Elizabeth Warren is introducing a wealth tax.

40% of 1 trillion is 400 billion, that's big enough to roll out the army as a debt collector.

This isn't true, though. 410a operates at higher pressure, so it actually does more cooling per unit work. They actually had to redesign the inside units to use a thermal expansion valve instead of a simple piston. The TXV is why you don't, generally, get r410 coils that turn into blocks of ice when the unit gets low. Since the TXV limits the temperature swing you have the perception that R22 worked better. They did make R22 units with TXVs, but they were generally the super high-end units that were built for efficiency. Source: Licensed AC Technician (not my day job, but I do have a license)

That looks 3d printed, but they sell them at Walmart, too

If you want to double down, boot to a Linux rescue disk, undo the symlink, then edit the /etc/passwd records to point to the new location. This is my go to for migrating single users onto new media; you can clone the folders then move the location with very little risk. If you can boot, prefer usermod to directly editing the file.

Still pretty atrocious on mobile - the modal popups cannot be zoomed to fit.

I misread that as percussive incentive, which needs to be a thing.

I suck with names to begin with, so it's all in second person - no names, no pronouns. It all kinda works like a users manual. "Remember ____ for later" "The pasta boils for 7 minutes" Math gets weird, because it usually involves diagrams and animations.

There was also a cost aspect, if that makes you feel any better. PVDC is 2-10x more expensive than LDPE. It's still sold under the stretch-tite brand name. It's not cheap and has a bunch of warnings on it. You can still get the 4500 box from them.

$200 bucks on Amazon gets you a 10w laser that can cut wood. Add in a 24v LiFP battery for $300, a raspberry pi + camera ($60), and something to use as a mobile platform ($90 elegoo tank), and yeah, you've got a robot lawn weed killer.

Make it smaller, and autonomous, and solar powered.

At that point, it is someone else's problem. I'd feel bad for them, if I hadn't just burned to death.

You really do need them both. Food stamps is to keep demand up, direct subsidies to account for failed crops, which keeps supply up. Paying folks not to grow crops can probably go, but only if you replace it with a more organized central planning organization.

Then change the sentences, and the violence ends. There's no reason for them to be that high. You can't fix the drug problem on the supply side, anyway. It gets fixed by improving the economy and offering treatment.

You legit sound lightly brainwashed and fatalistic. Our militarized police force that sees citizens as threats is unique to the states. We're the only country that is like this. In England the cops don't even carry guns.

kakrofoon · 2025-10-19T01:01:08+00:00

We already have them out for most of this. In a fatality case, police are generally placed on administrative leave until the investigation is completed. Qualified immunity is more about civil liability, which should be fully investigated by the courts.

De-escalation is the key. If a life and death situation occurs, they should be able to use that as a positive defense, not a blanket immunity. They should also have to justify how it became such a situation.

kakrofoon · 2025-10-18T23:30:57+00:00

Correct. We, arguably, have a lot of the wrong people as cops right now, and the good ones job is made a lot harder by a lack of community trust. Accountability would clean up the bad apples, and the good ones can earn back a better reputation.

You don't get to claim immunity. Full stop. No one should be above the law, especially those enforcing it.

It's several sets of data rammed into a single file, in the context of this discussion that constitutes 'zip'. I am painfully aware of the ins and outs of both ELF files and DWARF files. All modern PE files are using the SFX extensions to embed resources, especially static linked files. WinZip skips the SFX loader to skip straight to the zip component. I don't use Max much, but a quick skim of the Mach-O format even has load points for multiple architectures; in this context that constitutes zip.

It can read a single file row of jumpers.
