Well in that case it WAS built with multiple safety mechanisms and failsafes, and it was deliberate human actions that caused the catastrophy.
So escalators are a good example, human greed is the bad example.

Republicans?

Oh no, constitutional rights are merely suggestions to the supreme court at this point in time, I wouldnt trust words on paper to save you in these times.

I have heard whispers in the wind that software like Autocad will transition to web based apllications, they say “oh you wont need a big beefy PC with good graphics card and lots of ram, just a simple workstation” and all i hear is “do all your designs on our servers and in return for saving money on hardware we will retain the software at all times, train AI on your IP and onsell your designs/concepts/engineering as we see fit.”

I just wanted to finish watching this season of Genocide in Gaza before switching to Hulu to start Iranian Oil Tankers

With a knife? Cut a 1 inch slit across the belly, put two fingers from each hand in the cut and pull apart quickly.

Without a knife? The same but use your teeth to make the initial cut.

No alternative? How about they start regulating the companies who are writing the algorithms.
They dont just hurt kids, they are detrimental to adults too, why allow the harmful companies to keep the status quo.
This has always been more about increasing policing of the internet and slowly de-anonomising anyone who is online.

environmentally sustainable

And then they decide to use AI to generate new designs… Do they know how AI runs?

Damn, me and my friends are so poor we all have to share the one timezone

And what, we get the one universe he writes without a cool magic system?

“Dont use your phone while driving, its super distracting and you can kill people while not paying attention!”

Also: “change your AC fan and temp settings by clicking on this app, popping open the menu, then touching these precise button areas on the screen”

No, thats just a non-american opinion.

I think its derived from the line-graph you look at where the stock price increases (value over time) and instead of the usual zig-zag up and down, as it skyrockets in value the trend line starts shooting up (towards the sky) as if its on a trajectory to hit the moon.

At least thats my understanding of the origin.

Fantastic, thank you!

A blind spot i know i have is that i grew up without social media and the internet as it exists now, when i was a teen the internet was a place to spend some time playing goofy games on newgrounds or neopets, maybe downloading some movies or music from Limewire or Kazaaar.
I have no idea how i would have gone growing up with this insidiously tailored and hyper addictive environment, honestly it feels like giving every kid their first hit of heroin in high school and sending them on their way.

So i get why kids might be both ‘thank you’ and ‘fuck you’ in equal measure, but just like heroin there will be plenty that never recover, and it all could just be resolved by reigning in the social media companies.

I have so many questions…
What happens when they get waterlogged from rain, mouldy and warped?
Did they ever have issues with termites?
What is the black abyss below him, is he on a stack of wood that is casting a shadow or has the ground texture.png not loaded in correctly?
Being the early 1900’s, did workers smoking while stacking wood regularly cause fires?

I think you may be gettting US information interference, our 240VAC grid is well enough to charge even from a standard 10A GPO (standard socket outlet in your house).
Things are a little different in the USA where the grid is 120VAC and they would be getting literally half the speed we do, and then they would want a larger outlet connection or hardwired dedicated charger which can deliver T2 charging speeds.

Now? Only now?
