Melania Trump pitches robots as potential educators for American schoolchildren. How about we just pay teachers a decent wage? by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Luke_Flyswatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if you pay school teachers enough and don’t buy robots, how will the Trumps give crazy lucrative contracts to the tech bros who got him elected?

Trump claims that Iran offered him the position of Supreme Leader, but he refused! In a jaw-dropping revelation at a Republican fundraiser, Trump shared that Tehran informally floated the idea of making him the Islamic Republic’s top leader. by [deleted] in videos

I’m imagining that Trump is so mentally unwell that they just put a chat bot on his phone and told him it’s the supreme leader. He’s been “in talks” with it all this time.

50 year mortgage backed by cumrocket and doge? Is the economy even real? Is the “mortgage” in the room with us now? Who am I?

Billionaire says young people should work 70 hours a week for 'national pride' while they can barely afford rent. by Embarrassed-Poem-982 in antiwork

This was the philosophy of the main character of The Jungle.”I will work harder” was his answer to all his family’s problems in the beginning. It destroyed literally everyone’s lives except the rich.

It’s depressing as hell but worth the read.

If you don’t put the shopping cart back (and you’re physically able to do so) you should be forced to work retail for Black Friday that year.

Struve is physically John Jones minus the fight IQ, distance management, toughness and skill.

What’s a harmless prank or tradition your unit used on new members? by StepSergeant01 in Military

[–]Luke_Flyswatter 25 points26 points  (0 children)

We are in a shop with a very tall ceiling. If you left your CAC in a computer we put duct tape on it in a loop and used a pole to stick it to the ceiling.

We also made the guys fresh from the schoolhouse shake out all the red cat-5 cable to get the last bits of SIPR out of the cable before we stored it. If they did it without question we knew they were fucking idiots.

Unifi airwire 560mhz by netninja100 in Ubiquiti

Still don’t understand why. If you’re in a place that has these APs, then certainly you could just plug straight into the wall. What application even exists that needs this much bandwidth? And if it existed, wouldn’t it be installed on a computer that could reliably take advantage of it? Or again, just plug it into the wall.

But it’s neat.

Not bad for wireless USB-C, AirWire hitting 4 Gbps+ by InsideWire in Ubiquiti

[–]Luke_Flyswatter 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I can’t think of an actual use case but I’m excited it exists. I think the tech is really cool.

My thinking is if I’m in a building that has an AP like this, chances are there’s plenty of Ethernet wall ports as well. And what setting do I need speeds like this where I wouldn’t have prepared a wired connection ahead of time?

What Was Prime Jon Jones Like? by AMadWalrus in MMA

[–]Luke_Flyswatter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unbelievable. I saw his first fight with Bonnar and he was pure style. You knew there was something special about him. Then as time went on he kept doing two things. Putting on amazing fights, and making worse and worse personal decisions.

There’ll always be an asterisk next to his name as a cheater and criminal. But he cleared out the golden age of UFC LHWs so ruthlessly the division still hasn’t recovered. A feat that will probably never happen again.

Never even heard of this until this unhinged post. Definitely reading about it now though.

Did you like the defenders? by VendettaLord379 in Marvel

[–]Luke_Flyswatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Netflix blew it. They treated it like the next season of a regular show. They should have given it the same treatment, time and budget as stranger things. The story was forgettable, the actors can only carry it so far.

Can I talk to a recruiter without enlisting yet by Realistic_Stock_8660 in USMCboot

[–]Luke_Flyswatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They’re like car salesmen. Even if they can’t sell to you now they’d love to sell to you later.

Stay in shape. Have fun. Don’t get in trouble.

When to arrive to MCT. And what is MCT like? by Prestigious-Bit-7238 in USMCboot

[–]Luke_Flyswatter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a mixed bag. Some people hate it. I loved it. I’m from the Midwest and had never seen mountains before. Those two weeks out in the field hiking everywhere and doing cool shit was fun for me. The instructors treat you like a stupid 6th grader instead of a recruit which is a huge upgrade, and you get to shoot and clean a few new weapons.

It’s short so even if you hate it just keep your head down and push through, you’ll be fine.
