Didn’t the bailouts return less money with inflation though? We can’t even give students less interest than inflation with student loans. If the tables were turned the banks wouldn’t have taken less than 5% interest.

So the act of commerce is ethical but the source of the commerce might not be? I feel like I’m being really obtuse here and I apologize but goods and services could be stolen or forced and rarely is legislation enough. But I can totally see two unknowing people engaging in trade at their free will for items they don’t know are stolen.

I feel so pessimistic about the world at times that I find materialism and ethics just don’t mix.

It’s already been done with lighting and building. It used to be that you could only work when the seasons, weather, and sun allowed.

That’s what I am saying, this is nothing and we shouldn’t be celebrating nothing. It’s not like they fixed the Trump admin’s tax changes, it’s not like they’re taxing the wealthy more.

To do more than nothing takes an act of Congress and they’re not doing anything, they’re doing nothing. This is the legal equivalent of 4th grade graduation ceremonies.

I agree with you in most cases.

There is a point though as a water cooler can cool an extremely small area better than heatpipes. Look at Zen 4 processors for instance. The CCD is so small and offset that many air coolers don’t properly line the heat pipes with part of the CPU making the most heat. Because of this Noctua even makes and sells an offset bracket to try and move the heatpipes over the CCD. Meanwhile a waterblock should cool the entire area at effectively the same rate as it doesn’t rely on vaporizing the coolant and condensing but just pushing coolant through regardless of heat saturation.

Only a fraction of people should really notice that like overclockers and generally people buy coolers they don’t need.

I feel like most roads where you’d ride a scooter the cars would be less of a problem if they followed the speed limit. Scooters should be able to go down 45mph roads just fine but there’s always some massive truck going 60.

I’ve heart NotJustBikes say similar things. I normally don’t favor control over everything but at this point I would be ok with cars having electronically controlled speed limiters to not exceed the speed limit of whatever road they’re on.

It’s really just created such an entitled, careless, and demanding mindset where bikes need to have speed limiters on them for safety but Fred can buy a 1200hp 3 ton weapon with no limiter.

I’m perfectly fine with there being interstates that go 85mph I just don’t want people driving so fast in dense areas with mixed traffic. If I could have people just not be assholes that would be great but I feel like driving the speed limit now is just reason for someone to get angry with you and want to drive you off the road.

I’d love to ride a bike everywhere I can but every road I would be riding would have traffic going over 45mph with massive vehicles who have drivers so impatient they’d rather run you off the road than share the road.

    I used exclusively Macs and iPhones till the early 2010’s. I had the original iMac and I eventually moved to a G4 and an intel iMac. That last iMac was such a pile of overpriced crap I killed two HDDs, the RAM, and the GPU. I went from knowing nothing but their ecosystem to never touching it in a year and I haven’t gone back.

    It’s really counter intuitive to how we think of rolling resistance.

    This video helped explain to me how the material the wheels are made of does impact the rolling resistance because the wheel deforms.

    The issue is that the M1 (M2 and M3) chips are way more efficient than X86 chips and they gets really good battery life compared to standard PC hardware. So I can hate on the software, the price, the lack of expand-ability, and so much more but I can’t get that efficiency anywhere else.

    System76 doesn’t have some massively efficient ARM chip and system to separate them from any other windows laptop maker I just put linux on. You buy System76 because you like System76. I can live with that and I am very willing to spend more for less in places I feel matter.

    Talk about a total bummer either way. I appreciate the confirmation.

    The system is designed to have two parties. With fptp voting you encourage a system of two parties that agree on most things because you’re not allowed to have a party with nuance as that will be a wasted vote and simply allow your most disliked candidate to win by splitting the vote.

    I like to too but not because it is cleaner, I just like the void space with a fox tail coming out. Feels like chasing a fox down a rabbit hole kinda thing.

    There are completely Americans that want war.

    The US actually hasn’t declared war since WW2 and the US military industrial complex is fucking hungry to never slow down. Like the US spends nearly a trillion dollars a year on the military and that’s not including all the sales to other countries and such.

    Depends on the region and sometimes ethnicity.

    It’s actually considered cruel to have the white guy bring the mac to a black cookout because he’s likely going to get roasted for it.

    Woah there. I love pineapple on pizza. Pineapple, jalapenos, and mushrooms is just a great combo.
