Austin is pretty much just tech bros that decided California was too woke at the this point. All the locals have been pushed out.

I found it very telling that HBO re-wrote the entire Butlerian jihad because the robots were evil, rather than the actual point where using machines to replace humans was wicked and evil

In his defense, I also have a west facing window in my office and it is absolute ass trying to get anything done from 3-5.

Also, dude has obviously never worken up before 8am at any point since college, since you won't get a sunrise like that anywhere in California, and that's not what a Miami sunrise looks like

Have you ever actually worked in a factory? Things are way less automated than you would believe. I worked at a plastic injection molding company 5 years ago and we had exactly one press that would automatically apply stickers to the product once it came out, and it would break down constantly. Another factory i was hand sealing fiberglass sheets together for use in washing machines. Or when i worked at a tire factory, i was weighing out curing chemicals by hand into a scale, monitoring rubber coming out, and even handcutting rubber to recycle. The inly factories that have heavy automation are brand new, because management takes one look at the eyewatering price to repair automated equipment and find that it's cheaper to oay someone $20/ hour to do it by hand.

I recently started as a graphic designer despite knowing absolutely nothing about it, so i am constantly searching how to do stuff in Adobe suite at work. Half the time Google's AI can't even keep "Cmnd" and "ctrl" straight, telling me to use' "cmnd+shift+H" on Windows or "ctrl+shift+H" on Mac'. I don't even know how it botches that, but it does it about 25% of the time.

But what if the valve was actuated electronically with no manual access?

It's just because the way we understand transgender people has changed a lot in the last 50 years. Ultimately the guy accepts Lola for who she is, so I don't see how that can be considered bad, especially when the band has said for decades that they wrote the song to give trans people perception in the public eye.

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." Letting tthe Republicans shoot themselves in the foot is very different than giving them everything they want on a silver platter.

Idk how you can blame the Democrats for a shutdown when Republicans control all three bodies that can avert it

No

Literally the only power the courts have ever had is the executive's decision to abide by it. "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." so even 200 years ago there was never anything actually stopping a president to expand his power. De Tocqueville pretty said the same when he did his deep dive into American politics.

We use to flip the light gray flap all shift in computer lab in middle school. When we got bored with that, we figured out how to pop out the Dell logo and flip it upside down

I started as a graphic designer back in November with absolutely zero experience. It's crazy being whown how to do stuff in Adobe suite by a 68 year old man

I applied to a very specific group of white men. That's it

It takes 24-72 hours to confirm if an animal has rabies. That's just not time that organ donations have.

George Carlin said "It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it" 20 years ago. This is how America has always been, people are only now starting to wake up to that.

So then you were probably already buying steel from US steel or Cleveland cliffs. Most automotive ateel in the US is purchased from those two firms

No one is gonna start producing cheap shitty knick-knacks in the US. The will continue to be maid in China, only now they will be twice as expensive

Easiest way to dothat is stop supporting Israel's genocide in Palestine. Seems like all upsides to me

And the Democrats, at the behest of their corporate donors, will do nothing about it, and will refuse to run any ads saying that Trump and the Republicans are to blame
