The object of a system of authority is order, not justice. Justice matters only after injustice sufficiently compromises order.

  • Classic Liberal, yes.

  • I'm so old that when I started there wasn't any choice. It was command line or go outside!

  • You are not spending tens of millions annually and thus Microsoft doesn't give a shit about you. They literally would not piss on you if you were on fire.

  • I dunno, at least some of planned datacenters ARE doing that. For example an absolutely ENORMOUS Solar Farm is being built in Cheyenne, Wyoming for another Microsoft DC. For a previous MS DC a big ass wind farm was built. Meta is building a fuck you sized DC in Cheyenne and recently inked a deal with Terrapower for a natrium powered reactor.

    I dislike having to defend these assholes but the Green Energy thing has been done, is being done, and they have definite plans to do more of it.

  • I promise that whatever country you live in also has levels to the body armor worn by their special police forces and military.

  • Ohhh I like this one!

  • I googled a map of US literacy by county. Interesting view.

  • just so we can give everything a public address

    Giving everything a public address was the original intent! NAT didn't even exist prior to '94 and it was (and is) a massive kludge.

  • I'm interested in what you're thinking with this.

  • I'm cautiously optimistic. This looks like a reasonable use of tech that doesn't seem to have so many of the spyware elements that other glasses (like Meta) have. There's no external camera, no screens (only lenses), and no mention needing an app or internet connection.

    As someone in their target demographic I'm interested to find out what is actually released and would consider purchasing a pair.

  • Motors used to be BOLTED together, now they are GLUED together.

    50 years ago you were working on brushed motors with relatively sloppy tolerances, less torque, and more electrical consumption. Today's brushless motors are faster, stronger, lighter, more efficient, and designed to higher tolerances.

    It used to take me a half hour to change the clutch slave cylinder on my truck. Now (newer truck) I have to PULL the transmission to do that.

    Very few vehicles in the U.S. have a manual transmission and the prevalence of them is decreasing quickly in all western countries. No matter how much we may prefer manuals it's inarguable that modern automatics get better fuel economy, are easier to operate and are often stronger than their manual equivalent.

    My point here is that often the same advances that make things better make them more difficult to service.

  • Thank you for the feedback!

  • I actually don't know. I'll have to try it.

  • Iran’s very real problems are because of America’s economic warfare

    American sanctions have nothing to do with Iran's very real lack of water. They did that to themselves with their unbridled and ignorant dam building.

    Specific to economic warfare Iran has trade relationships with both China and Russia. They have the ability to trade they are just absolute dogshit at managing their economy.

  • Way to ignore the very real problems of the Iranian people by employing Ad hominem against the news source. Great job!

  • If killing is what the U.S. wanted then Maduro would have been dead months ago. It would have been easily accomplished, cost far less money, and resulted in far less backlash.

    She's in no danger of getting whacked by the US; she'd either be Maduro'd or pushed from office.

  • Installing Collabra Office on a Windows PC requires the use of the Microsoft Store. Ick.
