science/ pro-bullshit until nearly the end of 2016.

Fracking is used for oil and for natural gas. And it absolutely pollutes local water supplies, aside from also using a shit ton of water, causing tremors, and wrecking wildlife habitats.

If there’s one benefit for it, it’s that it improves energy independence because it allows us to tap more difficult wells cost-effectively.

But that’s a bit of a stretch, because divesting away from fossil fuels also improves energy independence.

Maybe try typing the word you’re talking about into Google before speaking so confidently out of your ass. What are you, Ace Ventura?

Instructions unclear. I’m going to the moon on Delta IX.

(Edit: my dumbass just realized it’s ∆V, as in velocity. I thought Delta 5 was the name of a type of chemical propellant. Though now that I think of it, it really should be. Damn, and I work for a space company too. At least I’m just in IT).

Because it’s a bad faith argument.

There’s no candidate that opposes Israel’s actions.

It’s certainly okay, even preferable, to be critical of our administration, but it serves no point to bring it up in a discussion of the election, because it serves only to de-rail the conversation when any candidate who matters supports the genocide.

Hitler wouldn’t have been shit if he wasn’t celebrated by German media during the Beer Hall Putsch trials. And he would’ve faded to obscurity pretty quick if not for Goebbels.

Fascists are bad. But they only get dangerous when they’re given a platform.

I don’t think the fascism would exist if it wasn’t profitable to give it a platform.

It’s like My 600lb Life.

Trump is the bedridden 800lb lump of a human. And the news cycle that brings him hamburgers by the pallet is the enabler spouse.

Trump is an outrage machine, and we have a media that deals in an economy of outrage.

Trump gets outrage. Outrage gets clicks. Clicks get money. It’s a pretty simple chain to follow.

We need to wake up and realize that a profit-driven instantaneous news system that leverages strong emotions is not good for anybody. Truth is subjective nowadays, (always has been, really, but it’s especially evident in the current media climate) and all that matters is getting information and narratives (not necessarily facts) out and people consuming it (and all the ads embedded with it) there, first, and right now.

Why are they still so hung up on 8.3 long after Win95?

I get not wanting to have spaces in a filename. Those suck.

Is there something low-level that still doesn’t like long filenames?

Two sets of facts for different purposes. Just like how we know that the stars are only a few miles away, but for the purpose of science they are millions of miles away. (/minitrue)

That keyboard looks very similar to various “mini keyboards” on Amazon. I searched for “pc remote keyboard trackpad” and found a couple that are pretty close.

I have had a couple. Don’t expect to type out a novel on it. Between the tiny layout, the straight rows, and the mushy matrix, they are barely good enough for searching for movie titles on Kodi. I’d rather use a phone touchscreen keyboard.

Holy shit that was a decade ago.

Especially when these drones are basically kamikazes. Last think we need is to be shipping over million-dollar Lockheed quadcopters to be met with that kind of fate.

So they are seeking asylum in another country? Like, to move there permanently?

Huh.

I think there are many societal harms that arise out of enabling and enriching the types of scammers that abuse hopeful yet naive people. But social science doesn’t count.

Who the fuck is buying coke at $10/12pk as it is. That’s the real Avocado Toast. Holy shit.

Yeah, he really should’ve gotten a ticket for that.

It’s weird that as a liberal, driving a Tesla is frowned upon.

Like, I get it, Musk is way more weird. But that there’s an electric car that I can’t buy for fear of being viewed as a conservative. That’s kinda weird.

Pouring one out for my cordless Black and Decker electric screwdriver.

Used to travel with it because it was small and light and it worked well for racking network equipment.

It was a cheap piece of junk. But it did the job. Until one day TSA decided I couldnt bring it any more. It was under 7" but that wasn’t good enough.

Told me I could check it. It would cost more for me to check a bag than for me to replace it.

Still upset about it.

I got mine 13 months ago, still going strong. I can check how much time is left on my phone anyway.
