Technology is a force multiplier. You aren't making sense.

No exceptions? You're telling me that an untrained person would be equally lethal with a waterbottle or a Tommy gun because everything is a weapon?

Oh, aye? What's the record on mass decapitations at knifepoint? And are you actually comparing a trained militia to randos buying military hardware without any accountability or oversight? Because generative AI isn't only access

You didn't read that right; at no point did I take the outcome seriously. But the real point isn't Bruen's specific test: it's the precedent established that activist judges can rewind legal interpretation by centuries w

Hah, we use different computers. I was thinking, this might be tricky if you aren't careful to keep the file entirely cached in RAM.

Well, we're approaching the 25th anniversary of Columbine. But 35 years ago, my neighborhood was equipped with quite a lot of Uzis and Mac-11s, and we had quite a lot of mass shootings. Only they were called "drive-bys" and

Yes, they did. And how about murderous rampages at schools, were those common before technology eased the way?

I'm enjoying the notion that the Bruen precedent could be used to restore the 1792 Militia Act. Burdening white men with finding a flintlock and knapsack in this day and age has me in stitches.

Can we? I'm not under the impression that those were ever terraced[1] like open-pit mines. But come to think of it, terracing itself qualifies as a megastructure[2]. Where the Long Now clock is an offbeat art project, rice paddies a

I and several other women I know use cannabis to cut the boredom of cleaning. There's definitely an optimum, where your mind wanders and the tedium doesn't accumulate. But a little beyond that optimum, you either get off task or

Open pit mines seem to be a pretty good candidates for this. They're pretty much the opposite of a structure, but I can't imagine them looking "natural" even thousands of years from now. I can imagine one or two gettin

What's the point of recon if you're going to loudly announce where your drone went?

Sadly, this lumber does exist in Canada. And I wish I meant "tree" and not "lumber" but here we are https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/sitka-old-gr...

The rhythm of his speech is notably foreign to me. His delivery of "industry" sounds like three words to me, "in dust ree."

No love for FFI or FFII? Guess it's time I dig out the ol' emulator again and re-read 8-bit theater... https://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/03/02/episode-001-were-goi...

It's not really an alternative to twitter, though.

I dunno, @mdaniel's comment points to a potential gamechanger in the evolution of rust-inspired languages. I'm not a rust expert but fine-grain mut seems like it could reduce the performance cost of safety, or at least, make it m

Back in the 90s, we did it a bit like that... only we didn't have git, most of us didn't even know about the VCS that did exist. Before doing something serious, I'd make a manual backup before just editing files directly on

A nice goat, you say? How much for a mean goat, jaded from years of being the spoiler prize that nobody wants?

Beautiful hardware, but I do like my privacy. Maybe you could cover it with stickers?

Interesting that I was talking about clocks, and you're talking about watches instead.

You were responding to somebody talking about farm labor, by talking about industrial labor. I'm not gonna pick a side here, but to say that what you each present as fact is not in conflict.

To the contrary, consideration takes time, and rules of thumb are valuable to mitigate overthinking.

Sure, there will exceptions to any statement such general statement. By and large the majority of mall-clock offerings are going to be of the low-end variety. And even when clocks are remotely synced, you still need somebody going through

by klyrs 3y ago
Mall stores aren't selling high-end timepieces. If the clocks are running, they will visibly disagree unless you pay somebody to handle all of the merch every day, time that could be better spent looking bored.

As demonstrated at the end... no positive or negative incentive gave one of the best answers in the grid. Whoop dee.

Are you saying Cutco isn't a MLM scam? I've always avoided it like the plague.

I dunno, I've been using gimp for literally decades and for about a year recently, it couldn't paste from the clipboard. I didn't even bother reporting the bug because I knew I'd come across like an entitled whiner in t
