markr,

Look at it this way: industrialized warfare required capitalism.

markr,

We actually experience reality a fraction of a second in the past.

markr,

Cops have always had a habit of killing the homeless. Also they have a habit of killing the homed. Thanks to qualified immunity in the USA, a cop just has to feel threatened, not actually be threatened, to justify the use of deadly force.

Alabama says it’s tough on drug crime. It just perpetuates it. (www.al.com)

Alabama suffers crime because of drugs, it punishes people because of drugs, it builds billion dollar prisons and signs billion dollar prison healthcare deals because its justice system is overrun by the consequences of drugs. It forces people to spend lifetimes in prison because of drugs, it uses the presence of drugs as an...

markr,

I don’t disagree, it ‘ought to’, but my point is simply that even if it doesn’t the benefits of legalization to both the addicted community and society in general are more than enough to justify legalization.

markr,

Addiction might go down, it might go up, but crime will definitely go down, and accidental overdose deaths will basically be eliminated.

markr,

It’s our version of China’s social credit score.

markr,

Police forces are the the primary Ideological State Apparatus of Repression. They do not exist to protect the public from crime, they exist to protect the property rights of the owners of the means of production. Keeping the proles in a state of fear is them just doing their job.

markr,

1.5 is so 2020. The new limit is 2.0.

Ohio is poised to become the 2nd state to restrict gender-affirming care for adults (apnews.com)

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced proposals this month that transgender advocates say could block access to gender-affirming care provided by independent clinics and general practitioners, leaving thousands of adults scrambling for treatment and facing health risks....

markr,

Shocking just about nobody, this bullshit went from ‘but the children!!!’ to full anti-trans authoritarianism. What’s up next you nazi fucks?

markr,

Yeah when I saw the pictures with all the white 3s, I guessed they were hertz rentals used by ride share drivers (because hertz is renting them at really low rates) who either don’t know much about their cars or deliberately run them down to near zero to max their fares.

markr,

Yeah, which made them just fabulous for our favorite use for them at the time: driving around drinking. Pack that bug full of teen agers smoking and drinking and freezing and basically getting CO poisoning until somebody got sick and we all had to do an emergency exit drill.

markr,

The 60s era vws were notorious for never managing to produce any cabin heat.

markr,

Vast amounts of public funds will be used to both mitigate the damage caused by and protect the continued profitability of the fossil fuel industry.

markr,

The F150 EV is not exactly a success.

markr,

3,878 fuglytruks is the apparently the entire fleet. That is the really big story here. The fuglytruk is a flop. Nobody wants an 80k rust bucket.

markr,

Critical that it is tied to inflation. Otherwise the system will just rebalance via price to protect profits. That has to be stopped. They have to give all of us a larger share.

markr,

Barazata Encore. It’s a bit expensive but lasts and works quite well.

markr,

Capitalism and neoliberal globalization is great as long as your capitalist organizations are dominating the system. But that inevitably results in the emergence of other competitive capitalist organizations. Then it’s back to trade barriers, and when that fails, military conflict.

markr,

For good reasons. Besides being a huge ongoing expense, they frequently end up amplifying the erosion, and would almost certainly degrade the public beaches adjacent to these houses.

markr,

" local citizens came together to take the necessary steps to protect their homes." - the steps they took were obviously not the necessary steps, instead they were unnecessary and in fact idiotic.

The Town of Salisbury did not ‘grapple with sea rise’. An ad hoc association, Salisbury Beach Citizens for Change, basically the owners of multi-million dollar absurdly situated beach front homes, blew 500,000 dollars on one wall of a giant sand castle.

markr,

Except of course anyone can manufacture and sell plug compatible pipes.

markr,

I started out in the computer industry working for a company that reverse engineered and built IBM compatible terminal systems, This was more than 40 years ago, when that was its own large and profitable sector of the computer hardware market. It was absolutely legal to build ‘plug compatible’ reverse engineered third party systems. DRM is almost entirely horseshit that has helped turn the entire tech industry into silo’d enshittified monopolies.

markr,

Containers are very lightweight. I have no desire to build anything so I always just add another service container to my existing stacks.

markr,

You can list all the current loaded drivers. You can examine the system event log for service start operations. You can run with a kernel debugger attached and examine any loaded driver. The driver itself is likely correctly signed and will not require additional user acknowledgement beyond what was given when the game was installed.

markr,

They’ve changed to rules a lot in this area. QB sackings used to be gladiatorial events. I think Rogers probably experienced at least some of the bad old days.
