I wish the video was long enough to hear the sound of my prime membership going up in price

Yeah that’s a good strategy. Good for chicken feed too then they can be the new CEO of breakfast

Mmmm yes but if you detonate a truck bomb you will die as well 😏🤔 you might destroy your employer but you will destroy yourself in the process as well! ☝️🤓 Which would be very bad for you! And if you survived the judge would surely throw the book at you 😏

I don’t even want to eat them. They’re hardly even worth being hog feed and I wouldn’t want to feed too many of them to my hogs. There’s an obviously high level of heavy metals in them.

We do this with every single new revolutionary technology.

Computer boom and busts

Even fucking railroads. They were building tens of thousands of kms of railroad to literal nowhere. “Towns will settle as long as you build a station and run a service there!”

Which is partially true in land that was a PITA to get to, and couldn’t access lucrative markets. I.e. a lot of prairie in the Midwest, which only truly settled around rail due to grain elevators and a more structure co-op system.

Everything is in pursuit of burning more oil and selling more GDPness. The only kind of sense anything has to make is financial sense.

Look where that’s got us…

You might want to replace the LED with a normal silicon diode since if I were a piece of shit TV company I would measure that circuit as a voltage divider, and for a complete circuit. No current flow and no 0.6V drop, and that means I activate my out of warranty self lobotomize routine.

One point of correction:

That isn’t how the 5 eyes actually works. It’s illegal for most countries to invade the privacy of their own citizens without a warrant since they have the equivalent to the bill of rights or a constitution or something similar.

But… it’s not illegal for Canada to spy on the citizens of the other 5 eyes technically speaking (especially if nobody ever finds out…) you just blame discovering stuff on other legitimate surveillance methods, or you “get lucky” one day and catch a person you’re interested in by pure happenstance. Wow, would you look at that? They were criminaling while I was watching them.

You scratch my back spy on my citizens I scratch spy on yours?

How do you know he’s Jesus?

You missed my point entirely…

This is a different topic but I still can’t believe my own government (Canadian) wheeled “a Ukranian guy who fought the Russians in WWII” into parliament and clapped for him after his speech.

It’s like none of them have functioning brains…

Spoiler: he was a Ukranian Nazi who fought for the German third Reich lmao

If I damage $25k worth of stuff that’s my problem

If I damage $25 million worth of code that’s my former employer’s problem

So you made a car TV

It already is too expensive and adding more compute doesn’t make it cheaper lol it just causes a race to the bottom among data center providers and an eventual crash there too.

And if we shared cars instead of owning them it would also save on gas for everyone

And if we paid someone to drive the car around for us it would be swell

Also if we do that we might as well make the car bigger

You know what’s more efficient on gas than rubber on road? Metal. If we made the wheels metal we would have like zero rolling resistance

That tears up roads though so we should probably pave the roads with metal

That’s kind of expensive, so we should only pave metal directly underneath where our metal wheeled car will drive

If we’re going to do all of that it should be bigger. Multiple cars connected together.

Hey we can get rid of gas entirely? We could run this thing using catenary arms and overhead cables. GENIUS!

Oh my god I get to watch a smiting with my own eyes. The cycle is nearly complete!

1. God has rules

2. God’s rules have loopholes

3. God gets angry

4. Get smote, nerd!

5. Ok, new rules!

6. Return to step 1.

They will literally do it until the heat death of the universe or until they’re wiped out.

What a beautiful photograph! So much is happening without it being overwhelming. It feels so alive like it was just taken. Thanks for sharing!

In not a Chinese shill but realistically modern war is a competition of industrialized might. China would whoop the US in a slugfest (i.e. not nuclear exchange. Nobody wins that) because the US can’t produce at the rate the Chinese can.

China can mass produce sophisticated weapons… The US’ military industrial complex and incentive structures (cost + % billing) has created a giant cancerous tumor of an arm’s industry. It’s currently tooled for bullying and murdering brown people for profit, not fighting a near peer nation and changing that system takes years.

It won’t change as long as cost + % and corruption continue, which they will. If the US finds itself in a war with China it’ll have entirely the wrong arm’s industry for fighting them and they won’t have the grace of 1939-1941 to scale their domestic arms industry prior to a major conflict… There’s also the fact that the US is heavily deindustrialized now too compared to WWII… China is closer to the industrial heavyweight the US once was in 1941-45, but they have technological sophistication and a knowledge economy now too…

Patriot interceptor missiles are a decent example of what I mean. They cost millions to produce and take forever to make which is by design. They could be made faster and cheaper but that’s less profit. If the arm’s industry in the US were paid a lump sum and not “pump your costs as high as possible to get the highest cost+% you can” things would be different.

I was just thinking the same thing…
