  The usefulness is dubious for most house cats. Most households don’t have mouse infestations, and cats who go outside actively endanger wildlife (and yes, that is an issue for humans as well).

  I’d say our cats are useful. These are their stats:

  Number of birds killed by cats in my household over the last 5 years: 1
  Number of birds killed by going full speed, beak first, into a closed window, then tried being passed off as a successful prey: 2 Number of mice killed: +500
  Other wildlife known to have been affected: 1 mole

  Can other wildlife have been affected? Possibly, but we’re confident with regards to birds. And the only other weve seen cats go for are mice. Not even rats, I guess they’re too big.

  But that’s just indoor shooting, right? (The page doesn’t work on my phone)

  I wouldn’t want to shoot much larger guns than 22 indoors routinely. But that’s maybe the viking in me talking ❄️⚔️🔥

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever this comes up I like to add:

  • Don’t get a gun in some obscure caliber. Get a pistol in 9mm or a riffle in 223 (even better get a 5.56x45 NATO) or 308 win, that way ammo will be cheaper and you can better afford training with it. Shooting a few hundred rounds is not really enough. You’ll need to train regularly.
  • Learn how to maintain your gun. As in how to clean it, what parts need lubrication, adjusting the sights, etc.
  • Speaking as an electronic engineer, get passive ear protection. Active noise cancelling is cool and all, but what about when the batteries run out and you have no protection? Or what the electronics fail? Protect your ears, but when you can get +100 rounds of ammo for the price difference, then I would prioritize the ammo budget.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re not a gun person don’t bother with a rifle or handgun, get a shotgun.

  You don’t have to worry about over penetration with a shotgun, and it’s easier to hit with than a pistol.

  If you want to know what a proper rifle is, then that’s really a subjective assessment. I would say that a 22lr is ok, unless you need fight people in body armor. But I can see how big burly Muricans want something in 338 lapua or 50 bmg.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not convinced that these people are organized and competent enough to kill people in that scale without people finding out.

  Same thoughts. But also too incompetent to single out the detainees who won’t ve missed.

  That said, I am certain that a whole lot if people have been killed in custody and covered up, but I don’t think it’s on a scale like that.

  Oh for sure, but it’ll again be at least part Incompetence and part maliciousness, with an unfortunate outcome.

  As a fellow engineer I’m also never arguing, only explaining why somebody’s wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE agents attempt to arrest US Citizen in St Peter, Minnesota⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ICE is breaking the law wholesale by targeting citizens exercising their 1st Amendment rights

  Yes, you’re in the right, and ICE is in the wrong, and keep filming them, just know that being right isn’t always healthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE agents attempt to arrest US Citizen in St Peter, Minnesota⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you start a line with "1. " (as in: one period space) then it’ll be treated like a numbered list. You don’t have to increment the number, just keep using 1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, civil war will only happen if states bands together and starts fighting each other or the federal armed forces.

  What we’ve seen so far has been almost too small to be called skirmishes. The intensity and size of the confrontations will likely increase, but it won’t be civil war.

  Well, you want rent money, don’t you? Then keep back the tears and start wriggling those piggies, while telling me a sexy story about how sweaty they were today. /s

  Seriously though, just keep a self-hosted LLM for the communications, that way you don’t have to even try to tell the freaks apart. Just make sure nobody tries the ol’ “ignore previous instructions” trick

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Buy womens discount underwear, wash it a lot, make sure to tumble dry as well. When it’s good and “worn” buy cans of mackerel in tomato sauce. Smear some of the sauce in the crotch of the underwear. For a premium product you could not shower for a few days and wear it while buying the fish. Maybe forget to shake before whipping your dick back in.

  What am I even doing with an everyday boring job, I should be doing this myself.

  Have you tried selling it or are you just guessing? I mean, there’s some fucked up weirdos out there.

  They gave him a peace prize. The FIFA Peace Prize smh

  Maybe we should have some people from SI give him something, so that the US will ditch those stupid units. He’s got a peace prize and a jet, so something else… How about a gold helicopter with AI in it? We could have the tail rotor fitted with LEDs some it’ll spell out TRUMP when flying. If we better make it good enough, maybe he’ll have ICE pickup anybody using feet or fahrenheit.

  I can do you one even better. I am full time employed, I train IT supporters. Which means, that my job is to enable people to waste their time, in order to make you be able to waste yours. Just taking another trip round the wast-o-time-ception merry-go-round: my school employs IT staff as well.

  Life is hard, pointless, and full of injustice. But at least in the end you get to die a meaningless death while alone and afraid.

  This got dark, remember that you need to pretend to be happy again come Monday morning. Otherwise starvation will get you before the tumor, that you didn’t know you were to going to get 5 years before “retirement”.

  I didn’t notice the USB port on the right, I was so focused on the shitty alignments. Like how can you fuck up only some of the 'S’s? I get that the ports are a result of the outline of the parts soldered to the board. And getting the HDMI vertically centered, or having the single USB port not turned 180°, would require both effort and a bit pricier BOM … But! The engraving? It’s the one thing that’s not relying on external factors.

  That’s the reason I don’t drive a VW ID3. I wanted one, I really really wanted one. But during my test drive, I got a 10s timeout from the display, for apparently tapping too fast while trying to adjust the AC, WTF? And don’t get me started on the stupid mood lighting.

  Too bad, it was in my price range, rear wheel drive, 236hp and a decent range. And there’s soo many of them on the roads in my country that spare parts wouldn’t be an issue.

  Luckily it looks like some car manufactures have decided to ditch the ginormous look-at-me-I’m-just-like-a-tesla touch-screens. Kia, hyundai and VW at least according to slashgear.com/…/major-automakers-removing-touch-s…
