Ok but that pigeon thats writing threatening notes does sound suspicious ngl

Pathetic, I have relatives with more guns than that. And I think most gun owners probably have more ammo than that.

The bulbs generally contain around 10 LEDs arranged in series, so if any one of them fails, the bulb no longer works. Also they are generally not cooled well, and the heat leads to faster failures.

If you have a dead one around, pry it open and you’ll likely see some slightly charred or discolored plastic and also one LED with a tiny charred spot.

Seems like it would be easy enough to mitigate both of those problems with basic design improvements, but cheap design causing early failure is sort of a win/win from the mfg perspective.

“Crisis actors” is one of the stupidest conspiracy theories. It’s like they want to do straight up denial, but they can’t, so they do whatever this is instead. It’s like if flat earthers just posted compilations of random parking lots and said “hmm very interesting”

A minor point, but I’m glad that it’s on LinkedIn. My entire feed is full of 2nd/3rd degree people “standing with israel” and whatnot so they can “virtue”-signal for any future Raytheon job. Absolute amoral worms, but they know which side is hiring. Glad to see at least one lanyard-american going against the grain.

You would think he’d learn after backing the 40 baby decapitation story

I tend to agree, but the military is younger & browner than the rest of the country, so I wouldn’t completely rule it out either.

Look at South Africa. One state for everyone, equal rights, equal votes. That thought will be so repellent to many that they would rather leave, and good riddance to them.

Not that I as some western internet rando have some unique insight into how things can/should be resolved, just the opposite: some of this is so obvious that even a distant and privileged dummy like me can see it

Look, unless they were personally convicted at Nuremberg, who can say who was a nazi?

Who can say if he made the best decisions he could with the information and opportunity available to him?

Based on results obviously he didn’t lol. And plenty of others grew up in the same environment and didn’t do this.

And where do you draw the line anyway? Elon musk was born into his position and reinforced with all the prevailing attitudes in society, is it also not his fault for being a fascist shithead? Everyone is just helplessly following their predetermined path? Seems undialectical. Maybe it’s my predetermined path to have a sensible chuckle when nazis get got.

If you have some bottomless christ-like empathy for your enemies, then good for you I guess. I think it sounds exhausting and pointless. I still have far more empathy for them than they have for me, that’s the best I can manage personally.

Yeah, thats all true, but utimately he made his own decisions, and the world is now slightly better off without him in it.

F-35 experiences unplanned autonomous landing at unknown location after a little mixup.

What was the initial disagreement?

Powerful energy

Just go outside and seize the beans of production, obviously, just look at this diagram

Extremely small if true

hostile to people who hold different opinions than theirs.

Which opinions?

It’s not like he’s working an assembly line, all his actual work is done by staffers, who also take care of all his personal and medical needs: driving him around, making all his meals, and literally wiping his ass. He’s basically in free hospice care, probably a much better life than retiring would be.

And at that point, some will realize it was mostly luck that got them there, and become reasonably normal. Ohers will double down on their belief in meritocracy, which all of society has been reinforcing, especially in big tech and startup culture. That belief in meritocracy is the cornerstone of all reactionary politics.
