  • You could conceivably have a basis for a lawsuit against them if you do not agree to the binding arbitration for their disabling of the hardware that you had purchased from them.

    However, do not forget that binding arbitration is still a legal process and does require them to treat it with the same gravity as a court trial would otherwise require, so even if you have agreed to The binding arbitration limitation, should something go awry you still have grounds and a space to take them to court, and in many cases, binding arbitration is much faster and more convenient for all parties than using the court system.

  • My understanding is that there's our physical bodies and there is the lightning of spirit that is our divine selves and when the two are combined together we become a soul.

    I don't envision the soul as something that is separate from the body. Just each of us are one.

    Like if you were turned into a computer program and run on a universe computer, your soul would be whatever happens to actually be actively being computed by the CPU and existing in ram at the moment.

    The hard data saved on the hard drive would be your body and the electricity coursing through the CPU would be your spirit but only what is actually happening when the two combine is a soul.

  • I want like a USB c powered whole mouth toothbrush that looks like two u-shaped chainsaws full of tooth bristles that just wiggle back and forth very quickly and spray toothpaste and mouthwash as they go.

    Where is that innovation?

  • One thing to note, if you find flossing very difficult, like you have to use a lot of force to put the floss in between your teeth to floss, your teeth may have spacing issues and you might need braces.

    I know this because as an adult I got braces and then all of a sudden I found it incredibly easy to floss. It's like 10 seconds and my breath smells better and my gums are healthier because it is easy and convenient to floss now.

  • My grandma told me how she used to cut branches off of trees and chew on them to turn them into bristles and then scrub her teeth with the bristles.

    I have no fucking clue how to do that and I don't think anyone will ever hold it against me.

  • That's interesting. I and my father are both hyperlexic (as in, taught ourselves to read, in my case, before I could speak) but not trans or autistic.

    I wonder how that mixes into the fold?

  • Maybe in the last few years/decades but many firms are raising their cut with trial expenses increasing and tax changes upping their base overhead, combined with the increase on the apr of the loans most of these "no cost unless we win" type firms rely on.

  • The lawyer gets probably 40-60% from every one of these. I bet they would love for the cycle of racism to never end.

  • At $0.13/kwh 100 watts 24/7/365 will cost you $113.88 a year, or roughly $10 a month. Little things add up.

  • Mine is roughly 300 watts, much of which is from using an old computer as a NAS separate from my server server.

    However, I put the whole thing in the basement next to my heat pump water heater which sucks the heat out of the air and puts it into my water, so I am ameliorating the expense by at least recapturing some of the waste heat.

  • Since we are talking about cheap ssds, what do you guys think of netac?

  • Just nothing from Monsanto, as many of their seeds are sterile.

    Best to get some modern old stock. Hell just some beef steak tomatoes and corn would be invaluable.

  • And build up a tolerance by slowly adulterating your filtered water with unfiltered water

  • It just takes some time

  • Exactly, just let him cook for a little while.

  • Think about it like this. If Microsoft didn't try every hook and crook to stuff Edge up your ass it would be a decent web browser and it wouldn't hurt me to use it.

    I hate Edge because it's shoved down my throat, not because of the browser itself.

    If neuralink or whatever takes its place becomes good and isn't forced on us, it might be worth considering.

  • Too bad the Mozilla foundation didn't pivot to that instead of whatever the hell they're doing with AI

  • Okay, yeah, but can you turn off the music in your head?

  • Half elf.

    Actual elf would be too sad, since they're going to live for several thousand years and I would only be a blink in their existence, but a half elf, barring any kind of gigantic world upset would get to live until our grandkids grandkids grew up and they're continued presence in the world would ensure that the my presence in the world did not fade so quickly.
