  • Amazing attitude

    Jump

  • This seems like an infinite step up from having to be in the office for 60-80 hours a week just to look impressive, while accomplishing little after the 35 hour mark. I would take this lady's position in a heartbeat.

  • License Free, Encrypted, Off-Grid, Decentralized Mesh Network Comms: A full guide on how to get started with LoRa devices and Meshtastic

    Jump

  • I have a question about how easy the signal is to block. I live in a somewhat mountains, densely forested area. Do devices need to have direct line or sight to communicate? Wanted to set this up as a potential back up communication source for grid outages and keep a device in each car.

  • Column: Jack Smith's latest push to get Donald Trump's Jan. 6 trial moving before the election

    Jump

  • They're working for something better than money. Exposure! Don't you know working for such a big name will do better things for their career than money! At least, that's what they tell artists.

  • 4000ac solar farm in Texas devastated by hailstorm

    Jump

  • That is fair, I would call that a bit of perspective, bit not unfair perspective. Yes, it did take significant disasters to make the mistakes apparent, so who's to say if anybody would've noticed or how much of a problem they would've been.

  • 4000ac solar farm in Texas devastated by hailstorm

    Jump

  • Not a problem. To me, nuclear power is the answer to the mantra of "technology will solve the climate crisis," and we've had it for years, yet we're too afraid to use it!

  • 4000ac solar farm in Texas devastated by hailstorm

    Jump

  • Nuclear powerplants are so safe that they've only had a handful of (admittedly disastrous and high profile) failures, and have killed less people per watt hour generated than even wind and solar power. Nuclear power is the safest, cleanest, most efficient form of green energy we can get right now. Yes, it can be dangerous if not managed properly. But Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island were not freak accidents. Deliberate mistakes were made that were known at the time and should be used as warnings to keep the industry safe, not as sirens that lead is to swear off nuclear energy.

  • Liz Cheney warns U.S. can't 'survive' another Donald Trump presidency

    Jump

  • I don't understand. Is this a comment on Trump, Cheney, or the average voter?

  • Liz Cheney warns U.S. can't 'survive' another Donald Trump presidency

    Jump

  • I'm just saying you don't want to trade the swamp king for the swamp princess. That was just an example of the things Liz Cheney believes in.

  • Liz Cheney warns U.S. can't 'survive' another Donald Trump presidency

    Jump

  • You don't want Liz Cheney's help. This isn't an enemy of my enemy situation, or a lesser of two evils. You'd be trading one bad for a different but equally bad. You want to go back to Iraq and Afghanistan? She'd put us back in Iraq and Afghanistan if she could.

  • Lego instructs California police department to stop using Lego heads to mask identities of suspects

    Jump

  • Really early on, with the original castle sets, where all the wall pieces were yellow. I believe the space sets were the first grey bricks.

  • Lego instructs California police department to stop using Lego heads to mask identities of suspects

    Jump

  • The LEGO group has always been protective of their brand and nervous about being associated with potentially violent content, turning down a partnership with the Halo games because of that. For years, they didn't want to make grey bricks because they were afraid kids would use them to build tanks. All this to say, this seems pretty on brand for the LEGO group.

  • Knowledge Based Rules

    Jump

  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance fits this bill, I think. I haven't played any of the games listed yet, so I can't compare.

  • Games rule

    Jump

  • Minecraft Dungeons. I was grinding ancient mob runs.

  • Games rule

    Jump

  • Killing hundreds of zombies, skeletons, creepers, and Illagers, not so I can save the villagers they wrongly imprisoned, but so I can get that one specific gilded sword.

  • Anon tries to be funny

    Jump

  • I dunno, this kind of meta commentary could easily accomplish both, if executed well. Shows that you're thinking of things in terms of overall social norms and trends, and figuring out how to present that idea in front of a crowd in an approachable way. I still think that the delivery is the most important aspect of this idea, though, as a piece of comedic satire.

  • Anon tries to be funny

    Jump

  • Delivery is everything. This is a great idea, but if the person was too socially awkward to nail the timing or tone, I could easily see how this idea could flop.

  • Exploits of a Mom

    Jump

  • I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no evidence that anybody has ever named a child la-a. My mom used to tell this story all the time, and I believed her for years that this was a real name until I googled it and read up on it. The name is an old urban legend that may pre date Internet lore.

  • We need a climate corps, not more military missions

    Jump

  • Because the US military is a heavily politicized institution now, and if we try to spend money that even slightly departs from the way Congress wants, they quickly step in and make a media spectacle of it, talking about how we've gone woke. It's why we can't get the electric vehicles we've been talking about buying for years, why we can't get rid of the planes we want to, and why we end up with ridiculously expensive procurement projects that we basically don't want by time they're all said and done.

  • Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

    Jump

  • Did not know this fork exists. Thank you for enlightening my day, Internet stranger.
