Pro tip: Modern battery powered vacuums are lightweight and easy to carry and use. As someone with both a battery powered “manual” vacuum and a robot vacuum (an old one that relies on infrared beacons and has no app integration/smart features), I find that it’s usually more annoying to prep the floor for robot vacuuming (find and remove cables and anything that can jam it, remove temporary things strewn around so it can get to the areas under them, move furniture so it doesn’t get stuck, roll up fluffy rugs that it can get caught on, etc, and then having the anxiety that you missed something so you end up following it around anyway) than just vacuuming myself and moving stuff as I go. It’s one of the things that seem convenient until you actually take a step back and assess whether the problems it creates actually outweighs the problems it solves. Also, I don’t know if the modern ones are better at navigation but mine just rolls around like a pinball and it takes significantly longer for it to cover all the areas than if I did it, and it can end up never actually covering some areas because, again, it just rolls around basically randomly.

Wasn’t that what got them into that fight with the Gorn?

If the electoral system only lets you choose leaders who don’t align with the majority, it’s not a democracy. It’s a dictatorship with extra steps.

When there is an established pattern of malice, vehemently attributing everything to stupidity is stupid.

He’s also aggressively liberal. Watching him discuss politics (which he loves to shoehorn into math/physics videos) as someone significantly left of liberalism is infuriating.

Could just be common American idiots, could be intentional bait to justify a full military invasion of Cuba.

Mom told me to pause it /s

Isn’t “globalists” an antisemitic dog whistle for Jews?

If so, then no. Leftists don’t hate Jews.

Humans can barely write safe C code, so I definitely don’t trust AI to. I’m not even blanket against AI assistance in programming, but there are way too many hidden landmines in C for an LLM to be reliable with.

No the true nerds know full well this is bullshit. Nerds need to bully wannabe fake nerds trying to use the nerd name to peddle their snake oil.

It been interesting to see white people in Canada afraid of being colonized while vehemently downplaying the Indigenous people’s grievances as “why can’t they just accept the culture they’ve been given?” So close to self awareness but will never get there.

Seriously, when Indigenous groups pushed back on Carney’s “elbows up” nation building projects, I saw so many comments from internet geniuses along the lines of “they’re trying to treat this like their inter-tribal relations where they demand soverignty and veto power on anything that goes on in their territory at any point in the process, unfortunately that’s not how Western investment and development work.” Yeah, it really is fucking unfortunate that we’re still denying them their culture and ways of doing things.

Wouldn’t call it “wage theft” so much as “wage slavery.” Theft implies a higher wage was promised to you when profits increase when that absolutely wasn’t the case. They told you completely shamelessly that you would be getting the same shitty wages no matter how well you do and you had no choice to accept it, you know, basically like a slave. At most a slave that could choose their slaver.

Actually, calling wage work slavery isn’t that far off, since many slaves throughout history were paid in some form for their work, and some could even (in theory) buy their freedom. You will never be able to buy your freedom though, the capitalists calculate your wage to ensure you remain poor and desperate so you keep working for them.

Just write the Rust build configuration as a Rust struct at this point.

It’s also manufacturing consent for society to accept being covertly recorded by random people at all times, and potentially for that footage to be posted out of context on the internet with brainrot edits and sound effects mocking people minding their own business because they happened to act a little funny but ultimately harmless in public. It used to be that wearing any kind of hidden camera on your person made you a creep and an asshole period, doubly so if you post any of that footage anywhere, even when it was technically legal. Is it wrong to want it to stay that way? Now you have tech companies not just providing resources to, but actively encouraging that same creep behavior and gas lighting everyone else into thinking they’re the problem if they don’t like it.

The lights in Time Square represent base load, as they are always on

That’s not what base load means. Base loads are loads that you cannot turn off without putting the safety and well being of people in jeopardy. The hospital is a base load. Telecommunications is a base load. Traffic lights are base loads. The subway is a base load. Water and sweage pumps are base loads. Lights in a dark tunnel or underground space are base loads. Turning off any of these will have a significant detrimental effect to the population. Billboards and decorative lights are not base loads, keeping them on is a choice, not a necessity. What detrimental effect does turning them off have?

Power consumption is cumulative, and load shedding should start from the least necessary to most. If we’re at the point where load shedding is necessary, turn off the fucking billboards first, then ask people to turn down their ACs. Doesn’t matter how much or little the billboards consume compared to ACs, they’re completely unnecessary compared to AC so they go first. And even after that, turn off the luxury commercial buildings like ball rooms and casinos before you tell people to turn stuff down in their homes.

As far as I know, Israel’s stance is that because Jews inhabited Israel before the Arab Palestinian “invaders,” they’re completely justified in exterminating them to take back their homeland.

If we assume that Israel’s stance is “correct,” doesn’t it logically follow that every other country is completely justified in exterminating Jews because they’re “invaders” to everywhere but Israel?

If that’s not antisemitic I don’t know what is.

Or, if the assertion is that every country should accept and accommodate Jews (which is the correct assertion obviously), why are Jews in Israel not held to the same standard regarding Palestinians?

You’re arguing with natural stupidity here. It’s human slop.

Just put “Precondition: x must not be prime” in the function doc and it’ll be 100% accurate. Not my fault if you use it wrong.
