Nah. You don’t want it to rotate, you want to move your hand in a small circle.
You use the wood right before the exposed lead and maintain pressure toward the outside of the spool. The pen clip cap from a Bic or a partially unbent paper clip worked even better than a pencil.

It can if your target demographic has been consistently consuming lead and avoiding therapy for their entire lives.

It shouldn’t be. They want a king.

Absolutely. It’s far more likely with a fork, but deep enough or well placed scratches/gouges on a spoon could create the condition.

That depends on the condition of the nickel plating. Scratched up cheap stainless would probably arc.
- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 2 days ago:
We need to grow our numbers! The only way we can do that is with continued non-violent organized protest. Violence will only reduce our numbers and suppress our resistance.
Erica Chenoweth has a very well researched presentation on the success of non-violent resistance overthrowing dictatorships with only 3.5% of the population. I highly recommend it.
Come out today for the Free America protest! We also have the Good Trouble Lives On protest on July 17th.

They can be exclusive too. If you run a public server in your DMZ, but keep your personal information on a server behind your firewall, the public server is not secure but you are still practicing good privacy.

Geoffrey Hinton agrees.

The media is very predictable for sure. They put on the rose-colored glasses for the pro argument, and sensationalize the worst fears for the con. Historically, the truth lands in the middle.
Unlike the topic of immigration, with the massive wealth inequality of today, anything benefiting corporations over the working class is far more likely to work out in their favor.
- Comment on American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the '90s 2 weeks ago:
That’s intentional. They sensationalize to desensitize. Unlike the introduction of computers or the internet, AI will absolutely take far more jobs than it will create. Goldman Sachs predicts a 50% reduction in US jobs by 2045, and Republicans added a provision into the budget reconciliation that prohibits any regulation on AI for a decade, to ensure that prosperity goes to the corporations.

I see it now. Yes, broadcasting is available, but with the limitations you’ve specified. Thanks for the update/correction!

The API for iOS screen recording is sandboxed to the app itself. There is currently no system-wide screen recording API for developers.

While Microsoft is primarily a software company, they’ve been making CUPs and AI accelerators for several months now.
Also, by all accounts, Apple Silicon outperforms every other SOC on the market.
- Comment on WaaaaAAALLLEEEeee 5 weeks ago:
True. It was also an extremely commercialized capitalist dystopian future. I doubt Linux was being used, and there’s no way Microsoft could create something with WALL-E’s long uptime and low maintenance.

They’re still to be followed until ruled unconstitutional by a federal court or overturned by Congress. The Republicans in Congress are complicit, but federal courts have already stopped Trump over 200 times since his term began. archive.is/zZ9zU

Democrats can only talk. They were voted into minority. The only power they have is the filibuster, and that doesn’t work on executive orders or reconciliation bills.
- Comment on *play imagine being sung by random white celeb* 5 weeks ago:
Maybe you’re not. Try going to protests. Talk to people in person. Leave your echo chamber and share information with those that are unaware. Small resistances get incarcerated, deported, or exterminated. See: Nazi Germany

What else do you propose with 5M people out of a nation of 340M?
The signs on sticks are meant to engage the disengaged. The goal is to increase our numbers, not feed our small resistance to prisons and give Trump a reason to enact the Insurrection Act.
- Comment on *play imagine being sung by random white celeb* 5 weeks ago:
Absolutely correct. Everyone’s quick to criticize the method of resistance as the problem when they’re completely missing the point that a national response of 5M out of a nation of 340M will change nothing.
We need to engage the disengaged, not fight over the content of the protest.

You absolutely should criticize Netanyahu. You should also try working on your reading comprehension. I’m critical of the people who criticized Biden on every Israel post last year that doesn’t say shit about Trump this year. Just a bunch of one-sided shit stirrers.
