As someone who makes ok money I'd like people to understand that there really isn't lower, middle and upper class. There's people with "Fuck you" money and people without "Fuck you" money. $250k is not "Fuck you" money.

Nomecks ,

$250k in cap gains represents about a million dollars of gain. That's not enough to retire for most Canadians and is definitely attainable by a lot of workers.

Nomecks ,

If you have a million dollars in gains for ONE year, like you sell an asset to retire, you get hit. I agree, multple years of $1m gains is excessive.

Nomecks ,

You can't though. People won't let you raise taxes to pay for it unless it makes them absolutely miserable. Even with this move I'll give it a 70/30 chance the municipal gov gets booted and minimums are reinstated.

Nomecks ,

Stanford is literally in Silicon Valley. It's no shock that the University that cranks out tech bros and is funded by the same group doesn't want anyone reporting on anything unethical.

Nomecks ,

Two, because lemmy.world broke my mfa somehow.

Nomecks ,

Turn on any upstairs bathroom fans. I find it gives the hot air an escape and allows more cool air to flow upstairs

Nomecks ,

This guy didn't read the robot series.

Nomecks ,

The point of the first three books was that arbitrary rules like the three laws of robotics were pointless. There was a ton of grey area not covered by seemingly ironclad rules and robots could either logicically choose or be manipulated into breaking them. Robots, in all of the books, operate in a purely amoral manner.

Nomecks ,

I would argue that most people are almost completely oblivious to the world around them. This lady has been fed pro Russian propaganda her whole life so of course the real world is shocking. How could everything she was taught be wrong?

Nomecks ,

I saw it on the SA foums in one of the Photoshop Phriday theeads

Nomecks ,

Listen Elon, I have three words that will blow your mind: Middle out compression!

Nomecks ,

Him and everyone else. The only problem is that NVIDIA can only build them so fast, and there's only so much high power datacenter space.

Nomecks ,

An HP EliteDesk G4 mini desktop Is around that much

Nomecks ,

You grease up a sled and drag it down a track carved into some rocks.

Never heard of Hyperloop eh?

Nomecks ,

Hey guess who gets your wife's pension and insurance payouts? Her legal husband.

Nomecks ,

By all means, test out what her ex will be entitled to.

Nomecks ,

Make your bullies feel important. Make them think you're their friend. Manipulate them until they stop bullying you.

Nomecks ,

It won't be replaced with something better.

Nomecks ,

Show me the collapse of a large governmental structure that wound up with a better replacement. France is on their fifth republic since the revolution. The liberal order is collapsing into authoritarianism and conflict. That will continue for some time I'm guessing.

Nomecks ,

It's definitely increased a lot in the last few decades, as ships have gotten insanely huge.

Nomecks ,

I knew I finally made it to a senior role when I started to do nothing but paperwork.

Nomecks ,

Phosphorous is everywhere and is used in tons of products.

Nomecks ,

Diamond is the hardest metal. Ask any astrophysicist

Nomecks ,

I don't know what this guy is pissed about. China is going to make their EVs in Mexico, like responsible American companies!

Nomecks ,

The funny part is that the US could just subsidize their EVs at the same rate and keep China out, but they'd rather sacrifice their whole auto industry to keep subsidizing oil.

This has been the law of the land in Alberta for several years and has withstood legal challenges so far.

I believe the argument goes: A driver's license is a privilige, not a right. Therefore forcing you to blow during a traffic stop to maintain the privilege of having your license isn't a breach of your constitutional rights.

Laughs in J1772 + CCS

Nomecks ,

If the Tesla Network fails then anyone with a Tesla plug will just buy an adapter to whatever standard does take over.

Nomecks ,

You're right!

Nomecks ,

Ken Park. Dealing with teenage stuff on a really fucked up level.

Nomecks ,

Want to see a movie that breaks from the typical happy ending trope? Right here.

Nomecks ,

You apparently don't like getting up votes either.

Nomecks ,

I know people hear Hashicorp and instantly think Terraform, but Vault is the real crown jewel here.

Nomecks ,

It's a fine routine until you notice it isn't. I did the Stronglifts 5x5 for a long time until I started noticing weakness is certain muscles. Then I started targeting and expanding.

Nomecks ,

Sorry, the printer of the year is still the 2008 HP 4730mfp. Still going strong 16 years later!

Nomecks ,

They only understand when lawyers talk to them.
