Exactly

Reminds me of the “internet privacy act” which just eliminate internet privacy by allowing ISPs to mine browsing data. The one exception was for members of congress…

I don’t think that term is very descriptive to describe a group of people that hold such a wide array of opinions. Many of them have missed the mark so brutally that I no longer engage with their content, contrapoints fir example. Others like Hasan, HBomberguy, and Vaush have avoided sticking their foot in their mouths much better. Humanist Report is probably the best source of good takes that I’ve seen.

This is literally the same argument that Elon made in defense of censoring Twitter in Turkey.

I feel like they wouldn’t have bothered trying to ruin USPS if this wasn’t their plan all along.

An arduino would pair well and do some pretty cool stuff, maybe motivate them towards coding. They make some Lego compatible projects too. Maybe also typing challenge games or offline only minecraft

It’s pretty fucked up that wasting our tax money on incompetence and corruption is now objectively preferable to using it to effectively pursue their agenda.

Cleaning helps undeniably force you to acknowledge that you asserted control over your situation and did something good with it. Keep finding moments to overcome the negativity inherent in depressive thoughts and it will have nothing on you any more. Depression’s remedy is usually to take better care of yourself and it makes you not want to, this is why it’s so horrible to overcome, but it can be done with consistent benefits of the doubt to yourself and improving your surroundings one day at a time.

Congress gave you money to do a job, it’s not a suggestion, dipshit.

Same, when the rachet effect going on has been so effective on the other side it no longer behooves us to “be better” than to flip the direction and do the same by the same methods. Righteousness is all well and good until it becomes part of your opponents strategy to take advantage of you.

I know most internet people are ready to offer psychological advice at the drop of a hat, but this is really a question for a therapist because every situation is different and we don’t know your struggles even close to enough to speculate.

This doesn’t seem like something to rush into, personally.

How is it a good approach to formally mandate their cowardice on messaging? If something isn’t popular it has literally nothing to do with whether it’s correct. Also, we can all just look and see that billionaires and Israel are unpopular, yet they never concede those talking points. Why is it that they’d abandon the underprivileged minorities but not the power centers if it’s not all entirely about consolidating their power? That’s their real agenda and this only memorializes it.

Can you imagine a hero in a movie having these beliefs? It’s pathetic that they view politics as such a passive endeavor at a moment where we need activism more than ever.

Definitely a symptom, not the cause or the singular cause. It’s very telling that everyone could see that AI, like robotics, was instead of being a boon for workers having to work less hard, obviously a harbinger of mass layoffs. People understand this system and know the ones in charge of its effects hate us and want us to die.

If the court was doing their job they would have ruled this unconstitutional in the first place. A tariff is a tax, the executive explicitly does not get that power

Probably worth a warm soap soak or maybe vinegar treatment to reduce any calcium build up in the head. Electrical-wise you could bypass the circuit to power the motor and see if it spins okay with either a variac or a variable dc power supply depending on what motor it is. If it still stalls then could check brushes/any gearing jammed up. If it doesn’t stall then I suspect a overcurrent or thermal protection circuit is triggering. Could be corrosion on the board, a heatsink coming loose, or simply a jam you can’t see. Lots of possibilities, but people who work specifically on these would know more about the most likely things.

NYT using neutral speak and missing important context, as always. Anything to cover for those in power.

I keep it simple, two Exos drives in raid1 on a desktop computer facing the network. If you want to make it do other stuff it’s an easy foundation to build on. For a while I used a robocopy script to cut from my dash cam sd card’s event folder any time it was hooked up.

On the bright side at least their health insurance extends during furloughs up to a year.

It’s important to be sympathetic but not capitulative imo.

Wormtongue Miller sure had an easy time with whatever’s left.
