Hey it’s me, your cousin…

Oh, so with that logic you believe the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea is a democratic republic.

I guess you’ve also never heard of the English idiom “don’t judge a book by its cover”.

The amount of people that don’t know there’s no ‘h’ in Nicolas Cage is too god damn high.

silicone

It’s silicon. Silicon is a naturally occurring chemical element, whereas silicone is a synthetic substance.

Silicon is for computer chips, silicone is for boobies.

Last sentence, second paragraph:

Anyone with a card can bring up to two guests to the club during each visit, the company stipulates.

Just because you have a firearm doesn’t make you part of the “gun people” generalization.

Do you fantasize about getting to shoot your gun? Have you tied your identity to your arsenal of guns? Do you feel the need to open carry at the grocery store? Do you open fire on cars in your driveway?

No? Then you’re not in the “gun people” group being talked about. People who own guns are not the same as the “gun people”, or “gun nuts”/“ammosexuals”.

Imagine being so immature you can’t mention someone without calling them a petty name, even when they do something good.

This is giving me PTSD flashbacks from Number Theory at uni. What a fascinating mindfuck.

sigh

While I agree with your strategy, I also have enough awareness that this strategy doesn’t work for everyone.

If someone needs a bed to sleep, but they only have enough for a cheap bed, they buy the cheap bed and hope that when it wears out they can buy a better, higher quality one. They don’t forgo a bed and have worse health, they get what they can to get by.

Go tell the single mother of four that she bought a garbage table so her kids have a place to eat and she should’ve bought the quality table that costs two months of her rent, because it lasts longer.

Yes, in the end they spend more, but in the present, that’s what their circumstances can afford them.

Not everyone has the luxury to spend thousands on furniture at one time like you do apparently.

People also need things now, not later.

nothing requiring that amount of power

My simulators, Pimax, and three 4k 144hz monitors beg to differ.

While I love the thought, I’m not going to hold my breath on replacing my 880 TB of spinning platters with SSDs.

Precisely. It’s textbook GOP “fuck you, I got mine” behavior and he should absolutely be shamed with it, if that degenerate had the capacity to feel shame.

If those are the choices, it doesn’t matter who “wins”, we all lose.

Oh really, I think you and my Debian server with >10 years of uptime should have a conversation.

Nice! What year?

I used to have an ‘03 V70R. I could fit all my band gear in it at the time: amp, 4x12, several guitars, an 88 key piano, two 61 key synths, keyboard stands, AND my singer in the front seat!

Not tiny at all!

No, you claimed:

Production of batteries, handling discarded batteries, breaking of minerals FOR the batteries, and producing the electricity have all been shown to be worse for the environment than than the entire life of a traditional car

Furthermore, when asked about a source for these claims, you come out swinging with the ever popular “no, you” defense.

Again, link your sources (MIT study) please.

Why wait? Carpe Linux.

I actually have a similar model for testing audio tubes. I have several 100 watt amplifier heads for my guitars and a few more home built amps for both guitar and listening audio. I even have several tube preamps I’ve designed with one or two tubes.

Such a cool era of technology to me.

Way of the road.

The point where I was using my master’s in computer engineering to design physical chips? You know, using my fundamental understanding of electricity, magnetism, and the physics that come along with it.

TL;DR:

“Stop advocating for things you care about, it’ll never happen. Fuck your passions and your want to share them with people.”

That’s how you sound.

nervously glances at my gentoo daily driver and three gentoo servers

I built a split ergonomic keyboard with a trackball on it so I never have to leave.

If that’s what they want, they can come suck the pure stuff right out of the source.

A toad a so

Fuck yeah! Go science!

I was sarcastically quoting that comment, but I think using a red herring severely weakens their statement and is quite childish.

Or have the Mexican military give me carte blanche at their inventory.

Tight butthole.

There are some lovely tools that allow kernel updates sans reboot.

Coincidentally, in addition to having a BS in EE and an MS in CompE, I was a senior engineer working on battery control systems for three seasons with a Formula E team in my previous job.

At no point did I ever even hint to being an engineer, my man

and

If you aren't an engineer working with ev batteries or othe rechargeablebatteries, your opinion has no weight.

You’re right, I’m not stupid which is precisely why I haven’t “chimed in” on your unqualified opinions.

“Gun people” != “all gun owners”

They didn’t say “all gun owners” they said “gun people” which to anyone with awareness can infer it means the people who tie their identity to their weapons.

What a shitty analogy to women, I’m not even going to touch that.

Would it have been clearer if the original comment said “irresponsible gun people”, sure, but it wasn’t and self-centered people want to be the victim when they haven’t understood they aren’t even in the group.

I’m Dutch and even I could glean the intended meaning from the context.
