  • No jokes aloud? Sorry ill keep it to pure facts for the fuckin cunts like you🤣

  • Thank you, i had a feeling the title was misleading so i looked it up before seeing your reply. 9.6 million Israelis times 40 is 384,000,000. The population of US 348,000,000. Swear to fuck I couldnt make up better stats to mislead with lol

    I mean initially it was a gut feeling based on rough knowledge of US pop totals and the geographic size of Isreal but I about spit my tit out when put the actual numbers together lol.

  • 100% unfounded by stats or research but used to party with this semi-regional circus from my home town and its not a real sword theyre swallowing. From about 3-4 feet away its noticeable but you gotta look closely. The most dangerous part is getting caught by your friends training away your gag reflex lol. The sword isnt sharp or pointy in the slightest, they can be either hollow or such a light material/metal that they flex like a mofo. And, this is what the dudes like stage punchline was, its really hard to choke on something anyone can easily pull out.

    So hear me out kids, next time you're thinking of swallowing golfballs or tide pods, take the safer route and swallow a sword!

    P.S. To answer you subsequent risk management research, DO NOT TRY TO SPIT FIRE! YOU WILL BURN TO DEATH WHILE CHOKING!

  • Honestly what isnt a bad approach, buying one used from a hobbyist. You get the full run down of the machine, rarely with a sales pitch and they arent afraid to tell you what theyre selling is NOT what you should be looking for. You also arent, normally, going to be buying a machine with tons and tons of miles on them. Most find craigslist because the machine's owner upgraded or realized how long its been on a shelf for. Never bought 3d printer but have bought tons of tools like my cnc router, 2 desktop lathes, laser cutter and press brake, all small models I found not really needing them but always looking out for them.. I learn more just going to look at them than i do running them loljkjk. Ive ran into this buying used cars too. There is a weird niche of things that cost so much new that most buying them are die hard hobbyists or trying to start a job shop. Either way they know so much about the machine youre buying amd love telling you everything they did with it.

  • So theyre hetting rid of the last bit hop3 of supply and demand. This is the exact shit the clearance aisle was made for. Price to the market and what ypu over buy or over price, must come down tp protect from cost of money being accrued from stale inventory.

    Which brings us to a landmark:

    1. The middle class shrinking at unrecoverable rate.
    2. Privatly owned bussnesses about entirely bought up by corporate aquisitions.
    3. The gap between the corporate chief officer and the employees who make their machine run is too large to catch up to by any individual not in the securities, equity and insurances industry.
    4. While they couldve been using AI to automate the menial time consuming so boring a toddler could do it roles, corporate America cant see that far from their char to know what those jobs are anymore....
    5. They insread looked at their financial sheet and stuffed it into the area of every business that has no hope of on paper showing a roi, which is customer support.

    Its like bingo for the 2050 american version of the French Revolution. A perfect dome of miserable enduser consumers complaining to the empty voidvthat was customer service, anout the void in their empty wallets because the board members who laid their entire skilled workforce off for unionizing ... is the samr faceless board who laid you off.

    No middle class✅️. Unfathomably wealthy Bourgeois who are .05% of population✅️, who legally bribed the politicians thru lobbying✅️, protecting them from any and all consequences✅️, all thr while fires from the social unrest continue to burn✅️ VIVA LA REVELUCION!!! or however the fuck you spell it

  • That is far from the universal standard especially for non-s&p500 companies who compete against the prices set by the s&p500 companies. In competative markets/industries the importing party doesnt always have controll over when their order ships and what the tariff rates will be at time of shipment. It takes 3-6 months for large import orders to be dwlivered with landed price adjustments. The list price isnt going to fluctuate with every penny movement. The price is dictated by the market price and share of market a company holds. So a lot of times the tariff shock isnt going to find its way to the list price in any less than 3-6month time span. To reiterate, this is for products in a competative market. Your iphones, pc parts, game consoles are not competstive markets. The pipe fitting valve (PVF) industry is a v9mpetative industry. Hundreds of mfgers, accross hundreds if not thousands of skus

  • At this point of the corpo america shitshow we live in, im just happy that a company owns up to a fuck up and makes an effort to regain consumer confidence.

    Holy shit HP isnt just a quick way of writting: Hewlett-Packard - THEYRE NOT EVEN THE SAME COMPANY...

  • I read into this the first time i wore noise cancelling headphones shooting. They were such a leap in technology and efficiency I had to find out how it was done.

