Great explanation, but unfortunately the post in the image OC missed the absolute best part, the parody article.

I mean, okay, technically you’re not wrong; but it would affect his performance in what all involved seem to expect will be a closely contested election… So it could (and likely would) literally be the end of the Biden Administration.

The article keeps referring to Jan 6, 2001. But you’re right again, nobody cared.

So much this. If we aren’t going to restrict possession of firearms in any way then we can’t use that as a basis for intent. Just replace, “had a gun”, with literally any other constitutionally protected right and this argument falls flat on its face.

“He was using words, we will never know if he was about to run into a theater and yell ‘fire’…”

I wish he would make more. My absolute favorite moment in that show:

Star Child: How do hard drives work? It’s crystals, right?

Computer Guy: Uh, well, no, it’s… 😑 Yes, it’s crystals.

Star Child: I thought so.

Lol, unexpected intensity. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

It’s military standards and boot camp. It has literally nothing to do with perception. Look at drill for a fraction of a second while standing at attention and he will berate you endlessly for trying to suck him off with your eyes. Your bootlace is dragging because you’re dumb. You’re tired because you’re weak. And you are the fattest motherfucker in this universe because you stood in front of the cake in the chow line for too long. It’s not about perception. It’s just basic. Even in active duty today, he would still be considered overweight, and even if he passed the PT test it wouldn’t protect him from getting chaptered out for fitness.

6’ 5", 200#, according to the Army, I was overweight by 15 lbs. I ran A group most mornings in PT (fastest, farthest runners), ran low 6 min miles, maxed situps and still had to wait 40 seconds for the test to end. Pushups were always low but fuck off, soy alto. I started lifting, gained 50 lbs, and my neck grew to 19"+ and all of the sudden I was “fit”, even though I couldn’t run A group anymore, couldn’t break 7 min miles, and barely finished the situps in time. No improvement on pushups so don’t stop fucking off. It’s just military standards. It has literally nothing to do with perception. And people were fat before the 80s, JTFC did I just have to say that? Sure, there are more today, but it’s not like Pvt Pyle was broadly considered obese by civilians at the time. The people ITT… 🙄

No, it was exactly that. When my neck taped in over 19, it was the first time I had ever not been on PT watch. I had to do higher frequency PT testing. It was dumb.

How bout this? Sync doesn’t support subscript so I’m not sure how this looks.

Opened in browser, superscript looks better, still jacked in sync tho.

ZMonster, 3 months ago

Yeah, that’s what it did on sync. But it looks legit in FF.

US military really needs better mental health services.

FTF- wait…

US military really needs better mental health services.

Got it. Covering all my bases.

Is it unheard of for a bakery to establish arbitration agreements to avoid this exact situation? From my understanding, courts are reticent to insert themselves in arbitration unless the agreements made were invalid. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

12 yo’s, probably.

Maybe so, but you’ve lost energy to making that heat, now you’re spending more energy to remove it. Ergo, efficiency.

ZMonster, 3 months ago

I haven’t seen a single device (other than a two way handset) that uses that sort of function. You would have to slot your phone into a giant plastic base and I just don’t know why anyone would want that. Anything but that and the charge pins would be exposed and thusly a fire hazard. Spring loaded pins are a dinosaur in today’s tech market and no one, let alone a company that is trying to reduce waste, would use such an outdated and niche system.

ZMonster, 3 months ago

Honestly, in the best of circumstances, it would be closer to only 20 W getting to the phone by today’s standards.

ZMonster, 3 months ago

But it may not be the scientific term of efficiency

Otherwise known as, “efficiency”

ZMonster, 3 months ago

Oh lol, I’m dumb. Thanks for explaining.

ZMonster, 3 months ago

Not when it’s explicitly defined.

And did you just call a 70% efficient device (staggeringly low by engineering practices in even the 60s) a negligible amount of power? Do you have even the remotest inkling of just how many billions of these chips are produced annually? Assuming only 0.1% will go in phones with wireless charging and that they will only be used for that year, we are talking about an enormous quantity of energy that is wasted. It would be enough energy to push the earth into the sun.

You’re being very dismissive about something you obviously have no real experience in, and there would be nothing wrong with not knowing something if you weren’t making claims simultaneously. Efficiency is a well known, inarguably defined, rigorously studied, timelessly practiced, design concept that the CEO has an obvious working knowledge of. There is no “alternative truth” that is being ignored here, only ones that should be.

No hate. Just annoyed. But you’d probably be annoyed too if I insisted on my uninformed opinions about selling herbalife.

I think you missed the reference. They weren’t referring to children as a lack of familiarity with OS functions, they were referring to children as an ignorance of programs you should ever or never install. If you have mcfee on your computer, TODAY, you should just set your computer out on the curb and never touch an electronic device again.

Did I slide to a dimension where trump hasn’t spent most of his adult life in business with Russian oligarchs? Is your response to hearing Pelosi’s lucid musings anything other than “no titty fucking shit Sherlock”? Did trump seriously not have a giant money laundering casino for Russians named the Taj Mahal here???

I am going to enjoy this reality. 😊 Checks Wikipedia 🙄 Oh, nvm. I forgot that I already live in the dimension where a preponderance of evidence isn’t enough to establish a preponderance of evidence. My bad.

It’s the closest to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic they’ve ever been. But I’m sure they’ll outdo themselves tomorrow.

Thanks for this. I knew some of this but for some reason just adopted the “Rittenhouse bad” brain worm. Maybe it was things like how quickly he fell into the arms of the alt-right crowd and seemed to be fine embracing them. Who knows. But thanks for the refresher. I think I needed that.
