He is a finn, what do you expect from him?

Continued use of the swastika in his military and a stubborn refusal to acknowledge how many Soviets the Finns starved to death in Leningrad while working with the Third Reich, presumably.

Who isn’t racing out the door at 5pm? I trade labor for wages, I’m not sticking around for unpaid overtime just to make some investor who’s never worked a day in his life even richer.

I’m sure he’ll think real hard about what he’s done on the way home. Maybe even dry his tears with the truckloads of money and munitions Harris is complicit in handing him without reservation to commit genocide with.

Their sluggish state-owned enterprises which merely build 10,000km of high speed rail in 5 years, compared to our innovate, profit-driven corporations which have laid 7km of high speed rail in 20 years.

The goat pastures call to us all.

US:

The issue is that profit-driven hospitals will look at a model that can greatly assist in diagnosing certain things and go “Cool, we can fire those specialists and have some pre-med run the model and make an accurate diagnosis”.

I nearly had a heart attack until I read the word “ARM” at the end.

It seems like ARM Arch is doomed for whatever reason.

Either Trump is an existential threat that requires the strongest possible response, or he’s just another corrupt asshole in a country dominated by others like him.

And before you go “but America doesn’t do that sort of thing!”, I’d encourage you to look up Fred Hampton.

Everything takes a decade to actually take effect and accomplish anything notable.

On an unrelated note, political control swings wildly on a pendulum between two parties, one of which dismantles anything good ever and the other of which stands by and lets them do it while ensuring that bad things continue unobstructed so they can hurt more people.

This is a good and functional system, and should not be immediately burned to the ground. I am very smart.

Out of curiosity, what’s it cost to fly to China, grab a long-term hotel room, and get treatment there for a foreign national?

Nothing improves morale like the on-call having to unfuck production for the third time that hour because mUh VeLoCiTy decided code review and testing in CI was too slow.

Techbros are fucking cultists.

1. Glance at wallet.
2. Cry.
3. Realize that you only have 8GB of soldered RAM.
4. Cry even harder.

There’s a top surgery joke in here somewhere, I can feel it.

If you want to support your favorite artists, buy their merch while at one of their live shows. That’ll put literal orders of magnitude more cash in their pocket than streaming their music ever would, and you get a dope ass t-shirt out of it.

I can’t wait to watch them do this and then realize that a solid 2/3rds of modern electronics have a RISC-V chip in them somewhere because they’re cheap as fuck and dependable so long as you don’t need cutting edge performance.

“I’ll have it figured out by lunch, probably.”

You have to sell a new phone every 12-18 months, because otherwise the shareholders eat you alive for not chasing infinite profits. You have to differentiate your new phone from your last phone, even if there are no meaningful changes to be made and the last phone was good enough for everything anyone would ever use it for (as was the one before it, and the one before that, and etc etc). You have to push for people to buy the new phone, because otherwise you don’t make money.

So you tell the engineers to bump up the clock speeds on the processor 5-10% so you can market it as being faster. You market the phone as being revolutionary for using the USB connector that was forced on you by regulators because your proprietary one was filling landfills with e-waste and pretend like it was your brilliant idea all along. You make sure to limit that USB connector to speeds that were outdated 10 years ago purely so you have a built-in ‘upgrade’ for your next phone where you fix the thing that shouldn’t have been a problem to begin with.

And then you realize your phone overheats because you overclocked the processor, all to squeeze extra performance out of a chip that 99.9999999999% of users will never notice or need. You’ve made the user experience of your phone worse purely so you could pursue an untenable goal of endless profit, a pattern you will repeat every 12-18 months for the rest of eternity or until the climate wars claim your life.

Only the most sane and functional economic system.

The description is going to be out of date. The AR rifles were designed with bleeding edge materials, which bit it in the ass initially because the materials didn’t match up to the intended specs. Things have gotten a lot better since then and ARs are just as reliable and usable as AKs.

The answer is that the eagles are theologically angels in LotR and both sapient and very susceptible to the Ring, and having a flying Sauron-replacement is not an improvement.
