Is this why they are crying about declining fertility rates, even as AI is poised to cause widespread unemployment?

Better way to phrase it: it’s a shortage caused by a huge increase in demand, not by a reduction in supply

Most drills that I’ve seen do have a screwdriver setting on them. It differs from normal drilling in torque.

Tribalism is an inherent part of human nature. Capitalism and nationalism certainly exacerbate and exploit this though.

The social dynamic would flip overnight if Americans suddenly had self control.
“If only everyone would get together and collectively do <insert whatever>” we could actually fix a lot of problems.
There is no solidarity in society. Some of that is by design, but a lot of it is human nature.

It’s also why we can’t stop using fossil fuels. Those who refuse to use them will be outcompeted by bad actors and left behind.
If something can be done, someone will do it if it gives them a competitive edge. Classic prisoners’ dilemma.
So what will get us first, AI or climate change?

Pro-tip from someone who is full of shit: Float a layer of tp on the water before doing your business. Useful for preventing both staining and splashback.
- Comment on Connected cars can be hacked, research finds 4 days ago:
Remote hacking infotainment stuff is one thing, but if actual vehicle controls aren’t air-gapped, someone seriously fucked up. All vehicle controls should be strictly local.

The amount of misconceptions and misunderstandings regarding how taxes work is astounding.
See also: tax brackets. No, getting bumped up to the next tax bracket won’t cause you to make less money after taxes. There are some benefits cliffs that do work like this (e.g. ACA subsidies), but that’s not income taxes work.

- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 5 days ago:
Eliminating animal products mitigates the problem but it in no way absolves you from our exponential consumption of finite resources, and in many ways it’s naive non-solution.
Well, I have chosen to not reproduce. So at least my consumption has an expiration date. I’m sure this doesn’t absolve me either, but it’s what it is.
For example: culling and eating pest animals like deer is not vegan
There is something truly distasteful about bringing a sentient being into existence for the sole purpose of exploiting it. Although I don’t hunt (or fish), I don’t take issue with it so long as it is done in a responsible manner. I know “responsible” is subjective, but I’m not taking an extreme position on it.

All those plants kill loads of insects and field mice and birds and rabbits
Eating plants directly significantly reduces the deaths of insects and other wildlife caused by agriculture. It takes a lot of plants to produce meat.

Extinction would be a kindness for domesticated livestock species (or subspecies…whatever they are classified as).
