It's for people to memorize hundreds of arcane shortcuts and shit so they can feel like a smug hacker and gloat over the rest of us using other editors and getting just as much done as they are.

Also for graybeards that haven't realized it's not 1985 anymore.

The ICON A5 "jetski that also wants to be a plane" also has one.

I don't want to know what installing Windows looks like.

I'm pretty sure it involves slimy tentacles reaching into all your private areas/data.

Budweiser pisswater is not the extent of our alcohol-producing abilities. That's just so people can sit and watch NASCAR or football for hours while continuously drinking without getting too drunk. But like anyone else, sometimes we just like to get trashed, and we definitely got the shit that will take care of that quickly.

I thought it was "I turned on the gas and blew up my ass."?

Even if you design it yourself completely from scratch?

Reminds me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number#Illegal_primes

Information should be free.

Can you just imagine being like, 20, and some assholes nab you and basically steal your entire young adulthood from you for no fucking reason?

Yes, I know this happens in US prisons all the time but it still sickens me.

unless we're wrong about the whole speed of light thing

Technically, if we could reach relativistic speeds close to the speed of light, the trip could be very short for the crew. Just don't expect to ever be able to see anyone you knew back home ever again. We can do just fine on sub-FTL tech if the crew accepts the consequences. We can use very high ISP continuous propulsion methods like the Orion nuclear bomblet and pusher plate concept, or beefed up ion engines, or lasers pushing a solar sail, etc.

Get a box of 50 flags from Aliexpress for $5, sell them for $10 each. He might not be stupid.

I'm sure my skills in Linden Scripting Language from my time on SL way back in the day might come in handy someday...

And as with anything, there are exceptions:

One of the rare ones that CAN control the pitch of the blades. You don't see this often because it greatly increases cost, weight, and complexity for not that much benefit.

Debian

As long as you're not using the distro's 5 year old version of 3D printer slicing software with ancient printer models in it and go for the newest appimage/flatpak instead (just dealt with this last night).

It depends on the industry. I install electronic security systems, and I'm on construction sites quite a lot. 95% of the white guys there are MAGA fans, and often talk shit about the very same Latino workers that are working alongside them hanging drywall. They won't do it openly. They'll wait until they're in a group of only white dudes or scribble slurs on the walls of the portable toilets.

It sickens me sometimes how they'll punch down on someone while not being that much better off than them.

On his War Room podcast on Friday, Bannon referred to tech leaders like Musk as “on the spectrum” and incapable of taking criticism.

“The nerds don’t take criticism,” he said. “They’re kind of, you know, they’re a little bit all on the spectrum, right? They don’t know– they’re not deep in social skills.”

The 4chan basement neckbeards vs. the traditional old racist rednecks. As someone on the spectrum myself, this is going to be both fun and cringey to watch.

Also, I'm pretty sure they can't do shit about encapsulated data, such as VPN traffic.

2001. Was 19 still living at home when my Dad switched us to something called "@home" broadband, which became Comcast a couple years later. I do remember being blown away by seeing images load almost instantly on a web page.

That was also the last year I remember using Netscape Navigator as a daily driver. It was IE for the next four years until I switched to Firefox, and have been using that ever since. Yes, IE blows, but Navigator was starting to become a bloated mess as it started to suffer from feature creep trying to win people back.

He turned the whole "whoa dude" stoner stereotype into a career. He's amused by any idea that sounds good on the surface. He's not that deep.

That was just the excuse. Ukraine is a mineral-rich breadbasket. They had stuff Russia wants. Simple as that. Just like the US invading Iraq had nothing to do with "spreading democracy".
