It depends. I think more than anything, people in the same socio-economic class tend to be able to emphasize easier with each other, which is why those that are wealthy can’t always put themselves in shoes of someone less fortunate than themselves.

Truly erasing the carbon footprint for hundreds of miles around!

So is it Copper or sulfate?

Looks like someone at nhtsa watches Fortnine, seems to line up with what they were suggesting.

Nice.

It’s always the ones you most suspect.

Still running a Samsung note 8, probably the biggest thing I dislike is kinda wish it was a little smaller. It might fit in my pocket better, would probably be easier to hold, and I would be fine having other devices for stuff where I need a bigger screen. Not a huge deal, but I do kinda miss having a medium sized smartphone.

Dang, up a percent in a year? That actually is pretty notable for Linux. I know it’s gotten easier to install and use (easier distros), but could this be more a shift to mobile over windows or macos?

Yeah, but when you are doing that you are basically just comparing to what it can’t be. This would be looking at any possible way to design a mechanism to (for instance) turn a semi auto to a full auto, which is to say having something that can independently look at stuff, automatically redesign them in all of the unexpected ways, and ban those from ever being printed.

Yep. Plus, what measures would be required to defeat basic printer blocks? Could it defect differences in tolerance? What if you redesigned an internal part to make the overall print slightly different? It an endless task that doesn’t seem like it will be very useful for anything other than random surveillance.

Sounds like they are trying to crack down on people trying to print bump stocks or something. Truly sounds like a damn stupid sisyphisian task that can be used to survail what is being printed on common printers.

They also often have a lifespan, even if it is generally a long one. The US is beginning to have to decommission a lot of dams across the country, because they have become a danger to towns downstream from them. And it’s both not cheap and not usually viewed as necessary until one bursts and does a lot of damage.

Depression never ended, and the robber barons own everything. Good news is housing is cheaper, but food slightly more expensive.

Sounds about right. Most of the Japanese manufacturers have had to put a higher amount of effort on reliability, in large part due to Toyota’s amazingly strenuous testing of reliability before they even consider dropping a new product on the market. As a bit of a bonus to that, once reliability was upped, making more sporty cars could be achieved because you had the budget to change around the driving dynamics of a car without making it inherently unreliable. The Miata is probably the best example of this, as while each generations drivetrain usually isn’t too special (outside of being high revving), it manages to handle well and be reliable while doing so.

I remember playing Rollercoaster tycoon on windows 95.

I don’t even think it’s a question of innovation, more just perceived reliability. A large part of the reason Mercedes and other German brands were considered high quality was that they were more reliable than a lot of other brands on the market, while being good to drive. That isn’t really the case anymore, and Toyota and Honda have that basically cornered that market to the point that it’s an outlier to fine one that isn’t reliable.

Which is a repackaging of the red panic.

I kinda suspect it’s the latter. I drive around pretty randomly for fun, and the amount of Trump signs and flags in yards is arguably higher than it has ever been. That being said, I think it’s pretty telling they rarely have a Trump/Vance sign, so if Trump were to step down they’d probably lose pretty heavily.

I hope so, but I have my doubts. I’m in greensboro now, and I see his signs pretty often. My only hope is that Trump supporters actually listen to what he says, because they tend not to actually like him when they look into what he says (had at least one coworker that’s a trump supporter express support for him, but when he actually looked him up, he didn’t like him that much).

Interesting concept, but it’s basically trying to store hydrogen for winter, with up to 60% losses. It’s main advantages are that it’s kinda simple and shouldn’t have a charge/discharge limit, but it’s really just meant for cold climates where you would have a surplus of solar in the summer and you could use it much later, like in the winter. Not gonna be great for grid level storage, to lossy.
