- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 6 days ago:
There was a supreme court ruling on this during Trump 1 I believe. They do not need to read rights any more.
- Comment on What happened to "Sanctuary Cities" where they bussed so called "immigrants" there? Was there a long term effect or anything? Or did cities may had a hiccup or two and that's about it? 1 week ago:
Well the busing did succeed at one thing, which is demonstrating that Adams was a shitty human with no actual values and showed that democratic governors and mayors often view migrants as a net negative even though they’re not. It was a great example of the problem with liberal politics, more obsessed with playing a game than caring for people and standing up for them. Even though they said stuff like they’re using them as pawns (true), the real response should have been thank you for sending us statistically better law abiders and hard workers. We will make sure they want to stay because them leaving yiur shithole state makes yours worse and ours better.
- Comment on what's the deal with Data centers and why do we all of a sudden need massive ones built all over everywhere? 2 weeks ago:
- Surveillance, reverse data anonymization, behaviour analysis, and autogenerated prosecutions.
- Make middle managers and CEOs feel special.
- Make stock numbers go up.
- Tax incentives on processing power upgrades while environmental laws are at a low and entrenching will allow negligence to continue.
- Moore’s law is staggered so much, it’s likely today’s hardware will not be replaced soon. Also they’re all invested in Nvidia anyways.
- The perception of positive change during a time when stagnation is nearly absolute in the west.
- Comment on What is the hate against Pit Bulls? Everyone I've met are super friendly like my BC. Or are they the new Doberman for this cycle? 2 weeks ago:
It’s pretty well known they were bred to be fighting dogs for blood sports. It doesn’t mean they end up that way, but intervention is needed in places other breeds do not require it.

The conversation is nuanced and long, but TLDR is that it is a breed which requires more training than other breeds. It’s also important to note that many owners’ version of training is ineffective or counter productive.
Pitbulls are highly energetic and much like great Danes, grow up physically much faster than mentally. They end up being an extremely powerful dog, chalk full of muscles, who crave constant attention and behave like a puppy. Well, puppies bite, and when a dog bites you, you tend to address it (give it attention). Compounding this, they’re also not very smart and it takes a while to train them. Compounding this further, they have instincts like all dogs where pushing is met with resistance (something Cesar talks about a lot with food etiquette around dogs), and basically everything they do is exaggerated with their enormous energy.
Comparing them to a breed like a Labrador, the obliviousness, energy, strength, and attention needs are not the same.
They can be very good dogs, but effort was made to achieve that. There are dogs who have been bred to be home bodies and they much more naturally fall into a “good dog” category. Pitbulls were bred for dog fighting and blood sports. This is not a good start for family’s first dog.
To put this into other terms. There are chickens who have been bred for cock fights. They can be good roosters, but watch your back and be ready to remove them if they attack your hens. That being said, predators beware. Different breeds have different specialties, if you want one for the look be very deliberate about what actions you are going to take to change the “natural outcome” of their behavior being the behavior you don’t want.
- Comment on A lot of people who try to start a religion are seen as mentally ill. Like Jim Jones, David Koresh, the UFO guy, and L Ron Hubbard. Then could it be a safe bet that Jesus was mentally ill? 3 weeks ago:
From what I recall there were multiple fairly popular prophecies about what a diety or sign from the heavens were supposed to look like and Jesus recreated a number of them in the form of miracles. Doesn’t really speak to his mental status, he coulda been delusional in his insistance of his diety status or he could have been a grifter, or it could all be legit or whatever.

