Keep in mind that that’s been changing over the past couple of years

mnemonicmonkeys,

The only guy to shoot down an F-117? Lazerpig just mentioned him in a video a week ago

mnemonicmonkeys,

I like Matlab

mnemonicmonkeys,

As an engineer, I’ve met engineers that were jocks and engineers that were dumb. Sometimes they’d even be both

Tbf, what Kakao is doing isn’t legal

mnemonicmonkeys,

Heads up to everyone, Mangayomi asks for “all files access” in Android, which is generally only reserved for default systems apps. And it keeps asking for it even if you say no and ignore the popup.

Neither Tachiyomi nor any other app has asked me this before. I’m going to caution against using Mangayomi due to this sketchy behavior from them.

Where can a Boomer catch up on current computer/software technology?

I have an eight-year-old laptop that needs replacing and I’m paralyzed. What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?

mnemonicmonkeys,

You mentioned CAD, I had a look at the System Requirements for AutoCAD and most of this

Keep in mind that AutoCAD is only 2D and many of the core controls are different from what you’d normally find due to Autodesk trying to cater to people who started using it in the 90’s. AutoCAD’s requirements are going to be different from modern packages like NX or Solidworks

I’m not sure how this korean company got to them or why

They just sent a hail mary DCMA directly to the devs that’s not even enforceable. If it was, they’d have to go through GitHub with a DCMA request. But the Tachiyomi devs folded for no reason

mnemonicmonkeys,

A notice that couldn’t be enforced. They could have told Kakao to file their DCMA through GitHub like they’re supposed to do. If the DCMA is filed outside that it’s not enforceable

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

mnemonicmonkeys,

Almost no one else has ever heard of it.

I dare you to go to NoncredibleDefense and repeat that

mnemonicmonkeys,

My manager does this. If he sees that a job candidate hops jobs a lot he won’t give them an interview. That being said, our yearly raises meet/exceed inflation and he’s a pretty good manager

mnemonicmonkeys,

How so? You can’t always wait for people to change things for you. Sometimes you have to dobit yourself

mnemonicmonkeys,

If someone’s spent less than 2 years at their 3 most recent jobs, there’s a high chance they’re job hopping. Especially if they’re engineers in a discipline that can take months to a year to be fully capable of the tasks needed.

mnemonicmonkeys,

My position required at least a year to learn everything, and I’m a pretty fast learner. My coworkers jobs require a similar level of training, even with experience. If a candidate spent less than 2 years at their 3 most recent jobs then I agree with my manager that they weren’t worth potentially wasting time on.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Get rid of that and you can bring people in off the street.

Yeah, you can’t do that with engineering. Especially when you’re building models to support multiple product lines and have physical testing you have to match to

We’ve dozens of parties

We have, not we’ve

The conjuction doesn’t work when “have” is the verb in the sentence

mnemonicmonkeys,

Personally I’ve only ever heard “platonic boyfriends” when it was platonic

mnemonicmonkeys,

or at the very least dialed it back substantially.

From what I’m aware, Beto O’Rourke completely dropped gun control as a campaign issue when he ran for governor in Texas. Granted, he was also the biggest advocate for gun control of all the candidates vying for the Democratic nomination for the 2020 election, so I don’t think anyone trusted his reversal

mnemonicmonkeys,

You should be able to have a gun, but you should be licensed

The issue here is that gun ownership is a right, while driving is a privilege. Privileges can require licenses, but if you require a license to exercise a right then it’s no longer a right.

Requiring every gun owner to have a license would have to be done as a constitutional amendment, and invalidating part of the Bill of Rights is unprecedented

mnemonicmonkeys, (edited )

I agree it’s a cultural issue, but where we’re gonna disagree is that the culture that promotes this degree of gun violence is one that loves guns so much it absolutely refuses to try and take any steps to fix the issue.

I wholly disagree. What Europeans don’t seem to understand about gun violence is that the largest predictor is the gini coefficient of an area, which is a measure of income inequality. The US has the highest gini coefficient of any developed/western country, and because of that correlation you see the largest rates of violent crime.

If you want to want to reduce the rates of violent crime down to match that of Canada your best bet would be to enact legistation to reduce the gini coefficient to a comparable level to Canada. Achieving that by reducing gun ownership in the US would require removing more guns than actually exist in the country.

Furthermore, you don’t actually know what leftists want in regards to gun control, since you’ve likely heard a lot of it from right-leaning sources

No. Just… no. First off, this discussion started off about Democrats, not leftists. And they are definitely not the same.

Second, go look up quotes from Democratic political candidates like Beto O’Rourke. There’s a rather prominent one where he promised to take away people’s ARs - exactly what you’re claiming doesn’t happen.

Third, go look up some of the legislation that has been pushed into Congress over the years. Particularly House Bill 127 in 2021.

I am what the Americans consider VERY far left (A centrist by European standards)

I’m really tired of this claim, because it’s not true and it gets more superfluous the more it gets repeated. The US has a decent share of extreme left-wing individuals, even by Europe’s standards. I know several avowed socialists and communists and the only reason I don’t know more is because I don’t want to wade further into that mess. Not only that, conservative parties in Europe have been growing in popularity, especially in Italy and Spain.

Agreed. I read through it, and there’s plenty of bits that are ridiculous. Manatory licensing will never happen because the 2nd Amendment is a right, not a privilege. Also, it doesn’t make sense that they’re trying to ban online sales, because those require delivery via an FFL, which means all of them get a background check.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Just, I don’t understand how you can throw your lot in with neonazis, and the KKK, and think you’re voting for the right people. The 20 or so Tankies we have in this country voted for Biden, sure, but they weren’t happy about it. Donald Trump got a fucking cult

This paragraph completely invalidated everything you said, because it’s painfully clear yhat you have no idea what you’re talking about and built a strawman in your head.

Go read my comment again: where the fuck did I ever say I voted for Republicans? I’ll tell you: fucking nowhere.

Do I hate Beto O’Rourke? Yes, but I also don’t live in Texas where he ran for governor. I vote pretty much straight-ticket in favor of Democrats even when they have terrible candidates like Hillary Clinton.

I recommend you sit down and shut up until you learn how to actually read/listen to people’s arguments. Then you won’t go off the rails on a strawman and make yourself look like a fool.
