Its funny that “ur comment sounds AI btw 😏” has become the new “sick burn” for people with no argument. Especially when the comment in question reads absolutely nothing like an LLM.

The advice is more meant for changing through gears, not starting from a stop. As mentioned, you don’t really need much gas to get going.

I see this sentiment posted a lot on here, and while I don’t disagree with the position, I’m not sure I understand what exactly is meant. When you say Americans should “grow a pair and fight”, what are you envisioning? Should I drive to my state capital and shoot the governor in the head?

Meanwhile, criminals and “criminals”:

I used to be like this until I got a job that required constant phone calls. Now if I have to explain something using more than three sentences I’d much rather just talk.

It isn’t that the prices are jacked up, it’s that it’s enough toilet paper to last until toilet paper goes out of style.

It doesn’t really. It’s a T-intersection, where the top of the T has stop signs, and the bottom leg does not. If you are on one side of the T, you must enter the intersection, such that you are in the path of the bottom leg, before you can see if there is anyone coming from that direction.

The people coming from the bottom leg (with no sign) have no reason to stop or slow down, and would generally not have reason to look in the direction the fence is blocking visibility. I don’t think traffic coming from that direction even recognizes the obstruction. All they see is someone suddenly creeping into the intersection in front of them, when they can be mere yards from them.

They’re building a school near where I live and they’ve got these things all around the site. Problem is, there’s an awkward intersection at one of the corners of the site, and traffic coming from the street that is 95% blocked by the fence does not have a stop/yield sign. So now everyone has to slowly approach the intersection, and slowly creep forward until you’re halfway in the intersection to see clearly, and hope a car isn’t barreling towards you at 30MPH.

God, I used to bike around here.

I marathoned the Lord of the Rings trilogy ~15 years ago on cable.

It was awful. Commercials were bad enough, but I’d only seen the extended editions, and getting through all three movies in like 7 hours felt like absolute blasphemy. It would cut to a commercial break and when it came back it’s like they skipped 30 minutes every time.

My work buddy will only eat meals made from single-ingredient foods because of “all the extra shit they put in there”, and smokes a pack a week.

I think capitalism was a great and necessary thing to get humanity to it’s current post-scarcity state. As you said, production and innovation were really aided by capitalism in the early days of man, but now that we have all the shit we need to survive, all it does is deprive those without.

Lychee (the resin printing slicer) offers a 30 day trial. They have many users with the first name “Fuck” and the last name “Lychee”, coincidentally all with sequential “fucklychee001@gmail.com” email accounts.

Anything bad = AI 😠

I don’t think we’re really getting anywhere with this, but that’s kinda my point.

Take a large pan and set it off-center on the smallest burner on your stove top. The entire pan will get warm, yes, but the part directly over the flame is going to get the hottest.

The cpu is the flame, the pan is the phone. If you have to wrap the pan in some sort of protective coat, but want to effectively dissipate heat with the smallest hole possible, the smartest design would be to place the opening over the source of the heat, not the center of heat sink.

If the cpu is in the top corner of the phone, the top corner of the phone is going to get significantly warmer than the rest of the phone (in terms of thermal dissipation). Putting a vent hole in the center where there’s less heat while having the warm part covered makes no sense.

More than just your cpu, gpu, and psu generate heat in a desktop, but they’re the only units that normally have giant heat sinks with dedicated fans for cooling them.

If there was a hole in the center, but the main producer of heat was still covered, that’d be a pretty bad design for heat dissipation.

Lots of phones use the aluminum body as a heat sink, so it kind of is how it works.
