- Comment on An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification 2 days ago:
My first thought was maybe this will work for us. Can you imagine how many of these ancient fuckheads who vote for shit like this are going to die every day because they can’t figure out how to log in to their pacemakers and verify their age?

You forgot the one thing that makes this plan a lot more plausible, the pedos can’t stop themselves from trying to fuck children. And if the kids turn out to be the actual predators in this situation, too bad for the billionaires.

I once had a run in with a chick who had a snake in her pants.

I am confused. I distinctly remember news stories about us running out of ss#s. I remember stories of people getting the same number. Wtf?

And that is exactly why it’s not allowed.
- Comment on “Terribly frustrating”: After USPS changes, more newspapers aren’t reaching subscribers on time 1 week ago:
The USPS didn’t need any public funding at any until the Republicans started sabotaging it. It was self funded and doing well even with the scaffolding of stupid laws that it, and only it, were required to follow. Even with thier repeated poison pills they shoved down its throat, it was surviving. They had to put their own saboteur directly in charge to really bring it to its knees.

- Comment on Question: Humidity controlled cabinet 2 weeks ago:
I am no expert, but in my own research for a previous task I had to deal with for work, most everything I saw said that getting below 30-35% for even a small room like a closet was going to be difficult without moving to heavy duty and expensive equipment. I don’t know if there have been improvements in the technology since then (dehumidifiers have definitely gotten much smaller) but you start getting into issues were you are pulling moisture from the surrounding walls and items in the room.
I suspect in you situation you May be able to make some gains with heat, but I have to wonder if how hot you can go before you start seeing problems with the cabinet itself. I have seen cabinet delaminate just from being in hot garages, so I am not sure how hot you can get. - Comment on 10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know, most of the people I know named Cliff for now for some crazy shit, especially if they really need the money.

You think they would if we asked nicely.

No, not metaphorically. What they are saying is that you have to get in there with knees and elbows when dealing with the

- Comment on Rent is theft 3 weeks ago:
The part where you call any and all profit theft. Also the part where you are attacking individuals for trying to improve their lives while the entire mess is caused by corporations and billionaires.

Those school buses can generate a lot of g-forces when doing high speed cornering.
- Comment on Income Tax Is Theft 3 weeks ago:
But most land owners already pay land taxes every year. And the amount of tax you pay depends upon the value of the land. 20 years ago I bought a little house way out in the fucking middle of nowhere, cuz that’s all I could afford. Now, the area around me has suddenly become a hotspot for development and I am paying 4x what I was originally paying.
The real problem, as others have stated, is the loopholes that give companies special rights and privileges. - Comment on Bears or no bears? 4 weeks ago:

Let’s just hope that the politicians never realize the danger of sharpened sticks or they might ban trees and bushes too.
- Comment on FreeCad in docker 4 weeks ago:
That’s true. I hadn’t realized how little it uses the GPU. I have had other 3d cad apps that I have worked with that were impossible to run on a server without a well above average video card, so that was definitely my first thought.
I guess one thing he could do is try some other opengl apps on his server and in the same docker. I have seen some badly configured servers and docker instances that fell back to rendering everything to bitmap.and then using some antiquated x11 bitmap handling routines to transfer the images. The handling of the images was so slow it was impossible to use. - Comment on FreeCad in docker 4 weeks ago:
My guess is that the GPU available on the Serv is either really underpowered for 3d rendering, or not being clearly picked up by the docker. If the docker having to completely render in software, it is going to be slow

- Comment on It's not a bubble! 5 weeks ago:
They are just trying to distract us from the fact that it is already doing what it is supposed to do. Which is enable companies to fire even people and deliver even less on their promises.

Even if you distilled the purpose of living things down to their most basic mathmatical objective, you would still be wrong. At it’s very core the so called raison d’être of living things is to assist in the long term survival of their species. Even for something like a virus which doesn’t even really meat all the basic criteria to be called “living”, overwhelming and killing the host before the virus has a chance to spread is in every way a failure.
Even better is that this argument, the “most fundamental purpose”, when applied to humanity actually means that the “aberrations” that fundamentalists hate most are actually an integral part of the system. LGBTQ+ and the neurodiverse (ADHD, autism, ect) all benefit the growth of the species. Having members that contribute to the strength of the species, who can fight, gather, and assist with the offspring of others without creating their own competitive offspring is a massive advantage when resources are limited. The fact that those same noncompetitive (offspring wise) members can breed if something disastrous happens to the rest of the breeding stock is such a brilliant design that it makes a lot more sense to use that as an argument for “intelligent design” rather than the other shit that is usually dragged out. As for the neurodivergent, having members that think differently and are driven to try things that would be considered outside of normal range is really the only option for growth once the “normal” resources reach capacity.
So, if your argument at this point is that humanity should have all transitioned to be LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent, then maybe you aren’t doing it completely wrong, but I am still not sure that is really the answer either.

- Comment on Most people who help others are doing it as a performance 1 month ago:
You are kind of right but your focus is way too narrow and short-sighted. The better off people around me are, the better off I am. Society is what brings me the comforts and freedoms I have today. Without society I would likely be some peasant living in a hut and trying to farm some desolate piece of land until I died at a very early age.
By donating to medical research, I am able to improve medical care for all, and that includes myself. By donating to the arts I get to see art that I would have never been able to see otherwise. By donating to the poor and things like education, I reduce crime and violence where I live.
So yeah, basically everything you do is self-serving, just try not to be such a basic bitch about the scope of your actions. - Comment on Media zombies would be largely harmless if they lacked teeth and claws. 1 month ago:
I remember back in school how they told us that jumping from the Golden Gate bridge would definitely kill you. In all that time since, I have not died from jumping off the bridge. I have never jumped off the bridge, but I have also never died from jumping off the bridge. So, now I think I was being lied to.
