thepianistfroggollum,

I always love when a politician changes their stance on something after receiving new evidence and they get railroaded for it. Like, that’s exactly what we want to happen.

thepianistfroggollum,

The answer to any headline that’s a question is No.

thepianistfroggollum,

It also fucks over people in rural areas without high speed internet. My mom only gets 3Mbps on a good day, and definitely can’t stream anything without a ton of buffering.

thepianistfroggollum,

That’s mostly on the content owners, not Netflix. They can’t control other companies from pulling their content to foolishly set up yet another streaming service.

Canceling shows is definitely on them, though.

thepianistfroggollum,

Somehow we rescued the only Great Dane who isn’t food motivated. He’ll get super excited to get fed, then just go take a nap and eat mouthfulls throughout the day. He won’t even eat stuff on the counter unless his bowl is empty (unless it’s a fast food cheeseburger)

thepianistfroggollum,

The bystander effect is a real bitch.

thepianistfroggollum,

Having a larger sample size doesn’t necessarily decrease the margin of error. It’s impossible to say if the difference is statistically significant without crunching the numbers.

thepianistfroggollum,

It doesn’t matter, a margin of error exists regardless of the data source.

thepianistfroggollum,

I’m not sure why you think your freedom would be in jeopardy for providing CPR

thepianistfroggollum,

Dry shaving a hairy spot takes like 5 seconds. We’re not talking about whipping out a hot towel and a straight razor.

thepianistfroggollum,

We are, it’s called Good Samaritan laws.

thepianistfroggollum,

The constitution doesn’t guarantee magazine sizes.

thepianistfroggollum,

Actually a popular use for those guns is hog hunting, and you definitely want as many bullets as humanly possible when hunting hogs since they travel in packs.

My step dad shot one point blank in the face with a 9mm pistol and all it did was stun it long enough to grab a rifle.

thepianistfroggollum,

If you think restricted magazines will change that at all, you’re sorely mistaken. Especially when you can just 3D print a magazine.

thepianistfroggollum,

We’re talking magazines, not full guns. Magazines are very simple, mechanically. And a properly calibrated 3D printer has very tight tolerances.

Plus, you can buy a 3D printer for like $100 that does well enough to make one.

thepianistfroggollum,

You can get 3d printers for like $100 that are super easy to operate.

thepianistfroggollum,

Well, I don’t have a step-dad anymore, so…

thepianistfroggollum,

I have no idea why you think a resin printed magazine would shatter.

Do you know what a magazine is?

Also, I own a cheap 3D printer that would have absolutely no trouble printing a magazine

thepianistfroggollum,

Nice strawman, buddy

thepianistfroggollum,

Do you really think all violent criminals are stupid?

Plus, you do realize that the criminal doesn’t need to buy or operate a printer, right? There are hundreds of etsy shops and people on Facebook that will print whatever you want and mail it to you.

thepianistfroggollum,

I don’t own any guns.

Well, I do, but one is my grandfather’s hunting rifle and one is a shotgun for pest control/clay pigeon shooting, and both are stored at my mom’s farm.

thepianistfroggollum,

Hopefully it’s 30 full days of water boarding. Literally non-stop for 720 hours.

thepianistfroggollum,

It really just depends on the department and agent. Some are willing to go through the effort, but not all.

thepianistfroggollum,

Thank you, Ted, that was the joke.

thepianistfroggollum,

I bet I can guess who’s #11

thepianistfroggollum,

In Texas our leadership straight up said that. But surprisingly the US is 5th. Sweden must be literal hell for the elderly.

thepianistfroggollum,

I mean, at some point a treatment for the disabled has to be tested on the disabled.

There’s a lot wrong with Musk, but testing a medical device on the target patients is hardly unethical.

thepianistfroggollum,

I’m not saying their methods aren’t flawed, just that testing a medical device on the targeted users is not at all unethical and is a requirement for approval.

thepianistfroggollum,

It’s already happened. Someone made an AI generated porn of some influencer and it was a big deal for a few minutes.

thepianistfroggollum,

You’re wrong about the soil nutrient content in deserts. Or at least it’s not a blanket statement like that since some deserts are essential in providing soil nutrients to other parts of the world through wind.

thepianistfroggollum,

I hope the IRS actually goes after him.

thepianistfroggollum,

Do you seriously believe it isn’t? Time to wake up.

thepianistfroggollum,

Mine got angry at me for taking my picture, but she was talking about her dead dad at the time. (I didn’t say a word, just pulled out my camera and snapped the picture).

For context, they were astranged and she was relieved he died.

thepianistfroggollum,

Where did I say anything about a selfie?

thepianistfroggollum,

I feel bad for The Onion. Reality is so insane it must be hard to come up with stuff to beat it.

Like, this could have been a CNN article and I wouldn’t have thought twice about it.

thepianistfroggollum,

Having smart devices isn’t dumb, but you have to implement them properly.

It’s dumb to hand control of your smart home over to a 3rd party, though.

thepianistfroggollum,

Shameless plug for Home Assistant, here. Everything is controlled locally (unless you pay for their internet pass through service which is basically just a relay), most brands of smart devices are supported, you have extreme customization capabilities, and it’s all open source.

Plus, it can run on pretty much anything.

thepianistfroggollum,

Their first mistake was forgetting the 0th Law of Robotics.

thepianistfroggollum,

I mean, there basically is, but it’s usually just factored it into something like gas taxes instead of having a specific line item for it. Since EVs don’t pay that tax, there needs to be a separate one somewhere.

thepianistfroggollum,

Now I’m wondering if Ford just sells bare bones F-450s, or if there’s just piles of F-450 chassis out there.

thepianistfroggollum,

It’s more likely because the client didn’t specify a different dispo code, either because they forgot or because they don’t care enough to make things that granular. If the client doesn’t ask for it, it doesn’t get included.

Or, the more likely option, the agent just chose the wrong option.

Source: Designing these systems for call centers was my job for a few years.

thepianistfroggollum,

It’s more likely that the agent chose the wrong option.

thepianistfroggollum,

It would be super simple to code. Basically just a nested for loop that moves the motor a few steps then presses a button a few hundred times.

thepianistfroggollum,

Yup, I have a few folders of classical music on an old hard drive that I can’t delete in Windows because the name is too long. I just haven’t bothered connecting them to Linux yet.

thepianistfroggollum,

I feel like it’s a good idea to do a clean install every once in a while regardless of your OS. Shit gets cluttered, you have programs installed you’ll never use again, etc.

The trick is to keep a setup script maintained so the reinstall is painless.

And I’m not sure where you’re getting your info that installing or licensing Windows is a hassle. It’s much easier to do a clean install of Windows than it is for Linux, and the installer pretty much requires no configuration.

thepianistfroggollum, (edited )

Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I use both systems on a daily basis, and I’m far more likely to have to do a clean install of Linux when shit breaks than with Windows. And like you said, the Windows installer requires virtually no configuration outside of selecting the drive you want to install on.

Once you run a simple powershell script to remove the garbage, Windows is a pretty solid OS.

thepianistfroggollum,

2000ME would like to have a word with you.

thepianistfroggollum,

I did a clean install of Windows last week. It took 20 minutes start to finish, including reinstalling all my software manually.

To do a clean install of Windows you just have to click the mouse a few times. To do a clean install of Linux you have to do things no average user is reasonably going to do.

If you’re going to argue the superiority of an operating system, you should at least know what you’re talking about instead of parroting ‘hur dur windows bad.’