    To this day I feel like its one of the most amazing technological performances ive ever experienced. It was the first time i could appreciate the sheer speed that pcb's can process information and react. My head is resting on the stock of a rifle and in the nano second it takes for the gunshot's sound waves to hit the external microphones, they instantly process the sound, identify it as a hazardous wavelength, and activat the sound surpressing function, ALL BEFOR THE SOUND WAVE TRAVELS FROM THE OUTER SHELL OF THE EARMUFFS TO YOU EARDRUM.

    Even after i r3ad how they work i refused to accept it. I was hellbent convinced they worked like check valves where it had to be mechanical. The soundwave hit the floating ball and force it to seal off the inner microphone of thr headphones. NOPE dead wrong lol

  • As a life long state of New York resident, TIL: New Yorker = citiots (nyc peeps)

  • Not an electronic but the tool that shocked me how often i use it for electronics builds: dremel

    Thing is like a whole fuckin metal fab shop in one and excellent quality too.

  • Good shit! Thanks for clearing that up!

  • techsupport @lemmy.world

    Why dont emulators come with included game/shader caches or on the rom side, why arent shaders included with those files?

  • Horribly in wny. More guns got stolen but even the ones stolen didnt offset the amount of useless antique guns that got traded in for the same cash as an AR. There is a reason you can not get any statistics from NY on the SAFE act even with FOIL requests.

  • Bunch of "idc" tossed around this thread but i feel like that is natural for anonymous thread pf anonymous people and the difficulty applying the question to real life.

    Yes, but not so much that I care about either person's wellbeing or the quality of their character. Relationship characteristics are simply very telling information for how a person operates. It can put information upfront for all to see without the people really knowing it. Things like what they value, what they have patience for or lack, good insight as to their goals for life.

    And im not saying any of this comes from a pass on the sidewalk. The info that is valuable comes from listening to what the person has to say, either on social media or asking them how the family/life is going. So my opinion isnt about caring who fucks who but when it comes to co-workers, superiors, individuals you are paying to provide service (as in financial advisor, consultant, real estate agent, etc.) and anyone else who affects your wellbeing and are also close enough proxy to hear about who their dating - those are the people I observe.

    A person can tell you that they are lying by the movement of their pupil. So how they navigate thru dating and relationships can be an encylopedia of information if you want it to be.

  • Ive never fucked with VR personally and always like to have a grasp on something by fucking around with my own equipment before I ever offer to help or consult someone on their own projects. It is on my perpetually long todo list of shit I wanna do or check out someday tho.

  • No shit. I love hearing something ive stressed about is nearly a non-factor!

  • This is outside of the context of the ppst but to me, especially with a game like gran turismo 4 that looked beatiful on a ps2, idk why anyone needs 4k. The only time I notice a difference and can even appreciate it, is for live sports broadcasts like nfl and nhl in live action. Moreso with hockey than football in the ability to see pucks ripping around the ice. Good shit tho thanks for the info.

  • Ask Electronics @discuss.tchncs.de

    Hypothetically, to build a god-tier 270-360 degree screen coverage racing simulator with 4k 165ish hz refresh rate monitors, would a single RTX 5090, be enough to run 3 or 4 monitors?

  • Hahaha I love the scene from lower decks where all the ensigns are doing their best engine impersonations and the show's first officer (cant think of his characters name right meow) passes by and thinks theyre all posessed and starts tackling them🤣.

  • Crows are everywhere. Ducks are only around bodies of water. Crows was used because of their large span of regions they are native to.

  • Fuck this asshole writing the story. Ive had my account suspended 10 mins after creating the account because you cant message or track orders bought on guest account option so i created a throw away account AFTER paying for the order so i could track it. If someone fucking pays you for something, its none of your fucking business why theyre suspended, you either ship them the product or return their fucking money. There is no scenario where you get to keep their money and keep the product without being the entire piece of shit of the encounter. Do that shit to me and ill take the whole thing to small claims and ruin your fuckin credit until you pay back what you fuckin stole.

    Could I quaranteen a program like VSCode on my pc to test that the USB setup I'm putting together to be used as part of meeting will work seamlessly?

    How does Minitool Partition Wizard or similar software able to wipe the drive its installed on.

    YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.

    Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong?

    The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities.

    F*ckin Android update on my ZFold5 removed the setting options to independently set the home screen grid and the cover screen grid size.

    Have you ever seen something so crazy and against everything you know of a topic, you had to know more about it?

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    I used to get annoyed at all the permission requests from Snapchat over and over again. Ever since the enshittification movement tho, I've been groomed to appreciate their transparency.
