Please do not perceive me.

  • Nah, if you do it right the wafers are thin enough that you won't stick to things. You want them to be able to react to nearby EM fields, which means they need to be small and light so they can vibrate (? I don't 100% recall the exact function they perform to give you this sense). Which in turn means the magnets are small and light enough that they aren't likely to stick to objects, or wipe credit cards, or damage your phone.

    But probably don't pick up powerful magnets with those fingers and probably don't get an MRI on your hands.

  • I've wanted to do this from the very moment I learned it was possible, circa 2014.

    Unfortunately it's kind of difficult to find a doctor who will do this sort of elective surgery for you. So my options are kind of just, do without, or do it myself. So far I've just done without. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't give the occasional side eye to the kitchen knife whenever I've had a bit to drink.

  • This incident will be reported.

  • This is a real life hack. I'll flip a coin to make a decision all the time, not because I'm beholden to the coin's result, but because while the coin is spinning I'm suddenly aware of which side I hope it lands on.

  • "Could American Evangelicals spot the Antichrist?"

    The answer is, resoundingly: no, they cannot, despite having an entire Where's Waldo-esque guide to spotting him listed in their holy book that they love to claim to have read.

    I'm an atheist (reading the Bible critically will do that to you); and even I readily recognize that Trump, and men just like him, were explicitly called out and warned against in Revelations, among other chapters.

  • That exact Linux kernel mailing list was pretty likely fed into the AI as training data.

  • Religion was most useful to us when it was used to reign in kings who feared nothing except the wrath of God. It was, in fact, quite effective at that and I think we're largely better off for it. That use case has outlived its usefulness by now though.

  • Correct, she's not a cleric at all, she's a sort of half cleric the same way a paladin is.

  • People who own this car probably do care to fix the problems, they just don't have the money that's required to do so.

    Oligarchs have the money, they just don't have the desire.

  • Hell, it'll dehumanize yourself and make you into a monster. A man becomes different when he's behind a mask. Having your best soldiers mantle the demons and discard their inhibitions makes for a terrifying fighting force.

  • It's both, that's the funny

  • Oh yeah it's totally a bullshit argument, it wouldn't hold water in any court. Hell if nothing else, the ground stations like you said, or the country whose airspace the center exists over, would be in jurisdiction.

    But I do believe that Musk believes it's a get out of jail free card.

  • Putting them in space also puts them technically outside of the legal jurisdiction of any country. I figure fElon probably assumes that means said servers can never be subpoenaed.

  • I think it is likely that the Ukraine war will be widely considered the beginning of a series of events that will later be labeled "the ramp up to WWIII", of which this is an indirect extension.

  • They aren't defending shit

  • Chad mod action nuking whatever this exchange was but leaving the bit at the end where the guy was humble and respectable

  • This can't be a good financial decision for them, but holy shit is it based.

    My cousin put a hat on their cat for new years. He doesn't seem pleased

    I probably got this rule from 196
