You don’t need capital to hire people, you need demand. The job creator thing is a myth if you’re feeling charitable, or propaganda if you aren’t.

SOMA continues to bother me. Much more about the ideas than the actual gameplay. It’s relevant. It feels more possible every year.

It’s either that or Stingers from Satisfactory, which are zero percent philosophical nightmare and just pure AAAAAA SHITSHITSHIT

Canopy crawler. It lives deep in forests and gets around by climbing high up in the branches with its numerous extremely long limbs. It hunts by grabbing hapless hikers and forest creatures that weren’t looking up, especially at night. Its limbs are crooked and its skin can easily be mistaken for the bark of a young tree, so look up before you get too close to that sapling or grabbing that hanging branch.

One watt per square meter. Not very useful.

I’m pretty sure metric plywood is 120cm by 240cm. You can have twelves in your tens.

It’s more of a philosophy than a system of governance. A government that follows anarchist ideals would not incarcerate people much, but would do a lot to make sure private individuals can’t attain much power over each other. It would be focused on preventing a tiered class system from forming and making sure people aren’t critically dependent on a single employer.

Is there anything wrong with Pandora?

I like to think that the political machine we’re building to combat the Trump administration will flatten the DNC old guard pretty handily. Time will tell, but they barely had a handle on Bernie when there was no organization or understanding of the scale of the fight. I’m hopeful.

Speaking in broad strokes, research yields improvements in the world’s quality of life. I couldn’t begin to list the amount of daily-life items built on research from NASA, but I’m pretty sure polarized sunglasses are one of the prime examples of how pervasive it is. Funding science is how we get cures and treatments for previously fatal illnesses. It makes products cheaper and better. It gives countries the advantage in wars, and may soon eliminate the incentive to wage war over oil.

Three weeks ago, my wife would have died in childbirth without a procedure that was studied and refined through research and experimentation, and her recovery was faster, easier, and safer because of new techniques and devices.

I’ve only been a parent for a few weeks, but so far it’s seeing him develop skills and understanding. He can’t crawl, but he’s getting better at squirming. The basics have been fascinating.

That is a great way to make me start being negative about this Jensen guy

Haven’t heard of him. For me it’s Cult College, Ancient Americas, and a scattering of 3D printing youtubers who aren’t on Nebula.

That guy is like half the reason I still use YouTube.

The original design had a 3/16" stainless shell and some very special glass, especially the windshield. I know that the production model is just a similar-shaped cast aluminum Tesla frame with appliance-grade stainless sheets glued to it. It’s basically a different vehicle from what they showed off.

It’s bait for the ole “I’m 18 and my girlfriend is 11” thing

One of the big pillars to resistance, especially under tight strictures, is to watch for your opportunity and make your move when you get the chance. I’m definitely seeing some sane and righteous people who made it through the loyalty purges, who have decided that this is the best chance to take aim at the king, where they won’t miss and won’t have to deal with him getting back up, so to speak.

That, to demonstrate to the Democratic party that I don’t want to support them if they actively fight against my policy goals, and to help develop a viable third party.

Divisive propaganda got me to vote for Jill Stein in 2016. I would still assert that Clinton was an awful candidate, but I should have voted for her.

I’m successfully jacking up someone’s sagging floor as one of my first solo jobs. I don’t want to make being my own boss a lifestyle, but it’s cool to have the confidence that I can ditch my future bosses at any time and just fly solo for a bit til I get a new one.
