  • I wonder how this will impact us infrastructure types. I am sure there must have been an exception to the rule at least once in my career but I can’t recall any, code I have made for all governments has been open source and if you lost it somehow I would just email it.

    My only concern would be the systems that my code runs on top of won’t be willing to share. It is one thing to demand it from me, another to demand it from Siemens. Then you add in very low level code for individual devices such as VFDs

    I guess the nightmare would be that PLC/DCS/VFD makers would basically be blacklisted and I would have to work around that fact.










  • Well, three of them are construction workers, and one is a kid misusing a tool, is what you want me to say.

    Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Great job.

    Hey you know what has never happened to me? I have never been attacked by people in sheer terror when I handled a multimeter during a riot. Funny story I did have to go to a customer site very close to a BLM protest. No problems, guess when you are holding tools in your hand and have a hardhat on you are invisible as you present zero threat. Some people are trying to keep civilization going and others are waving guns around, what can I say.

    Fine but yeah let me engage with your “argument”. As I noted before the use cases for a gun are an almost invisibly small fraction of what they actually get used for. For every guy out there who needs to use one to hunt or will starve there about 1 million out there who are wannabe tough guys with small dicks or school shooters. When something is used as a weapon 99.999999% of the time it is not a tool.









  • Why? The Heritage Foundation are an intellectual joke. They can’t win in the war of ideas, they can’t suggest ideas that will last any test of time, and now are actively working to make their whim law crushing democracy itself. So if they are a joke why not mock them?

    And in this event is the seeds to beat the bastards. They want us to be scared they want us to take them seriously. Some group of script kiddies made them say gay furries. To actually go out there and talk about gay furries. Serious men in serious suits saying gay furries.

    Keep it up. Make them talk about sex toys, pointless fandom debates, body fluids, anything that brings them down to the level of mockery
