I’ll see that and raise you someone who doesn’t have a ton of videos titled “you won’t BELIEVE how awful this communist group was!”: youtu.be/sB5-yxDrDQk

No, he left (and abdicated all of his own titles and citizenship) to go fight against imperialism in the Congo.

I think that was a total, not just his base salary, but I didn’t look into it too carefully.
- Comment on Neoliberal is the new woke 4 days ago:
Does McCarthy calling everyone he didn’t like a communist or socialist mean that communism and socialism don’t exist?

They’re paid very handsomely not to. Watters is estimated to make $5 million a year.

Just because neoliberals tolerate gay people doesn’t mean that gay rights are inherently neoliberal. Democracy, maybe, but we don’t know if they were doing elections with unlimited campaign spending by property owners or if they were voting in workers’ councils. Classical Athens, the United States, the PRC, the DPRK, and the Republic of Ireland all have/had democracies in some sense, but they vary massively in implementation, and anyone who calls all of those neoliberal is either very confused or not being sincere.
Furthermore, trying to change the world is central to nearly any RPG. A crusade to obtain human rights doesn’t prohibit whimsy or enjoyment, but when you do the fantasy equivalent of traveling to modern Gaza to organize a festival, you shouldn’t be terribly surprised when you get a bad ending regardless of whether you accomplish your goal.
- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 2 weeks ago:
He had a whole goddamn sentencing hearing where they sentenced him to nothing. Explicitly.

Russia is a member of the UN.

I assume cops are guilty until proven innocent.
- Comment on Are US cops (or sheriffs) able to exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction? 5 weeks ago:
Well, lack of jurisdiction doesn’t make bullets or gravity less effective. A NY cop in LA is still perfectly capable of murder.

Just claim the man was trans and you’d probably get away with it 💀

Fucking Andy Ngo and his milkshake whining. “It had concrete in it!” No it didn’t, what would that even do? It was liquid. You’re just a baby.

Or just die of smoke inhalation.

Flock, and no, you’d never get a court to rule in your favor. The only way for the situation you describe to happen is if every court between you and the SCotUS ruled in your favor.

What do I have? A best friend and a girl! I’m hoping she’s a girlfriend and not a daughter, because I can’t afford the latter.

We’re on the same page. I even mentioned the Nazis in my comment!
- Comment on Can't believe its been 2 weeks 1 month ago:
Two hundred million? They managed to double their kill count since 2000? Impressive, especially considering the lack of invading Nazis to mow down en masse for easy numbers.

You can still get modern motherboards with PS/2.
And yeah, it isn’t hot-pluggable. I think that probably had as much to do with killing it off as the versatility of USB.
- Comment on The legendary PS2 1 month ago:
Hey, me too! I just need to get a bracket to hold the hard drive properly. I just need to learn to use a 3D printer.
- Comment on The legendary PS2 1 month ago:
That’s impressive. Playing them in a Discman is easy, but a Walkman?
- Comment on The legendary PS2 1 month ago:
Not a very popular computer, but it set a standard that was nearly ubiquitous for mice until USB took over and was popular on keyboards even after that.
- Comment on Karoline Leavitt. She says she wear a cross because she is a good christian. 1 month ago:
She lasted about 57 Scaramuccis. That’s pretty impressive tbh.
- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 1 month ago:
I do really appreciate that The Gang’s misbehavior always ends up screwing them over. That’s a big difference compared to South Park.
- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 1 month ago:
people who believe in stuff are the real fools
That’s a really good distillation of their ethos. I’m going to try to remember it.
- Comment on Could machines develop consciousness just like we did? 1 month ago:
Yes. Humans are fundamentally subject to the same laws of physics that machines are. However, it took about three billion years from the first life to the first sapient life, so I wouldn’t count on machines getting there anytime soon.

I’d categorize you more as a horseback Jesus than a lolcow. Lolcows face more derision.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Care to explain your reasoning, then? Or did you just want to feel smug?
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I was a little worried that that part would distract from the overall message, so I’m glad I ended up leaving it in and I appreciate you telling me that it helped.

Nope. Circuit breakers do not break on absolute current values.
Huh, TIL.
Ever. Period. At all.
That doesn’t seem to be supported by my research. Standard breakers are designed to trip based on a function of over-current and time, but that doesn’t preclude any breakers from using current alone.
Even a basic spec sheet will inform you as much…
It won’t. I checked. A more detailed spec sheet will, but not a basic one.
It’s why many euro firms make fun of American standards: They’re literally not expressive of reality.
They sure look like they are. The rating is the current that the breaker can sustain indefinitely at the reference temperature. And it sure looks like the EU rates the the same way.
Even GFCI’s can shock the fuck out of you in certain circumstances.
Of course they can. You aren’t a ground fault. A load of 100mA on a GFCI is perfectly normal, and the same load will kill a human very quickly.
