It even comes with a fucking pop up ad:

We want you to us AI!

Shits so fucking ridiculous

If I said there was two types of fruit, would you there’s more than two species of fruit?

There’s two types of fediverse basically.

1. Reddit knockoff

2. Twitter knockoff

Sometimes a #2 can post to a #1, they stand out because they always tag people and us hashtags in comments, when they manage to create a post, they never seem aware and get very very belligerent when people try to explain what they did that created a post.

If you want to engage with them on their level, you need an account on a twitter knockoff.

1. Fuck Joe Biden

2. Fuck the elder abusers still doing a Weekend at Bernie’s with his old racist corpse to grift for a library.

atoms/molecules

Two completely different things, on a molecular level that could just be stored potential energy. Like when a mousetrap is set or not, it doesn’t change it’s weight.

That’s how splitting atoms make atomic bombs there’s potential energy holding shit together, and we poke one to make it release which cause a giant chain reaction which adds up. Even then the “lost” mass is just blown up. I don’t think used my lease fuel gets substantially lighter for example.

It’s a literal family business, not like franchise like McDonald’s or Subways where the franchiser has to squeeze pennies constantly to make a dime.

It’s the main reason it’s one of the “better” fast food places left when the rest have mostly gone to shit. Because the people who control product quality and prices don’t need every last penny. For their company, it’s still a generational investment. 40 years from now, they want people to still want to eat there.

If that means a few less million in the bank today, then this isn’t even about a wealthy family doing a benevolent thing. It’s a wealthy family investing for theirnown future in a fiscally responsible fashion, which is something we can count on.

People don’t understand how much the franchise method has fucked up America.

Or to rephrase it: does a knife/scissors/etc just split something or does it remove something?

So, solids aren’t really solid. Like, at an atomic level no two molecules are actually touching. Think of it like a magnet floating above another.

What you cut it with matters too, something insanely sharp like a medical grade obsidian blade wieled with skill is so sharp, it’s just going to separate the molecules. And remove very little material.

Try to cut a piece of paper in half with a baseball bat, and lot of material won’t be attached to either of the two biggest pieces. Because it’s a big blunt object.

Anti-seize to stop spinning?

You didn’t understand the comment

From a different comment in this thread:

The big country always wants to make it look plausible they’d lose to justify the budget, and every other country wants to do well out of genuine pride or propaganda that their military is strong and not to be fucked with.

Why are you taking trump and kegsworth word?

They’re fear mongering

An Aegis missle can knock it down tho…

They cost 4.7 mil a pop, which isn’t much to the US military. And don’t even need launched by the carrier, it’d be launched by ships between the middle and the carrier.

Apparently China claims they have hypersonic rockets made out of concrete for the low low price of 99k each, but that’s not exactly believable. Especially since they’re claiming 99k and not 100k. I mean, even that they’re using “round” US dollars.

That’s pretty common propaganda to claim something is cheaper and more widely available than it really is. It’s why we split our uranium into two bombs in WW2. Because a country might use all of it at once as a bluff. But only idiot would make just two and then use them both days apart. It made it look like we could have a bunch. Not enough to keep up the pace, but how many? 5, 12?

It was more psychological warfare than anything. So is China claiming these are so cheap and mass producible when if that was true we’d see the same cost savings in commercial spaces.

No other country would be able to compete

These war games are bullshit and the US and other powerful countries intentionally tie one hand behind our backs as a reason to increase the defense budget.

Like, US subs will have a bunch of people literally banging on the inside of the hull so enemy radar picks them up and “destroys” them too.

The big country always wants to make it look plausible they’d lose to justify the budget, and every other country wants to do well out of genuine pride or propaganda that their military is strong and not to be fucked with.

At the end of the day no country can counter our nuclear powered subs with nuclear interballistic missiles. Sinking a carrier would be responded to like attacking a US city, it’s just not a risk China would take.

Eh, a carrier is a whole nother thing.

One carrier with a flight detail would be in the top ten most powerful Air Force’s on the planet, and we’ve got like 7 of them?

And that’s not counting all the support in a carrier group.

There are certain types of drone attacks that might have some effect on a carrier, but it would take an insane amount of preparation and be inconceivably expensive.

At most theyd have 1-2 attempts, it would be the modern equivalent of the WW2 nukes if someone could sink a modern US carrier, even in a surprise attack to start a war.

According to the FBI affidavit, the HSI agents walked up to the Jeep, displayed their badges, identified themselves as law enforcement officers and told Bamigboye that they wanted to talk about his immigration status.

I doubt this is the one time they calmly walked up and identified themselves…

The victims probably thought it was a carjacking, and that’s why they drove to a cop shop.

Why do you keep making and deleting so many accounts?

If you kept the same one, a lot of people would block you and stop down votng every post you make from a new account

It’s amazing how money tends to attract and concentrate the worst of humanity.

No, this is what wealth does to the vast majority of people. Because never being satisfied is a near universal human trait.

We prevent it, by preventing wealth/power imbalances to this extreme level.

If we don’t understand why a terrible thing keeps happy, well never stop experiencing it.

Seems like a good time for some Bob Vylan honestly…

Fuck that, let’s go dig up Maggie

Let’s go dig up Maggie’s grave and ask her where that milk went

Down to storm those Downing doors, run inside and **** them

Yeah…

But you know how people are already comparing vibe coding to 40k where “priests” pray to computers and hope if they do the exact same thing they’ll get the same result they want?

If we start walking down this road of even the chat or not understanding why what it did was better…

Serious unintended consequences are going to be inevitable.

Like, I swear nobody knows the paperclip story anymore.

Instrumental convergence posits that an intelligent agent with seemingly harmless but unbounded goals can act in surprisingly harmful ways. For example, a sufficiently intelligent program with the sole, unconstrained goal of solving a complex mathematics problem like the Riemann hypothesis could attempt to turn the Earth (and in principle other celestial bodies) into additional computing infrastructure to succeed in its calculations.[2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_convergence

I mean, we can make a very very solid argument that much of our current problems are caused by high level stock trading being done by algorithms who’s only instruction is “make numbers go up”.

This shit aint even hypothetical anymore, it’s just instead of “make as many paperclips” we told it “make more money than you did yesterday”.

Which is why we’re burning down the planet to make billionaires even more money

Squares and Rectangles…

Every Republican is a corrupt politician, but not ever corrupt politician is a Republican.

The logical solution is getting rid of corrupt politicians regardless of party.

I just rewatched Community, so read that comment in Keith David’s voice…

If you’re doing this type of stuff, I’m assuming you have some kind of dissolvable glue.

Protein based wood glue stops being glue if you add vinegar for example.

So use wood glue to glue a nut to domed back part of the bolt, or just throw a big glob all over the blot and saw handle.

Obviously make sure youve thrown a bunch of anti-seize on the other side first. This will stop it from spinning, but might not be enough to break it loose.

You could also try rigging something up with clamps and a piece of stuff rubber against the domed bolt to keep it pressed up against the inside of the handle.

But honestly?

Carriage bolts fucking suck, and you can just drill it out and find an era appropriate replacement. I grew up working on classic cars that always used them, and it’s worth looking around to see if you can just buy a dozen to keep on hand. Depending on how old the saws are, I doubt they’re original anyways.
