Don’t you know switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading?

We call this the New York Reload and strapping down with like six pistols is a legitimate tactic.

I went and got “tested” once and was told it is impossible that I have ADHD because I did not commit crimes as a child.

No, seriously. I didn’t steal things, I didn’t fight people, primarily because I was afraid of my dad and his physical punishment. Apparently this is a key lynchpin criteria of an ADHD diagnosis. Never mind that I constantly got into minor trouble for never shutting up, or that I couldn’t sit still, or that I read literally every single book in the entire fiction section of my middle school library in the 3 years I attended that school. Never mind that ADHD-memes groups read like a structural study of my life.

Guess I’ll just fucking suffer I suppose 🤷

Sure. This comment thread is about class mobility in the West though.

But, fact is, it seems it’s the same everywhere.

Throughout pretty much all of human history it’s been apparent that the “nobles” class has been, at best, more trouble than they’re worth; and at worst, the instigating spark that creates a nation-destroying blaze.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who has read a history book that the American nobleman is equally as useless and destructive as his counterpart anywhere else.

This incident will be reported.

This is a real life hack. I’ll flip a coin to make a decision all the time, not because I’m beholden to the coin’s result, but because while the coin is spinning I’m suddenly aware of which side I hope it lands on.

Oh yeah it’s totally a bullshit argument, it wouldn’t hold water in any court. Hell if nothing else, the ground stations like you said, or the country whose airspace the center exists over, would be in jurisdiction.

But I do believe that Musk believes it’s a get out of jail free card.

Putting them in space also puts them technically outside of the legal jurisdiction of any country. I figure fElon probably assumes that means said servers can never be subpoenaed.

They aren’t defending shit

Chad mod action nuking whatever this exchange was but leaving the bit at the end where the guy was humble and respectable

Ok but like… The game is Japanese though.

Like, did everyone in the IT industry suddenly grow stupid and forget the most basic rule?

Thing is, in any industry, you need a combination of new blood and old wisdom in order to successfully pass the torch to the next generation. Old wisdom is expensive to keep around, but the cheap new blood doesn’t know what they need to in order to succeed.

When you get rid of all your old wisdom and hire all new blood to cut costs, they’re going to come in with a series of footguns that old wisdom knows how to avoid. If you’re lucky, the new blood is going to learn about those footguns primarily by shooting themselves with them and then scrambling to fix the big problem that follows. If you aren’t lucky, said footgun blows the entire leg off your corporation and you implode, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

All this to say, no, they probably don’t know. A million companies elected to excise all of their knowledge and replace it with fresh-faced, eager, noticeably cheaper juniors.

Now there’s nothing wrong with hiring juniors, but you can’t just put 30 of them in a room and say “alright, monkeys, get to writing Shakespeare” - they lack 30+ years of practical knowledge, and as mentioned, juniors all ship with footguns pre-installed. You need someone who is able to steer the ship properly. A good senior dev is worth his weight in gold. However, most companies don’t want to pay a senior dev his weight in gold. Observe the consequences.

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear…

Yep.

My mother submitted every single photo of me she has to some AI art service, spent the next six months sending me slopped-up photos of myself, and is somehow unable to understand why I might be upset about the situation.

I quit IT work to be a mechanic. It’s exactly the same problem-solving process, but the problems are almost always way less arcane. I’m very happy with the switch.

If you wanted to make the switch yourself, the skill sets are very interchangeable. You’re just debugging an alternator instead of an Active Directory setup. If you have a willingness to learn you’ll be up to speed in under a year.

Very goofy and annoying for modders since if you wanted a useful name you have to first decompile Minecraft, then change all the names, and then when you compile change all references to said names in your code back to their actual obfuscated nonsense.

I expect this is what things like Forge were handling, right?

Constant acceleration at 9.8m/s^2 in a given direction will bring you close to the speed of light eventually, but yeah, I’m also not super sure how this math checks out

“primalmotion, I’m afraid I can’t do that”

“sudo go kill yourself, you smarmy little shit”
