A bus once hit our car while my spouse was driving, tore the front bumper off. NYPD took 2 hours to show up, refused to do any kind of report- said they only do a report when someone damages a bus, not the other way around. Took a year to get the city to pay for less than half of the damage.

NYPD doesn’t even bother to show up for car accidents that don’t involve a serious injury… on one hand it’s super frustrating but on the other they probably have bigger things to worry about

Don’t data-centers require massive cooling?

They should be, of course- but in more than one case they are not

I think a similar thing happened to an investigative journalist in DC

Some white hat hackers took control of a Jeep Grand Cherokee’s brakes and throttle remotely, like 8 years ago. The only reason to have WiFi or cell service on a vehicle is to let the government kill you lol

Edit: it was ELEVEN years ago

they will give you a poison ivy like rash, so you need to burn off the outside, but if you inhale that smoke guess where you get poison ivy

TBH i really like that i had to get a bit techie again to make the switch. learning to use the terminal a little bit has ignited something in me, and the fact that linux doesnt track my shit has made me way more privacy conscious

garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, chopped onion, minced garlic, SALT, black pepper, Worcestershire, soy sauce, bay leaves, paprika, tomato paste, ground ginger

I’m not very techie, so when I took my brand new Lenovo (cheap) laptop from w11 to Linux mint, it really felt like an achievement. I haven’t used a command terminal since college, and I straight up made a bootable usb and wiped w11

man that’s really snowy

where are you? Finland?

HOW TIGHT ARE THEIR TIES

In addition to the coal wars in the east, there was the Colorado coal war and the ludlow massacre Also some really nasty stuff at the Carnegie steel works in Pittsburgh perpetrated by HC Frick while Carnegie himself turned a blind eye.

The labor movement is specifically and deliberately ignored by ALL public schools in the US

Labor laws, like no child labor, the weekend, 8 hour day- they are written in the blood of fallen workers, the blood of their children and wives.

Anyone remember dogfort?

They’ll find some way to blame Kamala for it, don’t worry

This is for the US only, unfortunately, but it substantiates my claim, according to this article 54% read below 6th grade level but the “average” American reads at 7-8th grade level

Most Americans read at or below a 6th grade level

I wonder if they are out of touch because they are CEOs, or whether being out of touch helps them become CEOs, real chicken and egg problem there

At what point do people just start sabotaging these things? Datacenters and AI may represent things that only exist virtually but they must exist in our physical world as well
