One of the cooler random stuff inventors actually built a chair for this purpose

I’ve heard klavaro is pretty well liked with regards to typing https://klavaro.sourceforge.io/en/index.html

Yup… bottom line reading something critically, expecting it to be what everyone told you it was… and paying attention to discover it as the opposite.

In some cases something you thought was profound, turns out to be bullshit, fluff or just horrific.

Or in other cases something you thought was nonsense… turns out to be right about everything, down to it’s predictions of the horrible directions capitalism/imperealism would lead to, looking around and going, shit he predicted it almost perfectly.

Ironically the opposite also can happen. I became an atheist by buckling down and reading the bible to shore up my faith to prepare for a morality disagreement with my parents…

Only made it to god giving permissions to have slaves in exodus when I stopped and asked myself… wait I’m looking to this guy for my ideal morals?

I mean if someone is doing that it actually would be the rare example where I could say someone is trump deranged. All medication prescription and non prescription is about weighing the potential risks vs benefits. Taking normal dosage of Tylenol is mostly harmless, and the reason a blanket statement of “it’s no harm, just don’t take tylenol” is a horrific mischaracterization even IF the studies cited showed a clear and blatent causal relationship between Tylenol and potential issues, because it’s simply weighing risk of treatement vs nontreatment. IE fever and pain are also things likely to negatively impact a pregnancy as well as the health of a mother.

Taking any medicine while pregnant, when you do not currently have any condition it is treating is just stupid risk, and if you are taking more than the recomended dosage just to flex on an idiot, you are becoming an idiot yourself.

I don’t get it, we’ve kept peoples pay the same if not lowered it, allowed housing prices and rent to go through the roof, mandated everyone to go into massive debt to get a school degree, and then told them they are struggling because we told them the problem is they are throwing away all their money on luxuries.

Now they are cutting down on luxuries… (shocked pikachu face).

Newton is so strongly the posterboy for how you can be brilliant in one area, and still so wrong in so many others. He spent about equal time looking at physics, alchemy and some bullshit da-vinchi code search for secrets in biblical numerology. Can you just imagine how much further he could have pushed physics and mathmatics if he hadn’t spent 2/3rds of his time chasing red herrings.

Thank goodness for the red circle, I’d have been sure the focus was the 2 guys in the water.

I mean I’d say off the bat there’s so much more complicated than “it succeeded” or “it failed”.

Every system ever made can fail, with issues completely unrelated to the system.

Ignoring the government, would we call a developing nation implimenting a new system, before getting attacked by a massively stronger country with a different (or even the same system), a failure of the system.

Or getting destroyed by a natural disaster… or millions of other factors.

Secondly, just fucking horrible ideas within them. I have to give Lycenko huge parts of the economic woe’s of the soviet union. Likewise right now in capitalist America we can see RFK Jr’s health system and Trumps tarriff system as likely to wreck the shit of the USA.

Build a party… the US has quite a few systems designed to make it impossible to build a party.

Take over a party and shift it’s goals… that we’ve seen at least partially with the tea party, though admitted it was a pretty small shift, and in the wrong direction.

why on earth is bernie the focus, over half of congress is shit republicans that explicitly are pushing nothing but horrible things. I’d say that 10% of democrats are outright undercover republicans (fetterman, Senima, formerly manchin), over half of the remaining democrats are corporatists at best (IE the pelosi, schumer etc…).

Bernie is clearly miles ahead of at least 95% of congress. The fact that he can’t start a political party by himself is, far from surprising. That’s a bit like asking, Asking bernie to start a political party, when in short all he is is one of the best congressmen we have, is a bit like asking a really good pastry baker “why haven’t you started a great multinational chain of Sushi restraunts”.

Was already a documentary on why studying birds is dangerous… it’s called Jurrasic Park.

Could you imagine the confusion if you are used to it though… you’ve considered this scent to mean dead your whole life. would be kind of like as a human noticing your heart isn’t beating, your skin is pale… realizing you are in a coffin and everyone’s performing a service… hmm… guess I am dead. course I guess that’s kind of the difference is humans aren’t so accepting of things. we could be unable to move, realize we are looking from the perspective of our head, which is on the ground 2’ away from the rest of our body and our first thought would be, "Hey can you hear me? Hello!!.

reminds me a lot of the polar express uncanny valley.

Honestly I think we need to do more blame to the general popular media. AKA while the actual real science has moved so much further forward. Most people will complain and hate it if their dinosaur renditions don’t match what has been set in stone in their minds by Jurrasic Park. Hence feathers are in the minority of renditions of dinosaurs for the mainstream public.

The scientific renditions are pretty accurate. The current movies, books, toys, cartoons, etc… on the other hand are all stuck on a modified for creative and practical reproduction variant of the version that science had in the 80s.

lol I did that for a while when I was broke… for quite some time I rigged up my linksys router with wrt, set it up as a repeater for my neighbors wifi after cracking it.

Of course the real irony was after cracking it, I realized I could have cracked it much easier with a phone book (after realizing my local ISP, just used the persons phone number as the WEP key)

Also have to agree, that 1. Inflation wise, to a degree video games seem almost untouched by inflation. Which IMO is symptomatic of the real problem. The average person’s budget for luxury items, is if anything going down. Hence why in spite of inflation resulting in everything else going out. game prices have been steadilly launching in the 50-$60 price range since the NES. Even with massively increasing team sizes etc… Also worth noting, they are far and away one of the most insane price vs entertainment time ratio you can imagine. Movies are what… $20 for 3 hours of content? While for 2-4x that games typically average in 40ish hours for a main game alone (and very easily into the hundreds for completionists or multiplayer)

Personally I’d be happy for luxury items to be spiraling upward at a steady rate, while housing/transportation/necesities all lock with wages.

IMO I think that’s basically what kills the luxury goods/entertainment industries. Is that AAA games cost way more, take far larger teams than ever before, but at the end of the day, they need to sell them to the same masses, that have if anything less disposable income than they did in the days that AAA games were made by a team of ~10.

So yes in my opinion in short, I don’t consider the idea that video games jumping up in price, at a rate that’s insanely low compared to inflation. After 25 years, a video game goes up from $50-$80 (and it can be noted that in that time team sizes have multiplied tenfold), meanwhile in 2 years a shitty one bedroom apartment in a small city’s rent goes from 600 to 900, while they are cutting the staff etc…

No actually works on more. If you grind a human into a seive into salt water, pour the salt water into a busy walkway.

After forensics is done in there… the cleanup crew also organizes it into sponges, Mops… and all kinds of tools.

I mean the logic isn’t entirely wrong… though at least familiarize with snippits. I mean I don’t have to read Mein Kamph to say Naziism is evil.

Of course, there is a huge difference, even in snippits and small amounts of information it’s quite clear that all nazi followers, support racism.

While modern marxists do not call for violence etc… and specifically is calling for changing of things that, are not physical traits that require bloodshed.
