Hello, sorry for commenting on this out of nowhere, but I found the podcast you suggested and wanted to ask you a question, if you don't mind.
The host of the podcast retweets groups of vandals who slash car tyres and smash people's headlights. Links: https://twitter.com/Naparstek https://twitter.com/T_Extinguishers/status/1630479016531578881
Can you explain? Are you acting as the public facing moderate voice of a violent extremist movement?

How long does it take to have sex?
An entire four day weekend ideally, IIRC. Good luck handling that in your thirties: I know I couldn't.

Hi, curious if you have further thoughts about this given the events of the last few weeks, especially things like this: https://twitter.com/RachelJessWolff/status/1719901617305084373
Have you seen any pushback from fellow leftists? Can you link examples of any?
And here I felt stupid for holding some VGK to diversify away from the US. FTSE smells of regret and cold mushy peas.

I hadn't actually considered an iphone, in retrospect strictly out of tribalism. But honestly just the thought of using the youtube app without adblocking makes me want to gouge out my eyes and stuff them in my ears, so it's probably out regardless.
Yeah, I was trying to read up on mobile chipsets for a while, but realized I don't have the time to be doing that kind of dive just to buy a damn phone any more. It's infuriating, honestly.

Can you tell me what you're doing? Can you explain how the motte has helped you do it? Can you point to something you've learned by engaging with people who don't just disagree with you on "issues", but spend enormous effort trying to lie and manipulate you like certain users do? (you can guess who I mean)
Just give me some hope there's a meaning in any of this. Because I read your "moment of crisis," and you were right about all of it. Everyone who said you were wrong or exaggerating was proven to be lying just because they didn't want you to take action.

Any chance you could clue me in, or am I better off not knowing? Hadn't even heard Eigen got doxxed. Who did that?
In case anyone's wondering about this ban, the real reason is that fuckduck got into a fight with a mod the other day, but the clique needed another excuse to ban him.
I probably should have made an alt account to say this, because now I'll probably get perma'ed for misusing an apostrophe next week or something.

It was darwin. He must have finally triggered something in the site code.

And hope the nuclear codes are still 12345?

I thought TPOT guys were supposed to be a light-hearted and happy crew of post-rational surrealists or something. Are they really all depressed layabouts who hang out on twitter too much?

Yeiyan Yippie looks alright tbh. Noticed they harvested good reviews from a $900 budget model before switching to this more expensive one. The "premade Yeyian windows account" sounds sketchy as fuck though.
Also check if there's a single 16GB ram stick, or 2x8. If it's a single you can get another one for dual channel, and 16 to 32 is a decent upgrade if you do a lot of ram intensive stuff.

Hourly btu is a standard unit of measure everywhere. Air conditioners are always listed as some multiple of "12,000BTU" all over the world.

Do you see the irony in "I wish we had more leftists, like that other place where they ban anyone who isn't leftist"?

I'm trying vivaldi and like it: haven't even needed any addons yet, it's that customizable. But it's got an annoying bug where the browser crashes if you move your mouse too fast in the main menu. It's tolerable because you don't need the menu for much, but wow that's dumb.

No need, I already threw out every number except 0. They'd just been sitting in a box for centuries.
Is there a story behind how you ended up at a queer amateur porn festival? And what was disturbing about the tiny fleshlight? Normally the packaging on those is the sketchy part, at least if it's in japanese...

Weren't all the capital ship fights in Freespace scripted? It looked like they wanted to develop the system more, but ran out of time (and most of the fights needed to be tightly controlled for story reasons anyway)

So why would you be upset if reddit is destroyed if you "hate their kind" so much? Wouldn't it improve the quality of the internet?

(6)Standards for general service lamps.—
(A)Rulemaking before january 1, 2014.—
(i)In general.—Not later than January 1, 2014, the Secretary shall initiate a rulemaking procedure to determine whether—
(I)standards in effect for general service lamps should be amended to establish more stringent standards than the standards specified in paragraph (1)(A); and
(II)the exemptions for certain incandescent lamps should be maintained or discontinued based, in part, on exempted lamp sales collected by the Secretary from manufacturers.
They were empowered to do it once, with a final date no later than Jan 2022. Now they keep changing the rules every few years based on what power or rule?

Ahh, maybe it's still a little too early for you to start gloating. You never know.

November 26, 2007, my bad. I thought they only started building their house that year, and the enforcement came later.

No, I don't have a cell phone plan, because $10/mo prepaid works so much better. So I don't get all the trade-in offers that (honestly) seem like more trouble than they're worth)
Is anybody on Bluesky? There is some sort of drama going on that looks like an attempt to skinsuit the dev team.
The devs have already caved from the looks of it.
