I’m sure they were directed to do it so the rest could continue to spit in our faces.

The fact that he pardoned Guliani so much later as if he’s just an afterthought is hilarious. He absolutely used the man and let him go by the skin of his teeth.

But I just saw a 256Tb drive on TikTok for $80. Surely this can’t be true!

Ok, so the actual size I can’t remember, but I do find those ads for counterfeits hilarious, just wish everyone knew they were scams.

Except most of the Founding Fathers were Deists. The churches of the time were mostly semi-Puritanical, and to an Evangelical, would be an absolute horror. A church that held so strictly to doctrine that they punished everyone for anything sinful, actually cared for the poor and sick (if only to bring them into the fold), and preached damnation and punishment in Hell. Stark contrast to the newer Prosperity Gospel (aka Grift), philandering, do what I want to whom I want and ask forgiveness at the end Evangelicals. The Founding Fathers were against religious control because they knew they wouldn’t be able to do much, or lose their power, as it would be seen as sinful. Now the Church has become so damn corrupt it now gives politicians a pass so long as it brings the Church more money. At this point I’m waiting on a holy war or two and a schism of power to eliminate the Church’s power again…

Now? Getting? This shitshow spewed diarrhea to the ceilings like a high pressure hose down a sewer pipe from November on.

If you look at humans as dumb apes, you will never be amazed, except for the few times we do impressive and intelligent feats.

$60 for a 3d printed device. If you’re selling it for that much it better at least have a vacuform or molded shell. At the very least, offer it with a lower price and an stl to print yourself

Yes. I am so excited to see even more computers in a car. I can’t wait to see how much more dependent a vehicle can be on technology that is fragile, volatile, and expensive to replace. Anything to make it harder to repair, and to get as much data as possible, right? I need to befriend a Cuban mechanic…

If you live in America, you know that guy who says shit like, “I’m not racist, but…”, then the guy who thinks women are inferior, then the guy who is all out racist, then the Christian guy who’s told America’s Religion is at stake, then the guy who owns stocks and sees Republicans as his route to eternal wealth, and then ratio that into each American’s collective of acquaintances. Then of all the other people left, only 40% of them bother to vote. Harris could have won probably if more registered Dems bothered to vote. But we all look at the bigots and groupthink takes over, as no way those assholes could win anything.

Days. FTFY.

Man, that woman got screwed over. Used as propaganda to rally women into factories, then after the war swept off and told to do “women work”. I really do not understand how society can claim women are inferior, see them constantly prove otherwise, use them as necessary, then dismiss them quickly after. Countries have seen queens for centuries, and somehow the other women of those countries are deemed less than men.

If we don’t attempt democratic socialism then capitalism will bring absolute poverty to the economy (we’re already so close, but people aren’t eating leather yet), which will lead to revolt, rebellion, and lots of death. Then a most likely scenario will be Communism, where things will likely look good at first, then quickly fall backwards. Then more revolt, then fractured states. We’re about 50 years away from being the Northern States of America, with all kinds of squabbles, different laws, sketchy trade deals, etc. All this will likely end in the worst scenario: Texas is claimed by Mexico and Texans will all be refugees fleeing to other states.

Google would be the worst partner for any space related work. We plan on launching in 4 years. Oh, Google says they redesigned it, oh, now it needs updates. 3 years, 11 mo later… Google cancelled the program, we need to find another partner.

I mean, how often do you see the same damn item from China with a different logo? I bought a cheap cylinder projector for my daughter and I swear the same damn thing came up under 20 different names. I ended up just getting the one with the upgraded speaker.

My problem is that my battery case has stopped charging along with my phone. Phone only charges with high wattage chargers, and phone case only charges with low wattage ones. Still get like 3 days charge on the case, but now takes like 16 hours to fully charge. Also, taking the phone case off so much eventually opened the back of my S20fe. Fixed that with S7000.

Look up while true: learn() on Steam. I had fun with it. It gives basic ideas of coding in a fun way.

Kinda makes you wonder why we voted that food wasn’t a right three years ago huh?

I mean, I’m not a trained tech, but it isn’t hard to open up the heat pump and look at wires going in and looking at the thermostat and making sure they match. Although I admit someone ran stranded wire instead of solid core (one day I might try to fish a new wire). For now I just tinned the ends.

Thorn (þ) is a letter that represented the “th” sound in Old English and other languages. It originated from the Elder Fuþark symbol ᚦ and was used in Old Norse… - Wikipedia

So either a time traveler or perhaps someone located in Europe that doesn’t use th in common language. Further digging shows that only Iceland still uses this character commonly. So, Icelandic spectrum.

I replaced mine with a Sensi. 4 months with Nest, and it decided to confuse hot vs cold signals. Middle of August, it tried to “cool” my house at 3am, instead turning on the furnace, and just kept on going due to the temperature rising. For a week straight, I awoke to 90 degree temps in my house at 3:30 to 4am, and a nice heating bill. I had an hvac friend come over ad tell me in fact, yep, it’s sending signal to furnace, not ac. He checked the wiring, all good. He admitted he knew little of Nests, but said only an idiot would design a thermostat that could allow for a hot/cold signal switch without rewiring.
