Be the change you want to see in the world

He’s already breaking down mentally from dementia

Because I support the Balkanization of U.S. Nothing good comes from the continued existence of the his country.

I recomend you look up the setting for the Shadowrun TTRPG. The federal government fracturing would result in megacorps taking control of various regions of the country very similar to the game, minus all the magic stuff

The war with Iran is a significant factor in the poor state of the economy though

They’re like the flat Earthers that actually try experiments that end up proving themselves wrong, yet they continue denying it afterwards

Did it refer to weapons that can mow down an entire crowd in several minutes with one pull if the trigger?

At the time, a private citizen could own a cannon. And as was demonstrated when Napolean first took power, a cannon loaded with a canister shell could rip through an entire crowd of people.

Not only that, there were actually repeating rifles available during the American Revolution. The inventor even tried to sell them to the Continental Army, but they cost so much that the Continental Congress wasn’t interested.

Also, “arms” referring to “weapons” is a very old definition.

If you’re seriously making this argument, you clearly don’t understand what “well regulated militia” actually means

Like how Henry Kissinger living so long despite degrading into a puddle years before his death?

Don’t forget how Hitler was obsessed with the equivalent of Harry Potter at the time. He completely believed the self-insert author actually possessed wonder weapons from the books. Hitler even insisted on using military strategies from the books in some offensives depite the author having no military background.

I filled out an IT helpdesk request last week because I couldn’t push any updates to GitHub. I was able to access the site, so I though my access token was retired since that happens every once in awhile.

Nope. It was GitHub. For some reason it couldn’t accept my push despite the website still being up. And I didn’t find out until the tech called the the next day and it worked when I tried to recreate it in front of them

I’d like a federated ecosystem for game mods that uses torrents for file downloads to reduce server load. Something to act as a safe haven in case NexusMods enshittifies. It’d also allow more diverse sets of rules through servers, so you could have versions of Nexus, LoversLab, etc. all sharing a framework instead of everything running smoothly for one and not the others.

Plus, NexusMods have really dropped the ball with regards to permissions. Their default permissions are set up so that if you’re a mod author, other authors need to ask you for permission to use your mod as a dependency. Not just crediting you and linking to your mod, but asking permission beforehand. I don’t see how anyone can look an that and not see it as insanely hypocritical

No idea. Also, my comment is mostly a joke

And the says a lot of random shit just to flame

So you admit he’s an asshole. Why should anyone waste their time on his videos then?

From the videos I’ve seen, he just does trial and error - no math or understanding involved. That’s not engineering - that’s called design. Didn’t stop him from bashing engineers in one of his videos saying that school was pointless. After that, I stopped watching his videos. Thankfully I only wasted time on 2-3 of them, including the swearing roomba.

Meanwhile I highly doubt he knows (or knew) anything about fatigue, trusses, or kinematics, things you have to have an understanding of in mechanical engineering. Maybe he learned after the fact, but I don’t really care.

As a mechanical engineer: if a software engineer completed school, they’re an engineer, deal with it. We’re not talking about someone that doesn’t know what they’re doing cobbing things together for 1-off demos like Michael Reeves

I’m skeptical. Isn’t the EU Commission the body that’s in the pockets of industry lobbyists?

Aka, pretend it’s Spanish, since it’s a word from pretend Spanish (specifically Esperanto, not Portuguese)

And if you hold the election and Mitch appears alive and well later, then Mitch takes his seat back. Not hard to figure out
