- Comment on What does everyone think of the economic outlook for the next year? 4 days ago:
The global economy is severely weakened, but stable. There is also a long list of developments that could crater everything, both literally and figuratively, and very little to look forward to for the vast majority of the population.
Best case scenario is the ending of multiple hostilities, allowing the resumption of trade, and a slow grinding recovery.
Worst case scenario is an extinction event, either caused by escalation in Ukraine, or to a lesser extent Iran, leading to nuclear conflict.
Both extreme’s are unlikely, and the entire range between them is just various levels of who is going to get fucked.

Depends on the actual spot, there a holes in the bottom of some of those canals, there could have been a head injury when she fell. Until someone is actually standing where she fell in, you don’t actually know the depth.

The human/gorilla common ancestor walked upright on two feet. Humans kept it, gorillas evolved towards foot/knuckle walking.

From the point of contact, or including time to find a good one? A good assassin can be very quick.
I’ll give ya cheaper though. Good work costs good money.

- Comment on Six different ways that prove the wealthy pay a lot more than their ‘fair share’ 2 weeks ago:
They also get far more benefit from police, military, legal protections and processes. As far as tax burden goes, they’re getting a bargain. Add in the regulatory capture of the labor market and they’re getting slaves cheaper than slavery. Except when they’re using actual slaves in our prisons.
- Comment on Six different ways that prove the wealthy pay a lot more than their ‘fair share’ 2 weeks ago:
Notice they start with only the progressive federal income tax, then don’t mention sales taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes and every other regressive tax? Because once you fill in the rest of the tax burden, it’s essentially flat. The top 1% takes essentially all productivity gains in the economy, while tax burdens are spread across the entire population.
While taxation isn’t the only answer, or cause, of the problem, it is part of the solution.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 Early Access Gameplay Trailer 3 weeks ago:
Yeah Krafton can fuck right off, but at this point game sales will determine what the devs get paid, so it’s well worth it to support the game. Assuming it’s up to snuff as a game of course. I’ll be waiting until after early access myself, but I have high hopes it’s a good game. The video shows what could be some nice improvements.

Looks like the devs won their lawsuit, so totally worth checking out.

Sadly the government has decided to hurt all women
in pushing for these new hate rules.They wrote a whole project about it.

Nothing you type on the internet is truly private, if it were, you wouldn’t be allowed to do it.

Anyone know how much ram is in one of those security dogs?
- Comment on 3.9% APR 5 weeks ago:
It wasn’t what I’d call a highway vehicle, but it would get your around town. No power, but it weighed nothing so they were ok for slow off road use. If you draft a big enough semi you can get them up to 85.
- Comment on Me emitting 20KG of CO2 by using Google search to spellcheck individual words 2 months ago:
Most of the time for me it’s not even that the spell checker doesn’t know the word, it’s that it can’t unmangle my typing or misspelling. Teh it knows is wrong, and obviously knows ‘the’, but doesn’t even suggest it as a correction.

You kinda have to when most local spell checkers suck so bad.

Ah Spring is in the air…and the drains apparently.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I think the bigger problem is going to be too much support for solo play. A big part of what made EQ work was getting people into groups and guilds and the connections made in that pursuit. Without it, the game was just a boring grind, the game play and story lines were all very basic.

- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 months ago:
Sure just double the vram and your AI can run, unfortunately you can’t afford that vram because billionaires are running AI.
- Comment on Is "dark humor" generally acceptable or is it just my parents/culture more sensitive towards jokes? 2 months ago:
I’ve found that people who are offended by dark humor (the non racist variety) tend to be people I don’t like, and don’t trust alone with children.
- Comment on What should've been the point or points for society to throw up their hands and stop supporting the government? 2 months ago:
Reagan openly committing treason by selling arms to Iran.
- Comment on The list is realistically so much longer. 2 months ago:
Asking if you trust the government is a stupid loaded question. No one trusts the government. You don’t trust a loaded gun, but it’s the best tool to have in your hand if someone’s trying to kill you. Government isn’t something you trust, it’s a tool that might be the best for some jobs.

- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 3 months ago:
Amps are used when deciding the wiring. So that afterwords you know if your plug matches, it works in that outlet.
- Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced? 3 months ago:
Each tumbler has 4 to 6 sizes in 3 to 6 holes. They set the combination, then cut the key and put the matching tumblers in a standard housing.
Half the security on most locks is that it’s hard to get tools in the tiny slots. The actual number of combinations is small, but difficult to scan through.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 3 months ago:
Being barefoot is a luxury not everyone has. Combine that with not being able to wear slip on shoes and it’s a bit of a bigger problem.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 3 months ago:
Laced shoes are a pita to flip on and off. If you’re in a dry area there’s no reason to take off your shoes.
If you can wear sandals, or it’s a wet sloppy environment, then yeah it makes sense to take them off at the door.
- Comment on If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for? 3 months ago:
I’ll vote for the candidate that I think is going to do the most to advance the policy goals I’d like. Right now that happens to be the opposite of everything the GoP is doing, and half of what the Dems are doing.
