They’re working hard on getting that gamebryo/creation engine to have physics on par with the source engine in 2004.
- Comment on After all, why not? 2 weeks ago:
The original comment says that “As we learn more vaping is turning out as bad as smoking” not “vaping is as bad as smoking” those two statements are not equivalent.
- Comment on After all, why not? 2 weeks ago:
And in another one of those links it explains that we really don’t know yet. It hasn’t been long enough to gather all the data. But please continue to cherry pick whatever supports your claim.
- Comment on After all, why not? 2 weeks ago:
I think there is also a specific use for cigarettes in that fashion, in any case cope harder. Vaping is bad for you.

There is still a dearth of evidence compared to 100+ years we have for smoking tobacco but the more we learn the less it’s possible to ignore how it’s turning out. Remember for decades that tobacco companies white washed cigarette smoking and even tried to make it sound therapeutic.
- Comment on After all, why not? 2 weeks ago:
Vaping is turning out just as bad as smoking the more we learn of its long term consequencea.

Eh, I don’t think a horse will narc on you like one of those police dogs they barely train. They basically use those dogs to get around unlawful search and seizure as it gives them a reason to go looking if they make the dog signal.

Best to second guess anything that is inviting you to indulge in self-pity I think.

I heard (also on NPR) that she has a rare vein condition which makes it incredibly difficult to administer anything by IV.

It is very important to remember as an individual that anybody has the power to completely turn off their empathy, and that some people are particularly well practiced at doing it.
- Comment on Never Kirket, Never Forgrift 1 month ago:
I would say that its a reflection of the sickness of the times but humans have always had a lust for violence. In any case we are headed in a direction where peace becomes harder and harder to stick to.
- Comment on Never Kirket, Never Forgrift 1 month ago:
It shouldn’t be that surprising that a guy who made a career peddling hate would become a focal point for people sick of that shit. The people yearn to shoot more racists in the neck. The meme cycle will subside shortly and the Kirk memes will diminish until next year (or until someone shoots another racist.)

First thing you’d need is a robotic lower back
- Comment on Climate Science Has A Forbidden Answer 2 months ago:
I wonder how much the aerosol from wildfires contributes to cooling too. It was noticeably cooler when the smoke was hanging in the air this summer. When we run out of forests to burn, not only will we have lost all that CO2 storage, smoke wont be contributing to cooling during the hottest phases of summer.

you can see upvote and downvote count on the piefed overlay by hovering over the number.

- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 2 months ago:
No, in the same sense that “putting a data center in space” doesn’t make any sense either. If they had decided to put high speed rail above ground in 2013, it could have been done and dusted by now. It could extend the whole coast of California by now. Digging that shit underground? They would be lucky to have 100 miles done. Its completely ignorant of the context, costs and impact associated with its design decisions, something that has become a pattern in the companies this particular manchild collects like playtoys.
- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 2 months ago:
Im specifically referencing hyperloop. Of course there are some contexts (usually dense urban ones) where trains in tunnels make sense, just like there are some contexts where putting data infrastructure in space makes sense.
- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 2 months ago:
Why put trains underground? The question isn’t of practicality, but if the idea would sound cool to a 10 year old.

I have a reputation among my friends for disappearing in the middle of things. Makes it a lot harder to do.
- Comment on China bans AI “boyfriends” and “girlfriends” over addiction and birth rate concerns 3 months ago:
I would argue a capitalist nation is any one that re-inforces private (not personal) property by law, and facilitates the exploitation of those resources through a market.
- Comment on China bans AI “boyfriends” and “girlfriends” over addiction and birth rate concerns 3 months ago:
It is funny to me that china can pretend not to be a capitalist nation while displaying every symptom of capitalism.

That will fix it.
