- Comment on Chornobyl Nuclear Plant loses power after Russian attack on nearby town, Energy Ministry says 1 week ago:
I cant say I have any intelligence, but it is my uneducated understanding power disruptions to the new safe confinement should be fine? It means they cant detect new problems, but the main confinement is made of concrete? and doesn’t “need” power?
Now, power cut to the active nuclear power plant, which seems to also be noted in this article, well, nuclear power plants need power to keep cool, and hearing a nuclear power plant relying on failing diesel generators to prevent a meltdown…or worse, that is concerning.
- Comment on There's a fuzzy line between clothes and vehicles that spacesuits sit right in the middle of 1 week ago:
The apollo era space suits (A7-L) where generally produced in an “EVA” configuration. It had protective, cooling and comfort layers but no mobilty enhancement. I would personally think they count more as a protective suit than a veichle, as compared to the MMU with mobility enhancing features.
I personally consider the A7-L, not a proper EVA unit, it does not allow activity in space outside of a veichle or terrestrial body. An MMU veichle can be used to perform a wide range of activities outside the ISS wereas an IL-7, could not.
ofc it’s all personal speculation and arguments can be made all around, thats just my take on it.
- Comment on There's a fuzzy line between clothes and vehicles that spacesuits sit right in the middle of 1 week ago:
I would say, a space suit (Being a suit to protect a human agianst space), is clothing like, equipment, such the same as a suit of armour or CRBN suit. Where an EVA suit (Being a vehicle allowing mobilty in low/no gravity areas), is a vehicle like, mech suit, such the same as an exoskeleton.
Yes we generally only use EVA suits in space

The post I was on 5 seconds ago was about imugur and how people where confused when they added posts and comments to the image hosting site. Everyone wants a poece of the social media pie…but we need the infrastructure, the websites that host stuff and do it free and efficiently.

Noted, thank you…now I need to read these papers to learn the actual “best” method of restraint…even though ive never really seen a mouse in my life and likely never will need to restrain them.
- Comment on HELP HIM. 2 months ago:
This pic looks like the same from a post people talked about how this is used to transport lab rats around a lab, that it cam be comforting to them, comfy confinment or something. tldr the rat is safe (for a likely lab rat) and this is humane treatment.

- Comment on What would you do if your gym trainer is 5 minutes late? 2 months ago:
OP leaving out the its happened at least 3 times now sequentially is a big thing. Being late once 5 minutes? Let a person be late, yknow maybe? They are habitually late, thats not a rough morning but a constant lack of punctuality. Yeah, no. They should be ready by 7 sharp, they should be making sure they can be and if they cant making such arrangements with the gym (if they work for the gym)
This is not they are late 5 minutes this one time, this is, my trainer isn’t being responsible, im getting jipped, I have tried escalating it but its not working, what can I do?
- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 2 months ago:
yes, and yes.
The signs where there 2016 and it was even clearer 2020, those people should have done thier own research and used critical thinking… but the truth is they kind of where incapable of that
The fact so many people are not equipped with such skills is half meticulous conspiracy to consolidate power and half Reagan and likewise idots of both parties.
The education system, news media and so many factors that should be helping people be informed and help them to inform themselves have been purposefully dismantled and happenstancely mangled.
It is not an accident, it is not coincidental, it is not a mystery that so many people are not taught critical thinking and related skills. (Hell the gop is still hellbent on getting rid of the modern codification of critical thinking and education best practices (SEL))
It’s like we are complaining of all the people stumbling into things because they are blind and we’re mad because they ain’t really blind they just have thier eyes closed but the systems and people that where supposed to teach them how to open thier eyes was dismantled and they lived thier lives so long blind they cannot fathom anything else, it would mean they where lied to and betrayed all thier life, it is much easier for them to accept everyone is blind and sight is the lie.

