Individuals aren't just archtypes so there's lots of aspects to an individual, but when you get right down to it, I think that's what ended up working in nature.

Every time I see [blocked], I know it's solely because someone disagreed with what I said, and it makes me laugh that someone is so affected by mere arguments they dislike.
Imagine being in a world so small, you think it needs to be inhabited only by people who agree with you completely.

I found that bing felt borderline retarded when I tried it. The big problem I saw was that it changed what I said to become a better search query, and seemed to respond to the simplified query instead of what I actually asked.
That suuuuucks.
The one bad thing about SSDs is that when they fail, they tend to fail catastrophically. Contrasting hard drives which tend to have a slow burn so you can get out of dodge in time.
(I should really get the automated backups running on my systems this weekend...)

As I recall, this came out around the same era as the peak of nerd rap too. Great time to enjoy nerdy rapping.
"Coal dust on my hands
The darkness of night descends
Winter fuels aglow."
NO YOU FOOL, IT NEEDS TO BE ABOUT THE GLORY OF THE REVOLUTION!
"Mighty revolution
Coal mine workers' glory shines
Fueling progress strong."

I think I hopped into google streetview in singapore and was surprised to see all the street names looked like not just english script, but very english names.
That's really odd. Pretty sure it takes less time than that for me to compile, and my invidious machine is an atom d2550
Picked up a full on trauma kit (first aid kit with extra trauma stuff) when the little one was born, because that's the worst nightmare I can imagine.
Tim pool sold me on the pascal's wager of prepping -- if you never need it it's worthless, but if you ever need it it's priceless so pay a couple hundred bucks during the good times just in case.

The internet is under attack around the world, and it's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.
They'll turn it into Disney world: a highly regulated, highly corporate, fake plastic wasteland where you're free to consume and nothing else.

We compete with shittier products all the time. That's part of the power of capitalism, that you buy the product you actually need rather than the platonic ideal of the product, then you can pay less and use less resources so you can spend those resources on something else you need instead. You could buy a desk calculator with an i9 inside, but sometimes you just want a desk calculator.
There's a market for inexpensive city cars, but they're straight-up illegal in most cases because they're not like an internal combustion engine automobile and the laws are set up for those vehicles. Just deregulate city cars, make it easy to build, own, buy, use, not by paying a bunch of money, but by getting government out of the way, and lots of people who aren't in the market for a full automobile (and many people who are but don't need something fancy for their morning commute) could suddenly get their hands on them.
I'm convinced that you could build something fit for personal travel in a part of a city you live in that's weather proof and relies on stuff that's already commonplace, and get the BOM down the the point that you could sell it for around 5 grand or less. Relax insurance requirements while you're at it, since a little 5 grand city car isn't going to have the same capacity to damage anything or anyone as a full size automobile.
But no, we need to build EVs that are equivalent to ICE cars and cost many times as much and aren't practical to drive to the next city because that's what everything is set up to expect, particularly legally.

The concept of using already existing technologies in smart ways won't make anyone rich, so it is laughable -- nobody is going to go along with something that could change things but won't line the pockets of politicians or megacorps.
It's actually easy, but we need to temper our expectations. You could have an EV revolution if we could build a city car that costs a fraction of the cost of an automobile and doesn't go very fast and doesn't go terribly far, but everything is piled against what is a practical solution.
