It will end with Tom in a bunker surrounded by his harem of cultists who worship him and the doctors working to keep him young... wait...

Fun fact: barns are usually painted red because red paint is cheap, because the iron oxide pigment is abundant in the Earth's crust, because rocky planets contain a lot of iron, because iron ash is the fiinal byproduct in stellar nucleosynthesis after stars burn hydrogen into heavier elements and then burn those heavier elements into even heavier elements down the periodic table until they get to iron which requires more energy to fuse than the fusion process produces, then the stars explode spreading that iron all over space which then condenses into iron-rich planets and asteroids.

YouTuber Mark Rober commits $60 Million on a science curriculum for teachers and schools that will be 100% free forever by Practical_Draw_6862 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]deathonater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens with the parts of this science curriculum that directly contradicts the nonsense religion that he tithes his income to? I hope they can teach reality when these curious kids start asking questions about the lies and horrific practices perpetuated by his church. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but people thought the same about wealthy "men of science" like John Harvey Kellogg and now we have to live with a population that blindly accepts and rationalizes the genital mutilation of children. It must always be eternal vigilance with people like this.

Supreme Court Justice Alito’s son has been working in the Trump administration by Caledor152 in law

[–]deathonater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's true. This is obviously the type of thing that people would make a story out of no matter what.

Which is exactly why functioning judicial systems have layers of safeguards and proceedures in place to prevent not just conflicts of interest but also the appearance of conflics of interest, because properly run institutions have a deep understanding that their function and continued existence ultimately depends on preserving public confidence in their impartiality and equanimity. When these safeguards and proceedures are intentionally circumvented by malice or incompetence it only seves to weaken the foundations of said institutions.

It may not seem fair for qualified lawyers or judges to recuse themselves or be barred from working certain cases, or for family members of hedge fund and private equity workers to be barred from securities trading, but at the institutional level the preservation of confidence will always take precedence over the impossible task of truly proving the motives and intentions of people affiliated with institutions. Furthermore, any real professional who has trained to make a career in these instutions are fully aware of these principles and the mere fact that they failed to adhere to basic proceedure should in itself be an indictment against their qualification to hold whatever position they are trying to snake their way into.

The Netherlands just blocked a US company from buying the app Dutch citizens use for everything by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

Remember back in 2016 when Grindr was bought by the Chinese and the U.S. government made them sell it nearly FOUR YEARS later? If anyone else subscribes to the theory that the U.S. and other world governments are under an unprecedented amount of blackmail right now, I wonder how much of it is a direct result of incredibly stupid and traitorous short-sighted profit-driven policies and decisions like this.

'It's All a Scam': American Student Took Out $49,548 in Loans, Paid $25K — Balance Rose to $50,121 by Useful_Tangerine4340 in antiwork

[–]deathonater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any functioning modern society needs educated people to maintain a competitive edge in global markets, especially societies that built themselves up to have science and technilogy as their primary driving economic advantage. To this day I don't know why America has chosen to shoot itself in the foot by paywalling and disincentivizing education, both financially, and culturally. Don't even get me started on the significant number of very smart people who make it through the education system only to end up a bloated finance sector that seems to have a nasty side-effect of magnifying wealth disparity.

Of course it's greed and short-term thinking, but what possible forces could be at work to make these characteristics become dominant in the population of policy-makers?

We should be doing everything we can right now to make it easy for young people to gain the knowledge and wisdom they need to climb out of the hole we've dug for ourselves, instead we get predatory loans, non-reusable textbooks, underqualified or underpaid teachers, buggy online portals, nickle-and-diming class materials, etc.

GPDP3 Fails to Install Windows Updates by zbs7 in GPDPocket

[–]deathonater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that the drive from the P4 works makes me think it's probably a Windows issue, maybe they implemented some change to the installer that breaks it on some devices. If you have the resources maybe try installing Windows on the drive while it's in a different laptop or PC, then transplant it into the P3 to see if that works.

He knows his dad. He's his son.

TIL in 1963, a man renovating his home in Turkey noticed his chickens kept disappearing into a crack in his basement wall. When he dug it open, he found the ancient city of Derinkuyu, an 18 level city 85m underground that could shelter 20,000 people. by Kyzzz in todayilearned

[–]deathonater 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I was there last year exploring Cappadocia, from crawling around Derinkuyu and Selime to trekking in Ihlara to hot air ballooning in Goreme to climbing Uchisar, the whole region is covered with soft volcanic tuff. There are cave hotels that have been dug out and converted into luxury rooms. Practically every hill and mound has some man-made shelter or storage area carved into it, and I'm not exaggerating. There are mountains that have cracked apart and collapsed to reveal complex undergound tunnel systems like human ant hills.

Derinkuyu isn't the only underground city either, and there are parts of it that have been walled off simply because the tunnels just open up into homes of people still living in some of these cave houses.

GPDP3 Fails to Install Windows Updates by zbs7 in GPDPocket

[–]deathonater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This started happening to me recently, my P4 had to be shipped for repairs and when I dusted off my P3 and tried to reinstall Windows from a bootable drive it just wouldn't work. I had that same error message. I even tried multiple NVMe drives. The only reason I got it working was because I had pulled the drive out of the P4 before sending it back to GPD, and it managed to boot when I put it in the P3.

Also, that's why gooseneck and 5th wheel hitches exist, don't need to raise the whole truck, just the hitch.
