  • Now that I've seen the type of people that seek political positions over a few decades, I would push Alec to run for some sort of local office. He's the exact opposite of the majority of assholes who enter politics.

  • I think there is also a cooking skills gap no one acknowledges. For example tofu is way different than chicken/beef/pork. Scares a lot of people away because poorly cooked tofu is 100x worse than poorly cooked meat.

    Our family eats about half vegetarian because the cost difference is still minimal and variety is fun. Animals are also way more evil than most people realize. Cows are basically the only one that won't eat it's friend when they are bored. Not saying it justifies earing them, but I've never understood why vegans put animals on a pedestal.

  • It used to be about safety, and training. Then columbine happened and they made a conscious decision to only protect gun msnufacturers.

  • I have limited exposure to ML for maintenance modeling in manufacturing. LLMs are sort like a parrot with improved guessing abilities and an insane amount of guessing power. It will never move beyond being a parrot, because that's what it is.

  • This is more "he agrees with the last person he talked to" thing he always does. Peter Theil still wants his shithole utopia on Greenland, so he will likely flip back when he talks with him again.

    So stupid all of this.

  • It's unclear if they might. I personally have no idea.

    I have heard from some people at oregon protests that our police are tired of ICE. Doesn't mean all of them, but this legal backstop we have sort of annoys them enough to hate ICE.

  • Since we are losing funding over it, we may as well actually use our sanctuary status.

    In Oregon, no state law enforcement can help with immigration enforcement in any way. On or off duty. Document it and call 1-844-924-STAY.

    There are also laws protecting people from any arrest while at a court hearing, such as citizenship things, but we'll see if those hold up.

  • There isn't enough support for revolution despite what many people here believe.

    Internal violence is always used by fascists to consolidate power. So people who aren't stupid don't use it. Shooting an ICE agent would be used to expand their protection for example.

    There isn't more 'somethings' to do. Voting and protesting is all we really have.

    The problem is a large portion of this country is actually supportive of what's happening. People who are mad are a minority.

  • Edgy of you to assume all of these things.

  • You would be shocked how many people knew the WMD thing was a lie and yet, still went to war over it. It will be the same type of behavior if he were assassinated.

    Im not sure still they won't fall in line after he dies. The bubble they live in is more insane than you realize. I grew up in it.

  • You would do the same if you were a US citizen. Talking tough from a distance is just as pathetic as our inaction and general inability to magically fix our country. Waiting for elections and not escalating beyond peaceful protests is all we can do without handing them the propaganda they need. Peaceful includes open carrying like the black panthers.

    If someone were to actually assassinate the orange one, you guys are way more fucked. The retribution campaign would go way beyond Greenland even if it makes no sense.

  • Yep, there are small furniture manufacturers all over the place where I live. We bought our couch from one of them. $5k for a couch smaller than a sectional from costco. But it's repairable has a long warranty and is much more durable and comfortable.

    We also have a fine wood furniture place that does solid wood stuff. $10k for a bedroom set. I'll stick with ikea until the kids move out.

  • I had a bad case of Strep throat last year and numbers I saw on the thermometer should've killed me. I kept passing out and choking down Tylenol trying to get my fever under control. I was hallucinating so I couldn't understand how much danger I was in. Besides how awful my throat felt and the fever, I never felt scared of dying.

    I lost my vision on the way to the ER after suffering all night. Still took 3 hours in the waiting room because the nurse didn't believe me. Told me I had "man flu".

  • I've started reminding people with youngs sons that they need to sign up for the draft. Always interesting when you ask the ones i know vote republican suddenly realize their votes could kill their kids. Glad I'm old enough to avoid this shit.

  • We have our clients switch to Linux now. Ignition works well enough and it's so much cheaper. It has drawbacks compared to wonderware, or the Siemens stack though. But I'll take those issues over logging into their systems still running on winXP.

  • The slowness was mostly a hardware issue. It's basically like driving a second monitor, and a lot of the slower phones struggled with it early on.

  • They would probably have a panic attack if they learned about megasquirt. Cars being locked down is so unnatural that most of their design allows them to be controlled by open source solutions.

  • Feels like my OG 360 elite just red ringed yesterday. I still use one of the controllers for PC gaming.

  • We do this comparison, with the added "will this save money" modification. My time outside of 40 hours per week can't make me more money unless OT is approved. So that time is worth $0/hr. If the actions i do during that time save me money, I try to do them. It massively increases the amount of money we have for vacations and other fun stuff.

    I'm also undiagnosed hyper focused ADHD, so that may be why. My wife tells me I can slow down, but I absolutely cannot.
