There was no substance for me to respond to. Only fantasy strawmen. I mean, what do you expect when you just make up garbage about fictional "they"s? It was clear you weren't interested in having a conversation. And I'm

Nice strawman. Later tater.

Apparently you don't know the difference between a non-profit with public reporting requirements (what I was talking about) and a government agency (what you misunderstood). I will leave it up to you to learn the difference. Regardless

I'm going to stick with science based health policy over internet conspiracy stew. But you do you. Nice talking. You have a great week!

Holy false equivalence, batman. The oligarchs suck. Public health does not.

It's not age that's the distinguishing characteristic.

doge is a purposely incompetent and corrupt shitshow.

The word would be a better place if everyone was offline more often. They wouldn't be as subject to the propaganda oligopolies.

> So the government passes regulations that cause private equity asshats to jack up prices, Nope. That's not what I said, but nice try. It means we don't allow for-profit companies to run our healthcare. Public. Accountable. No

> The largest component of "mandatory" spending is health spending (e.g. Medicare), and it certainly isn't the case that Medicare is fully optimized. For example, is it overpaying for anything? Yeah, it's over paying

Because they started as a spam farm and now they're a slop farm?

Well, that's a tautology for continuous bounded variables.

Is anyone strictly one or the other? That seems like a huge spectrum and dependent on context.

Because 20ah for a 5v battery is ~357 Wh/kg which is more than the highest density lipo as of 2024 []. Do you honestly think they are putting the most cutting edge lipo technology in a gummy bear branded battery pack? I agree with your

It has the potential to amplify knowledge, but you have to already be skilled and intelligent to be able to identify false information.

Yes, I'm distraught that a central point of failure has been exploited in the internet and now internet does not exist.

Non sequitur. False dichotomy.

Same. I already left windows because of the weird integrations, continuous cpu use, intrusive analytics, slow WSL, and forced reboots. Linux doesn't do any of that or bug you about logging in. It's been a breath of fresh air. I ha

The first amendment restricts the government.
561.
by daveguy 1y ago
The first amendment of our Constitution explicitly protects against the government as the censor. The head of the FCC going on Fox to call for it, is an overreach. You do realize the FCC is part of the executive branch, right?

by daveguy 1y ago
It feels like an overreach because it is.

Have you tried FreeCAD since release 1.0 came out? It has a much improved user interface. I had some trouble with importing files pre-1.0, but on new projects it is much more usable. They are inching closer to SolidWorks, but still a while

Guess you're just going to have to wait and find out for yourself. Bye now, Raw Anon.

You are clearly having reading comprehension issues. That or just twisting words for internet argument points. Either way, I think we aren't getting anywhere in this conversation. So, you have a great day!

by daveguy 1y ago
You are completely missing the point because you are pushing an agenda. Go back and read a little more carefully. And see if you can comprehend this concept: when there's a 60% consensus on a topic and everyone votes for it, that top

If 30% more people vote it won't just be people in "blue states". That's the goddamn point. It'll mean we, as a country, get closer to the things we have 60%+ agreement. You're discouraging voting with failures

by daveguy 1y ago
That's some bullshit. If everyone voted the electoral college would be dwarfed across the board. If 50% more people vote the difference won't be in just AL, MS, CA, NY -- it will be across the board. Stop trying to fuck with our e

Only ~60% of people eligible to vote in 2024 did vote with ~30% of eligible voters voting for the idiotscape we currently have. So, I think OP message was for the folks who didn't vote. Especially given the people against going backwar

Maybe HN needs an "if num_words > 3" before the "delete leading Why". Or maybe an "if char_count > CHAR_LIMIT" before the "delete leading Why". Or just don't. What a near guaranteed way to
