Yeah I think closing the circuit might be more accurate than shorting it in this case. That’s how we referred to it when I was training to be an electrician.

Epstein and Bannon were busy there. And probably paying other foreign trolls to help them.

And the ability for average incomes to buy, build, and furnish a home, sure.
- Comment on Save as PDF 5 days ago:
Postscript (not the P in PDF, even though I think it should have been) is how Portable Document Format is made.
PostScript’s original purpose was for formatting documents to print with laser printers, but to also interpret font hinting and display features for lower resolution printing. But it required printers to process them before rasterization.
It was so good at this that it made sense to also use it for the much lower resolution of computer screens once computers were powerful enough to do the rasterization themselves. Hence the PDF replacing most .PS (PostScript) files, unless you were a graphic design student in the late 90s.

Sorry I guess I missed that in your comment.
Do you think venting wood smoke is innate, or because we’ll die from CO poisoning if we don’t and humans could tell each other not to light a fire in an enclosed space since we’ve been able to communicate.

Doesn’t chewing tobacco related cancers suggest it’s the tobacco as well?

That would make it a conversation halfpipe.
I’m in.

Let them have wing suits. I wann see the camera people have to work for it when they have to track the skiers into the parking lot.

Pantry raid was right there

Bill Clinton did it to, though I think his doctor basically said he was dead if he didn’t.
- Comment on Start-up idea 6 days ago:
Banning CFCs was the biggest hit to long-lasting, efficient AC and refrigeration.
It was also critical to stopping the complete removal of the fucking ozone layer.
That’s not to say we couldn’t build a lot more stuff without obsolescence fuses, unrepairable designs, and trickling out features to force unnecessary replacement.

Blue lives matter, or was a racist response to black lines matter. All lines matter was a similarly racist response after all those police killings the last time around.

Also the brain damage takes its toll

I think that’s why they’re letting measles spread in the concentration camps. They want them dead, but it has to look like an accident.
- Comment on I've Hit The Perfect Weight 1 week ago:
Getting to 420kg without dying doesn’t sound that easy. It’s over half an F1car! You aren’t gonna be leaving you reinforced bed without a lot of help for a much of the time.

He puts his symbol everywhere. Like everything he owns is covered/made out of that symbol. Certainly that would be his tag/signature right?
- Comment on lightbulbs 1 week ago:
Except for the cave paintings, that’s exactly the case.

Probably some piece of the Death Star or something.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 2 weeks ago:
BeamNG, but it’s Windoze only and I only have relatively older Macs.
I should get steam deck or cube maybe if it’s affordable.
- Comment on Just say the word 2 weeks ago:
My boomer dad was a sort of stay at home dad in the off season for his construction work. (Temperature dependent waterproofing).
We got to spend winters wood working, skiing (he was an instructor and coach to allow us to afford it) and just being around to have fun with.
He died too young to meet my son, but I’ve been basically working from home in a similar way as much as possible and just got home from the mountain where I work to get us free passes and lessons.
Painting all boomers as misogynists is understandable, as many were, probably after being brought up by the war babies and silent ge. But many weren’t like that, had hippie roots and never succumbed to the yuppie greed that many did in the 80s.
The housing crisis unlocked that in me, and I’ve never worked steady jobs since then. I was lucky enough to be part of what’s now called a lifestyle startup (prioritizing comfortable life work, instead of grinding growth), but we made it 10 years before our market vanished with COVID. But I wouldn’t change much, except getting better dental coverage and moving to a country with universal healthcare.

Doritos and shredded pepper jack aren’t half bad with some good hot salsa.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 2 weeks ago:
They also have to justify how keeping at least 3-5% of people unemployed is a good thing for their economy god. That one and that inflation and growth are required to keep an economy going when we all know that there could be sustainable level existence if the investor class didn’t exist.

- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s kinda what I was envisioning, maybe half the tether zingin off into space when the other half fell into the pacific or desert, but even half is gonna be like 20,000km I guess.
Also wasn’t there a scenario like this in one of the Mars Trilogy books?

It was supposed to say “death and” autocorrect had other ideas I guess.

Yeah the dearth of destruction left by it falling would be insane. I assume it would have to be built along mainly west coasts to mitigate risks.
