  It’s a bald move to blame the people you arrest for being arrested, well simultaneously saying that to rest these individuals is a waste of resources. Ok then, so prioritise, is it more important to go after the violent criminals or the non-violent criminals?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Large scale terror thwarted⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  Years ago I remember the police were trying to recruit and I turned them down on the basis of the pay with terrible. I guess that’s not my only complaint now.

  Fancy giving that as an excuse, “just following orders”, what utter crittens.

  I thought scientific racism was when you threw test tubes geologists.

  That’s how you become an organ donor. If people want to be racist let them be racist, at home with their medical issue still ongoing, they can either stop being racist, they can die of sepsis. But can be their choice.

  The laws don’t apply to the police, that’s why they always park like bellends.

  Fortunately it’s not real so you don’t need to worry. No one’s offended.

  You see this quite a lot though, “I woke up and my almond fallen off is this normal or should I go to the hospitals”, in the past when it was on reddit it was usually engagement farming not really sure what the point of that here is.

  The literally is a movie about people suffering from cancer. And one about somebody who’s lost a limb. I’m surprised someone as clearly educated in the film arts as you doesn’t know that.

  I used to be a security guard, which is similar levels of undemanding. You try watching a bunch of black ad white cameras all night, you get to the point where you go, oh look, a moth in genuine excitement.

  I almost feel like this when hearing about “war”

  “Have some sort of strategy”
  “If at all possible have a larger army than the enemy”
  “If step two is not possible, see step one”

  This is basically the whole book.

  Well maybe if the entire property wasn’t done up with the landlord special of tippex on walls and the world’s cheapest laminate floors they’d be able to hold up to the rigours of manual usage.

  They’ve moved on to mirrors in space now, after briefly experimenting with advertising on the moon which they gave up on when they realised no one would be able to see it.

  I’ve been driving for years and I’ve never used my airbag even once. What a waste of money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive History⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been in cars with electronic doors and the emergency latch is always super obvious, brightly coloured, only one case glowed in the dark. For some reason Tesla feel the need to hide it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive History⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish we had more variation in car designs but I suppose it would make licencing difficult. I’d like it if we could drive with foot pedals, push down to accelerate and twist left and right to turn like how it works on an aircraft. Then you could drive hands-free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive History⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not only does it fail to pass basic safety tests it’s also too heavy to drive on a normal licence in pretty much all the countries of the world. It weighs so much that it qualifies as a truck, not a pickup truck, a six wheeler. It’s so heavy it has to take alternate routes around old bridges.

  Even if it was legal in Europe, it’d be such an inconvenience to drive that no one would want one.

  The problem with tokens is that you need a very high amount of tokens in order to be able to actually do anything useful with an AI. See you all sat there with your 10,000 tokens thinking you’re rich and you have a 20 minute conversation with it and now you’re out of tokens.

  AI tokens suffer from an inflation problem you have really big numbers but they don’t actually represent actually all that much capability.

  Fortunately there the companies token so I really don’t care, but I’ve been miffed if I was the one paying for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain ‘Does Not Have Enough Water’ for Planned AI Data Centre Boom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is the 1% think that they can do that. But if they did everyone would just die and then they would have no money. It’s like the idiotic bunker plans to survive the end of the world, what’s their long-term strategy, they’re going to survive the environmental collapse they themselves caused and then what they’re going to do, live in the bunkers for the rest of eternity?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain ‘Does Not Have Enough Water’ for Planned AI Data Centre Boom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We always seem to be in the middle of a drought and yet the water companies never seem to be in any rush to fix burst pipes. Odd that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain ‘Does Not Have Enough Water’ for Planned AI Data Centre Boom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is they are heavily subsidised currently so they don’t actually care about using the cheaper more environmentally friendly solution. The easiest solution is to just hook the mains water supply into the cooling pumps and have the output go down a drain. The fact that it costs 100 bajillion quid a minute, they don’t care about because they don’t pay that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain ‘Does Not Have Enough Water’ for Planned AI Data Centre Boom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok I have a solution. Don’t build the data centres then, I’m ok with not having data centres in the country or anywhere else really, but I’ll settle for them not being here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well in fluid dynamics you don’t really make the distinction between liquid and gas. You can model air as basically just a very low viscosity fluid and it works. No one really knows why it works because it shouldn’t, air doesn’t stick to itself, but if you pretend that it does the simulations still work, even though they’re wrong.

  If you look in most physics textbooks even at quite a high level they will tell you that aircraft fly because air sticks to itself, but again, it doesn’t. No one is quite sure why aircraft work, no one’s all that certain where the lift comes from. But physics textbooks hate to admit that so they just pretend that air sticks to itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically they’re trying to claim that the Bernoulli principle is some amazing concept that only they’ve come up with.

  Their fans do work in the sense they do move more air but it creates so much back pressure that most of that air movement is lost. So you might as well not bother.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And yet despite the fact that they’re using less electricity and a smaller fan somehow the product costs five times as much as a normal fan. How does that work?
