Good. Now cover it in huge colorful feathers.

That person has some kind of problem. Or a time machine. Who are they?
- Comment on Into the meat grinder! 1 week ago:
I’d restrict it to the 2010s to be sure. But it varies from one specialty to another.
- Comment on AMEN 1 week ago:
There is a burner at the end. And a nicely designed foot that fits under things and isn’t too unstable.
I honestly don’t know what of this he invented and what we just standardized after the fact. In fact, all of the 3 elements are different from the one I have and the one on the image.

Hum… Galileo would like a word about that…
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I’d be wary about learning history from a professional gold bug.
Somehow, all the civil wars, popular unrest, and separatist movements aren’t even mentioned. And Spain did learn a lesson about that “less gold and silver entering Rome is the real problem” thing a thousand years later.
- Comment on Brazil eyes tariff hike to counter possible surge in Chinese imports 1 week ago:
Nothing on the article on your comment makes any sense. I’m not sure if there’s some way to interpret the article that even makes it coherent. (Was it translated by AI?)
Anyway, the source is “a Brazilian government official, who noted that so far, no significant increase has been observed”. So, it’s a shitty report about some random person spewing bullshit over no real event at all. Besides, there’s nothing there about US imports changing in value either.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 4 weeks ago:
The Brazilian plug has none of those problems…
Also, what European plug are you talking about? There are quite a few models there.
- Comment on Whenever a beast is shown on screen 4 weeks ago:
Hum… Owls and tigers know how to make a lot of noise too. We don’t really know if the tyrannosaur is hunting or just trying to get ride of the people.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
People will adjust. What happened on Portugal and Spain was caused by excessive centralization of the power grid, not by digitization. If somehow we can’t keep the centralized grid running anymore, we will break it down, and bear the extra costs for that.
Also, the sequence of a catastrophe is almost never a riot. Where do people get the idea of riots? People just go and do the right thing.
Seriously, has none of the politicians ever thought about this?
The technicians did.
Where are the backups?
You mean generators? Lots of people have those.
Are we just going full “YOLO” on the reliance on the power grid?
I would understand this question if you lived in 1925, but by 2025 you should know the answer already. Are you so blind about everything that needs electricity that you think disaster would come from the lack of money?

Not wasps. The majority of wasps you’ll see are fertile.
Also, insect hives can house several fertile females. Some exist around a single queen, but they are an exception, not the norm.
- Comment on Is it normal to not have any malicious login attempts? 1 month ago:
Yes, it’s normal.
If you look at the logs, the bots are probably all trying to exploit some Webpress vulnerability or trying random passwords in /login.php.
- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 1 month ago:
Seems like you are from the US.
As much as “left” and “right” carry any meaning anywhere, in your country those words have been redefined to the point they are completely meaningless.
If you have any left-leaning organized political movement, it never makes the news. You only have extreme right.
- Comment on Will the tariffs lead to a recession? 1 month ago:
No, they are too late for that.
They could if Trump picked another other to implement his policies.
- Comment on How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs? 1 month ago:
Yes, as you said, they aren’t a new concept. We have plenty of evidence, of countries that tried that again and again. We know what he is doing is stupid.
Besides, your theory on tariffs won’t even get to be tested. Kidnapping people at random on the street and sending them to concentration camps has an overwhelmingly larger impact on the economy than the tariffs. People from outside of the US will only focus at this if you start to invade other countries, but at this point, nobody inside the US should be concerned with tariffs, at all.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 1 month ago:
I see. So you are ready to try the “increase all costs” route now…
- Comment on Tesla suffers worst quarter since 2022 as deliveries tumble 2 months ago:
But Tesla stock is 75% hype
It has been adjusted recently, but it was around 99% (P/E of 100 times what other car companies have), so it can’t be lower than some 95% now.
- Comment on Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him 2 months ago:
They tell you stuff similar to the training corpus that the people tagging it want to hear.
It’s close to what you said, but the difference is actually important some times. In particular this one seems to not have been exposed to “corporate speech” while training.
- Comment on Blood for the Line God! 2 months ago:
He surely needs a passport. Where did you get the idea he doesn’t? Also, landing from outside a country or international block directly into a private airstrip is a big “no” on most of the world, and will land you in jail in a few places. He doesn’t get an exception for that.
He also will continue to be able to own property around the world, and people will keep accepting his money. That’s completely different from him managing to just run into a country, peacefully living there, and being able to mess with such country’s society.
- Comment on Blood for the Line God! 2 months ago:
The US wealthy are now international wealthy and borders no longer matter to them.
That used to be the case until last year…
But I don’t think it is still true.
- Comment on Dig this trench to protect your landlord's ability to gouge your decendants. 2 months ago:
They think that once all the capital is destroyed, they’ll get to live like kings by taking the full value of their work.
And they won’t accept to learn their work is only that valuable because of that capital.
- Comment on how do they decide where to put bus stops? 2 months ago:
If you are expecting consistency from something like this, you should try getting involved in local politics at least once.
Whatever way you imagine for deciding it, the answer is yes, they do that.
Do they gesstimate? Yes!
Do they hire engineers to guesstimate? Yes!
Do they concede to popular pressure? Yes!
Do they concede to money pressure? Yes!
Do they use the placement to guide the city’s evolution? Yes!

Well, that’s normally the point of observing…
