I mean, there's billionaires and there are asshole billionaires... I don't give two flying fucks about pop music, but she treated her people pretty well (originally read about this from a trucker friend) - https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2023/08/04/taylor-swift-says-thank-you-to-eras-tour-workers-by-handing-out-checks/?sh=1011ea6470f6

so while I'd prefer no or fewer billionaires, I'd really prefer rich people who treated their entire ecosystems well over the current hellscape.

oh and TAX THE RICH. If they can stay billionaires by building new industries and competing for great workers by negotiating in good faith with union labor, that's fine.

Trader joe, SpaceX/Tesla Amazon and a bunch of other fucks are trying to destroy the entire NRLB, because they hate unions and think they can get away with it. FUCK THEM.

I remember in 1994 a friend had purchased OS2 for his 386dx with 8 (!!!) mind blowing megabytes of extended memory. OS2 took nearly 18 minutes to get to an interface you could use - not to install, to boot. went back to DOS lol.

mojofrododojo ,

we already have far more guns that people in the US. How many guns does it take to reach the levels you're talking about? 5 guns per person?

mojofrododojo ,

it has fuck all to do with " people they don’t like owning guns." it has fucking everything to do with people unqualified and unsafe to own guns being able to obtain guns - whether through gun show loopholes, straw buyers, no yellow/red flag laws, etc.

fuck outa here with liberals getting antsy bullshit. if you weren't paying attention, there's a fucking gun violence epidemic going on, every fucking week there's another mass shooting.

if that's liberals getting antsy, maybe you should fucking wake up and realize this bullshit only happens here. bellend.

mojofrododojo ,

Reagan and the NRA were all about gun control when it was Black Panthers.

I just want sane controls preventing nutbags from acquiring arsenals. I'm not anti-gun, I'm a prior service gun loving person who's watching the idiots ruin it for the rest of us.

mojofrododojo ,

Probably at least 3

ok so extrapolate the rise in gun violence with YET MORE FIREARMS.

Man, I love the art and science of firearms and learning to use a new system. I thoroughly enjoyed the range while I was in the military and though I wasn't infantry, took it seriously and appreciated the skill it takes to employ weapons of war to make war on our enemies.

Let's look at the 2a: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

2a nutbags will tell you none of the first dozen words count. Look at the situation we have today. Help me make 'more guns are the answer' make sense man.

mojofrododojo ,

Probably closer to 10:1 or 15:1

yeah that's gonna help things. https://abcnews.go.com/US/gun-violence-claimed-lives-5000-people-2024/story?id=107262776 sure man.

mojofrododojo ,

well your answer is nutbags if you live in the USA. sorry I had a retort to your uninformed / wildly delusional idea of an even more armed US being desirable. sorry if the points I presented prompted some kind of difficulty in your reasoning chum.

mojofrododojo ,

cozy down here. cool. shame about the mole people though.

mojofrododojo ,

Guess who had to refrain from the “I told you so” when they found out she was pregnant.

ghad that must have been hilariously painful to keep buttoned up.

mojofrododojo , (edited )

edit: y'all mofos are inhaling tardygrades as I type this. there's 40 million skin mites that live on your lower lip.

and you love the flavor. and if it wasn't blindingly obvious I'm fucking with you but yeah mmmm I'm Vegan* (*cept for the mites and spiders) too

aw you don't eat animals?

that's a lie.

You consumed 3 spiders last week while sleeping. God knows how many gnats and other bugs.

Stop acting all superior, the only thing you've got going for you is the certainty that you've eliminated mammals from your diet and are subsisting on bugs.

mojofrododojo ,

Of course they're going to tell you that, duuuuh

mojofrododojo ,

it was a bad joke. not actual commentary. nevermind.

mojofrododojo ,

Pesticides or GMO are going to be used for agriculture either way (vegan/non vegan diets). regardless, your assertion that vegan diet kills more is specious conceptually and ridiculous in premise - just growing a chicken requires more energy than growing grains, legumes or fungus. If you have evidence post it, otherwise lol nah man.

downvotes were probably for the poor way I made a joke. I don't take it personally, admit it wasn't great humor. But you'll never get me to think Vegans are harming teh ec0sytM!!

All the vegans I know garden or farm themselves, and I get to ride on their experience with my own tomato, cucumber, peppers, and green beans, and I live in the city. We just planted our onion and zuchinni starters but I've never done these before so we'll see. It's amazing what you can produce in two raised beds.

mojofrododojo ,

I find it funny that a single story locked behind a paywall on springer is TEH EVIDENCE yet such a huge finding isn't researched and documented elsewhere.

and again, the concept violates the laws of thermodynamics. it's an energy economy. I can get as much protein and nutrients from veg for a fraction of the energy input compared to livestock.

thanks for the other tips.

mojofrododojo ,

An S10 was a light truck. This is macho over-compensation at it's finest.

mojofrododojo ,

No, this is overcompensation no matter the drivetrain and weight limit. Open your eyes, no one NEEDS a lift package like that. It's bullshit. Especially when you see what real world offroad vehicles look like - hiluxes and shit that won't bog down - not this goofy ass bigfoot wannabe.

