The number that makes people go insane is bigger than 2.6*10²¹, or 2,600,000,000,000,000,000,000

Is that Plato’s Cave? I’m not super familiar with it. Animal Farm was just the first allegory to pop in my head.

Oh my gosh, can’t believe I did that. Fortunately they are a type of analogy, so I’m not just totally spreading misinformation.

An analogy is an explicit comparison between two concepts. Analogies are often signalled by words such as ‘like’ or ‘as’. (Edit: As someone pointed out, similes use these words. Not all analogies do. I wasn’t completely paying attention when I wrote this, sorry!)

In contrast, allegories are stories that implicitly draw a connection between two concepts. A good example of this might be George Orwell’s Animal Farm. On it’s face, it is a story about animals revolting against their owner and creating their own system of governance. While it generally follows the story of the Russian revolution, Orwell never directly states this. Instead, it is up to the reader to figure that out.

They mean diagonal cutters or flush cutters. Dyke is an unfortunate shortening of diagonal here, there is no actual relationship to the slur afaik.

On a whim, I did an internship at an architecture firm doing low voltage and media design while finishing my theatre degree. It opened my eyes to the possibility of working outside the entertainment industry. I ended up going back to school for a mechanical engineering degree and now I’m just over a year into my role at an industrial components company. I’d say it worked out pretty well!

Hey at least SC has a playable demo that’s occasionally fun to play (I got a free code with a piece of computer hardware a while back and haven’t spent a penny on the game otherwise)

It’s sea shanty 2 from runescape, but my phone is usually on vibrate

I feel like that’s giving op too much credit, but it’s possible this is something going around reddit atm?

They only made those changes after several of the people whose likeness they stole called them out. Regardless, it should never have happened in the first place.

Tbh I could get behind either of those choices

You mean the browser that was caught injecting affiliate codes on cryptocurrency sites and misleading users into making donations that were collected by brave instead of the supposed recipient? That browser?

This line of thought is short sighted. Your senior engineers will eventually retire or leave the company. If everyone replaces junior engineers with ai, then there will be nobody with the experience to fill those empty seats. Then you end up with no junior engineers and no senior engineers, so who is wrangling the ai?

That’s cool as hell. My understanding is you have to have extremely high volume before uv makes financial sense. The previously-available commercial uv printers are extremely expensive, so the anker printer is only cheap by comparison. Hopefully we will see some more competition at this level that will continue to bring the price down towards something more affordable!

Do you have any actual evidence of this malicious code besides writing with your caps lock on? Frankly, this reads like some poorly-veiled astroturfing to sew distrust in what, as far as I can tell, is the most popular windows piracy tool.

UV printers are used for direct to object printing, you likely own some stuff that has gone through the process. It’s especially popular for customized promotional items that would be otherwise difficult to print on, like flash drives, golf balls, etc.

Admittedly, I also don’t see much of a reason to buy this for my own use, but one could say the same about other hobbies like 3d printing.

Edit: fixed a typo and formatting

I literally log in every day to play them, then log right back out.
