Mine is made from 14g steel. Someone took out my last 2. Even threw eggs and canned foods at it a few times. No clue who I pissed off. Changed out the box, posted on facebook we upgraded it and installed a hidden camera, and they stopped. Funny thing is the post is 3in pvc pipe painted to kinda look like iron (I had to span 4 feet cause the box has to set over an asphalt ditch).

In other words, there’s no way in hell we can innovate and make money right now, so you’re stuck here until the AI bubble bursts. Consumer innovation is on full stop while we focus on the corpos.

Usually in the circumstances the EC differed from the PV it was by 1 to 2 votes, and the overall election was close in the PV. I detest the EC, but if the PV is 60% or more, I’d say the EC would match (otherwise, the US citizenry would likely rebel).

I actually believe this. You’ve seen the footage of the prisons, the treatment. Knowing I’d be used to make my imprisoners more money, with shit food, torture, and no hope for release I’d go out in the most costly manner I could muster.

Is this the beginning of the Butlerian Jihad?

Oh they’re still thinking about them.

Wow, imagine the illustrator reading the request. “We need an ilkustration of a child going into a blade? Like, Fargo detail or Daffy Duck dismemberment?”

Kinda makes you wonder what the world would be like without all the warning signs like hot liquid and cruise control does not drive car huh? I mean yeah, we probably need signs marking minefields, chemical transports, etc. But common sense shit like turn electric off before installation, do not place flammable object in a fire, etc? Darwin weeps.

Social media isn’t a visit to a library, or a sit down with a newspaper or even a conference hall. It’s akin to a brief discussion with a passerby. Some people may stop for the guy on the soapbox in the town square, but I’m sorry if I didn’t come to the fediverse that day expecting a lecture. Your feelings are valid, and I can respect them, but knowing your audience is important.

Isn’t there a law in places that cameras have to have recording lights? I know my Wyze has lights. Why does this not apply to Meta glasses?

I just got comfortable with Bazzite, too. Cept the wrird OOM that popped up with Firefox, still attempting to fix that one…

Well. If you attempt to read it upside down it just invokes Satan and the Antichrist… /s.

I never really understand nautical terms. Wall? No, that’s a bulkhead. Port, left, starboard, right. Bow, front, aft, rear. There are so many more, and I truly believe it is just to show who’s a sailor and who isn’t. (I also enjoy every time Dresden makes fun of this then slowly starts to do it himself)

I read the first paragraph… then I saw the rest and my attention wandered down…

No convenience about it. General Sherman is “accredited” for hunting them with explicit intent of starving the Native Americans.

Beat me to it.

I miss my Palm and Ipaq…

So, am I the only person ever taught to open canisters away from my face?

I talk to streamers every day for work. They will buy whatever they are told to buy. It amazes me how people will buy hacked firesticks or modified apks in an Android TV device for $300, and explain they “beat the system”. If the long term claim is money savings, they’ll believe it. If it’s easier, they’ll buy it. I stopped using Firesticks when I noticed they had constant traffic of 40kb/s even when not in use. Even data sharing would only be pulling at certain times I would think.

The One who Is.
