XEAL, in Don't belive big telecom

Romanian gypsies have joined the chat

Cqrd,

Just some casual racism, nbd

XEAL,

You mispelled realism

ImFresh3x,

Race realism is just racism for pussies who can’t just admit they’re racists.

DragonTypeWyvern,

I love seeing people explain the obvious to accounts I’ve blocked, especially when it’s clear they said some racist shit.

Liz,

You know someone is extra racist when they manage to make a racist comment on a picture whose only sentient being is a dog.

Vespair,

Damn, and here I was thinking we left all of the garbage like this comment and poster back on Reddit.

Guess we really can’t have shit in Detroit

It says then not than, the person wants to be enlightened

Chakravanti,

Than. THAN.

10_0, in Who's really coming for our jobs

Oh no, investing in companies that turns a profit, that investment simply would never make returns for me personally; especially if I diversify my investments.

catch22,

I don’t want to play monopoly, it’s boring and a waste of my short time existing

10_0,

Keyword: diversify. Maybe in knowledge base as well.

ComradePorkRoll, in Always wondered how they feel

It really depends on the actor. I think we can all agree that not every actor has the same emotional maturity and therefore will not all react the same to it. For example, take a look at what Jonah Hill expects from his partners versus Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively seeming to be a healthy couple while both have had some raunchy scenes in movies featuring other people.

Jonah Hill really is a piece of shit. I’m glad my gut instinct was to fall into a bottomless pit of cringe every time he appears on screen. I could never stand that fat little toad.

TunaCowboy, in Core Values

Where in the US is there socialist agenda?

Our choices are either a stripped rights corporatacracy or full on fascism.

aberrate_junior_beatnik,

Yes but these people think nancy pelosi is a socialist.

Judging by her stock market trades, she’s one of the best capitalists of all time.

McSudds_,

Exactly

Oderus,

Medicare, Military, Social Security, Minimum wages and bailouts for banks and billionaires. All forms of wealth distribution but god forbid your country actually implement national healthcare in a way that truly benefits everyone.

social democracy =/= socialism

This name given is really evil

  • Which phobia do you have?
  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
Buck,

It’s kinda of a joke name, the scientific name is sesquipedaliophobia, just a smidge over four letters.

Socsa, (edited ) in Core Values

Marxist Leninists when they haven’t ignored 150 years of contemporary political science for sixteen microseconds

rando895,

Which parts exactly?

Socsa, (edited )

Mostly the parts where autocracy doesn’t liberate the workers. Even temporarily.

sevenapples,

ah yes, the famous “autocracy of the proletariat”

Shaggy0291,

…As told to you by bourgeois funded academics

Twelve20two,

Every time I start to listen and learn from people more left than I am, they get to the part about how after revolution there’s probably going to be a period of autocratic rule that should then dissolve by the will of the people. Except none of them talk about plans to actually facilitate the transfer of power, or better yet, prove Lenin wrong by not going thru a period of more authoritarianism.

mindbleach,

And “communism has never been tried” is such a stupid word game.

They tried to try. What happened, fellas? How’d it go?

Twelve20two,

If anything, communism has been tried, but it’s never been achieved. A stateless, classless, currencyless society still sounds frickin awesome… But that’s not we’ve had :(

Socsa,

Right, the massive gap in Marxist theory is, and has always been, workable statecraft.

In Animal Farm, the pigs where instrumental in starting the animals’ revolution, and directly after, the pigs never relinquished control.

LemmyKnowsBest, in Always wondered how they feel

Wolverine really does look like two Batmen kissing.

LemmyKnowsBest, in Always wondered how they feel

Why is Wolverine concerned with Mermaid Ariel and Prince Eric kissing?

Enkers, (edited ) in aibohphobia

Doesnt phobia treatment usually involve some sort of exposure therapy? Call me crazy, but making the name a palindrome itself seems like a clever part of the treatment, as even discussing the phobia would help provide exposure, and work towards a cure. (Assuming it’s a real thing…)

xeekei,

No one’s actually afraid of palindromes, it’s a joke phobia.

Enkers, (edited )

There are 8 billion people on this planet. At least one of them has to have had a traumatic experience while listening to Bob.

Actually, it’s called iocusphobia, the fear of joke phobias.

velvetThunder, in Don't belive big telecom

I was living in a world where I wasn’t aware that it’s a thing to steal cables. Thanks. But aren’t fiber optic more expensive?

ridethisbike, (edited )

Probably, but I don’t think you can easily melt it down and sell the raw materials like you can with metals… Just a hunch

Caboose,

Fiber optic cables are very much not recyclable, at least with the current recycling technologies.

reddithalation,

i mean its glass, could just melt it down

lorty,
@lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

What makes fiber optic useful is the fact that it is a very specific kind of glass.

Strykker,

But it’s still dirt fucking cheap to produce.

The expensive parts of fibre are the transmitters/receivers at each end and the labour to splice/terminate it properly.

xradeon,

Sure, but the glass core is only 8–9 µm wide, it’s a minuscule amount of glass compared to copper cables so it’s not really worth it to melt it down.

Caboose, (edited )

Most optical fiber is 125um of glass with 250um coating. The coating and the jacketing that make up the cable (mostly non-recyclable plastic) are the real problem.

xradeon,

I don’t know of any fiber that the core is 125 microns. Can you link to one? Neither Single Mode nor Multi Mode fiber is that large.

Caboose,

Sure: prysmiangroup.com/…/SMF---Single-Mode-Optical-Fib…

You are right the core of most optical fibers is either 8-9um for singlemode, or 62.5 or 50um for multimode. The cladding, which is also made of glass, surrounds the core and this is almost always 125um. Often there is more than one layer that makes up the cladding glass to help reduce the bend radius before you start to attenuate your signal. You need both the core and the cladding of different refractive indexes to create total internal reflection, which is how fiber optics work over long distances with low loss.

The glass (core + clad) is the only part of the fiber that is really recyclable. Everything else is plastic that is difficult to chemically remove.

There’s a lot of really bad literature out there on fiberoptics, so I don’t really blame anyone for not knowing this stuff. Here’s a pretty good article that sums up how fiberoptics work I pulled off google: ofsoptics.com/…/how-do-communications-fiber-optic…

Gabu,

It’s hyper complex glass

Caboose,

Some are complex, most aren’t I’d say.

Honytawk,

No, Fiber cables are really cheap. They are basically just glass with some reflective coat.

It is just that the connectors and more importantly the work of attaching those connectors to the cable that makes them expensive. They need to be welded in a dust-free environment, and require lots of skill to get right.

the_seven_sins, (edited )
@the_seven_sins@feddit.de avatar

Also, copper cables capable of transmitting high data rates aren’t easily manufactured either. Think of shielding, twisted pairs of wires, etc. And they don’t even contain a lot of copper.

Catsrules, (edited )

Generally when I hear people discussing fiber the big costs is actually running the cables and terminating and splicing the ends, the actual cable itself is relatively inexpensive from my understanding.

But with regard to stealing cable, you really can’t do much with a fiber cable on the secondary market besides using it for fiber, and you also would probably need to re-terminate it that can be very costly. Compared to copper or other type of metal cables that can be sold very easily for scrap metal. That can be melted down and made into something else or just reused as cable.

HawlSera, in Vaporeon the pretender

I feel weirdly proud of the fact that I wanted to fuck Vaporeon before the meme existed
