  • No, quite the opposite. If sexual pleasure is the only thing going great in a couple, and that the joy of being with each other isn’t enough for someone to put a condom, one should probably reconsider if said relationship is still a loving one.

    I’d prefer an asexual relationship with someone I deeply love to a very gratifying sex life.

    I seriously can’t understand those who don’t use condoms by default. No contraceptive is 100% foolproof, so using a backup is always a good thing.

    And seriously, if the friction is the only thing that make you enjoy sex, and not with whom you have sex with, you seriously should reconsider your relationship.

    Édit : to clarify, I’m not saying that sexual gratification is a bad thing, just that it shouldn’t be the only mean of gratification.
    Doing it with someone one love is as gratifying as doing if for pure sexual pleasure, if not more, so if having a condom (which some might find uncomfortable) is enough to ruin sex for a guy… Maybe that relationship has more to do with pleasure than genuine love.









  • In Europe we do produce EV, so tariffs make sense considering BYD and similar cars price are due to heavy CCP subsidies (direct and indirect). Sure the labor is cheap there, but not enough to sell cars that low.

    You got batteries sold way under manufacturing price, but only for cars build by Chinese manufacturer (foreign manufacturers never get such discounts), you got various subsidies and payment facilities, unrestricted access to China rare earth monopoly, among other schemes.







  • There are not many cards you need these days, especially not that doesn’t have an USB equivalent. USB capture cards are now decent, same for Wi-Fi+Bluetooth ones (provided you buy one with deported antennas). Other than storage related ones (for moar m.2!, or for sff SAS ports), I don’t see that much uses these days.

    Even my NAS, which uses a micro-ATX MB, only uses one slot on the 3 available. And all its 4 m.2 ports are used (2 for redundant system discs, one for an AI accelerators (for Frigate object detection), the last one being an old SSD used as ZFS cache for my main disk array (will probably be replaced by another AI accelerator once I find another use which would need one).