Thanks for the 'clarification' that just excuses their idiocy.

mojofrododojo ,

keep telling yourself that monstrosity is a light truck - the only way it could be considered light is against the even larger idiot boxes with even larger lift packages. meanwhile, light trucks: kei's, s10s, hiluxes - not shit with a 6' hood. fucking idiotic designs unsafe for anyone but the idiot driver.

and yeah, it's a lift package, jesus h look at the passenger window, it's ABOVE the drive through lip.

god why is there always some asshole waiting in the wings to say NUH UH HE'S NOT COMPENSATING FOR ANYTHING

mojofrododojo ,

Do you really think they'd get a reply, and not the usual poop emoji?

mojofrododojo ,

easier to setup and will probably last longer.

mojofrododojo ,

The incumbent always sweeps

  • tell that to trump.

thorough understanding of the uncommitted movement and what u.s. primaries are. there is so much blatant misunderstanding and misinfo going on it’s bad.

yeah I could see this EXCEPT the rhetoric used isn't likely to be forgotten - labeling him Genocide Joe is just gonna evaporate huh?

This movement is bullshit FUD sprayed right out of the GOP, believe it at your peril. And note that these same fuckwits always attack Biden, but never seem to go after trump, even tho 'it's just the primaries bro'.

mojofrododojo ,

imho this is directly targeted to increase voter apathy.

mojofrododojo ,

learn to think for just a half a second that someone might have empathy for human suffering.

you really think your internet hissy fit blaming Biden for Israel's genocide is doing more than the actual state department and government?

Damn son, you really don't understand how the world works at all do you?

It's FUD. Stop playing their game, or be recognized for doing their work.

mojofrododojo ,

The Pulitzer should give out some other prizes, and this should get the Zinger award.

mojofrododojo ,

I be a cis ally mining memes for the good fight

mojofrododojo ,

even if you were there to save me, why would I want your shitty redemption? you think I'm damned, your salvation is worthless to start. get fucked lol

mojofrododojo ,

you don't think calling the man desperately attempting to pull israel back Genocide Joe is gop astroturfing?

like you can assemble an entire argument about the primary process but ignore that aspect?

goddamn that's a useful idiot

mojofrododojo ,

There is no credible call to not vote for Biden in the general.

oh yah after labeling him Genocide Joe there's no call to bahahaahaha

did your parents drop you on your head?

mojofrododojo ,

It's mindboggling. From a prior-service army perspective, I cannot convey how much security was stressed in every way; seeing this idiot debacle is staggering - a giant failure of leadership at multiple levels - and only deserves any leiniency when contrasted to the former shitstain president's handling of classified documents. That's the only argument in his defense - if they're going after an airman, why is the former CINC of the entire military get to slide on his crimes - that are still ongoing.

mojofrododojo ,

I worry about prions.

X suspends account of Navalny's wife (news.sky.com)

X suspends account of Navalny's wife::The widow of Alexei Navalny, Yulia Navalnaya, has had her X account restored after it was briefly suspended for unknown reasons. Meanwhile, his brother has been put on Russia's wanted list. Listen to a Daily podcast special on the Russian opposition after Navalny's death as you scroll.

mojofrododojo ,

Honestly I think there are at least 4 really REALLY good arguments for nationalizing spaceX. Fuckwit Musk is a national security risk.

mojofrododojo ,

nah, we put ours in the hillside. trash hill's getting chonky

compared to radio stations anywhere?

or have you only seen radio towers in cities?

mojofrododojo ,

a couple of notes: those cargo ships (the ones built after @1995ish) almost all use bunker oil or fuel oil to drive electric turbines, generating more torque and smoother power bands than traditionally driven props directly off diesel engines. it's still burning the worst of the worst in vast quantities, so it's a marginal upgrade at best, and one that only counts for the newer 30 years of production.

re: semi trucks - apparently there are some drivers who LOVE them and won't consider returning to ICE, but I imagine they're edge cases still.

mojofrododojo ,

And the whole green / blue messages bullshit. Apple never misses an opportunity to remind it's users they're paying a premium and everyone else is a plebe.

mojofrododojo ,

It's a devkit, that apple is even selling these things to 'users' is idiotic.

mojofrododojo ,

I think Apple’s reasoning here is to provide the hardware and see what people do with it.

for sure, and in the rest of the tech world, we call these devkits, not finished products. Apple is trying to convince rando non-dev apple fanboys to pay $3500 for the privilege of playing with devkits. And in many ways, it's a dead end, especially on input. what a shit show.

mojofrododojo ,

try a thousand more than the horrorlens lol. Our hololens 1 and 2 devkits were $2400 iirc.

mojofrododojo ,

Amen brother, same situation here.

you'll need an m1 or m2 dev box - so $800-3000+ for something with decent ram and storage. and you'll want an apple care subscription, $400 for two years (which won't actually pay for repairs, simply reduce the pain of them enough to justify); and you'll need to pay an apple dev id - $100 for indies, $250 for enterprise iirc; and you'll want to get some extra batteries to daisy-chain off the usb-c port on the existing battery because that shit only lasts 2.5 hrs at BEST. oh and spend another $100 on each devkit because they don't come with a fucking case.

it's like their dev chain is a fucking sadomasochistic loyalty test where the privilege to develop for the device's barren ecosystem costs more and more at each step. All for the honor of writing xcode apps that are running on ipad os++

fucking hell

mojofrododojo ,

so you just defend everything apple does but you agree it's dirty bullshit.

nice! seems like you pick winners bud.

mojofrododojo ,

Maybe they removed it because it was libel.

some kind of evidence would be required to assert this though. you don't just get to declare 'libel!' like yahtzee!

pro tip: your insurance probably has a discount deal w/ a major rental company - USAA & Enterprise, for example. Partnerships like this keep the fuckers honest to retain the income stream.
