I just read an article stating that Ford lost 36k on every EV they sold in 2023… In a market where they had government protection from Chinese EVs.
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 2 days ago:
I think you would be surprised. The problem really comes from the car not being a good shape to put solar panels on. I did the math a while back, and I only needed 200w of panels to cover my weekly driving.

That’s what the batteries are for?

- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE raids? If an ICE agent breaks in without a warrant or holds you at gunpoint, what do you do? 4 days ago:
See, this is exactly what I was talking about. No, I’m not doing any of that. Take a hike.
- Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch 5 days ago:
My WiFi wouldn’t work until I disabled fast-boot in the BIOS and restarted the system twice.
TBF, even with that headache, setting up a windows 11 machine without signing up for an account and personalized ads takes more effort. So I consider it a total success.
- Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch 5 days ago:
Shutdown doesn’t actually turn off the PC anymore. You need to do a restart if you actually want to “shut down” the computer all the way.
I see way too many systems where the CPU has been up for more than 100 days.

No, it’s not that. You’re definitely wrong. Slaves being bought, sold and abused were complying with the law, and that did not work out for them. People of Japanese ancestry were complying with the law when they were moved into concentration camps during WWII, and that was not okay. Just complying with the law is not going to protect you from harm. To add to this, black people had to fight against the law for almost a century in order to get recognized as equal to white people. Women had to protest and non-comply with the law in order to get recognized as equal to men. So active non-compliance is practically a requirement for things to change for legally marginalized people.
The real problem with explaining it all is that every time I see someone going hard to defend the absolute dumbest, room-temp IQ, stance on a situation, it’s usually you, or like 3 other people. I don’t even have to read your name to know a post belongs to you, the absolutely backwards crap you post has it’s own very unique style that lasts substance or tact. I don’t think you could be convinced that you are wrong, despite the preponderance of evidence that you couldn’t be further from the truth.

Comply with the law and nothing will happen to you

I concur. Don’t listen to internet keyboard warriors.

You gotta make that home-field advantage work for you.
I can send you some great instructional videos from Kevin McAllister.

- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 1 week ago:
Yeah, you can’t yell at someone to RTFM when they didn’t opt to use the product, and the “manual” is just a barrage of question on a Microsoft support forum where every answer goes to a Microsoft.learn page that hasn’t been updated since 8.1.

- Comment on "Microslop" trends in backlash to Microsoft's AI obsession 2 weeks ago:
It’s so fucking bad.
I’m currently having an issue on my work machine where my Windows App doesn’t close properly, and will hang the next time I try to connect to a virtual desktop unless I kill it in the task manager.
Imagine the crazy vague answers you get when you search for “Windows App won’t close”.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 2 weeks ago:
The problem is Microsoft is trying to push the corporate environment away from on-prem infrastructure and into the cloud. There is less and less you can do from Active Directory and Group Policy, more and more of it gets moved to InTune everyday.
Microsoft is pushing Azure Arc as well, which is intended to let you manage your on-prem resources using your cloud management interfaces.
- Comment on Snitches get switches 2 weeks ago:
but other areas it would be illegal to ignore invasive plants and not remove them.
I’ve never been in a park or area where you, as an individual, were legally liable for not removing invasive species.
That being said, I did get in trouble for having thistle in my yard, but there was a specific city ordinance against thistle, and not against invasives as a whole (otherwise most of the fucking neighborhood would be torn up, which TBH would be great.)

Not science.

No argument here. Science was also used to develop airplanes and buildings. You can create with the knowledge earned from science, but religion (can) give the justification to misuse those creations.
t is not about the tool but how we choose to use it.
Well said.

By your reasoning nobody learns anything before they go to university?
Absolutely not what I said. Please re-read my comment.
Because in what other educational environment you would read multiple books’ worth of information about a single subject…
Yeah… You definitely did not understand what I wrote. Read it again and see if you still feel the same way.

Reading can be part of learning, but just reading Wikipedia is not. If you want to learn something, you need to invest the time in it to understand not just the words, but the context of that information, you need to be able to apply what you have read, and make use of it, even if that use is purely academic.
For instance, you can read about the American civil war on Wikipedia, but a history teacher would not say that you learned the history of the American civil war. You would need to read multiple books on the situation before the war, during the war, and after the war, along with exploring the relevant technologies available at the time. You’d also want to look into primary sources like the diaries of some of the major leadership on both sides of the conflict, and review maps of battle sites and troop movements with time and dates, maybe even go visit some of the major battle sites, and at that point, you could say you’ve learned the history of the American civil war.
Same thing for space. You can read the Wikipedia article on space, but you can’t claim that you learned about space from that. You’d need to look at other sources, rely on previous education you’ve had in school, maybe make some observations of space on your own, watch interviews of astronauts and astronomers, and then you can start to say that you’re learning about space.
Learning takes an investment from you. Simply reading the material is not learning, you need to interact with it.
- Comment on I feel like half the neighbourhood is on fire and everyone is carrying on like everything is normal 3 weeks ago:
This is it 1000%
In the US, probably 75% of the population will irreparably fuck up their entire life from a single missed paycheck, which can happen if you miss a single day of work because you were illegally detained.
Not like “oh, I’ll need to pay a late fee fuck up”, I mean, “you and your kids will die cold and hungry under a bridge” fuck up.
- Comment on you're doing ReSeArCh rong!! 3 weeks ago:
I hated chemistry in school, because it was teaching us irrelevant shit like the electron structure of atoms.
It’s only unimportant because you don’t care. Reading random facts on Wikipedia isn’t learning, it’s just reading. You can read the Wikipedia page on juggling, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggling) but I wouldn’t expect you to understand (much less, perform) a 3 ball cascade, reverse cascade and waterfall after just reading the page. Those are very basic juggling patterns and fundamentals to more advanced patterns, such as juggler’s tennis, mills mess, boston mess etc… and that’s the difference between learning, and reading.
Not ripping on going on a Wikipedia dive here, it’s one of my favorite things to do, but recognize that it’s not the same as learning

Reading flock their own response about their security and recording it via one of their active and installed cameras was fucking great. I mean, it was nightmare shit, but at a certain point, you have to appreciate the irony.
