I imagine him looking like the Pringles guy

Thanks for posting the Besos interview!

Super interesting that they were already hoovering up user data as fast as they could in '97 - half a gigabyte per day.

Not to rail you in the ass, but why isn’t this making the perfect the enemy of the good?

The benefit to low-income families seems massive, and it’s hard for me to accept that taxing revenue instead of profit is enough of a marginal negative to outweigh that benefit.

Looooolll this guy still thinks wood is real

My pet theory is that it’s a reaction to the couch fucker thing. The left made up and ran with a story, and this is them trying to do the same thing. Obvious problem being that it’s racist, dangerous, and not funny, but that’s the right for you.

And I was then double surprised that being inside the sun for a nanosecond would be so devastating!

• 10^-5 J on the surface, when 5 J is needed for a burn
• Surface of the sun is a few thousand degrees, inside is a few million

So like a jump off 10^3. No problem, should still be fine.

Not even remotely! I didn’t look too close, but the equation he linked has temperature raised to the forth, so a temperature jump of 10^3 would result in 10^12 difference in energy.

Which would increase the 10^-5 J on the surface to 10^7 J. Which explains why you’d only have femtoseconds!

A real double whammy of unintuitive results.

I dipped my toes in the self-hosted route and would recommend Stremio + Torrentio + RealDebrid as a much simpler alternative.

Here’s a guide I used - you can probably have it up and running in less than an hour.

Major points:

• Easy setup, easy to use
• Low cost at <$35/year
• Can not share accounts (specifically, RD limits to one ongoing stream at a time)
• Limited customization

I have very limited self hosting experience, and between getting my first hello world service running, problems with my ISP, sorting through the different ways to get content, and not already having TBs if hard drives sitting around, I found it to be pretty challenging.

If you’re already experienced in self hosting (or want to learn) and don’t mind the storage costs, then I’d recommend the Plex/Jellyfin route, but if you just want an alternative to the existing streaming services then I’d suggest looking into Stremio.

I can’t believe you’ve done this

I’m sure that applies to a good chunk of the population, but I think there’s more to “no war but class war” than just dodging personal responsibility.

The owning class needs to convince people to vote against their best interests, and the primary tactic they use is to divide the working class.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

Would winning the class war fix everything else? Hell nah - the rich aren’t just making these divisions up. But they are going to do their best to stoke the flames, because they need the distraction. We need to fight patriarchy no matter what. But the class war is making those fights harder.

All that said, trying to downplay legitimate concerns about oppressed populations by saying “no war but the class war” is very “all lives matter”.

Ah yes, we simply need people to ask for better!

I mean, I definitely agree with you - we should have an educated, engaged population that is able to critically assess what they’re being told and realize when people are trying to distract them from important issues. Of course! That’s still the destination, though, and it’s a ways off.

Why don’t people ask for better?

Because education funding is too low.
Because grocery bills are too high.
Because folks are working multiple jobs just to try to get by.
Because we’ve had to watch Trump/the GOP be weird little gremlins while pretending to have the moral high ground and GOD does it feel good to watch them melt down over being called on it.

“Asking for better” is a healthy salad, and watching someone get dunked on is a greasy fast food burger.
Sure, everyone should pick a healthy salad… but this is America.

In the trailer, Deadpool calls himself MCU Jesus

“Free speech” isn’t the problem though? Butker has a stupid worldview, and Kaepernick was raising awareness of a real and important issue.

They can say whatever they want without retaliation from the government, and that’s freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is not freedom from ridicule or consequences from other people.

It’s not some fundamental question if rights. It’s very simple: your ideas are shit, so we don’t like you and think you should shut up.

I hate that stupid physics ruins this very good joke :/

Xenon and Krypton are noble gasses that are produced from fission, but I don’t think they’re ever the pre-guillotine input.

:(

Ancient greeks would like a word

oleep

Make Brandon Dark Again

Better to do nothing, so we can continue living in a world where minorities aren’t armed, and where racism and oppression don’t happen, right?

America has a mass shooting problem. Gun control sure seems to be an effective way to stop children from being killed in schools, and caring about children being safe doesn’t mean I don’t care about PoC.

The whole point was that A) minorities should arm themselves, which you clearly agree with and B) that IF conservatives are scared of an armed minority population and create gun control laws (which we’re all acknowledging would be intended to harm minorities), there would still be a positive effect in that children would be safer.
