Ha! my buddy asked me how my patent was coming along last night. Cringe.

That’s pretty much my understanding too, but I’d like to point out that conscripted labor is pretty analogous to a tax. My contemplation on the subject:
I think equitable taxes are good when the revenue is used for things that benefit society.
I don’t know how equitably the labour was conscripted.
I don’t think enormous pyramids are good for society, but on the other hand I don’t know how ancient Egyptian workers would have felt about the topic.
I suspect that the Pharoahs weren’t very concerned about how the workers felt about the topic.
Go to the hardware store and get some pex tubing, and a shark bite union fitting.
Cut the tubing to the size you want, use the fitting to close the loop. The fitting can be removed by pressing on the ring around where the tubing goes in. They’re may be a tool that will make this easier.
So you can put all your chokers on the ring, then rotate the one you want to the opening
I know nothing about any of this, but could one put the epoxy on a large flat surface and then put the wood on top face down?
Probably wouldn’t work /shrug
I needed to upgrade my modem because the isp capped the speed of docsis 3.0 modems to like 75Mbps. I remember being quite upset because I was previously getting 125Mbps service on the same modem. I seem to recall there was a quasi legit technical reason for it though.
It’s not, but it seems Argentina doesn’t think people should be allowed to own their phones.
in bc we have two tier pricing, the first X kilowatthours per month is I think 0.08CAD (~0.05USD), the second is 0.15CAD (~0.11USD)
Our power mostly comes from hydroelectric dams, but we wheel and deal it interprovincially so within the course of a day we’ll spend some time importing and some time exporting which gives us lower rates, and lets other places run more efficiently (ie Fewer gas turbines)
THPS 1+2 (the HD remake) is excellent but they decided not to do a THPS3+4 remake. Presumably due to low numbers. BUT online is broken. What I mean by broken is that you basically can’t log in to the server if your console is connected to the internet through a router. As far as I know Activision never acknowledged that failure. Do you think this problem might have hurt sales/microtransaction revenue?
Women are not allowed to choose what they wear and they are probably looking for revenue streams and the pendulum is swinging away from religious tolerance.
Jeezus!
Yeah I think that the best plan would be to genre edit a solution, then selectively breed ‘normal’ humans to recreate that engineered genome
If they know these people are active criminals they will have no problem citing just cause for arrest and search.
I live in Canada, our gun rules are different than the USA. This week in my city some charges against a dangerous criminal were dropped because the police had a “flagrant disregard for charter rights” (according to the judge) (oir charter rights are similar to American civil rights)
They searched him improperly, and found a loaded, illegal gun. Charges dismissed. If they had handled it properly they could have made the charges stick. What a waste of everyone’s time. Police didn’t respect his rights because they don’t respect my rights.
The water in my community has poison added to it by my local government. It’s a poison so heinous its usage is banned in war. It affects the clarity and taste of the water. No matter how many letters I write they are totally unwilling to stop chlorinating the water. It’s outrageous!
Is there a way to set up patreon for any ad free website I browse?
Could my browser have some sort of cryptographically signed cookie that would let ad-free websites deduct 1-5 cents from my browsing account?
Website could check for the cookie before loading the ads?
Has this been tried?
Thanks. Yeah you’re recommending what I was initially thinking.
You should probably use a simulation tool to check the circuit before you start destroying chips.
Fair!
I work in industrial automation and have a background in pneumatics. I think you’ll be surprised at how inefficient pressurizing/moving air is. I think the most practical solution (if you can call it that) is likely carrying an air reservoir that can be pumped up with a bike pump, and having a valve to trigger the whistle. There isn’t really a safe way to carry compressed air on a bicycle because it’s inherently dangerous to transport. There are lots of ways to make an unsafe air reservoir for example what Chris Notap on you tube does.
Is the door like that because it was damaged in the fighting, or because of general neglect?
The weeds suggest neglect.
Is that what we call Beaver Belly in Canada? (from drinking contaminated water?)
Me too, should we start a community for accidental criminals?
Edit to add: I accidentally shoplifted shoelaces. I put them in the breast pocket of my shirt while looking for a few other things in the store. I think I left without buying anything at all.
Sorry that it has taken me a long time to respond, I’ve been at the cabin, away from my phone.
Yeah the problem is that because of the history of discrimination we don’t have words for relatively harmless discriminatory tendencies. So if I were to say
I have racist tendencies
it sounds like I’m admitting to being a “capital R” racist, when what I mean is,
I was taught incorrect stereotypes by media as a child, and sometimes despite my best efforts to be egalitarian, these biases cause me to make bad judgements. I try to notice when this happens, to make sure I treat people fairly.
Yeah I’m not saying anyone is a jerk for having sexual interest only with feminine people with vaginas and boobs, I’m just saying that it’s kinda trans-erasure (and therefore technically transphobic) to say
I’m exclusively attracted to cis-women
Because a person doesn’t know the assigned birth sex of every woman they’ve ever been attracted to.
OurToothbrush was offended because she is a transwoman and attracts men that think they’re exclusively attracted to cis-women. She’s on the front line of transphobia, and searching for a partner puts her at a too real risk of being murdered by a transphobe.
Yeah it sounds like absolution is a relevant term. People like to think that there are only biological males and biological females and that’s that. It’s not that simple. People like to think that there are racists and non-racists and that’s that. It’s not that simple. People like to think that there are transphobes and non-transphobes and that’s that. It’s not that simple. To me, being an ally is is about supporting a community to defeat unfair discrimination. Imo supporting individuals with friendship isn’t exactly the same but it’s better than nothing.
Yeah, we know a lot about ancient Egypt, but there’s a lot we don’t know too.
