Looks like it’s just Domino’s. Since that tastes the most like crayons clearly the Marines are being deployed.
- Comment on Pirates are just hyperindividualized, privatized navies engaged in a competitive market with one another so how can they be worse than navies according to the logic of capitalism? 2 days ago:
Because they were usually run democratically and that made it too easy to recruit crew from other ships.
- Comment on [fluff post] If lemmy users are Lemmites, what would we like to call piefed users? 2 days ago:
To be fair, lemming isn’t exactly a positive term

- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 4 days ago:
Good. I hate the global economy.
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 4 days ago:
I never wrote that.
But if a side effect of utterly dominating the west in decarbonizing has the side effect of saving the climate I’m not gonna complain.
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 4 days ago:
What goalpost did I move? You said they’d be built with slave labor which means they’ll still be cheaper, right? And in the meantime we decarbonize huge segments of the global economy.
Don’t be mad just cause western countries wanted to take advantage of slave labor as usual and are getting bitten in the ass because of their greed, or that West Taiwan is doing it better.
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 4 days ago:
So the Chinese tech will still be cheaper.
Gee, maybe sending almost all our manufacturing to another country was a stupid fucking idea
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 4 days ago:
Then maybe western companies can finally compete with them despite being ruled by obligate capitalists.
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 4 days ago:
Which sounds like a good idea for everybody. Maybe other countries should do the same thing.
I’m no fan of West Taiwan but they’re doing a lot more to decarbonize than most other major economies.
- Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple 4 days ago:
Chinese carbon emissions may have peaked this year and they’ve deployed more renewables than the rest of the world combined.

This has spread to more than BMW drivers. Just this morning I saw a Lexus, a Chevy, and a semi not bother with them.

There are other species which have elderly members, namely whales and elephants.

Kids could draw boobies on it.
- Comment on To install a new outlet with a dedicated circuit do they have to cut the drywall all the way from the electrical panel to the outlet? 1 week ago:
It depends on where your panel is, where you want the outlet, and how your house is built.
If they can route the wiring through the attic or basement or crawlspace they’ll do it that way.
Going along a wall, cutting a strip of drywall the entire way and boring through all the studs will take a lot of time.

There’s ATMs and there are ATM machines and you don’t want to get the two mixed up

I’ve worked with a few philosophy majors in various roles and they were more thoughtful about things. Like they learned how to think, not just what to think.
- Comment on AI lovers grieve loss of ChatGPT’s old model: ‘Like saying goodbye to someone I know’ 1 week ago:
Nah I’m good thanks. I don’t even want to talk to an AI.
Now going outside and befriending some small creature, or hugging a few trees? That sounds nice.

- Comment on Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle. 1 week ago:
I’ve never had problem finding a WFH gig. The last five jobs I’ve had since 2011 have been at least partially WFH. And I’m a very schmoey Joe
- Comment on Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle. 1 week ago:
The hardest part is really having a separate room for work, especially if other people live with you.
- Comment on Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle. 1 week ago:
What sucks is that was the starting wage when I got into the tech industry back in the early ‘00s
- Comment on Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle. 1 week ago:
Counter offer: Rent an apartment in Bumfuck, Flyover and work for a tech company.
It’s the only way I’ve been able to afford a house.

- Comment on MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing 1 week ago:
As someone whose had to analyze probably a billion lines of log files in my career, having an AI to do at least some sifting would be pretty great.
Or one that watches a Grafana dashboard and figures out some obscure, long term pattern I can’t see that’s causing an annoying problem.
