Yet another "you're overreacting, that'll never happen"

Think of it like when you know you need to have the car keys taken from grandpa because he's an actual danger to himself and others.

But it's easier said than done, especially when grandpa is surrounded by people who either refuse to acknowledge his bad driving, or actively encourage him to go out and drive.

Also grandpa is armed and there's no guarantee that any of the people around him will stop him from shooting you and everyone in the neighborhood for trying.

And don't forget that half your siblings are actively cheering grandpa on and calling you slurs for even suggesting something is wrong, and they are also armed and aching for an excuse to shoot you. Your own gun isn't much use since you aren't close to grandpa, and by yourself you can accomplish little to nothing, and you can't reliably call your saner siblings to help out without drawing grandpa's caregivers attention.

The whole government is one giant dementia patient and needs to be burned to the ground so we can build something better, but there's no guarantee any of your siblings will make it or even be successful.

Unrelated, my mental health is great these days.

10 years ago you're absolutely correct.

Now? Just one less barrier for fascists to do their thing.

In a way that will realistically never happen in such a large country that arms it's police like they're military.

I'll happily arm up, call the people I train with, and get to work. unfortunately without large scale organization that simply isn't allowed by the alphabet squads because "domestic terrorism" or any number of made up bullshit claims (any leftist/progressive group. see also: black Panthers) the only thing that would result is 1-15 people dead in the street. Or more likely their beds, because they got raided at 2am and the cops just dropped grenades on their houses/apartments.

I do love how much I've been seeing ".ca" users clearly advocating that the US go through another revolution/civil war/domestic disturbance that causes the deaths of thousands, if not millions.

I'd rather just use the internet and look around for an hour or two.

Wastes way less water and power than asking a single question of an LLM and I'll have a much better idea of how to accomplish my goal.

"How much do you weigh?"

If they get defensive, that tells you all you need to know.

If it's simple curiosity, and actually about finding "the right one" then surely a simple question of weight wouldn't result in anything but a polite, if terse, response.

I mean, it is about finding "the right one" isn't it? Surely both questions have merit and never result in hostility from either party.

Luigi (who I am not convinced actually did it) only stopped at one.

I bet if we kept going, things would change pretty substantially.

Looks to me like an old fuse end cap. Similar to one of these fuses

Whats the outer diameter of the circular end? And the inner diameter for the little hole in the middle?

I would happily pull out a bullhorn I keep for such occasions (as I'm sure everyone does, it's totally normal) and yell into his face "YOUR JESUS SAID TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS AND SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE"

Whaaaaat? Are they suggesting the United States would ever do anything to harm people? People who have done nothing to deserve it, and certainly not to the united states?

And then the US lied about it????

Noooooooooo, that could never happen... repeatedly... throuought our entire history....

I've never heard a girl use those measurements.

Women, however, use them frequently enough.

Sorry for being pedantic but it rubs me the wrong way when people refer to women as "girls"

Edit: Guess this part of lemmy is cool with infantilizing women. Didn't know people around here were cool with sharing traits with pedophiles, but here we are.

What elegance might even an extra millimeter of chassis space produced?

People really don't seem to understand that in the electronics world, one single millimeter can make worlds of difference.

You absolutely can cram so much more stuff in "dumber" electronics, but phones are even more constricted in design, because they need to send and receive signals of different types, so feedback and signal noise are concerns.

Adding in even slightly more space allows for much better design, because you have more tolerances to reduce signal noise. It allows dozens of wires for camera sensors to route better. A 20% longer battery life. Heck, just being slightly more ergonomic and less droppable is a bonus to slightly thicker phones.

I didn't even consider signal noise until I got into fpv drones and rc stuff, it can mame a ton of difference if you have a single wire 2mm out of place. (and crash your drone because the motor interfered with your antenna)

Thiner≠better.

The rich fail up and everyone else has to play by the rules or get fucked over.

You're playing by their rules, and it only matters as long as we allow them to not play by the rules.

I bet they'd stop doing it if they got literally ripped into pieces by horses. Or a horse's solar-powered motorized equivalent.

I make Yoko Ono-quality art every single day of my life.

I just usually flush it, and haven't bothered trying to show other people since I was about 6.

moronic straw man

Lol. Pot meet kettle.

They just want to whine about the US, they have no actual suggestions with merit and keep trying to dismiss any and all evidence that people are actually doing things.

If they were talking about Ukraine, I'd assume they're a Russian bot.

It seems like you want the entire country to openly go into civil war, while completely dismissing the actual things that are happening.

So just someone who wants to get on the USA hate train.

My dude, the hate train is going full steam and for many, too numerous to list reasons. you don't have to deny reality to try and make it seem worse.

Found Denethor's account...

That's fair.

Of course, it doesn’t yet talk in Majel Barrett’s voice yet…

That can be arranged. I've heard they recorded her saying a bunch of frequently used words/phrases, as well as phonetic sounds, so that her voice could be used in the future for the computer. I'm not sure how true that is, but I am a little afraid to look it up.

I've always hoped to hear her in the new trek shows.
