We spend so much effort teaching children honesty, respect, to share and to empathise. Then we spend the rest of their childhood beating all that back out of them while telling anyone who wants to cling to those ideals to grow up.

Nah, shit holes is what they are adding. Tube stations aspire to be shit holes.

In some version of the myth they actually put an exit back to the living world up there. Sisyphus in life tried to cheat death (even succeeded for a bit) which is part of why he wound up in Tartarus. He could stop pushing the rock any time he wanted, but it would mean giving up on escape.

More expected than impressive. They didn’t invent warped moral frameworks but they do buy from the market leader. The accusations aren’t to convince people to leave the other team, it’s to allow people to justify taking those actions themselves. Stochastic vote manipulation of you will.

Which just goes to show his lack of presidential authority. - magas (I expect.)

Sure, the thing is, to extend the analogy, you are asking for there to be slightly smaller nuts. Nuts that for reasons imperceptible to the eye, won’t fit good bolts. Nuts for which a manufacturer would have to build new machines to make.

It given that you expect to import it via Ali express, it is no more ‘a just now’ solution than doing the job right.

Do you mean slightly oversized plugs to force into old usb sockets? I don’t know how you’d even supply chain that, being that the changes are probably within the tolerance envelope, or you are breaking the standard and that is far from a good idea. I also don’t think this is usually the problem. In my experience it has been less the socket getting stretched and more it getting packed up with dust so the clips don’t engage properly. Cleaning out the port tends to solve the problem.

If the port is actually mangled, better to do a proper fix on it. Because we stick to the standard the part cost is minimal so even if you are going to a tech you are mainly just paying labour and rent.

Probably better than just having their writing scraped and used without compensation. Not much better, mind.

I read a book recently (The Sparrow by Russell, good but harrowing) that referred to such programs as vultures, which was rather long-sighted given it was written in '96. Isn’t even about AI either.

What a time to be alive.

I feel like we need c/humansdrawingspiders.

Larry isn’t a young cat. Steps need to be taken to ensure continuity of government.

A pretty nice desk I’m told.

There are also several parties interested in contact details for dumb as hell audience who don’t mind giving money to obvious scammers.

Labour conditions shouldn’t need regulation, we should just recognise another being’s suffering.

Though if we are going to have governments, they might as well do something useful.

You can get conductive adhesives but it would probably be cheaper to just include a soldering iron in the kit… I’m not sure I would be confident in getting good contact with self adhesive metal tape, your best option there is to probably get a small amount and experiment.

Retro is I find something you are just too young to have have experienced directly. It is your older brother’s cool. Yours is nostalgic; your parent’s, vintage.

This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.

Time is a flat circle, you know the destination but do you know how to get off?

Not going to be useful. They don’t want a democracy, they don’t want a justice system. They want a king and the ability to use state power to shit on other people.

Depending on where you live (and therefore what legal protections you have) you can demand your details. In the UK this is the right of access and is exerted by making a subject access request (SAR).
