The other one they do is “never leaving the tent”
I have been in that many discuusions where someone just has to have the last word, their posts getting longer & longer but making more or less the same point.
It feels like arguing with a LLM.

And they know when we watch, pause, fast forward…
…and all your ID

The all caps get me every time. Just take your damn upvote.

Absolutely. It really blurs the line between fancy autocorrect, mechanical turk & apocolyptic AGI. We can only guess we are somewhere between 1 & 2.

I cant wait till we start seeing them with all the conspicacy-nut writing all over them but the other way around:
Vaccines work, fuck musk, lgbt rights are himan rights etc.

Just make sure you dont use sub-standard copper. Future generations thank you

Does anyone have alternative brands to recommend? Tube or not.

Can you get it in the metal toothpaste tubes?

…you’re just going to power on through and do it anyway.

I could do that or, and hear me out here, I could not do that.

Asianomics did an awesome video on the technology that China is going with for EUV. Not better or worse, it just has different issues.

I used to like some of the old bittorrent clients seeing what other users were seeding. You would see someone with a lot of known killer music and something you had never heard of. It was a great way of finding new music.

Getting an endmill with a dessicant package:

I can only hope my bingo card somehow explodes & kills me.

PS: The level of actual violence isn’t relevant to any of this. A dictator, or a government, that is in full control only need the threat of violence.

That’s why a rules based system is also needed.
Police in Finland also have guns (I assume) but they the rules they follow are the written law, not what the “boss” says.
People will always self organise. If we don’t have a formal representative democracy with all its quirky conventions (like not having the opposition assassinated) we end up with mob rule or tyranny. That might protect some but, in my opinion, allows less freedom for ordinary people.

Slavery is illegal?
I know there are failures everywhere (eg American prison system) but without the threat of state sponsored violence and a rules based system we get the worst kind of corruption.
I’d rather live in Finland than Russia.
