Psychedelics can be amazing like that. Having gone through a similar experience with higher doses of psilocybin, I can say that the experience helped me quite a bit.

It's just getting filled up with love.

Yeah. Modern phones are awesome if you need to use every feature to its fullest. I love that I have the opinions to access my accelerometer or GPS independently. Since I do a bit of CAD work, having a high quality camera is awesome for photogrammetry. But see, there is a caveat: It's the right tool for me and worth my $1K to have an up-to-date device that has a reasonable bit of compute.

Otherwise, nah. I just got a resin 3D printer that only has a USB connector. No cloud, no wifi, no bullshit. It does its one job well and that is all I care about.

It sucks that most people are basically trained from birth that "more is better" or "brand new is better". It took me years to de-program myself from that shit.

The meaning is exactly the same. The problem is that people are not aware of what the political motivations were for the Nazis. The Nazis were known for their blatant anti-semitism, but you need to look at the bigger picture about why there are comparisons between the Nazis, Trump and Elon. Most of the comparisons are quite accurate and the term "Nazi" is more than just a dirty word.

Mildly to your point, people use the word "Nazi" when they should actually be using the terms fascist or nationalist.

What's funny, is some members of the GOP are labeling themselves as nationalists when they have no idea what it actually means. (Trump and one of the Karen's have notably done that.)

They have kinda always been a thing. Nazi's were just one flavor of nationalist, after all.

Charles de Gaulle defined nationalism best: "Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first."

For most people, it's extremely easy to blame others for problems of their own creation. By the same token, people who can't see their own shortcomings will also usually latch on to leaders who are able to amplify that bias. For the Nazis, it was mostly against the jews.

Also, what you are seeing in the news is partially amplified by the news itself but also, politicians are getting more brazen in mustering the support of those groups. This has lead to people being a little more open about something that needs to stay taboo, IMHO.

It's just the first example I could think of that involved a wearhouse, lots of machines that need to be tinkered with that use some kind of centralized management.

Essentially, it's tablet that fits in your back pocket. It would be useful to just tuck away quickly in a pocket to quickly fix a bit of filament or something.

That would explain ton about the governor of Arkansas.

It was entertaining, but it wasn't good enough to be in my top 10... or top 20.

Honestly, I am not sure who the target audience was for that movie after seeing it. It was just a mashup of plot points that tried to hit every major category for every viewer at the same time.

But... If Deadpool were to ever write a movie, that would probably be it.

There's quite a bit of backstory there. SomeOrdinaryGamers on YouTube has been digging into it and has a few videos about it. If you like internet drama, Mutahar is usually a good source.

(Someone else could probably do a better tldr than I could.)

Folding phones are still a status symbol of some kind and the actual utility of a large phone screen is lost on most owners. Once most of the R&D cost is paid off and the tech starts to plateau, it might get cheaper?

I see foldable screens as a work device. Sure, a portable movie theater would be a good perk, but it would absolutely rock as a commercial all-in-one console for a 3D printer farm or something. If there is enough commercial value in a device like that, $2k could be a bargain.

Perfect. This joke just whooshed my wife this morning.

I just used to use vodka to flavor up the tomato juice in the mornings.
