I think the other thing that people need to remember is that when online on platforms like Lemmy, Twitter, etc, you aren’t just having a one on one conversation. There are other people reading the exchange. People who would otherwise be allies, can still be alienated, even without anyone directly saying anything to them.

Also, there seems to be far too many people who are willing to let perfect be the enemy of good. If your opinions don’t exactly match theirs, you are indoctrinated, evil, stupid, malicious, etc.

All you have to do is come up with a new name for it. It’s not like any of them have a clue about what socialism actually entails.

If I were more conspiracy-minded, I’d say they were purposely being counterproductive and driving away the only people who could conceivably be converted to their cause.

In reality, some people are just assholes.

“Elites” is about as useless a word as “woke” or “terrorist”; depending on who you ask, you will get wildly different (and often mutually exclusive) answers on what it means.

To most people, it also implies wireless backhaul.

I think it’s more accurate to say that things become fire.

Most of the “what if” scenarios that I’ve come across focus on what if the Nazis hadn’t attacked the USSR when they did. If Germany was fighting on one front at a time, the question becomes does Germany take the UK, and if so, does the US directly enter the war at all?

“It works. What more do you want?”

Why is it that whenever something is spitting out junk data, those specific characters are involved?

World’s best swap drive.

I have a lot of questions for whoever set that up in the first place, first and foremost of which is: why in the everlasting fuck was that computer ever attached to the internet? At most it should be allowed internal network access only.

Which conversions? Most metric conversions are drastically simpler than their imperial counterparts.

Post economic system

I’m not even sure what this would mean. Are you talking about everyone having a replicator and no one trades goods and services anymore? An “economic system” is just the umbrella term for whatever method people use to exchange goods and services.

Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don’t feel like paying? If you can’t answer “yes” to all these questions, you aren’t the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.

I was thinking about desktops, where the fan would be physically plugged into a fan controller instead of into the motherboard. Not sure what that would look like with a laptop.

I was mainly asking because some of those fan controllers default to full on when the usb connection is absent, and Windows doesn’t enable all usb connections until after the user logs into the system.

Do you have your fans controlled by the bios or a fan controller?

Not sure if Fusion360 supports Linux. Only other choice I can think of is FreeCAD.

I guess part of my different perspective is that 99% of my flight travels are for work, and I’m paid by the hour, even on days when I’m doing nothing but traveling.

Man, I hate traveling carry-on only (unless it’s a short enough trip that the required change of clothes can fit in a backpack). I’ll pay the $50 or whatever it is to not have to worry about needing to cram all my stuff up into the overheads.

Are we using “dudes” in the non-gendered sense? Because I’ve noticed this type of behavior with women far more often than with men.
