The Patagonia vest is what makes it since it indicates that it’s a (former) tech bro.

Those bananas look like they could be alcoholic at this point.

Private equity is salivating over the idea of running his carefully built brand into the groundmaximizing value extraction from steam.

The current meta here is that things like brand loyalty and reputation are not really worth preserving, and are only as good as whatever short-term gains you can squeeze out of them.

Had to be a sick ostrich.

Trump has no idea what signal is. He basically has no real concept of what this scandal is about.

You guys ever feel like everything should just be deprecated? Like fuck everything and start over?

An older guy said sometimes people would season and bag steaks and keep them submerged in hot tubs in the 80s.

I’m guessing the cheaper ones don’t have sine-wave inverters (they use a dressed up square wave which can be produced by purely digital electronics) so quality of the output waveform is bad. The power supply of the laptop (or PC) ends up having to work harder to cut out the extraneous bits of the waveform (that is it’s job) but all that extra crap is just turned into heat. Laptop PSUs are small , so have less heat dissipation and likely aren’t built for this. The ideal use case for these cheap inverters are purely resistive loads (like heaters) but even some less sophisticated electronics would probably be fine. Computer however, are generally designed for clean power.

If it’s a sine-wave inverters and the generator is working properly then idk why it would matter.

The sausage steering wheel is pure gold.

I’m pretty sure I had that same mouse movement thing happen. That was a deeply buried memory until you mentioned it .

Okay but all monkeys are sharks.

You’re not creating more stick, but you’re making the stick longer. The pressure wave in the stick will travel at the speed of sound in the stick which will be faster than sound in air, but orders of magnitude slower than light.

Everything has some elasticity. Rigidity is an illusion . Things that feel rigid to us are rigid in human terms only.

Also, everyone should try hot tub champagne at least once, or it’s low rent cousin the shower beer. Something about a cold bubbly beverage in a hot steamy environment enhances both pleasure.

Sort of related but I’ve always wanted to rent a chalet at a ski resort with an outdoor hot tub so I can be outside in the freezing cold, while sitting in a hot tub, whole sipping a cold beer.

It’s like giving a middle finger to thermodynamics itself.

Cool sentiment, but they all vote every time and we don’t so it doesn’t matter. Or you can become a 2nd amendment person.

To anybody curious why he isn’t big, you still need the exercise to gain any noticeable amount of muscle

Damn it, I knew I forgot something.

To some extent, political parties are naturally occuring . The group dynamics of a legislative body will naturally result in groups forming around specific issues and even philosophies. But there is definitely a strong argument to be made that we’ve made them far too official, and far too entrenched.

Cool, but half the country supports this shit. And no, people who don’t vote don’t matter in this context.

But not old enough for this to be about Windows ME.

The ADL took a break from bashing anti-genocide protesters to tell everyone not to worry about this.

Most people do not care about digital privacy to the extent that they’ll ever give anything up to achieve it. Online communities are not in any way representative of the general attitude towards these issues.

If I ask people whether they’re willing to put a mic in their house to let me spy on everything they’re saying they’ll say no. If I say it’ll also turn lights on and off and play despacito on demand the vast majority say yes. In isolation people prefer privacy, so long as it costs literally nothing. As long as they have to give up nothing. That’s where we are, unfortunately.
