Nuclear war ain't shit. Wait until bioweapons are made and inevitably leak from a BSL-max lab. That's like if the nukes were invisible, without number, and diligently tracked every individual down. Unlike nukes, that's extinc

Here's my opinion. Twitch is the shittiest content platform ever made, technologically and culturally. It's an inconsistent hyper-suppressive clown show where everyone has to collapse down to the lowest common denominator of purit

Yes. Think about it this way: plastic is the IoT of materials. It's just there to act as a bitter lesson about man's hubris and greed.

I broadly agree. This is in the US, which is supposed to be a relative wild west where all you need is cash. You're not microchipped into a central database and have to ask for permission to move like in Europe. Any movement into that

Your idea of health is incomplete. Look into osteoblasts and how they stop working into your 30s and how if you didn't develop strong bones by then you're going to have a worse time later.

Is this Intel's marketing department doing damage control? Intel's been a disgrace, and that's why these chips suck. Imagine having all of the money and hiring everyone in sight and pulling all sorts of self-serving, dirty tr

Children aren't tricked into believing it because it's actually true. As you point out, people are inherently good, and they act against their self-interest all the time. It's always a mistake though. ;D

... Linux was a hobby project copying UNIX. And Windows NT's "good design and professional pedigree" must be subtle because Windows is a hot, disorganized mess that's hell to use or develop in.

I'd rather deal with smart jerks than nice dolts any day. But maybe my experience with jerks is too limited. I've known few, but they were smart . And smartness is my most significant factor in how much I like a person, even if t
