I think my Pi could process 60k rows without overheating. And the poor thing is dangling behind my bookshelf from its power cord with a fine layer of dust coating every inch of it.

I know at least one YouTuber cutdown a salvage Plaid and put a Honda Odyssey minivan shell on it for drag racing.

Glances nervously at Ford, Mitsubishi, VW, BMW…

Seems like a lie. Bedbugs live in your walls and they come out at night. An old trick for getting rid of bedbug, fleas, scabies, and other parasites it’s to bag the affected material and leave it in your car for a few days. The high/low temps kills stuff pretty well.

If it was an Uber, the chances are that they picked up a person who had a bedbug or flea infestation, not that the car is permanently infested with the parasite. Also, you can bag and fume a car pretty cheaply. The idea that you would set fire to almost half a mil of inventory to get rid of a problem that can be solved with a single call to an exterminator seems ridiculous.

Nah, guillotine is less gruesome than a hanging. Proper guillotine usage, blade falls, head comes offbody is secured, so there isn’t a lot of flailing. The blade itself blocks or stops a lot of the blood from shooting out, you might get a little from the head itself, but it falls into a basket. The victim is facing down, so there is no expressions for the crowd to witness.

Meanwhile, in a proper hanging, where everything as planned, a whole person drops a few feet, snapping the neck, the body spasms twitches around violently, even if the victim is fully bound. The crowd gets to see the expression and life fade from the victim’s face, it’s whole spectacle. Not to mention there are a lot of ways the hanging can go wrong. If the height is to short, or the rope is new, the neck won’t snap, and the victim does a hangman’s dance for 5 or so minutes as they fight to breath, the brain is still connected to the body, so it’s a very directed and desperate struggle instead of a minute or so of errant electrical pulses.

If you ignore peaceful protest, then the inevitable “violent” protests are your fault.

Those were made to be a humane execution method.

I just have an axe. Much cheaper, and these perpetrators don’t deserve humanity. Call me.

Well, the government organization that allowed consumers to complain, get the money back along with a settlement, and have the product recalled, was recently “fed into a wood chipper” by the guy who makes the cybertrucks.

Regulatory capture. For the most part, Automakers can determine if their vehicle is safe, as long as they have certain hardware requirements (Like airbags, backup cameras, and a roof that can support the weight of the vehicle.) Heck, I remember some Tesla engineer saying that the mirrors are only on the truck because they couldn’t get the legislation mandating them removed in time to replace them with cameras.

…And the owners manual is probably digital and accessed via the infotainment system. (Shout-out to the fuckers at Ford who did this.)

Now is the time to shut it down. Republicans are hugely unpopular right now.

Sure, but keep this in mind… The logistics for a single part give it a larger carbon footprint than that same part when it is shipped as part of a whole product. I’m not sure where the break-even point is, but repairing the laptop will eventually exceed the carbon footprint of a new machine, before the machine is completely replaced. Generally, it’s better to build for longevity than repairability. I can’t say at that Apple hardware is built to last longer, but that is certainly a claim I’ve seen other people make based on their experience.

The ability to read does not necessarily mean literate.

No laptop is environmentally friendly. Old statistics, but last time I checked, the carbon footprint for a laptop has basically a train car full of coal. I think Apple was a pretty early adopter of RoHS though. As for updates that slow down the device… Their main competitor is guilty of this too. In October, basically every windows device made before 2016 is going to need to be replaced, disconnected from the internet, or upgraded to Linux.

For comparison, there was a 6% drop in the market in early August, and the market closed the end of the month up 2.4%

He hasn’t got the charisma, the financial sense, or trustworthiness to become a used car salesman.

Yet here we are.

TBF, my partner and I take all of our paperboard and spam mail up to their parents house every other weekend, and it provides enough fuel for their wood furnace to keep the house warm for a few days.
