I remember listening to an episode of TWiV where they bemoaned that more negative results weren’t published. They’re useful, too, just not nearly as cool and flashy as positive results.

About the only thing keeping me off Sony is that they’ve got a really bad star eater problem in their DSLRs, and even still somewhat in their mirror less.

Well, shit. I was planning on getting a Canon for my first camera because it’s hard to beat them for astrophotography, but I’m less sure now.

I can instantly convert roads into corresponding rail transit lines. Highways to heavy rail, city arterials to light rail, sub arterials to grams, and interstates to high speed rail, etc.
- Comment on I can't believe this is a real article. Just wow. 3 days ago:
Usery (interest) is expressly forbidden in the New testament, so Christians couldn’t give loans with interest. That’s where the bad old banker stereotype for Jews comes from, as well, I imagine, as the bad old stereotypes of Jews as the wealthy elite secretly controlling society. They were, essentially, the finance bros of the geopolitical reality in old Europe, because nobody else could issue loans with interest. If we want to “get back to Christian values”, then we need to ban charging interest.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 4 days ago:
A friend and I just had a conversation today about how using contractors instead of CalTrans crews to build CAHSR has probably meaningfully contributed to the cost overruns.

Californians: “idk, he just kept asking and I kept saying, like, the beach? The coast? The seaside? Eventually he just stormed off in a huff, but, yeah, no, super weird guy. I still don’t know what he wanted.”
Context: as long as I’ve been on the west coast, I’ve literally never heard anyone call it the shore.

I can almost promise you that what dipshit is offering here is something he has no idea about. He’s going to take the money, give us something dangerous and broken that doesn’t even satisfy the minimum requirements of the project, and run off telling everyone what a great success it was because they got it done in two weeks.

Yeah, the Vegas loop, as I understand it to be built, would never be allowed by any sane or even rogue/mad civil engineer, and that’s basically just a gussied up go-kart tunnel. No way in fuck they need to be allowed anywhere near train infra.

Straight up, one time we got called out to “check on” a homeless woman sleeping at a bus stop. It’s no surprise, people weaponized EMS/Fire to harass sleeping homeless people because the cops sometimes won’t do shit and we can’t say “no, they’re just sleeping and obviously not dead, dipshit”, because there’s always the one chance that they aren’t actually sleeping and really are dead or dying. So, we show up, and fire beat us there. They’re checking on her and basically telling us “hold on, she’s refusing care.” We hold tight and they cut us loose after a few minutes. Well, fire ended up clearing us from the scene. Later on, we run into that same crew, and they told us that on their way to this next call, that same woman ran right out into the middle of the big ass boulevard (it was night), almost in front of them, and started hopping up and down shooting them birds akimbo. Good times.

I don’t really care that they’re running .ml. It’s fine if it bothers you enough to not donate to them, that’s your business. My SO is never going to agree to let me donate to Lemmy, so I’m going to see if I can eek out some time to learn the codebase and contribute that way.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
Imo, it’s people just rationalizing not wanting to give $5 away. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with deciding you don’t want to donate, that’s your choice, but be honest with yourself. If they weren’t commies, people would be finding some other excuse to not donate.

Eh, if you want to contribute to Lemmy development, then contribute. If you don’t, the. don’t.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
Tbh, of all the tankie triad, .ml is the chillest, and my own experience is that, unlike the Nazis, they generally don’t cause issues off server. Now, if you wander into Hexbear and spout some mainstream view, well, good luck, partner, but it’s their server. Besides, I sometimes ask myself what the CIA would do and try to do the opposite for the sake of all mankind. It doesn’t really bother me that they run .ml.

The devs also say that they would gladly accept any development help as well, if you’re either unwilling or unable to financially contribute.

AND it’s open source software. Nothing is stopping anyone from just forking Lemmy.
