You will catch political sub bans for posting in and/or joining all sorts of other political subs, no matter what you actually said. I got more than a few from the exact opposite end of the political spectrum. All the…
The Lower Decks was good as a love letter to older fans, I do recommend that. But both Discovery and Academy were horrendous and I regret the time spent. Picard had a few good episodes and it was nice to see the old…
But the labor costs of manufacturing are still tiny compared to material costs. If labor was free for European manufacturing that would only drop the price a token amount, not the £10,000+ that Chinese autos have over…
If it truly went to everybody to me it is just government paying dividends to the people. Which I think is far preferable and useful compared to corporate bailouts and tax cuts and most other allocations. We gave money…
To me this just reads like how I imagine people and the Luddites thought about automated looms. At first they were excited, thinking about the cheap and abundant cloth they put in plenty of work to make automated looms…
What you are describing would be straight up treason. The fact that treason charges are almost never laid upon anyone shows it is a farce.
Ring shanks do exist, but they are also made with a softer iron so it can be struck with a hammer and bend instead of fracture or snap off.
It is interesting, but also seems needlessly complex and of limited benefit to anyone not already at the top, and thus prone to cumulative errors and delusion which make the entire system brittle. So as someone not at…
You don't think Iran would have renegotiated to extend it further? If not, why would they even bother top follow the agreement in the first place? The legality of what they do has never been a consideration, they are a…
Wealth is the problem. Wealth buys media, PR, and propaganda. Wealth buys positions of viable candidacy. No body even thinks it is remotely possible for some rando off the street to get elected to a federal office, not…
With congress I feel like they have been capitulating their duties for atleast a few decades now. They don't care at all about their job, they only care about the personal power and wealth and benefits that getting…
Meanwhile we vent 95% of extracted helium into the atmosphere as an inconvenient waste gas. If it is so important, why aren't all our gas wells extracting that helium? It is hard for me to see this as a ploy for…
None of that would seem like a problem to me if the costs for going to US colleges and universities weren't so ridiculous and the penalties for student loan debt weren't so one sided.
And yet AI still can't tell me what the default setting for my tractor's carburetor has.
But nobody wants or pays for "pro level" plumbing work. Just like the majority of construction, speed and minimum viability are king, quality is the last consideration. Especially for plumbing where it all gets covered…
And what kind of entertainment do you enjoy in your 30s and 40s?
If you think plumbing is anywhere near being automated away you must not know much about plumbing. You will never see a bigger hodpodge of materials and fittings in so many shapes and sizes and states of decay. Maybe on…
Unless we start building tons of fission plants or "solve" fusion power, 95% of our staple crops will be more efficient to grow directly with the sun. So maybe indoor in a greenhouse sense, but not an artificially lit…
And by public you mean rich assholes that have the ability to purchase freedom piece-meal but are otherwise okay with everybody else being restrained and surveilled so that they aren't a threat to them. Politicians =/=…
All of them as long as they didn't keep spending money on bombing poor people.
Back when I could only get barely serviceable dial up I had a large chunk of the local library's and the local rent-a-movie/game 's catalog ripped. If I still had to do that now I doubt I would be missing out enough on…
It certainly may be true, but I would ask, is a bit higher survival chance worth the costs? If humanity is so incapable of self governance and individual judgement and freedoms, should survival even be the goal? I would…
A few use youtube, none of them watch ai content on it. What kind of ai content do you think people are watching?
So the Soviets stole space satellites and rockets from... aliens?
Pretty expensive is putting it lightly. It is about $40k in hardware that is proprietary and you must use, plus you pay the full price for all the movies after that.
