We've been calling for peace for a long time now. Perhaps it's time to take a different approach. Palestine will be far more peaceful without an Israel trying to annex territory and commit genocide.

You mean to 0. Right? Limit campaign spending to 0 dollars, buy advertising time and spaces as the government and share that equally between candidates, like a developed country does?

A) The Americans don't know that, if they did they wouldn't use them and B) This is a whole video about not using those rings. You know, anything to avoid metric.

A few people at the company I work for are attempting to use LLMs to write documentation for old undocumented code.
The results so far have been hilarious. As in, hilariously wrong in every possible way.
It's almost like trying to retroactively document old complicated code in a complicated (financials) field is a disaster waiting to happen.

From what I've understood of the situation is that New York city made the primaries ranked choice and kept the regular mayoral election as single vote plurality (AKA FPTP). Because if they made the mayoral election itself ranked choice, why even bother with primary elections?

It's legal because the government says it is (regardless of the law) and the people aren't killing the kidnappers or the fascists in government responsible for their actions. The US no longer has rule of law.

Don't forget "After strike breakers and police murder failed to stop laborer protests and those protests started to turn violent"

Anybody wonder why Iran after this attack by Israel and the US decided to stop cooperating with the IAEA inspections that they had previously been cooperating with?
I fully expect Iran to be nuclear armed soon.

Skiving is used almost exclusively for water blocks and the tiny high efficiency fin stacks in laptop coolers. It doesn't make sense to use this approach for regular air coolers which generally have a vastly higher surface area by using much bigger fins, usually soldered to the heat pipes for CPU/GPU cooling or just mounted directly on the component for most other uses.

When in doubt, C-4.

When the armed masked men are right there, help is only minutes away. Shoot first, call 911 for the survivors.

Pretty much this. You can put 10 1W LEDs in a light to get a 10W light and it'll last a few years. Or you can put 15 1W LEDs in a light to get a 10W light and it'll last 2 to 3 decades (At least, assuming no power surges/brownouts).

And an important part of CICD development and engineering is to test components in isolation as much as possible before assembling them. How many launches has SpaceX had so far without an engine failure? Can they really say the Raptor engines were ready to be integrated into Superheavy and Starship?
Not to mention the launch pad disintegration. And any engineer could (and many undoubtedly did) tell them that you don't put fuel tanks near your launch or test stands.

Right, but that's Falcon 9 and 3 Falcon 9s strapped together. The Falcon rockets used mostly proven technology, with the interesting and new part being the ability to relight the first stage and land them. And while that did take a few tries, it didn't affect their ability to launch things into orbit.
Starship's engines are radical new technology and it quite clearly isn't ready to be put on a rocket and launched. And a lot of engineering knowledge is being ignored (remember the launch pad?)

Don't forget the beliefs of the current (US and Israeli) theocrats. Israel can do anything they want because they need to control greater Israel in order to cause the end of the world. So who cares if they nuke a few muslims in the process, they don't see muslims as people.

Those can be found in musea, but I suspect trying to import them to the US would be difficult. I recommend either building your own or finding more modern means to fit with the modern times.

I don't hate AI, I hate its unchecked consumption of limited resources, the pervasive copyright infringement committed by just about every maker of AI models and the complete and utter disregard for rule of law from the big players in the tech sector.
I feel AI research is important, but the mass use of LLMs in their current form should be illegal even after they get rid of all the copyright infringement.

Given that almost every ship is built up in sections and then welded together? I'd be more worried about a ship that had decks added to it, that changes fun things like center of mass and metacentric point, which is how you end up with ferries toppling over in mildly rough seas.

Properly trained police horses? Nah. If you want to get a rider off a horse, without injuring the horse in the process, you're going to need to hit the rider. A long stick (with or without pointy end) will give you the reach you need to get the job done and if you come in from the side, it doesn't take much to upset a rider.

Sure, but if the US didn't want to be faced with that genocide or civil war choice, they should have fixed their electoral problems, made bribery illegal and generally progress along with the rest of the western world. Instead, they allowed their government to be captured by the oligarchs.

Correct. You cannot just directly wire your solar panel into a battery. That's a good way to get a battery fire.

Pretty much all of the problems he mentions were caused by either Republicans themselves (defunding/privatising essential services) or Capitalists deciding they can make more money by creating and perpetuating the problem (housiing crisis in particular). The only 'problem' that has anything to do with immigration is the cultural problem. And the real cause for that one is of course racists not tolerating other cultures.

Invasion or insurrection. He's already claiming the latter and it's only a matter of time before either the protests turn violent (And if the protestors don't cooperate with that, the cops have a long history of making it happen) or the fascists simply manufacture a pretext, either out of whole cloth or from a false flag attack.

When government fails to follow the law, it is the people's responsibility to step in and hold those in government responsible.
This is a situation where the founding fathers themselves advocated for a violent overthrow of the government.

We are blaming the Democrats who keep siding and working with Republicans in spite of their utter lawlessness. Who refused to do anything in the 4 years they had the opportunity to do so. Because in the aftermath of a Fascists takeover of your government, you should look at actions not parties. Every Democrat who worked with Republicans to enable Trump needs to be treated the same as the Republicans who put him in power in the first place.

This has nothing to do with it being normalized and everything to do with the major new organizations being owned by fascist oligarchs.

The fascists are doing what we predicted 6 months ago. They're inciting protests, seizing the slightest provocation to apply martial law nationwide now that they've had enough time to purge anybody who might oppose them from the Federal government and military.

They're an occupying army. Military gear, face masks, no identifying marks, using armoured vehicles and ARs.

It's the Russian B-52 bomber. Reliable and far too expensive to replace, so they keep upgrading and maintaining them even as the cost to do so soars ever higher.
And of course, like the B-52, the Russians lost most of the equipment needed to make new ones and would need years to rebuild that, assuming that they even could since most of their tech production and design in the Soviet days wasn't in Russia.
