Hi Karim, no question I just wanted to say that your performance in episode 4 honestly made it some of the best Star Trek I’ve ever seen.

Until all outside spaces are owned by someone selling the next distraction like VR wank pods, just hanging around in public spaces not spending money is made a crime, then hanging around outside just becomes straight up dangerous due to pollution, weather swinging wildly between biting winds, freezing rain, and scorching heat.

So the mechanic of this game is you have to collect jewels for a royal whilst they struggle to escape from the hordes of “rocks” blocking their exit for some reason?

I’m starting to think that this game is from the royal’s perspective and the “rocks” aren’t to be taken literally.

Also I don’t see how the neoliberals can’t see that within a few years of implementation, productivity would jump massively as more people would be able to participate in the economy and therefore generate so much more value.

I should stress, that shouldn’t be the reason for implementation, you know the usual ones about why decent healthcare should be available for free/at subsidiesed cost (depending on which style of universal healthcare implemented): it’s the morally right thing to do under the hypocratic oath, every other developed country does this, etc.

But it’s a cold economic reason that makes sense.

Please tell me she pulls out an index card for said citation like a main character from Yu-Gi-Oh.

It’s how I talk to everyone when I’m not masking or following social scripts. It’s the most fun I get out of social interactions.

I’ve already adopted the transparent frame: nothing to hide, only my undivided attention if they’d like to geek out about their special interests or just want someone to listen.

Not so much a hero but I admired his work the projects he is associated with: Elon regarding Tesla & Space X.

I had heard that he was a bit of a nightmare to work with but I just chalked that up to the usual tech CEO being a bit of an arsehole but still delivering the vision. So admired the projects but wouldn’t personally work for him.

The first time I came across something that gave me the impression something was off with him was when he called one of the Thai cave divers a pedo after the diver rejected using an unproven single person extraction canister Elon proposed.

It was just so uncalled for. Then the more I read and saw stories about him my opinion of him wained further down to a spoilt nepo-baby cosplaying as a design engineer who’d do best to get out of the way of the actual engineers trying to do the work.

Now I think the world would be better off without him and I hope the talented engineers currently work for him leave to find fulfilling employment elsewhere in the space and electrification industries as soon as possible.

Is it from Dasani Peckham Springs?

Technically they haven’t paid for the feature yet, it just so happens that it’s cheaper to manufacture without having a second line of non-heated seats which makes me think “why not just include heated seats (and enabled) as standard?”

Edit: Why am I being downvoted? I’m only pointing out that if BMW wanted to have a heated/non-heated seat options it costs more to set up and operate a separate manufacturing line to support both options. That’s just a fact of running production lines.

Furthermore I’m questioning their business logic here with going with the subscription model because, as shown in the thread here, it only generates negative press, so why even bother with the subscription model and just have heated seats as standard. No subscription model for hardware BS needed, it makes the brand look more luxurious, and it’d be a great selling point in the dealerships to say “all these bad bois come with heated seats as standard”.

They can just adjust the baseline cost to include the heated seats if they need to preserve that margin.

Could be worse, if they rolled out an AI to Rochdale it’d turn more racist than Grok faster than Tay did.

It’s also useful to think of the “ground” plane as a sort of well of potential charger carriers that the conventional current model overlooks. Aside from simultaneously visualising what’s happening inside simple ICs like BJTs / MOSFETs and the circuit diagrams I’ve found it a useful way for checking for common mode noise in circuit and PCB design.

I guess this makes me a lunatic? Don’t know until we test it;

Someone give me an asylum makerspace to takeover!

They have the national railway museum there too, and once a year there’s Yorvik, a Viking festival. York’s a cool place.

That’s not even remotely an equivalent scenario, unless it’s you that view romantic partners on the same level as objects to be worn?

You ok there mate?

Pilot: Mate I sure love these supersonic transatlantic flights, getting paid for two legs in one day, and I’m we’re the fastest commercial pilots in the sky right now. This is a sweet job.

Copilot: Sure is captain, sure is… Hey flight, how are you doing back there?

Flight Engineer: All g-good mate (frantically checking guages and screaming internally in engineer)

Please can someone explain why “It is what it is” is also written on the car. Is there some additional meaning behind the use of that saying?

Hence why he argued that capitalism will only work within a moral framework or else it’ll descend back into oligarchy.

Low and behold, we’re there again.