Fair, can we start a Make Antarctica Great Agian and encourage some people to move to a “greener” pasture?
- Comment on I wish there was an uninhabited, autonomous zone for folks who want "freedom" to play out their dangerous ideas away from the rest of society 2 months ago:
*See Australia, Taiwan, U.S.A., Japan
Society used to exile people, send them to penal colonies or some people that felt ostracized packed up and left Society. Where? To some of the grea open uninhabited or not so habitatated lands. Taking U.S.A. as an example, there where religious extremists who became unwelcome in Britain, so they left to a place they could practice thier beliefs without competition, America.
Every Society worked better because you didn’t need to imprison or kill people that where criminals and people that where ostracized somewhat had the option of making thier own land. Now every single piece of land is claimed there is nowhere to exile people and no where to just run to.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 2 months ago:
They may have moved on from the structure they had ~10 years ago but there was documentation and interviews about that internal structure. yes it worked similar to that, there where tasks to be done but employees could largely choose whatever they want to work on, there where no formal managers but plenty de facto managers, there was base pay scales but most of the pay was bonuses, that where indeed based on the reviews of your coworkers based on how much work/value you appeared to make for the company. Because valve is private is why it had such a unique structure. Alot of former employees spoke about how that pay structure killed alot of projects and deincetivised maintenance tasks. Then because there was no formal management, if you wanted to work on larger projects you had to convince coworkers to work with you there was no assigned teams or bosses, and if your project took longer then the year, it would be likely there would be no fruit of your labor and you would likely be rated lower, i.e. less pay. Of course no formal bosses does not mean there was not cliques employees that had been there longer and/or had more influence with more coworkers had more power to form teams and trusted when working longer projects, also employees would connect with coworkers so that the work they did would be noticed. Who completed your employee review would be basically random, so you had to hope/ensure everyone knew what you where doing.
Obviously there are alot of issues with this, I hope they have since moved on but last I heard there wasn’t much traction to change it. There is no board to appease and Gabe is the one who made the system, change is difficult for valve.

ah, didn’t hear that, yeah its from heard a long time ago
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 2 months ago:
Yeah, also its less “valve staff get bored and dont do mundane tasks” iirc thier pay is based on what thier coworkers think the value of thier work was, which is usually in how visible/noticeable which discourages long projects thay take more than a year and mundane tasks that are not very clear and visible
- Comment on In this day and age is it possible to create a commune? With majority of vegetables coming from one acre and all put in to get wifi to our subdivision? So the bill is not that high? 3 months ago:
With an llc and enough contracts, sure. Have “investors” pay into some cooperative to buy land/startup, then everyone is somehow working for that co-op which pays for everything?

Niether solution is good but I feel id rather have confidence a drug is safe, even if I had to wait, rather then un-sure but quickly. I understand terminally ill wants quick, but isn’t there already a system to get unproven medication, just you accept risk?
- Comment on YSK about the GI Rights Hotline 4 months ago:
I dont think so, but If you think it has, contact JAG. Went to lookup if they have hotline, CAL GAURD JAG was apparently a trending search…
no hotline but front desk # for CAL GAURD JAG is 916-854-3505
not the same thing but UCMJ reports and legal questions are JAG’s bread and butter

yeah, which is why where you get your degree sometimes matters but with all the standization, strictly speaking a AAEE-T from a shitty school counts just as much as any other school, even if the quality isn’t there.
- Comment on Student Demands Tuition Refund After Catching Professor Using ChatGPT - Slashdot 4 months ago:
Most of the grade was on the tests, I think 70% then like 30% on the “Lab” portion…which was basically attedance and if you turned something in, he didn’t check for accuracy. One of the worst professor at this college.
- Comment on Student Demands Tuition Refund After Catching Professor Using ChatGPT - Slashdot 4 months ago:
I had professor usi g worksheets watermarked by another professor at a college in another state, y’all think anything came of it? He also gave us all the answers to the tests in the form of self graded quizes and let us take them into tests.
HS diplomas became a joke, degrees are becoming a joke…
- Comment on There's probably some kind of deal between cellphone and pants makers to keep pockets small 5 months ago:
yeah, when i’m working I end up leaving everything but my watch in my lunch pail. Half because it can be uncomfortable squatting with it and half I dont want them broken/flung or what not out.
I lept my wallet once while working…never agian. A Kid kept tapping my wallet in my pocket, repeating “Whats in your pants teacher” over and over. I was busy with other children and so had to live with that for like 30 srconds.
- Comment on There's probably some kind of deal between cellphone and pants makers to keep pockets small 5 months ago:
This is why more and more people I know are moving to mens working pants. I can fit my cellphone, sunglasses, earphones, wallet, keys, water bottle, a notepad, pen, pencil, sharpie and meal replacement shake in my pockets (I dont like carrying anything in my hand when walking to work)

You would think its hostage negotiations, boogieman sticking up companies to add A.I. or enshitify, so avoiding it is a perilous task and “big win”.
Literally, just not changing anything is now considered good.

Just when dubs were getting to a point of not being too bad. Subtitles, especially CC have felt especially bad recently. I would rather wait an extra week or two for good sub or dub then have it done poorly or flat out butcherd with A.I…
