Still not a ton of details so I’m for sure not jumping to any conclusions, especially with how shitty Tesla’s are and their safety record…

But, Trump Tower and a Cyber truck certainly is the perfect symbolic intersection of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. If one did want to make a symbolic statement about the two, I don’t know if I can think of a better intersection. Can you?

Obviously it’s not proof of anything and Tesla’s fucking suck. But I at least can comprehend why the perfection of the symbolism is noteworthy to people.

Edit: I see in a follow up comment buddy is linking it to New Orleans. I see no connection.

As others have said, running out of motherboard SATA slots doesn’t mean you need a new machine to support expansion.

You can get m2 adapter slots for more SATA drives.

If you think you’ll be building a NAS in the future, and are cheap like I am, you might consider getting a pci-e expansion card for SAS rather than SATA drives. They’re backwards compatibile with SATA drives, but open you up to being able to use SAS drives which are common in enterprise data centers. You can get used lots of those drives on eBay WAY cheaper per TB when the data centers hour them out.

I’ve got a machine with 16 SAS drives running the unRaid OS, and I’m very happy with it for data hoarding and media serving. The drives (with shipping) cost $5/TB.

We still are, the pressures and traits for reproductive success are just unintuitive.

I think most of the problems we have in society are from isolating and ignoring these communities.

Police think everyone is a crook. Doctors think everyone gets cancer. Mechanics think that every Nissan rogue will have its transmission fail at 100,000km.

It’s a perception bias. If I wanna change the mechanics mind, I need to get him out of the shop, into the real world. Let them drive around some rogues who’s transmissions DO work.

We basically provide the tools to sequester these communities and are surprised what crawls out of the petri dish.

Lol

There might be consistency in his logic if it’s predicated on women being lesser than men. FtM would make sense to someone like that, but MtF would be absurd.

I think a lot of trans hate is really just a manifestation of misogyny.

I’d take odds that his mars ambitions are not only what you said, but that he didn’t even organically come up with the desire. I’d bet he just saw Total Recall in theaters and walked out and was like “yep, I wanna be the bad guy from that movie”

Finland has mandatory civil service. Vast majority of men have done at least a brief period of military service.

This would be much more about skill maintenance than “learning to shoot”

It depends on the jurisdiction.

In Alberta, Canada, for example, employers will hire programmers from two distinct pools of educational streams: Computer Scientists and Software Engineers.

CS programs are governed by the faculties of science, software engineers by the schools of engineering.

The software engineers take the same oaths or whatever and belong to the same organization as the other engineers (in Alberta, APEGA) and are subject the same organizational requirements to be able to describe themselves as engineers. They can have the designation revoked the same way a civil engineer could.

Practically speaking, as someone who works with both, I don’t see a meaningful difference in the actual work produced by grads of either stream. But at least in my jurisdiction the types of arguments being made don’t really hold because it is a regulated professional designation.

I guess this is why I was confused. The comment you were replying to was saying the justification for impor/exports existing simultaneously was based on the geographical (aka logistical) efficiencies of moving different products to different facilities with different needs.

You appeared to me to be rejecting that justification.

I’m trying to understand your line of thinking and it seems to necessitate accepting that oil isn’t moving between inputs and outputs at the most cost effective way, which would necessitate oil and gas companies intentionally working in a way that isn’t about maximizing profit.

Am I misunderstanding your premise in such a way that I’m inappropriately needing to bake that in?

“If you act like Assad you’ll end up like Assad”, they said to the guys who ended Assad for being Assad.

To be honest, I actually don’t really appreciate human moderation, so that’s probably biasing my position.

I can block communities. I can block users. I can set word filters.

If I block someone, I never have to hear from them again. If a moderator does, they’ll be back with a new account, and then I DO have to hear from them.

I’d far prefer a “federated” and crowdsourced mechanism to layer onto an extremely lightly moderated foundational layer.

If someone, or someones, want to curate a filter list that aligns with my sensibilities, awesome, I’ll opt in. I’ll contribute. If I bump into unresolvable issues with other filter curators I’ll fork the filter.

I don’t need or want a tiny subset of users working full time for free getting burnt out or going on power trip crusades.

The quote I was referencing is this:

“People - Please don’t make the life of your mods a living hell. Anything that is celebrating violence is going to get taken down - if not from us, then from reddit. I think all the mods understand that there is a high level of frustration and antipathy towards insurance and insurance execs, but we also understand that murdering people in the streets is not good. We are a public group of medical professionals, we still need to act like that.”

The line about making their lives a living hell?

If you ever feel the need to type that in reference to your volunteer Reddit moderation… Stand up, go outside.

Why the fuck would the moderators care about how much work it is to remove the posts.

I’m entirely empathetic to your position.

Internet conversation is intrinsically imperfect. The contract of semantics isn’t sufficient.

I think in so many senses of the word, you’re right. Technically right. But not practically responding to the practical intention of the communication.

No.

But if you preface them with qualifiers that means something, no? Are those words meaningless embellishment or are they intended to provide additional meaning, and if so, what?

I don’t think most people have strictly concluded anything, they’ve just acknowledged the a significant probability.

You’re on a semantic crusade.

Established facts do come with proof. That’s how they are established to be fact. You’ll notice a suspicious avoidance of the word “fact” in the definition you posted.

He MAYBE fucked around on his one wife causing embarrassment.

He CERTAINLY fucked around with THOUSANDS of people causing DEATH.

It’s worthwhile to consider alternatives but it’s unwise to paint all scenarios as equally likely.
