You can print silicone. You can print molds then pour your material. It’s a process, sure. Part of the intrigue for me. But it can be done.

Wait, so it’s ok to brainwash as long as you’re “good”?

You are little bit misguided on point 2.

Fragmentation grenades are designed to throw shrapnel in “all” directions. A majority of them will be up from the point of the floor however there are plenty of fragments that will still be thrown laterally across the floor.

That being said you would have a higher chance of survivability laying on the floor behind something.

Good question. Here is a quote from NOAA

A map of the anthropogenic CO2 ocean column inventory shows that the carbon is not evenly distributed in space. More than 23% of the inventory can be found in the North Atlantic, a region covering approximately 15% of the global ocean. By contrast, the region south of 50°S represents approximately the same ocean area but only has ~9% of the global inventory.

The site above also explains the life cycle of CO2 in the earth’s oceans.

Good information and REAL numbers.

The oceans have plenty of CO2, the stuff that makes soda fizzy. The ocean is actually one of the largest CO2 sinks on earth. The ocean also has plenty of bubbles to make it “fizzy”, but there is a fuckton more volume of liquid that you don’t get the fizz like a soda as a general rule. So not quite flat as you say.

The kernel is the brains of the any Linux OS. It has access to every aspect of your system. Which is why they (EA) wants access. I would like to think you wouldn’t put a device in your brain to have some 3rd party to monitor your entire body for bad actors.

Having this level of access to your system would allow them to see all the processes and files, scan them and create a fingerprint that’s linked to your account. With the levels of violations that all governments are conducting in our lives it would be a small feat for EA to divulge this fingerprint for not only their own profits, directed ads and marketing, but anyone who would ask including government entities.

That is only one level. One other aspect is performance hits. Adding this kernel level monitoring will also take clock cycles away from your real needs. Slowing down and interrupting the functions of your system potentially breaking things. This along with adding attack vectors for other nefarious actors to penetrate your system and take full control.

You are correct I do have a choice not to use their poorly implemented code. And I definitely will never use it. The final point I will add is if this were to happen it becomes a slippery slope for other companies to add their own kennel level “security” code. All you have to do is look at any other system. Next thing you know the last light of OS freedom will be extinguished.

Speak for yourself. I’d rather shit companies no matter how big or small not be a part of the Linux ecosystem. Do I want development absolutely but not at the sacrifice of core values. EA is a shit company. Full Stop. They have nothing good to provide.

The mass majority of parents don’t parent. This is a different problem than the government is trying to fix. My first introduction to this was when NWA was causing a ruckus and got white christian womens panties in a kerfuffle that led to parental advisory labels on music.

Ultimately having the government force age ID isn’t about parenting. Its a pathway to further, easier surveillance on the public under the guise of “protecting the children”.

Obviously every device will be required to have both

1. An always on camera for facial recoog, recounting of wrinkles using AI

2.Always on microphone for voice age analysis through stress levels using AI

3. Running the only safe and super duper secure operating system Microsoft AI.

If you don’t have all three it’s an automatic 3 strikes felony offense and you’re sent straight to labor camps for the rest of your existence no AI needed (silver lining right? Riiiight)

Duh.

I have moved all my switches to Inovelli. The recently came out with light switches with mmwave imbedded that automatically run my kitchen dinning dimmable lights. They work with dumb/smart lights ceiling fans. They have signed and zwave. They are made in USA so if you are against that then I would recommend Shelly they are pretty solid devices too.

If you eat like shit, that info can be sold to health providers, insurance for that sweet sweet premium increases too.

I don’t believe you can visually identify asbestos in paint and or other materials. There may be indicators but to be sure you need it tested.

In my neck of the US, I was required to take samples to a lab for testing prior to dumping during a remodel. Think it was about 135 for exterior paint and plater/drywall. Check your local regulations.

Not sure about an icon or flag to depict the idea of announcing Hey I’m For Privacy!! Feels like it goes against the whole principle. It’s along the same lines of stickers on a vehicle, stick family tells (most times) exactly how many people and animals w/types are within the household, gun logos indicate a high probability of an abundance of weaponry, a privacy flag may promote someone to look deeper into you with the premise well they want privacy so they must have something to hide, mentality. I’m private I don’t need to draw attention to me being private. But you do you. Just my opinion.

How so?? It looks like he’s looking at the back of his hand?

That was a good attempt at minimizing the effects of someone of this stature making a statement like this.

It’s a public statement saying to the extremely devout religious members that the high officials condone the deaths of these Nations people.

I mean it always has been okay. But now it’s even more okay. Again.

Kinda like the high officials of these nations did to their military. So it’s all balance right?

But it’s not cause the religious extremist will attack soft targets intentionally.

Completely relate. It’s frustrating watching someone LARP something you take pride in. Absolutely nothing wrong with disliking the guy for his actions. And hell, you can still not like him for this, with the knowledge he’s not really in the wrong. This time.

V2V Respect.

Tradition sure. Most people don’t. But they most assuredly can and do. I speak as the person who had to give a death by power point to my company due to a soldier in our unit getting into a scuffle with a civi that saluted during reveille and as per tradition PowerPoint/education based on history and regulations was the answer for preventive measures.

The only reason I even spoke to this now is the “stolen valor” aspect you presented initially and to inform the rest of the people that feel this is awkward for just anyone to do.

The truly awkward part is the way most do the “military” salute wrong. American or otherwise. I’d say it’s a tell tell sign of them not being in the military but there are plenty of soldiers that don’t do it correctly either so :shrug:

So misinformed. Civilians absolutely can and do salute. They have since the beginning of time. It is a sign of respect and acknowledgement. Whether a full fledged “military” style salute or a hand wave like the royals and civilians do or a tip of the hat like “cowboys” do. There is no implied “stolen valor” if a civilian wants to salute another civilian or a person in the military or of high position.

And of course you can choose not to salute like I assume you do.

Edit: this in no way should imply I support the people in this article. Just stating facts

Every damned spreadsheet should have the header locked so that you can quickly know what you are looking at after row 25. You can’t change my mind.
