They're going after everyone, they don't need an excuse. Fuck them, I'll be public about what I'm doing to oppose them.

It was supplied with Russian rockets before SpaceX developed reliable rockets to do it.

There are some articles about his death linked on Wikipedia but they're pretty just-the-facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kyanka

I switched to standing-only for my work desk about 12 years ago. The first 3 weeks were agony; my hips hurt so much. I stretched a lot, which helped some. Then suddenly it was easy, and ever since I can stand for hours, no problem.

A squishy mat is a must-have, and I also have a footrest to be able to change up my posture through the day.

They certainly used to. The quality has started going downhill, unfortunately. I was going to buy a new one (I had a Mission and wanted to upgrade) but the new ones weren't as good and more expensive.

I can fit so many groceries on it!

I got a used RadCity 3 last month and really like it. I'm biking more and driving less for errands and commuting.

They did a good job covering that in The Last of Us (season one, episode...4 or 5?): 20ish years post-apocalypse, someone very prepared has kept battery cells in a refrigerator (in acid maybe?) and they have to rebuild the battery before they can use the car, but the battery works.

I think he also genuinely can't comprehend anyone doing anything that isn't for personal gain.

Sometimes it's easier to stop something if you understand why it's happening.

Yeah, we really fucked up making individual wealth so powerful. A healthy society needs at least a balance of collective wealth and individual wealth, and we went way too far. And now they're trying to dismantle the last major structures of collective wealth we haven't already ruined.

 

Stop asking, "but don't they know how much harm they're doing?!" Yes. They do.

The erasure of Luigi Mangione (substack.evancarroll.com)

Right now, on Stack Overflow, Luigi Magione’s account has been renamed. Despite having fruitfully contributed to the network he is stripped of his name and his account is now known as “user4616250”.

This appears to violate the creative commons license under which Stack Overflow content is posted.

When the author asked about this:

As of yet, Stack Exchange has not replied to the above post, but they did promptly and within hours gave me a year-long ban for merely raising the question. Of course, they did draft a letter which credited the action to other events that occurred weeks before where I merely upvoted contributions from Luigi and bountied a few of his questions.

 

“Life-and-death decisions relating to patient acuity, treatment decisions, and staffing levels cannot be made without the assessment skills and critical thinking of registered nurses,” the union wrote in the post. “For example, tell-tale signs of a patient’s condition, such as the smell of a patient’s breath and their skin tone, affect, or demeanor, are often not detected by AI and algorithms.”

“Nurses are not against scientific or technological advancement, but we will not accept algorithms replacing the expertise, experience, holistic, and hands-on approach we bring to patient care,” they added.

 

I started editing Wikipedia more seriously over the last couple of months, and this video has a bunch of useful information and how-tos that I wish I had then, and some stuff that I still didn't know. I really like contributing to such a useful resource, and knowing that every little edit I make helps everybody who wants to learn about that topic!

 

A senior Trump advisor shared a video that seems to show an NBC reporter badmouthing Republican presidential candidates. It appears AI was used to imitate the reporter's voice.
