There’s also that things have shrunk enough and that takes more precision and specialized tools to repair. And there’s also that some people, myself included, have absolutely no business messing around with capacitors and the like. It is just not everyone’s skillset, and that’s okay, we live with other people who cover what our personal skills don’t, and it comes with very lethal consequences if messed up. Which is also another reason that companies don’t like people tinkering with the insides of things; electricity does not care who you are and if not respected it can and will kill you, start a fire, etc. It’s one of the reasons companies don’t like people messing with the insides of electronics; bad PR and lawsuits if someone gets hurt.

I keep thinking that subscribing to communities in mastodon would ideally have the top level posts “reposted” by the community account and the comments on the posts in the replies to the posts. Does it work that way now or no?

I feel like an additional major danger here is putting them in conditions where disease can spread rapidly, then pointing to them being hurt by an outbreak and using the very situation they put them in as evidence that “immigrants are diseased” or the like, to fuel further persecution of immigrants both inside and out of the camp.

I mean, it didn’t. They aren’t the ones suffering, their son is. They got off scot free.

I don’t get why they don’t just have like, install cards with cheaper but slower storage on them for smaller game devs or extra large games that require installation to the system first before it can run. Seems like the in-between of key cards and full speed game cards which still might be faster than downloads and also helps game preservation by having the game actually on the card. Kind of like CD ROM or floppy disc games on PC.

And on the other hand, when you shout objection and the normal music keeps playing…

Elite Dangerous, Rimworld

Why didn’t he use the tow truck?

Just because something is out of my control doesn’t mean I’m not responsible for or guilty of it, though.

Friend is now playing Skyrim. *few minutes pass* Friend is now playing Skyrim. *few seconds pass* Friend is now playing Skyrim. *two seconds pass* Friend is now playing Skyrim. *30 minutes later* “Oh looks like they finally got it work-” Friend is now playing Skyrim.

Frustrating to say the least. Still use chrome because it has some things I still like, but I also used the registry key to keep manifest 2 extensions for now. Switching back to Firefox from chrome after I think a decade of use is going to be mentally taxing, especially for someone who reacts as poorly to change and is as lazy as me. Frustrating how Google has gone from the earlier days of don’t be evil to being who they are today.

Hmm, yeah, good point. What if you throw a bunch of dirt or sand on it from a truck filled with it from a distance until it’s covered? Like one of those things that poke up from wood chippers and launches the chipped wood into a higher truck, but redesigned to throw dirt or sand at a burning EV from a dump truck at a safe distance?

I wonder, would some quickly deployable heat barrier to surround it that can be filled with water once work? Kind of like dunking it a pool, except kind of backwards in that the “pool” is deployed around it and then filled?

It feels like eugenics.
