Yes, and you didn’t have due process when you turned left without signaling, so now you don’t get to go to a judge and say the cop was lying.

It all makes so much sense now!

Dumbass.

In fact, if you want me to create an account on your servers, you are first required to register your OS on my own website.

I love this sooo much!

When a post is a link to an article, I would prefer that the post title match the article. Many news communities actually require that.

Wisconsin already blocks access to all goverment websites if you use a VPN. I can’t even check the garbage collection schedule for my town. I always thought it was this misguided concept that they thought only “hackers” would want to be anonymous. It seems they are really working for the data brokers, who don’t want anyone to be anonymous.

The pause in Calyx updates has nothing to do with Google’s fuckery, and they are not “dying.” They lost a major lead developer and decided they needed to restructure so no one would be so essential going forward.

or dials even!

I could have stated it better. What I meant was that the fraction of kinetic energy that is taken from the wind is so small that the total kinetic energy in the wind is probably not the important factor that changes with wind speed. The dynamics of how the lift depends on wind speed is probably much more important.

We don’t directly harvest the kinetic energy. That increase probably has to do with how the wind provides lift to the blades. Of course, you couldn’t keep increasing like that until the harvested energy is greater than the kinetic energy. But I’m sure at any wind speed we only get a tiny fraction.

I would so love to have my phone and laptop run the same operating system. Would simplify so many things.

With Google attempting to further lockdown Android, the time is ripe for Linux Mobile. Projects like this can help make it a viable alternative.

Thank you so much to everyone working on this!

Yeah, I think that about sums it up.

But also the work itself is never the worst kind of work. Everything that must be done as a matter of survival in a society like that is stuff that some people do as hobbies in a society like ours. It probably helps that there is no one thing that anyone has to do all day every day.

Also their leisure time was probably much more fulfilling. They sang instead of listening to Spotify, told each other stories instead of watching movies, played sports instead of watching professionals do it, etc.

I suspect drudgery is a symptom of modern societies and not a natural state. Imagine being part of a small tribe of nomadic people 500 years ago. When the hunters return to camp with an elk and it’s time for you to help tan the hide or what not, are you really going to feel put out because it interrupted the game you were playing with beads and sticks? I doubt that.

Unfortunately there are a few too many young men who think that all looks “fun.” They’ve been playing at all those scenarios in video games their whole lives, and now they want the real thing.

I identify strongly with the frustration in this sentiment.

But you do realise the US is the foremost nuclear power in the world? Right?

That’s why the world should have done anything and everything possible to keep US from falling into fascist hands. But now it’s too late.

ETA = Edit to add

Just trying to explain why my comment changed, in case anyone saw it before that LOL.

McDonalds gets millions of applications? wtf?

ETA: Yeah, I guess they do.

take the L and walk away.

I’m here having reasoned conversations with thoughtful people. I left the karma farming behind on reddit, and I don’t miss it. I can’t lose.

The word “see” predates the concepts of neurons, chemicals, and photons by thousands of years. We see objects, not light.

The word “see” predates any concept of rods or cones or photons by thousands of years. It has nothing to do with those things.

That’s not what the word “see” means. You’re trying to to swap it for another word like “sense.” You see objects, not light.

The light that enters your eye carries enormous amounts of information with it. Your eye and a small portion of your brain comprise a highly specific tool for extracting a small subset of that information and processing it. The information you use is only related to the last object the light interacted with, not the light itself (with the small exception being the “brightness” - that has nothing to do with the object).

No one claims to hear the air in their ears rather than the violin that is being played nearby. That’s just not what the word “hear” means.
