The cloud givith and the cloud taketh

Disenfranchised minorities. I mean the Panthers literally started California gun control.

Though I think more gun control is no doubt better for society.

Nah it’s 7% now.

Absolutely bonkers. I refinanced at 2.5%, but the rate now would nearly double my monthly payment.

This is not great at all. You’ll just have pseudo “news” organizations fill the void.

Your crazy uncles won’t stop sharing articles, but instead of coming from Fox News, they’ll be coming from AI spin-offs of infowars and AI Epoch times.

The left needs to own healthy masculinity and properly address very legitimate issues that disproportionally hurt boys in our society.

Otherwise we will lose a whole generation to toxic male role models in the manosphere.

It 100% is more tax efficient and effective than going through the judicial system for every single warrant they want to execute. Can’t blame them for that.

Are least in California, we have better ways of deploying solar that’s more economical. The issue of storage and transmission is a much bigger problem than generation.

We actually have too much solar sometimes. It’s quite counter intuitive. The grid is a fickle beast.

Yes, it's exactly that. They also tap into the "rust-belt" decay along with the sense of economic nihilism of former GDR eastern states(Especially in Thuringia, Saxony). They started specifically as a right-wing Eurosceptic party during the time I was living in Germany in 2013. Even then, it was clear they were attracting some of the more dangerous far-right factions that has been "shut out" of the political system in Germany due to how the voting system works.

They very much toe the line, however, the party has gotten more extreme over the years, especially those in Saxony and Thuringia. People like Hocke does get charged for violating anti-nazism rules, but somehow is still quite influential in the AfD as they have failed to oust him in the past. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rn_H%C3%B6cke

Devils advocate, most off the shelf mass market electronics are actually quite reliable. Having custom made hardware often means poor firmware support, extreme costs, and difficult to debug.

Nothing wrong with using off the shelf electronics, especially since the interior of the submarine is atmospheric pressure.

Honestly, they are pretty damn stressed devices though.

If you think about it, they are on 24/7, with active usage at least 4-6 hours a day, exposed to god knows what humidity, unknown low and high temps, dropped every x days. It’s a modern technological miracle that they last as long as they do. Lots of read and writes with photo and video backups.

My 5 year old X died a month back (flash memory failed), I was actually impressed that it lasted that long.

Why….. I grew up on free and reduced lunches. The return on investment here is immense.

Derisive term for communist authoritarian who support left wing ideology and also state violence to maintain their power.

Common themes include whitewashing Mao and Stalin history, and dismissing current state sanctioned violence against minorities in “communist” countries.
