Personally I don’t think it’s a good idea. I mean, why only a one time tax? This should be permanent. I guess I will vote for it though…

‘can,’ maybe, huge pain in the ass more likely. I’m far from an expert, but I’ve had much more success with AC. That oxide layer rebuilds itself pretty quick…

if your poor, try not being poor. Good luck.

welding aluminum requires TIG. It’s harder and more specialized.

welding mild steel body panels are simple with equipment any body shop will have.

My kids keep asking why I have to go to work when they have summer off. Its harder cause their mom is a teacher and has the summer off.

according to the Wikipedia page, only 13 problems could be solved.

A total of 13[35] heavyweight torpedoes of type DM2A4 Seehecht can be carried.

Unfortunately I see a lot more boats than that.

I talked to some folks who worked at Laika a while back at a party. They loved working there. This was some years ago, and my memory is a bit beer soaked, but they seemed happy and proud of what they did.

its hyperbole for clicks. the guy recognizes Aardman in the video and basically just says they are not doing well financially which seems true. https://www.business-live.co.uk/enterprise/aardman-animations-faces-financial-woes-32724904

the parental control thing is a thin smokescreen. Its about control.

The reality is our OSs and the websites we visit know exactly who we are. They know our blood type, they know if you are pregnant before you do. Why would they need your ID?

Colorado also has a bill and there is one in the works at the federal level. But yes, its bullshit.

I want to say Russia doesn’t consider it a crime to hack as long as the system/IP you are accessing is outside Russia. No source on that cause Im lazy, so take it with a boulder of salt.

Looks really slick, there are some really nice looking features shown. I do have some concerns though.

First, it requires playstore to be installed. I try to degoogle my device as much as possible so Im not sure this would even work with MicroG Services.

Second it seems like a proprietary software built on Open Source platform. Right now they claim they dont do anything with our data, but that is one policy update from, ‘actually the data we have been collecting is now actually worth something sooo…’

Lastly, as a proprietary software company they have this pesky link at the bottom of their page Pricing. Currently it doesnt link to anything, and honestly that has me more worried than if it just showed a page that said we are trying to figure out how to make money off our users, and we dont know how yet. I dont have an issue paying for software I use. There are a couple open source projects I pay monthly/yearly fees to. I just prefer it to be up front. If they said they were open sourcing the code and want a subscription fee, I would be on board. No plan is kinda sketchy.

I’m spoiled here in CA, we got some really legit spots. Did the birra craze hit the east coast too?

if you look to Chipotle for this “burrito culture” you talk of you are already lost.

Wouldn’t that end up with a big survivorship bias? The truly corrupt would have no retractions from authors or institutions and there are potential incentives for publishers to not retract.

I switched to Nobara a couple months ago. My computer is a lot snappier. Overall its great. Some minor difficulties but no show stoppers.

Signal desktop gives me an error that it is keeping credentials in plaintext which is fucked, I tried to get it to not do that but havnt been able to figure out how. (there are tutorials for ubuntu/gnome, but I havnt figured out how to translate those to fedora/kde…

I just started using crow-translate which is amazing, but keep getting a screenshot error message. Something with wayland maybe? again when I search there is a lot of shit about ubuntu/gnome but that doesnt really help.

So don’t attack the pawns, recruit them.

There are plenty of troops that just repair cars. Maybe those cars get used for murder, maybe they don’t. It’s a complex moral problem that is different for everyone at different levels.

By saying fuck the troops, you are falling into the trap the owners want. You are focusing on pawns rather than the kings they want to be.

Choice 1 be dirt poor or join the military

Choice 2 obey orders or get thrown in military jail
