That opinion is a weird hill to die on.

Yes, and if I am not on the road there are fewer people on the road. And therefore risk is reduced.

I’ve been happy with my Supernote. It’s built to be serviceable, and the battery especially is easy to access and replace. They hope to get Linux working on it at some point, too.

That’s 525,000

You’re off by 1,000

Executives don’t have wake-up calls. They don’t know what they are.

Why executives? Executives don’t do shit.

Why are you in my shower smelling my farts?

Correct.

If I were in the middle of being mauled by wild dogs, a gun would not be very useful because I would already be getting mauled by the dogs. As others have said, pepper spray, for example, would be far more useful.

Most importantly: I would not put myself into a situation in which wild dogs would maul me. Wild dogs don’t simply show up out of nowhere and start attacking. That news article doesn’t give any detail as to how the situation began, so it’s not a useful reference.

Not for some of us.

Even under circumstances you would think might change our minds. Even then, we won’t change our minds.

Which axis - X, Y, or Z?

If you die on the hill, you’ll never know whether the next time is different.

Oh, I see what you did there. In order to make sure you believe your answer is correct, you added additional details that weren’t part of the original statement.

Cool.

Perhaps we cannot actually do the same thing twice in exactly the same way.

But we can perceive that we are doing it a second time in exactly the same way, without perceiving the differences.

So, in practice, it can be replicated within the frame of our flesh-brained awareness.

I have one Brilliant Schemer and one Beautiful Idiot, and I wouldn’t trade either of them ♥️

Final Fantasy

Oh, everything.

Got a $20m yacht? Sell it. Oh, youcre forced to sell it for $50k because nobody will give you more? That’s just the free market, clearly it’s only worth $50k.

Paid $75m to build your house? Well someone is offering you $175k and you’d better take it.

And you own a company worth $100m? No you don’t, it was already taken from you and turned into a worker-owned co-op.

After all the sales and seizures, you’ve got $23.1m in cash, and just 1m more in the bank? OK, dude, we cool.

I’d give all the billionaires the same choice:

(a) Give away everything except, say, 25 million.

(b) Guillotine.

As opposed to the kind made of actual hands?

Because they don’t fuck the leather.

That sounds like something a bot would say.
