The argument was literally about pilots dying because of war-time cutting of costs to ensure fast deployment of new tech. Then somebody misread the room and suggested office work was just as much of a waste of life as dying in a horrible ac

he's a lot younger than me, and he was doing it as soon as he started uni. I think it's a personality trait, although of course he spent time on improving the skill.

yes, turn off everything when I hit the limit that I set. allow me to set the limit to infinity dollars. Can you explain why this can't work as a first step into you figure out the rest?

I wish they would help get as many reform councils as possible. Given how incompetent they have been in the ones they did get elected, I think it would put a damper on the enthusiasm of their supporters.

I imagine it's hard to feel too close to people who elected a clown who wants to invade you.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt when they implement a tuneable spending limit, even if it includes infinity by default. until then, they're a business beholden to shareholder value.

I think it's a personality trait. He actually enjoys talking to dozens of people every day. He's friends with pretty much all the professors at the local uni because he turned up to random events as a student, and somehow he met a

I think you need to find one of those people collectors. I know one of them, and I could ask him to introduce me to somebody with <insert skill/interest> and he'll know somebody within a hundred miles.

in that case they can just vote in whatever law they want or they can hold starving kids hostage and forbid anybody from helping - I don't think this law in particular will make any of it worse.

probably the ice maker or something. I bought new appliances a few months ago, and I made sure none of them had WiFi. I even paid £50 more for the washing machine that didn't have an app.

It's minimalist in the sense that they have decided what you should be allowed to have as a user, and any extensions you rely on to bring back functionality that has been considered basic for 30 years will break with every version. oth

I feel like that also happens on Linux tbh. Gnome has very specific ideas of how everything should be, and anything they let you do through plugins today, they will take away tomorrow. Of course, you have the option of not using gnome. I my

the argument really wasn't about human persons, it was about legal persons. the distinction was only brought up to derail the conversation.

If a hospital doesn't follow proper procedures and local law, the hospital isn't illegal. The actions of the people making decisions are the crimes.

I've been trying to convince myself I'd be able to live like Diogenes, sleep in the streets, bathe in the sea and just generally survive off scraps - but I think that only works if other people can afford to throw away scraps.
