Economics is a tool. All tools can become weapons when used in an incendiary way.
I’d like to live and participate in a society which has a robust and supportive economy, as opposed to an overbearing economy which treats society as an extractive resource.
Economics filled the void in society vacated by religion after the Enlightenment.
A mechanism of control, conjured by the ruling class, imposed indiscriminately upon the masses, protected from scrutiny, and justified by arbitrary, curated rules.
Nut milk comes from male cows.
It’s a Sony 65” 2019 4K LCD panel.
2160p registers ~200W, 1080p ~100W.
The measured 2160p feed is from a 2017 Apple TV 4K, 1080p from a docked Nintendo Switch.
I don’t see the use case for phones, and maybe there is for other personal electronics, but something similar for EVs should become the norm.
Basically a range extender when you need it, but it can be removed to save on weight when your trips are within the built-in battery’s range. Such a system could easily be extended to trailers, including their own static or removable batteries, and where the additional axles could be powered so they can contribute regenerative braking.
Decades of experience has revealed the overwhelming majority of ‘suicide prevention’ concepts are exclusively focused and fixated on acute suicidality, which are often precisely the opposite of what’s required when dealing with chronic suicidality.
One of the most effective mechanisms, particularly for chronic suicide prevention, is to create an environment in which one can realistically and actively choose to participate in when we’re at our most vulnerable.
Friends don’t let friends use Facebook.
The only persons it should be acceptable to subject to capital punishment are corporations.
Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.
It pollutes any environment it’s conducted in, and causes secondary harms to non-participants by incentivising insecure hoarding of PII.
Wireless data links should be the exclusive domain of temporary, nomadic and/or sacrificial applications.
If the channel is permanent, static, or critical; as much of the path as practicable should be provisioned with constrained energy transmission.
CEOs and executives aren’t the target of the anger, it’s sociopathic CPAs (Cunts, Pricks, and Arseholes). It doesn’t help that to succeed as an executive one must embrace being a sociopath.
The easiest path to remove the targets they’ve painted on themselves is to cease being, and behaving like, sociopaths.
More broadly, we need to stop incentivising, rewarding, and normalising sociopathy.
May I suggest a stupid scandal naming convention for the trolling?
Harp-a-Lago has a ring to it.
A lineage which dates back to at least 1998.
Stupid scandals should get ‘-a-Lago’ pinned to their arse.
Tariff-a-Lago is a go.
Following the Watergate scandal, ‘-gate’ became the suffix to label subsequent scandals.
I propose stories associated with Trump, and other stupid scandals, be encrusted with the suffix ‘-a-Lago’.
Every healthy society requires a robust guillotine maintenance capability, ideally across all competencies.
He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.
No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.
That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.
