There are aeronautical engineers who think the world is flat. Human beings aren't rational creatures, so it's not surprising that there are scientists that are religious, but acting like it's some bad apples who give religion a bad name is also not correct. Might I remind you the vatican itself has helped hide multiple crimes committed by the clergy over the years, everything from shielding child raping priests by moving them around to burying the bones of the native American children that were kidnapped from their families and brutalized in church grounds. Point me to any country on the map that's a theocracy and I'll show you how they brutalize their population. I'm not against religion, but religion shouldn't be allowed to interfere in other people's lives, should not have any say in how a goverment runs and how laws get passed and should be forced to pay taxes like any other business. Religious people with power over others are a danger to society.

This is heaven

Split column staggered is how keyboards designed for human hands should be, I don't understand how most manufacturers are still pushing a keyboard designed for mechanical typewriters, that needed the row stagger for the mechanical linkages under every key. I'm I'm in between jobs right now but I'll buy a split keyboard as my next keyboard soon

Lol do you live in a cave or something, religious organizations used to straight up torture and kill scientists if they made any claims that were not in line with what the religion claimed, read up on what they did to the early astronomers who were figuring out that the sun and not earth is the center of or solar system, and that's just one instance, I can point to a million other atrocities that today's society views as barbaric done by organized religion. Religion has nothing to do with living a good life, it's about centralising power and control over the masses and making them obey your commands.

Yeah cause other religions are so progressive and constantly evolving for the better lol

Religion has nothing to do with God, even if you believed God exists, then since God is omnipresent you can have a relationship with God from anywhere. Why would you need to gather with a group of people and have middle men priest who claim to speak on behalf of God. Religions are about power, control, elitism and us vs them tribalism. If there was a god, he'd be disgusted by the barbaric things done by religious people in his name.

I haven't thought about that in so long lol. I got a hand me down laptop that had that tech in it and the special light scribe blank CD, I wanted to try it out but I never could decide what I wanted to print with it and so I never did

Yeah, so far the Plex changes haven't affected me but I'm prepared to move to Jellyfin at some point

Exactly, should apple be allowed to patent a phone with a rectangular touch screen. A basic broad idea like this shouldn't be something that's allowed to be patented

Even their hardware design these days is them copying popular products from smaller tech companies

This bullshit is why I'm never buying a smart TV, and if I can't find a dumb one I'll just attach a Nvidia shield or Raspberry Pi streaming box and just watch my Plex content on it. The days of paying to watch commercials should be long over

Reminds me of the prison system in the Minority Report movie.

I bet this is how Elons Sim would look like

Vance Def gives me family killer vibes

I'm just gonna volunteer to go on the front lines and hope I get taken out as quick and painlessly as possible

I ditched MS office for Libre long time ago, all I need it for is to open and view the occasional document anyways. For creating or editing documents I like Googles office suite better though

I never thought about it but yeah you are right, we can eat and drink stuff while on the move, plus we can sweat and control our body temperature

Gold has value by itself, just look up it's applications in the semiconductor industry

Reminds me of that scene in The Good Guys where Ryan Gosling's character tries to punch through a window and cuts his arm up and slowly realizes he's fucked lol

I’ve changed a few employers and so far no one has ever asked me to bring my physical SSN to show them
