I think you’re not wrong about modular being the ideal result but at the end of the day that’s… Kind of what we already have if you take a look at construction materials.

Not every part of a house needs utilities everywhere. Water, electrical, gas, HVAC, they all need to be specific about where they are and how they go there.

The parts that can be modular already kind of are. You buy kits for everything, modular toilet, modular flush valve in the toilet, modular sink, modular door, standard modular size, modular knob on the modular door because the client wants X door and Y knob, and Z marble top to their C color sink, modular top that fits modular sinks that fits modular handles.

Have you ever replaced a knob? You just go and buy a knob and it magically fits. Replace an HVAC vent? One of two standard sizes usually.

Modular shower with modular hookups to modular water. Everything to modular common specs.

Practically everything is already kinda plug in and screw together.

The thing is… None of this solves cheap housing we need. At best it makes it way easier to replace common parts that break, but even the cheapest replacements are expensive costs to the home owner. It’s money you didn’t intend on spending, surprise expenses.

And if it’s not, it’s luxury remodels. Which aren’t really at all related to solving the housing crisis. That makes a cheap home more expensive. And you have to understand while it makes a ton of sense to upgrade your property and investment… Almost any sensible homeowner is looking to do that and take a cheap home off the market and replace it with a less cheap or even expensive one.

there is very little capitalistic drive to build cheap homes. There’s a drive to build new luxury homes and upgrade cheap homes to less cheap. Modular exists, and it can help you do both of those things which isn’t creating cheap housing. It’s kind of just fucked imo. You need subsidies for cheap housing.

Why does she give off 👽 vibes

Reminds me of the alien in American dad playing a new part, what he looks like with a wig and makeup on

lol tons of modern drugs are derived from research into traditional medicine.

I don’t read it that way. If some senator like him was well known for straight casual sex and had famous stories about buying services from escorts, you could replace dick with pussy and it works out the same

About 6am when the alcohol hangover begins and you cant sleep so you hop in the shower and the steam loosens up your nostrils and you start feeling it a bit again but you have a headache and just want to fucking sleep

I always found cocaine as something that wasn’t hard to stop because it’s expensive and feels like shit quickly, and it’s way easier to remember feeling like shit for a couple hours than the 20 minutes ranting about business ideas

the “bio break” office term is a little strange to me. I am so tempted to be like “I got to take a massive bio break, give me 30”

Why did you think they called them furby? We breed them for their fur

In a “healthy” capitalist environment, they take note of who can leave without any bumps in the road and lay them off

I used to have this boss who would get mad if anyone asked for 2 weeks off. She would say, “if you think the business can survive without you for that long, why do we pay you? Don’t bother coming back then”

I thought it was a weird attempt to insult his age but not be obviously mean

Literally the only spider I’ve ever felt the urge to grab

“I just fucking LOVE paying luxury prices to help corporations data mine the universe”

When the roommates find your sketches

when did they chill out and start serving public apis

Some people try to work the weekend or weird hours, even when no one asked them to.

And a deploy by someone you don’t trust to deploy on the weekend would be a concerning situation

Guns are extremely simple devices. It’s not something you can solve with 3d printing legislation… It’s just people giving lip service to gun control IMO.

If you know how to 3d print a gun, you can easily find out how to make a zip gun with a bit of pipe, the kind you’d probably need to 3d print a “ghost gun” regardless.

Like ffs I saw a YouTube video or a dude getting two pieces of pipe, closing one end and putting a nail in it, then making a one shot shotgun out of cheap fucking material. You just need closed space and to hit the end of the fucking bullet. Guns are not magic. They’re simple as fuck, and hard to regulate partially because of how simple they are.

These laws are probably more for surveillance than preventing ghost guns.

Famous examples that don’t use 3d printing, the Luty guns he made as a crypto anarchist psycho trying to disseminate open source plans lol. The knowledge is very easily accessible.

… Or just don’t put it on Steam. I don’t see why this is so controversial when it protects the players far more to have the refund option.

And just because someone finished and refunded it doesn’t mean they enjoyed it. These devs complaining about people “playing it to the end” then refunding it need to realize that part of it might be their game just isn’t that good.

Never had a shitty roommate?

I would never have done this but I know shitty people who might’ve

Nah the Epstein class goes after the pineal and adrenal gland

If your game doesn’t provide more content than 2 hours that’s kinda on you IMO

And I say that as an indie game developer. Like it someone just thought it was neat to play for an hour then they were completely done touching my game… Why would I be shocked they refunded it? They might have refunded it because they expected… Dun dun dunnnn… More content?

It’s a fuck load of work to make a game. It is kinda ridiculous to go to all that trouble then just stop after making 2 hours of gameplay, like 2 hours total without even a good sandbox.
