  What I’m reading is “bring a bottle jack” and just pry the thing in half.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dont do it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking at them I’m not even sure you’d need to break concrete, I’m pretty certain they’re thin wall steel construction. A circular saw would make a nice doorway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is Arthur Schopenhauer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t get over how DSG exhaust sound like farts.

  Its completely unnecessary too.

  They even put the ram logo on it.

  All of europe gets on fine without comfort pickups. They’re just a stupid, impractical design.

  Even if you did need a bed, look at this sucker, dual cab and a decent bed that tips!

  And both of these are friend-shaped so they don’t absolutely annihilate the people they hit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you (a regular American citizen) had actionable, insider knowledge about the US Federal Government/Military and felt the public should know, how would you tell everyone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love that legal insider trading is basically what they’re promoting.

  “Give us half your money or give us half your scalp”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do trains save fuel when they literally park on the tracks and block multiple intersections, with over a hundred vehicles steady burning gas all around waiting for the train to fucking move?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is because Prescision Scheduled Railroading is bollocks and leads to super long trains just blocking eachother up…

  Its all to reduce the number of crews.

  Basically, its capitalism again.

  Its like, our only real business success of the 2020s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold: A vibe-designed pcb⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’re saying it generated the schematic and the pcb… and then they didn’t look at all?

  Or that they did and didn’t see what was wrong with it?

  They absolutely deserve to be the butt of jokes. I bet they let the robot summarise books for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are prop, non functioning guns way more expensive than airsoft guns?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Volume and model design reproduction accuracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets scammed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t need the music industry using my money for forward anti-consumer practices, thanks. Its unethical to buy music from the industry. Go see a gig, buy a shirt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I was in the market for a good used car, which car would be the best to outrun the cops?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely lawless country lmao

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I was in the market for a good used car, which car would be the best to outrun the cops?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Outrunning the chopper is more about endurance. Or its a lotus carlton and it just… leaves the chopper behind and disappears into the night.

  40RA was one of the most prolific getaway cars in britain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's say hypothetically I wanted to leave the US permanently;⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its because their concept of immigration is sitting in Mexico waiting for 20 years to be allowed into the US finally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI shelves Stargate UK in blow to Britain’s AI ambitions⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that the one that was announced but was still a scrapyard, or is this another story of British failure?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually have a plan after Trump and clean up? Try as he might he's not in there forever. Can we be allies again with old ones while trying to stregthen ties with new one?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you know how fucking drastic shit has to be to get boring EU companies to be like “Yeah maybe lets entirely divest from the US tech stack”

  We’re here. Hedgemony’s dead bro, the US doesn’t make anything we want any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually have a plan after Trump and clean up? Try as he might he's not in there forever. Can we be allies again with old ones while trying to stregthen ties with new one?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  President doesn’t have that much power.

  You’d think…

  Have you considered that money is speech tho?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do office going men still wear suits in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I’m glad they’re almost dead.

  Suits were a consequence of the professionalization of what would otherwise be trade workers. Most of those that put on suits didn’t get to get a union, either.

  A software developer is a machine monkey, just in air conditioning and no grease under their nails. For some god damn reason they have to wear a collar and tie. This pushed most of the devs with career mobility to reject that and you get the sandles-and-t-shirt techbro stereotype.

  Suits are too expensive to get tailored and off-the-shelf ends up looking a bit tragic on the majority that are compelled to wear 'em.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with people liking old devices?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just want consumer electronics to be fun and ethical again.

  I want bright semi-transparent interchangable plastics and everything to use the same fastener (I’ll give them a pass on screw lengths, though if they were being bros they’d use different colours of locktite or paint pen on each length.

  Society wont heal until semi-transparent colourful plastics are everywhere on consumer products again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the US headed to a Plutacracy? Like Plato predicted would take place after the fall of a Democracy?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just hearing “fascism is government and business” and then some nonsense skydaddy speak.

  I don’t understand you, old man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is cryptocurrency good for anything?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It was (briefly) useful for buying and selling illicit substances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows boss promises to heal the operating system's wounds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Consider trying to play the same games that you regularly play on linux and see if you could be free of Redmond’s touch
