Did Elon Musk shoot her while on a K binge?

Thanks for that. No apology necessary - that was rather hilarious.

Been a while since I was in a lab (I was mainly concerned with squishy, squidgy things like microbes, so not quite OChem either) but, this looks accurate to me with a minor bit of pedantry that I had to validate before mentioning. BPA is not actually a plasticizer but a monomer/co-monomer (it does frequently get incorrectly labeled as a plasticizer in retail products). Notably in polycarbonate, which is something like 90% BPA by mass.

A big issue with is the incomplete reaction of monomers, leading to things like room-temp leeching of unreacted BPA in polycarbonate (so glad that I took a Nalgene with me everywhere for years when I was younger /s).

I think some French (?) guy managed to get a hold of some that didn’t have warheads and took apart the guidance systems on YouTube.

For my purposes (note taking in college), it absolutely lived up to the hype. No x86 laptop that I could find at the time came close to its battery life.

Oh, absolutely. The thing that is weird is being non-x86 hardware and explicitly implementing the translation layer in hardware that has minimal field configurability (they did have the capability of loading something similar to microcode). It makes sense in some ways (performance being a big one) but, seems like it would be vulnerable to potential changes in the external ISA.

Possibly but the CPU was pretty crazy. It used “code morphing” to translate x86 instructions to its internal ISA, something that just seems a bit ridiculous to do at the hardware level.

Fujitsu Lifebook P-2046. It was semi-rugged with a magnesium alloy chassis but, the real awesome bit was the Transmeta Crusoe processor. It was super power efficient (~15hr between charges with the extended battery) and performed decently. The thing was really ahead of its time.

Nah. If they’re willing to overlook how anti-leftist Russia is, the rest of their work is suspect.

Everyone deserves to feel safe. Except for Nazis, slavers, and the like.

If killing civilians and starting a war makes you euphoric, you’re not a good human being.

There are those of us who will never see the protest (non-)voters as allies again due to their willingness to ignore the basic math of the election and enable fascists to win to “prove a point”. They are a step away from collaborators and hold part of the responsibility for every person who has been kidnapped by ICE, the end of a possibility of a free Palestine, every murdered protestor, every trans youth who commits suicide because they are denied care, every child that dies from measles.

Performative bullshit driven by the desire to feel moral superiority while helping get a fascist elected and undoing a century of civil and societal progress doesn’t make one an ally. It makes them useful idiots to the far-right and betrayers of people in vulnerable populations, everyone whose life is ruined by global warming.

I might forgive this who take responsibility and try to lend a hand in the multi-generation effort to try repairing the damage that has been in under 200 days (protest voters have fucked over GenX through Alpha, at the very least). But, as long as I live, I’ll not forget, nor will I allow them or anyone else to do so, lest someone make the mistake of thinking that they would stand up for anyone in any effective manner capable of positive change.

The US certainly doesn’t honour its agreements anymore.

Native Americans: “Anymore?..”

No. Capitalists use technology to further their goals. Technology has no agency, makes no decisions, and is not a philosophy. It is literally just knowledge. Capitalism and human bad actors are literally the problem as they have been for all of recorded history. This is also seen in other primate species like baboons who are able to live relatively peaceful and low-stress lives when they organize in cooperative, pro-social troops.

Nah. Johnny respected consent.

Destroying substantial strategic military capacity in a country with explicitly anti-LGBTQ+ laws is an unexpected way of starting Pride Month.

Protest non-voter apologia, excuses, and mental gymnastics

Some day, maybe, they’ll take responsibility for their own actions. Today is not that day.

You forgot this: /s

My hypothesis is that it was intentional because they thought it would make it look like they were badasses, instead of the absolute shed of toolboxes that they are.

Right-wingers never agree to annual payouts except for the rich. It’s absolutely a one time thing.
