I’m not generally the type for this kind of meaningless comment, but it is just so perfectly apropos, I present the following statement:

womp womp

Volkswagen used forced labor from concentration camps. I don’t think there’s any way to argue that a company built upon human suffering isn’t evil - or at least wasn’t at the time.

The Autobahn was built using forced labor of re-education camps, prisoners of war, prison inmates, and Jews from concentration camps. If the Wright Brothers made the first powered flight in an aircraft built of human flesh from murdered victims, nobody sane would be celebrating their achievement.

There is NOTHING honorable about causing harm to others so you can have more for yourself.

A sealed casket is buoyant. If a cemetery is flooded, caskets, especially of the recently deceased with disturbed soil, are known to rise through the soil and then dump their contents (bodies) into the floodwaters.

Leader of a gang responsible for a sizeable portion of the evil shit that has happened in world history says people should think about supporting someone who is less evil.

Okay, guess your followers should switch to Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Atheism, or any other of a big handful of less-evil -isms to choose from than Catholicism.

I mean, he paid with his life. And he suffered longer too.

“Take the Princess and the Wookie to my ship.”

I guess James Earl Jones, Carrie Fisher, and Peter Mayhew can now all ride together.

That combined with it being able to lock weapons onto multiple targets simultaneously, and also being quite stealthy so it can do these things way before the targets even know it’s coming.

Can’t speak for the security or that extension - I tried it once several years ago and immediately ran into the same problems. Since then, I’ve used JDownloader2, which is a standalone app, on both windows and Linux Mint. Works great for me.

One is the presidential nominee of the Republican party, the other is a has-been hack columnist. These two things are not the same.

How DARE people answer a vague question with their own experiences!! Who’d guess that a question asked in English gets answers from people in predominantly English-speaking areas?! Fuck all these people for not discussing the habits of the Layards’s Palm Squirrel and why Sri Lankan boomers love/hate it!

Huh, interesting. I guess this makes sense - to not take up a massive volume, breathing oxygen would need to be stored in liquid form, which means it would need to be kept exceptionally cold or under huge pressures (or both), and would inevitably boil off and need regular servicing. A chemical reaction seems to be a far lower maintenance (and thus likely much cheaper) option for devices that will hopefully never even need to be used during the service life of an aircraft.

He can’t, as this is an ideological split between the parties and would need to go through the house as well, where it would fail. Bringing this up now helps inform voters of an issue that could be resolved if Democrats turn out and take control of the house while retaining control of the Senate and executive branch.

No one can resist Tricky Dick.

I think the chaos will be happening at State capitols this time. National Guard (generally, with some exceptions) report to each state’s Governor. Many Republican Governors will be all to happy to start shit up and look the other way just as Trump did on 1/6.

Just because modern ‘conservatism’ is practically defined by its incompetence, doesn’t mean it hasn’t been racking up win after win after win. They are relentless, fueled by fanatical religious views, a sense of entitlement to take any step necessary to achieve their goals, and pure hatred of anyone that attempts to stand in their way or even moderate their views.

Their hatred is infectious, and there are unending waves of fools ready to sacrifice themselves for what they see as a holy war. Don’t think for a second that Project 2025 isn’t incredibly dangerous, even if Project Heritage has understated offices.

But 90% tax means that $10MM becomes $1MM.

Takes me about 2 seconds with a 5lb steel mallet.

Disclaimer: I hate cruises and the entire industry, but ended up getting roped into a few before COVID by weird family dynamics.

I found a portable router to be pretty handy on cruise ships. The only Internet available is through the ship’s WiFi, and the Internet package I had limited connectivity to a single connected device per cabin. The travel router would be the single MAC and allow all our devices to connect. I was also able to share with family in the next cabin over.

A few months ago I stayed in a hotel for about a week and I couldn’t get my Nintendo Switch to connect through their Wi-Fi. My Switch also doesn’t work on my phone’s hotspot for some reason, even though other devices connect and work fine. Anyway, that scenario would’ve been nice for a travel router, but I didn’t bring it with me on that trip.
