Such a monstrous clusterfuck, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone having been sacked, let alone facing actual charges over the whole debacle.

If anything, I’d say that’s the single best case for buying IBM - if you’re incompetent and/or corrupt, just go with them and even if shit hits the fan, you’ll be OK.

All I’ve got is wood, and I still need to beat it to a pulp, which is why I was considering beaver butts.

That is the American approach to legislation: get in as many laws that favour you or your sponsors, and pray the courts let at least some of them through.

That’s not how this is meant to work. The courts shutting down a law is a last measure, when everything else has failed and hell’s about to break loose.

I think it’s the reverse.

Peasants have to actually be productive so they don’t starve, they take fast food packages without thinking about it too hard and hoping it won’t wreck them.

The nobles can afford to handpick at their leisure what goes into their systems. Their understanding of what their system needs, and their cooking skill, varies greatly though.

If that’s why you think they’re wankers, I have news for you.

2025 / 10 / 12 ??

Edit oh probably 02 with the zero on a weird paper angle. Nevermind, no time travel yet it seems :(

Nice job man.

I don’t think it’s related to patterns, it’s the methodology.

Sure, there’s some groundwork that needs to be memorized in different fields, but this is like learning your first words. These are necessary so that we can communicate with each other, and they serve as building blocks upon all rest is built upon.

Everything else we are mostly taught by learning how some old guy came up with an answer, making clever use of the tools that we also have.

After a while it sort of clicks that there’s a method to the madness, you build up and up until you get to the moon, and you get this feeling that anything can be explained logically - we might not know how yet, but surely it will be at some point.

Unless it’s quantum physics, fuck that.

It feels like there’s a lot of people who skipped these building steps, maybe they were just memorizing stuff to get by the exams without exercising their brains on the methods to reach those solutions, or were simply never taught, and now they just don’t have the tools to make sense of what’s around them, and will blindly follow a monster that assures them that they’ll be ok as long as they do this or that…

For all we know, it’s a 50/50 that the customer service guy receives back an email back from that email that supposedly is not accessible saying “WTF I have no idea what you’re talking about, was my account hacked?”

But since you’re that gullible - hey bro, that wallet in your back pocket is mine, I put it there when I washed my jeans. Hand it back now, I paid for it and I’m 100% entitled to it!!

Yeah, I agree with all of your points.

I’m not American, but my understanding of the system is that the long term plan for the country isn’t meant to be set by the president, but by the legislature - passing laws and creating federal bodies that steer the country.

Instead, there’s absolutely no laws being agreed upon, only presidents that try to impose their view for a while until they’re replaced by whoever’s next who then breaks everything.

The courts are then thrown on to the spotlight and asked by the country to fill up a role who’s not actually theirs, and I don’t even want to go into the issues with appointment of judges.

Not that the system in China is any better, they just happen to have a guy who’s ruthless enough to hold onto power with no opposition, and seems to actually care about his country - but he isn’t gonna last for ever, and there’s zero guarantee that the power struggles after he’s gone won’t tear the country to shreds, or that the next up isn’t a fucked up moron like the orange…

The worrying part is that they kinda seem to be implementing good policies for (at least some of) their people.

There’s a lot of disturbing stuff, and probably a whole lot more that we don’t even know about, but social security, education, healthcare - my impression is that they’re going the right way, while the US looks eager to go back to the Dark ages.

Just with STEM degrees, they’re producing almost 5x more graduates than the US, and they’ve surpassed the number of doctorates a long time ago too.

The current world balance won’t hold one more generation.

Well played sir, well played.

Are they all your phones, or different house members? Can you “pool” your photos together?

We’ve been doing this with all our phones for a long time using nextcloud. I’d like to use a more photo-oriented app, but the last I tried it, it just wasn’t there yet.

Bro has dementia. You could call it the most memorable, epic name ever, and he’d still forget all about it in 10 minutes. It’s a fucked up disease.

But as to your gripe with the name, Frontotemporal dementia is a pretty decent name.

Even if you know nothing about medicine, you’ll understand it’s some type of dementia, and immediately get a very good image of how it affects a patient.

If you’re more familiar with medicine and the brain, it will also tell you what regions these specific types of dementia affect, giving you clues as to what brain functions could be most impaired.

Thank god medicine has moved away from eponyms, because Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or Binswanger disease, or Fahr disease, are much much worse. If you’re not familiar, you’d have no clue if they’re a type of dementia or a problem on your anus.

Can’t rotate or do basic edits in web app, dead to me.

Also can’t really sync and share with rest of household. Auto sync to phones is also a must.

I was seriously unimpressed with its features, and I’m not bothering with it again anytime soon.

Bro looked at pillows, water mattresses and swimming pools, then decided that his house’s brick wall was the best option for banging his head against.

Sure, you didn’t have to pay extra for it, but the headaches are on you.

An active redditor??

Releasing the genophage on the krogan, are we?

I couldn’t find the brand I use on Amazon in the US, maybe they don’t sell it there. I’d go with something that explicitly claims to target the nests, like this maybe.

Aye, this is my case. Come the warm weather and it’s cockroaches everywhere. I’ve written above I’ve had some luck with poison, seems to be killing the closer nests and Ive had a lot fewer since.

I’ve had some success with poison, the kind that comes inside plastic pods and supposedly they chew on it and bring it back to their nest, wiping it out.

Last year I had dozens running around everywhere (house surrounded with garden/fields) last year, this year I’ve only seen 1 so far.
