What about the civilian right to repair.

Why can’t we all just be allowed to fix all of our shit. Sell me parts, let me open up things and poke around without illegals saying I violated the warranty.

Oh I’ll edit your latex

Tech journalists don’t know a damn thing. They’re people that liked computers and could also bullshit an essay in college. That doesn’t make them an expert on anything.

international VPNs are not immune from US subpoena

And condoms are only 98% effective.

A condom and VPN work on the same principle: a layer of protection. No protection is ever 100% effective, but you can at least try.

Remember, they’re already building the camps. It’s only a matter of time before “helping illegals” is a crime that gets you sent to the camps. I’d rather make the fascists work for it at least.

You’ve still got to connect to their servers and they can monitor who connects to what.

I wouldn’t trust it without a non-US based VPN. We should assume anything in the US is compromised by the fed, and that they are watching.

They’ll just tie it to your credit score and call it the freedom score.

Probably buy RD-180 tech package or just the engines from the Russians.

The RD-180 is one of the most robust and reliable rocket engines ever made. Slap that baby on the bottom of a couple fuel and oxidizer tanks, and you can reach just about anywhere in the world in 30 minutes or less. The North Koreans stole the plans for it and now they have ICBMs, the Iranians could do something similar.

The average global temperature has been rising steadily with greenhouse gas emissions, for over 50 years, but sure we’ll just ignore that and say it’s impossible to know.

We only have the one planet, sometimes you can’t get multiple data sets. But you can certainly study the things that are happening and make predictions based on that.

“It’s hard to link changes in climate to climate change”

Is the author stupid?

Let me address your concerns.

Leaving their hand and going into mine is about as instant as it gets.

Excel and open source equivalents exists.

Buy a safe and keep your damn mouth shut.

Don’t be a criminal, or don’t do 2 crimes at once.

Production cost is irrelevant to how fast the currency goes from person to person.

Any currency will have a lag for economic stimulus. That’s not a currency issue it’s a human emotion and thought issue.

I can go to the next state and pull out a thousand dollars in cash, come back, pay for my stuff, and now it is practically impossible to tell who has what bill, when they got it, what it was used for, or anything else about it after it left the bank. Your mechanic and grocery store don’t catalog the serial number on every bill they get for every transaction.

Cash is instant. It leaves their hand and goes into mine.

Well it’s been like 5 months and we’re already here, so maybe another 6 months to a year?

Nothing a jumper wire can’t fix

The awful Trump branding might be laser engraved in America.

Everything else is guaranteed made in Taiwan or china. The US was just barely getting its semiconductor industry back under Biden.

If these things ever ship, I can’t wait for someone to crack one open just to find a bunch of Chinese parts.

I can only assume you’re human, so that still counts as a man made religion.

Sounds relaxing though, I’d pray to that.

Are their non man made religions I should know about?

I feel like dogs would have a good religion. I wanna subscribe to that.

If your want proof that the wealthy live by a different set of laws, look no further than the time Elon Musk, ceo of SpaceX, went on a podcast and smoked weed.

SpaceX has DOD contracts for launches, and somehow him blatantly violating federal law had no impact on the contracts his company fulfilled for the government.

Do I think weed should be classified like it is? No.

Do I think that everyone should be held to the same standard? Yes. And if anyone else had been involved in government projects while going on podcasts and smoking weed, they’d at the very least be fired.

Where exactly are they storing these fuel cells? Most commercial planes store fuel in the wings, unless I’m mistaken. Imagine a bird strike that exposes pure sodium metal to a cloud or something. Now you have a metal fire on the wing of your aircraft while it’s in flight.

Linux Mint is very user friendly. It’s basically the windows UI, including all the familiar keyboard shortcuts, and the software store is very robust. 99.9% of things are just point and click. Using Steam and a browser is the exact same experience as on windows, only a bit snappier.

Proton has come a long way.

The only game I can’t play is fortnight, and that’s because Epic won’t enable the anti cheat to run on Linux, not because the game doesn’t work.