Think you’re just experiencing strawberries being a cheaper fruit by weight than raspberries, but I appreciate the diligence.
- Comment on Could the Supreme Court overturning Marbury vs Madison be a way to repeal the US Constitution? 4 weeks ago:
They wouldn’t overturn it and give back their power, but I could definitely see them modifying it to grab more power.
- Comment on Why can't I apply SPF50 sunscreen twice to get SPF100 protection? 5 weeks ago:
I was telling my friend when I got it that I can’t send any photos of my face lest I ever become a politician
- Comment on Why can't I apply SPF50 sunscreen twice to get SPF100 protection? 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say our tests were perfect, just smearing it on cardboard, but we did test like 10 different ones. Few things were obvious, like that the coral reef destroying ingredient ones were more effective than the more eco ones, and that banana boat kinda sucked. Neutrogena was good and even their 15 spf was just about as dark as their 30. I think coppertone was worse than banana boat but I’d wanna retest before I recommend any of them though. My memory isn’t that good, I just remember relief that Neutrogena was good because it’s what I’ve been using.
a.aliexpress.com/_mq8c3YB this is the one I have, although I bought it when it was 50 bucks and a quick glance shows most over 100 now.
- Comment on Why can't I apply SPF50 sunscreen twice to get SPF100 protection? 5 weeks ago:
If you’ve ever used a UV camera it’s pretty clear that much like lotion not absorbing after a certain point, there’s a limit to how dark your skin gets with a given sunscreen. Also that there’s a massive difference between brands and formulas. I had some photos I took with one but can’t find them. If I do later I’ll update
- Comment on How come soccer and tennis never caught on in the states? Also why hasn't there been an NFL team vs a Soccer Team and vice versa. Just to prove which is the better sport? Details inside. 1 month ago:
I agree. Also pitting pros from one sport against pros of another sport is gonna result in the fish out of water scoring 0. Rugby and American football might be the closest in overlapping skills, but the pros are pros because they’re pros. You don’t novice your way into success just by being fit.

Can’t really speak to tennis, but the other stuff probably because watching a team score 0 points is kinda lame.
- Comment on If you managed to create batteries that can last for a century, will charging be redundant? 2 months ago:
I think unfortunately this would open the door for bad actors too. Taking old outdated phone batteries and combining them would allow for some crazy things that could do mass harm. Even smoke detectors with Americium can be gathered and dissected to radiate a small neighborhood or inact terrorism. Additional reading: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn
The whole story of why we use Americium in detectors is an interesting one in itself. youtu.be/DuAeaIcAXtg one of my favorite long form nerdy youtube channels.
- Comment on If you managed to create batteries that can last for a century, will charging be redundant? 2 months ago:
Doesn’t really make sense even to users. They would shrink the battery to a small fraction of its original side, market it as the world’s lightest and thinnest phone, with 4x the battery life of a normal phone. Then they’d have some other products of a bigger battery version for emergency red phones.
Beyond just companies wanting to turn a buck, there’s other more obvious limitations. The bands to communicate with the tower require physical antennas inside the phone and those frequencies are recycled over time to different protocols or sometimes different uses entirely. It would be useless as a phone before it’s dead.
Also the whole thing about energy density. Current lithium ballpark density is 250 Wh per kg. Taking a modern galaxy 5000mah (19.4wh) battery and multiplying it by your chosen ratio of 10 hours vs a hypothetical 876000 makes it 21,900,000Wh per Kg, still less dense than fusion energy, which is around 24,000,000,000Wh per kg but very close to fission energy density, which is around 24,000,000 Wh. Of the Uranium that actually fissioned during the Little Boy bomb explosion, it only amounted to about 0.8763kg, less energy than a kilogram of your hypothetical battery. I guess luckily batteries only weigh about 50 grams? The factory making them would have more bomb potential than the Beirut explosion if they had more than 47.5 kg of batteries, or enough to make 950 phones.
As an aside, I can’t believe how big the Beirut explosion was, 1GWh. Insane and horrifying.

Row 15. I like those puzzles, but it makes the most sense to scan from the left if that’s your method and it’s almost entirely to the right.
- Comment on Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws? 2 months ago:
I know it already is but should it be?
BDS would seem to suggest otherwise. We care less about actual hatred than criticisms of our ethnostate agendas, but it’s through the perceived hatred that cry-bullies thrive. Hate speech laws only make their bullying more effective. Look at Palestinian action in the UK. These laws protect us more than they hurt our political rivals. Billionaires can give a Nazi salute at CPAC with virtually no consequences and no laws were unanimously passed to provide those consequences, whereas BDS was widely adopted. TLDR, you can’t trust politicians to tell us what hatred is.
- Comment on Robotaxis can break traffic laws without fines under new California rules 2 months ago:
The company must report the incident to the DMV within 72 hours, or 24 hours if the officer has designated the incident a priority because of “a clear or potential danger or risk of injury to others,” the regulations said.
Nothing says imminent danger like a 72 hour grace period to do something about it.

- Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials? 2 months ago:
I’ve heard that carbon is not necessarily the best basis for self replicating structures. Silicon is able to form a lot of similarly complex bonds that carbon is with a similar chain of reactions to our own. I don’t know if another life form from the ground up would even have diseases, although I guess cancer is pretty likely in any self replicating system due to cosmic rays. That would make it pretty hard to space travel though, one would expect their repair mechanisms to far excel beyond the durability of our own, which is actually pretty crap and easily confused with symmetrical DNA chains, excessive damage, repeating sequences, etc. There are other animals on earth that have better repair systems in place than us allowing them to live virtually forever, but none are mammals.

- Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials? 2 months ago:
I think in the event of war, it would be about as long as the time it takes for us to announce the war until it’s over. The technology to freely planet hop from another solar system is like the large hadron collider vs an ant using a leaf to cross a puddle.

We’d better hope they don’t have healing technology to share with us because he’ll give it to the insurance industry to manage after slapping a few guard rails on it.

Maybe we can all just pretend that Bernie is our leader. It’s a nice thought anyways.
- Comment on What do you think realistically would happen the moment we meet extraterrestrials? 2 months ago:
Pretty sure we’d have no communication with the alien that wasn’t just corrupt politicians trying to speak for us to get some sort of trade out of them to increase their own power. It’s too important for any/all normal people to have a voice, and then when the aliens dislike the abhorrent greed we’ll probably just suffer some how more than we already do. I’d say we’re better off not reporting any alien sightings. I would trust almost any human on earth more talking to aliens on my behalf than a so called leader currently. Maybe Ireland, Spain, a handful of others have better than regular Joe leaders, but it’s rare.
- Comment on How come Presidents don't just be honest with people? Like say I started this war because I own oil stock so tough shit. Or like yea I was a pedo back then so tough shit. so on and son on ? 2 months ago:
In order to be honest you need a Jesus-like or maybe even good Samaritan level of discipline for longer than you’ve probably even wanted to be in politics to avoid the media being able to cut you down if you’re not one of their preferred candidates, and if you’re honest you’re just simply not.
Zorhan is probably as close as I’ve seen to someone who accepts tough questions and responds with honesty. He’s basically a saint though and that’s not very common. Even considering that they’re going after his wife. Honesty, in short, is not rewarded with our political and media-driven landscape, unless you make them look stupid just by virtue of the nothing burgers they bring to bear. Otherwise you’re better off giving the razzle dazzle and moving on.
- Comment on How come it seems the transfer rate from an hard drive to usb is noticably slower? But a usb to usb is incredibly fast? 2 months ago:
Kinda depends on all 3 devices. Some USB devices can have extremely high burst rates before they’re heat saturated or some have ssd’s built in that can nearly peg the bus speed. Slow spindisks would be in the range of 80 mb/s or so where fast ones like sata Exos drives would be nearly 300 mb/s and sas even faster, some even bursting to max out the bus speed with their cache. Another factor is the load itself. Random access data is incredibly slow on spindisks compared to virtually any USB device, meaning lots of small files are going to crawl compared to big ones. Bit locker and tpm could be slowing it down if it needs to decrypt which isn’t likely slowing the USB drives down.
I think you’d get a better set of potential issues by being specific about the devices and interfaces.

Because they have empathy for people stuck in cycles of misery. There were many choices you made in your life that could have turned out much worse than they did. I wouldn’t want people like you to sneer at you for that either.

- Comment on How possible is it that Trump is doing some "insider trading" regarding the possible Iran strike in Polymarket? 5 months ago:
Not sure specifically about poly market, but whatever platform generates the best returns for insider trading is where the scheme is. One of his failsons owns part of a betting market and Baron trades crypto. Both have been enriched as a result. Oh, also Melania coin is literally a pump and dump. I wouldn’t say it’s possible, I’d say it’s definite.
- Comment on How would you describe that post sneeze smell? 5 months ago:
I only get it when I’m sick or about to be. Usually a sign of a sinus infection. Seems like mucus that hasn’t fully engulfed the source of infection still carries enough out to have a smell.
