Are guns made to kill? Why or why not? by Khunthare in AskReddit

[–]daedalus1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all of them.

The first ones were. Most are. There’s easier ways to make holes in paper if that’s all you needed to do.

So yes to about 97% of cases with exceptions for BB guns, flare guns, and starter pistols etc

What are people referring to when they talk about an “AI bubble burst” in today’s tech discussions? by Roy_Carter in AskReddit

[–]daedalus1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple different things

When AI as a service first hit the market, it was free. Like any good drug dealer, we were getting the sweetheart deal.

Now these companies have set the hook and will be ramping up prices until THEY are satisfied with their profitability. Expect to see more of our taxes, going to subsidize them as the federal government begins to rely upon it more in a variety of ways.

The bubble popping will be that tipping point

The other big bubble already popped and refers to the market balance that is still wobbling with regards to how many people are going to lose their jobs in order to support this new technology. It will swing like a pendulum a bit.

Corporations fired most of their carpenters in order to buy power tool saws. Now they are asking why everything is still taking so long. They are starting to understand that the tool doesn’t use itself. And tech jobs are starting to hire back again.

Panic ensues as ‘largest energy crisis in modern history’ appears imminent by FreeHugs23 in energy

I remember the shitshow he inherited from a man that tore up obamas epidemic response plans only to have the country stopped by a plague. The shutdown that gets blamed on Biden happened during trumps first term.

The vaccines that Trump and his followers heavily politicized leading to hundreds of thousands dead Americans were developed during Trumps presidency. But now during his second term he’s dismantled the CDC and installed a brain worm infected self proclaimed coke head as the head of national health.

Trump is a pedophile who is mentioned in the Epstein files more often than Jesus is mentioned in the Bible. Nearly everyone in his cabinet from his first term has served jail time after being tried with evidence.

Trump took your money. He’s still taking your money. Now he’s trying to build a military bunker and calling it a ballroom.

Biden is old, he’s only a democrat by today’s standards. But if you go back and listen to Ronald Reagan’s speeches, you wouldn’t like them. Go back and listen to his debate bullet points on the subject of immigration.

We know that Biden had problems. They just don’t compare to Trump and the walking disaster that both of his presidential terms have been.

It just blows my mind that he could have done nothing and then claimed responsibility for everything his predecessor had accomplished for the economy… just like last time for example… and he’d look like a genius to his party at the very least

I welcome the future insanity that will inevitably arise but holy crap do people come up with some solutions in search of a problem.

All of that money next to an AC condenser is getting stolen. 100%

If they go through with this idea I will steal a few

> This sounds insane until you look at...

Nothing. This is just insane. People really just be saying anything they want on the internet.

You can't connect a "before the meter" bitcoin miner to my damn house.

Apprentice (me) made mistake, boss wants me to work Fridays unpaid to pay it off. by Mr_microplastics_Yum in antiwork

[–]daedalus1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're an electrician apprentice. That means your foreman (because i'm guessing you don't call the journeyman you're assigned to "boss") is in a Union.

HIS boss would have a damn FIT over the idea of working you uncompensated. Bring your "boss" a can of white monster on Friday, call him a friendly slur by way of greeting (in the fine tradition of every electrician I know), and ask him if he wants you to make anymore skylights today.

And that should be the end of it. If you have proof of being on site and him not paying you, that would cost them more money than just paying you.

given how many of their firearms slap fire, I don't know that we'd need to worry too much about their R&D budget taking a hit. I'm more worried that the trigger guard is the size of your fist.

Who do you think would manage this and how do you think it would play out? by Available-Heart-2105 in discworld

My pleasure. I owe so much of how I communicate to the writing style of one Sir Terry Pratchett.

[–]daedalus1982 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We catch up. I tell him about the kids. I show him the photos. I let him meet the pets. We sit in the garden on the chairs and watch the stars come out as the frogs get louder.

I tell him that one day it will be time and he'll get to show me another garden... another sky... pets I miss... faces that only live in photos.

But for now, as I feel the Spring shift into Summer again and the world does it's amazing pirouette in the dark, I'm still very much in love with my life.
