This feels like an attempt to destroy open source projects. Overwhelm developers with crap PRs so they can’t fix real issues.

It won’t work long term, because I can’t imagine anyone staying on GitHub after it gets bad.

Computer Engineer here, studied QED and E&M.

This is the most accurate answer

Wait hold on

Wouldn’t that mean that lenders have a vested interest in keeping borrowers alive especially if they have extreme net debt?

What’s crazy is that some of the people I talk to, I expected to say something like “yeah, but he didn’t get a trial.”

It’s been “yeah, he’s been on trial for 3 years at UHC, and 20 before that. And he was declared guilty.”

I imagine the children with these things are emotionally disregulated in some way shape or form. A small group of children sometimes don’t learn to self soothe when they are very young, others in ASD struggle with it for a lifetime. Some with ADHD have a very difficult time when their medicine wears off and their emotions kick back in to overdrive.

For all those groups I mentioned, the whole concept of this thing was almost brilliant. Something that they can go to knowing it will be able to help them guide through emotions while mom and dad are doing something necessary like cooking or fixing something outside, or in the bathroom.

If you haven’t had to deal with a child that has emotional regulation problems, then it is hard to explain the difficulty that the failure of this device will make. It is true that they will adapt it, they always do, that’s how things work. The problem is that the emotional disregulation leads to broken things at home, aggressive behaviors with peers, getting kicked out of preschool and day care, etc.

It truly is a nightmare scenario. The parents have to prepare for all of these things and a new way to help their child through the limited existing means.

AAAARROOOOOOO!

Man those parents. Oof.

I do not wanna be in their shoes.

Telling your kid that needed an emotional support robot friend that the robot friend is going to take a nap for a long time and might not wake back up? Ooo boy.

Helping a kid through a divorce is hard enough. This seems like a terrifying nightmare.

The only thing I can see this affecting is the Secure-boot requirement.

Which is very odd to consider that anything compatibility related would likely have nothing to do with secure boot, and everything to do with Windows being Windows.

No, it’s not.

The US Dollar is a fiat currency. The value is merely what the market dictates amongst trading frequency and how much debt is held in it.

It’s backed by nothing. A dollar has a made up value. In the1970s Nixon ended the US gold Standard, and those with property, not the government who held the gold, got to dictate it. Same thing through today.

Wait what?

No, dictators fucking love central banks and fiat currency.

They like it even better than anything, because a dictator almost always controls the central bank. Plus, the dictator and his buddies almost always own everything, and when you own property you need fiat currency to stay in power. Fiat currency inevitably leads to hyperinflation. With hyperinflation, you get way wealthier owning property than having cash. At that point they don’t need the central bank that they control.

I don’t particularly like the comparison because I really enjoyed his performance as Paul

But you can’t argue with results

To be fair

He did get the steam deck made, so that was kinda cool.

But maybe owning 6 yachts is a little less cool.

Unless the sub and boats were like research vessels he funds, that would be cool

But they aren’t.

Why can’t billionaires dump their money into funding scientific research? It’s not like there aren’t scientists out there with plenty of research to be done.

Or even maybe wherever he lives, he could like, fund the entire county school districts for the rest of existence and no one would have to worry about taxes.

Or maybe regularly cancel the medical debt of Valve employees and their families.

Like how fucking hard is it to redistribute your own wealth?

Like fucking Christ, that’s the part I don’t understand. They complain about taxes and shit at the top, but they do absolutely fuck all to make things better for large swaths of people. Or if they do, it’s after they die and $200m gets donated to a university and it prevents next year’s tuition from increasing.

Everything I got offers for were weapons platforms, fire control systems, or guidance.

The exact same time I was going through these a cruise missile in Yemen hit a school bus full of kids - obviously one American made sold to the Saudis.

My kid wasn’t in school yet, but I looked at him, shook my head and said nope. Can’t do it. Won’t do it. Turns out I do value things other than fun projects and money, and by a huge margin.

And it’s open source!

I just want to say I haven’t seen “merc’d” used quite so eloquently before, well done.

And they will somehow think that they escape unscathed.

Dude

I love it.

You know what’s pretty neat about this?

It’s not mob justice. Mob justice is when people get together and come up with bad ideas. This is an individual that the public has now rallied around.

While we only see comments from a select few number of people in this country (relative to it’s size of 350m) it seems that democracy is voicing itself. I know a lot of people who were initially shocked, but then quickly came to the conclusion that FAFO is a real thing.

And health insurance companies have done a lot of fucking around.

Something with diphenhydramine or doxylamine? They aren’t great to take for very long at all.

But if you notice a dependency, I don’t recommend the RX sleep meds I’ve been on for so long. One was effective for a very long time (15 years? Lunesta I think) but has gotten weaker and weaker. I’m terrified of stopping it though, its a nonbenzodiazapine so it binds to the same stuff as benzos. Taking something so long like that is bound to cause problems when I stop.

I’ve heard therapy helps. But I’m not sure how. Hasn’t done much for me.

Hmmm.

I got the magnesium supplement, but I didn’t know about zinc oxide and I didn’t know they were hard to absorb.

I better look up what foods those guys are in, make it a little snack before bed instead
