I don’t think he meant to infer the shooter used a 5.56 or 223. I think he just wanted to flex what he knew about a rifle caliber.

You’re a bit of a dumb one, eh?

Study more history. This isn’t the thing with the most dead, the most raped, or the most cruelty, or the longest lasting. It was really fucked up, sure. But the worst thing humanity has ever done?

Hell… Religion might be the worst thing humanity has ever done.

Or hitler killing like 6 million unarmed Jews, or the other slave trades that lasted far longer, or the terrible human experiments Japan did to people during ww2, or when hundreds of black people were blocked from having their syphilis cured for 50 years because scientists just wanted to see what happens, or the tons of times entire cities would be raped and pillaged and taken over with no male child left alive… I mean, there’s been so many atrocious acts done by humanity… To actually vote and say this was the worst one is just tacky.

Acknowledged? It’s always been acknowledged. This was a vote to say it was the single worst thing ever done by humanity… Ever.

This. Not the slave trades that lasted far longer, or any of the wars or rapings or genocides or slaughtering of children or ww2 human experiments or anything else. It was a vote to say that this one thing was the shittiest thing humanity has ever done.

Everyone should have voted no. The African enslavement was really fucked up, but “the worst human attrocity in history, ever”? The world has done some really, really, fucked up things. I don’t really even know why this particular slavery would be picked out from the other slaves over thousands of years except that is was pretty recent and large scale. Why is the world even voting on this shit while on the verge of world war three, while it seems that half the rich elites running the governments are pedophiles?

I got 3 things to say on this:

If the vote was to recognize it as the worst thing humanity has done, I’d vote against. I feel like there are a couple other things that were even worse. Even only considering enslavement, out of all of history, I would have reservations against saying this was the absolute worst of it.

Every country that abstained was just against it, and didn’t have the balls to vote it.

Yeah, the US is an asshole. They’re screwing it all up across the globe and they’re also why Cuba is still fucked. Eat the rich.

For real. I floated around with Ubuntu like 15 or so years ago. Everything was learning and researching and getting things to work. Plopped Mint on my laptop a few months ago and didn’t hardly have to do a thing to figure it out. But of troubleshooting to get my VPN to run correctly on it.

It depends on their version the fcc is considering “manufactured”. If they mean it in a literal sense, there’s pretty much just starlink. If they mean it can be an American company but put together overseas then there’s plenty, like Netgear and Linksys.

A retroactive tax is pretty bullshit.

It being a one time tax with a “if you lived here 1-1-26” is also idiotic. The billionaires wouldn’t even pay. It’d just be tied up in courts for like the next 20 years.

Not beginning until you hit a billion dollars is also stupid.

It needs to start at a much lower net worth, be every fucking year, not be retroactive to a single date on the calendar that happened before the vote (cause that really is bullshit to do), and be on some sort of increasing percentage instead of just a flat 5.

The kind that can be better made with $20 and a trip to home depot?

The article says this:

“Naturally, he refused the offer and brought up Australian consumer law, which is quite similar to the European one for these matters. In a simplified form, retailers are responsible for warranty claims and must replace or refund the defective item; then they take the issue to the manufacturer. When confronted by Goran, Umart went to the trouble of quoting the Australian Consumer Law but made a seemingly byzantine and twisted interpretation of it, reiterating that a refund at the original price was the proper remedy.”

Now it totally sucks, but there isn’t the faintest blip of a bastardization or a twisting to the warranty policy refunding the amount he paid for the RAM. It says in plain text that they have to issue a refund or a replacement. It does not say the customer gets to choose whichever they want, and a refund most definitely doesn’t mean you get more back than what you paid for it.

Now what umart did next is definitely a shit move that they should be on the hook for. Keeping the ram and sending it off themselves without first checking with the customer. Umart should pay for that fuck up.

Absolutely this. I do it on a small scale already. Occasionally I’ll order one of those “highly rated” things on Amazon and it’s a total piece of shit, or comes with a card inside and it says something like “leave us a 5 star review and we’ll send you a 2nd battery for free” or some shit like that.

I’ll write a review and out them for leaving the bribery card inside, or I’ll rate a shit product a 1 star review, and sometimes the company will offer me a refund and tell me I can keep the product if I take the review down.

I’ll email them back agreeing to take the review down after I’ve been refunded the money. After I get the money I’ll update the review to provide the information about trying to bribe me to remove my review.

Once, a company tried TWICE to get me to remove my review. The dumb fucks sent me a 2nd $40 Amazon gift card. Lol

Also, one extra note: unfortunately $250,000 doesn’t even go that far. I’m not sure if this volunteer department buys most of their trucks 2nd hand or not, but for new trucks prices have drummed up so high that a Pumper (type of firetruck without the big ladder on top, that you would typically picture in you mind if you were to think of a firetruck) costs $1,000,000 or more. A ladder truck can run $2,000,000. This volunteer department has 10 trucks already. I’d guess something like one ladder truck, two or three pumpers, a couple brush truck, and two or three tanker trucks for hauling lots of water around.

Fucking raise hell and cause chaos. Age checks are bullshit. All while our government is filled with corruption and pedophiles. Maybe stop listening to such an immoral entity.

I think women drivers only wanting to pick up women is fine if thats what they want to do. That won’t negatively effect everyone else who is working. It only negatively effects your own potential at making your money.

But riders being able to select women drivers really takes a hard monetary hit against male drivers for the sake of being sexist.

At that point you’re having tax payers subsidize failing businesses that only try to collect profits over innovation. Giving more money from the poor to the rich.

Not to mention how hard you’d have to subsidize. Aside from the huge amount of money in constructing plants capable of building like China, you’d be subsidizing pay differences to a huge degree. Automakers in the US average around $30 US an hour. Chinese average $3.75 US an hour. Our two economies can’t really play together that well because the differences are so massive.

Tax the fuck out of the rich on anything over like $1.5 million a year, and close all the loopholes and the problems fix themselves. The rich and the corrupt government our the problem.

The dates are “now”

The price is irrelevant, because they aren’t for you or regular consumers. They’re already reserved and being shipped to AI data centers.

It would have been nice to know what the read\write speed was.

If your dumb fucking ass let an ai near your work AND you didn’t have any recent backups that it couldnt have access to; you’re really extra fucking stupid.

All EV batteries aren’t “a battery that size”. They’re a bunch of small batteries all strung together. The “battery that size” statement you made is pretty much meaningless.

It’s very much physically possible to charge a battery pack at mostly empty to mostly full in 5 minutes. The tech and chemical side of actually getting it done hasn’t quite officially happened yet. Battery charge\discharge rates are measured in “C”. One C is an hour for a 0 to 100% charge. So six C would be 0 to 100 in 10 minutes. That’s doable right now. You’d need 12 C for a 0 to 100% charge in 5 minutes. That hasn’t happened yet, but it’s getting pretty close. 11 C can be done to go from 0 to 80%.

Likely, BYD’s charging statement is based for the regular layman such as yourself and refers to something along the lines of a charge from 10% up to 80%.

As a side note, it’s also annoying having these “new EV battery has x amount of range” is dumb. You could get that range 20 years ago if you made the battery pack a lot bigger. What you need to know is the energy density and the size. Like 400 WH per kilogram is currently a really good capacity. Double what you could get from like five years ago.

Faaaar from just Tesla.
