Behold the miracle of the slipping clutch, millenials. See It working without being digital and all without an app by the ancient secrets of mechanics!
- Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors 1 day ago:
Nothing a slipping clutch won’t fix. There already are self-closing doors everywhere. Maybe not in cars but in all sorts of vehicles and everywhere in buildings.
- Comment on Price gouging 1 day ago:
The reasonable way would be to do the prototype with a 3D printer, create a mold and cast the metal. This wouldn’t work here either, but if you already have the CAD/CAM file you could just get it milled by a professional CNC outfit. If you’re not too cheap with the steel, it might not even kill you and still cost less than $1600. OTOH, if you can afford a helicopter that shouldn’t be an argument for you. Half an hour in the air will cost you more than that.

I came out in 1969, too and vaguely remember having seen something like double-sized legos somewhere. No idea where or when. They seem to have come out of fashion pretty soon.

The summary about Schopenhauer also doesn’t sound very informed to me. More like written by somebody with strong opinions about everything, no knowledge of anything and too lazy to do any research. And right so. Understanding what you’re talking about just keeps you from posting “interesting” things like the nonsense claim of Schopenhauer being “not a good philosopher”. Actually, Schopenhauer undisputedly was the best philosopher ever, his world records on 500 meters hermeneutics and full-contact ethics where he single-handedly kicked all three Anglican arch bishops out of the ring are still unbroken.

- Comment on TikTok's 'Addictive Design' Found to Be Illegal in Europe 1 week ago:
Meta got sued and had to pay €1,500 per user in a ruling of a supreme state court which can’t be appealed. There’s a wave of lawsuits expected to follow because this actually means every Facebook user (for now, it might be possible that non-users whose data were also collected will sue, too) can easily sue now. I remember Meta boasting to have the data of some 10M Germans for targeted advertising. Unfortunately that’s hardly robust evidence but I hope they’ll sue them to hell and back.

You can vote me down as much as you want. You still have no clue of chemistry - or anything else you’re babbling about. Morons.

None of the things you’ve described increase the carbon output.
Right. Because none of it is a fucking coal mine. Which is the only thing that can provide “carbon output”. Except a diamond mine, of course.
- Comment on New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into Gasoline 2 weeks ago:
There is no such thing as “carbon neutral”. Nor is there a problem with carbon. You’re talking about carbon dioxide which is as close to carbon as table salt is to chlorine.
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 2 weeks ago:
These server boards are usually the same as scientific and engineering workstation boars. They’re pretty good if you put the right CPU in. Xeon or i7 4770 and you’ll get a quite useable workstation out of them.
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 2 weeks ago:
Non-gamers only. I recently replaced my mobo by a slightly older (the model, the board itself was brand new) industrial PC board. 32GB DDR3, NVidia Quadro K2200, 2 x gigabit ethernet, USB 3.1, five serial ports, three programmable digital IO ports, hardware watchdog, i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz. It’s a Loonix machine and I don’t use it for gaming but I do a lot of animation, video editing, µcontroller programming and 3D-modelling with it. Super reliable, fast enough for most stuff. If I need more raytracing power, I just cluster it with my Lenovo p15.

Actually, it was the Romans who came up with the term “Germani” for the various tribes at the nortthern end of the world. The anglo-saxons being one of them.
