Actually ripped from the German playbook circa 1940.

The SS were given a state sanctioned wife for the purpose of producing as many “Aryan” children as possible.

I see you’ve never lived in a rural area

Yeah, whoever voted for that hunter guy must have been an idiot

I have a 12G one.

Actually the best argument would be that the Soviets didn’t raise holy hell about it being fake.

Apollo 11 was able to be tracked by radio the entire trip to the moon. The radio transmissions and The television broadcast was unencrypted over plain radio. I’m sure the Soviets were able to verify the entire mission in real time. If there was even a hint that the moon landing was fake, the Soviets would have been throwing it in the US’s face the instant it happened.

I’ll piss on the floor.

Fuck it, I’ll piss on the card reader

They ran over children with tanks and it’s a crime to talk about it there.

Yes I will make fun of the Chinese government for not acknowledging their atrocities. Yes I also refuse to shut up about the US government putting Japanese-Americans in camps during WW2, or shooting college kids at Kent state, or putting Mexican kids in cages under the past 3 presidents. Don’t let governments hide the boot they want on our necks

Manufactured in China does not mean Chinese made.

The fabrication equipment is designed by American or Korean companies, which may have factories in China. Although most things like CPUs and Memory are actually manufactured in Taiwan which is functionally an independent state, hence why China wants it back so bad. This is saying that Chinese domestic designs are now on par with non Chinese designs in terms of performance. Which is actually huge because it means we might now have more than 3 memory manufacturers in the world.

A cordless sawzall of circular saw with a metal cutting blade is way faster.

I mean, hypothetically. I have a decent amount of experience with cutting pipes.

I always think of George Carlin whenever people tell me how smart they think AI is: “Think of how dumb the average person is and then think about how half of them are dumber than that.

I deal with the general public every day for my job. People do the most brain dead shit or tell me the most insane things I’ve ever heard on a daily basis. I’ve had customers argue with me that I must be wrong because ChatGPT told them the problem was one thing, and I’m saying it’s something else. The most idiotic was when my solution was about a 1/4 the price, but the AI said it had to be something else so the customer wanted a second opinion from all different technician.

Either AI slop, someone fucked up the math for the capacity, or they’ve broken thermodynamics and are pulling power out of the ether.

First is most likely, 3rd is the coolest.

I don’t care until it gets to about quarter full, that’s when I check to see what actual percentage it’s at. I’m rarely on my phone enough to drain the battery on a normal day.

It’s dictator syndrome. There’s always going to be a subset of the population that, after acquiring the faintest whiff of power or authority, seizes it like a drowning man.

“Your honor, there were armed and masked men impersonating law enforcement and intimidating people at a polling place. I believed it was my patriotic duty to defend my community from what must have been terrorists.”

You need someone to make your butter for you?

You need someone to raise an animal and slaughter it for you?

You need someone to build a vehicle to transport yourself?

You needed a factory to build silicon wafers and assemble them into chips so another factory could produce a computer and install software on it that you didn’t write, so you could connect to the internet that someone else made?

Pathetic. Bet you don’t even live in the woods and grow your crops while trying to make solar cells out of sand to provide your own power. Absolutely pitiful that you participate in a society where goods and services are exchanged for money.

Why do you like making extra work for yourself? Are you bored?

Looks like there’s a starlink launch later today, and then a satellite resupply mission, both on Falcon 9s. Which is good because the falcon 9 is an incredibly reliable launch platform that should boost investor confidence.

And then on Thursday they’re gonna blow up another starship.

So we’ll see it tick up today and tomorrow, and then probably plummet again when investors see roughly $1,000,000,000 get turned into literal ash on livestream.

Who’s ready to watch the rollercoaster?

I’d rather they get their trial in the states.

The UK has some bizarrely lenient sentencing for sex crimes. Like months or a couple of years. These chuckle fucks should rot for as long as possible, not only for their crimes but also as a punishment for the damage they’ve done to a generation of boys and young men.

AI is horrible for charting.

My wife is a Respiratory Therapist. They rolled out AI charting a few months ago and she tried it once. She spent just as much time proof reading the AI notes as it would have taken to write them herself.

The main problems are that medical notes are critical to patient care, and are legal documents that can and will be used in the event of legal action. If you’re using AI to document patient care, you’re opening yourself up to potentially disastrous miscommunication that can very possibly get someone killed or have their life altered. And then if someone does die, now the court can see that you documented things incorrectly and could hold you responsible.

The first time Samsung and micron colluded on dram pricing was in the early 2000s when money was also falling from the sky due to high demand.

The fines they were charged with were a fraction of the profits they gained from price fixing.

It’s almost like having a limited number of manufacturers and a huge demand spike is actually an incentive for price fixing because they can work together to increase profits artificially.

I don’t think you really understand how price fixing and near monopoly markets work. With monopolies and near monopolies, there’s no real downside to colluding on prices, especially in the US where fines are basically guaranteed to be less than profits, and when your company is not headquartered in the US and can’t be forcibly broken apart by the government. If you’re the only company, or one of 3, then you can set whatever price you want. As long as the conspirators agree to pricing, no one will bat an eye at claims of high demand or supply chain issues because all your conspirators also have similarly high pricing.

Usually I say economists are insane cultists. But I really think you could benefit from reading some material on macroeconomics.
