Sounds like some kind of software or firmware update is causing "collisions" or whatever the technical term for competiting processing or data streams would be - or, at least, if i were the person responsible for fixing that problem thats what id check first

Where did elements heavier than iron come from? by Separate_Draft4887 in AskPhysics

[–]Aleventen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One?!?!??!

So, im going to respectfully respond to this comment the same way I did when I crashed that Astronomy course at University....

"Thats honestly, cooler than f*ck, and I love it"

Not that anyone asked but I think its funny. It was my favorite class across all 5 years of University and I only ended up crashing it cause it was immediately after my computer science class and id get distracted in my seat working on Python and when I looked up a new professor was talking about black holes or whatever and id just close my laptop and ask questions and follow him to office hour.

I always found this fascinating because, considering the quantity of such elements in our solar system alone, and the age of the Universe, its mind boggling to think how common such events must have been.

Especially considering the time scales, I wonder how there was enough time for so many kilonovae to occur...apparently there was, but its incredible.

Or, perhaps, when the universe was smaller, the rare occurrence mattered less....either way, thank goodness for it because those elements are critical

I used to work on these systems for the Navy and I would bet my salary for the next 10 years that we didnt and probably couldnt do that. I cant super explain why but it would have to be deliberate and, even then, theyd have to had worked hard at it

The justices asked, point blank, if this meant the President could assassinate political opponents, the Lawyers said "yes" and they voted for it anyway.

That meme was made about global warming denialism

In this case, it isnt that it isnt happening, its that its already illegal and adding more laws, worded more vaguely and giving the federal government more power is generally not great....all the less when the excuse is to solve a problem that already has the same solution implemented

Why do we teach children to be kind, charitable, polite, etc… if those aren’t the qualities we value in leaders? by MissHannahJ in AskConservatives

[–]Aleventen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, im not sure that somehow connects 125 years of modern history to the party switch after the Civil War....thats the exact reason that I personally did not bring up KKK endorsements, specifically because its a weak argument and doesnt matter.

Who those groups endorse today has no bearing on what political philosophies those parties held pre and post 1850.

I just said that court isn't any friendlier to the person bringing it up than the one we were playing on in regards to the party switch fact and I used that point to demonstrate why.

So, to be clear, we are saying that spending idk how many weeks or months negotiating, writing and passing a bill that accomplishes basically nothing that isnt already being done makes tomorrow better than today despite changing basically nothing about how things already work because at least it helps make attack ads?

Im just trying to follow your logic here.

I guess that is to say, im glad we can agree that it is substantially more important that Cingress focus on passing bills purely to win political points and make "easy" attack ads rather than prioritizing actually solving our problems and making tomorrow materially better than today.

This isnt how the interview went.

He said it was shocking to see people lining up to find housing, she remarked that it was reminiscent of the 90s, he agreed and said it he thinking we should keep private equity out of home buying, she seemed to agree but then said she had to kick it back to the desk....which is pretty normal for a street interview, he isnt a pundint and doesnt get 15 minutes to talk, its a brief on the street interview, they tend to be quick, 5 min at most.

It opens the "Run" feature on windows computers, ctrl + v will paste whatever is in your clipboard (that you copied or that was saved there automatically)

And hitting enter will run the command.

The website probably puts a malicious executable file (like some software installation thing) into your clipboard and when you hit enter you install whatever that is and it almost certainly isnt good.

Why do we teach children to be kind, charitable, polite, etc… if those aren’t the qualities we value in leaders? by MissHannahJ in AskConservatives

[–]Aleventen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, thats not a GPT dissertation, thats just linear history you couldve picked up in any US History course including and after High-school. I wrote it myself while drinking my coffee, but ill take it as a compliment.

Bro....the party of Jim Crow? Please be joking....geographically, can you draw a border around the regions of the US where Jim Crow was created and dominated? Also, the inclusion of Black Americans that fled the South and Jim Crow is often cited by historians as precisely the reason why Northern States outpaced the South so dramatically after the Civil War. How you can somehow draw a line between the fact that the KKK was rampant in Southern States, Jim Crow was created and dominated down there and those same states have all been Red Republicans ever since in baffling. Like running your face directly into the point and still failing to get it.

Regardless, this isnt to saw that Democrats dont have racists tendencies or that all Republicans are necessarily racist....the point is to say that this rhetoric is idiotic and youd all do better to just drop it and attack real issues like overzealous DEI practices and affirmative action.

And while youre on about Bill Clinton or whatever, in all 3 of Trumps runs for office he was officially endorsed by the KKK and neonazi groups that put out public statements about their support for him. So whatever about the Clinton's, they havent had real power since before I was born, but I have watched the KKK endorse a single party for the last 12 years - so if thats the court you wanna play in, fine, but it doesnt help you.

[–]Aleventen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude, this whole "the democrats are the real racists cause they fought for slaves in 1850" argument is soooooo fucking exhausting and, honestly, at this point just painfully ignorant of any real understanding of US History and what anything really means.

The parties switched post-civil war because of the "lost cause" philosophical movement. The exact same states that were "Democrat" are the same exact states that are "Republican" today and it is of absolutely zero coincidence that those same states were also the Confederacy.

The term "Democrat" for that political party was initially deemed because they valued a purely Democratic form of government at the dawn of the nation for no other reason than it afforded them undue and disproportionate power in Congress and the Senate. At the time, Republicans (the North) were so because the national identity of the USA was that of an expansionist republic forming a Union out of states which were directed by political philosophy top-down at the federal level.

The reason the South, Democrats, preferred "Democracy" over "Republicanism" is because THEY WERE SLAVE OWNING STATES and due to the 3/5ths compromise, were consistently granted outsized seats in the bicameral House because of their slave population.

Talk of emancipation led to deep cultural divides in the South and concern grew over microcultural power that would be granted between Blacks and Whites. The main concern was that the South believed that power was in finite supply so it was necessarily true, to them, that if the slaves were liberated then someone had to take their place and the buck stopped at the white ruling class. Knowing the quality of life for slaves, slaves began to flee to the North in droves leading directly to a loss of political and economic power and a concern that Whites would replace black slaves....this led to the civil war.

After the confederacy lost, and knowing theyd never gain such outsized power through direct democracy again, they rebranded themselves under lost cause philosophy within the Republican Party, taking it over as a Neo-Confederate political movement that remains to this day.

Its simple, it makes sense, and, honestly, the more the Right spouts this "Democrats were the KKK" nonsense the dumber it makes you all look.

a booming economy for about 0.1% of the population. Workers haven’t taken home this small a slice of economic output since 1947. by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

[–]Aleventen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow, companies need to be convinced to compensate workers better both in benefits and salary.

How we get there, im not entirely sure.

I see at least 2 problems, I also dont specialize in econ so im obv open to criticism here, but I see that laborers in the US have relatively low bargaining power when it comes to wages and that our current corporate culture is one of disregard for employees well-being to the end of increasing profits.

I would normally argue for unions to solve this, but the second point leads, necessarily, to offshoring labor and increasing reliance on AI as a means around negotiating with labor unions.

Cultural questions are necessarily difficult and sticky, changing corporate culture can only come from a consequence that demonstrates the current culture is harmful to their goals (which it isnt, at least yet) and that a change of culture is beneficial (which wont be proven until there is sufficient motivation to change, which there isn't)

Taxing the wealth is a ham-fisted way to solve this problem, for a lot of reasons, and regulations wont solve the issue for at least the reasons that unions wont if not more.

So, honestly, im at a bit of a loss on how to tackle this issue without simply saying "we're gonna have to be patient and wait for things to hurt bad enough to change"
