This is it, exactly. They are going to start voting in a way that generates themselves the most future gifts, actual justice be damned.
Who do you think is going to be able to afford future gifts? Because it sure as hell isn’t going to be the little guy.
Whelp, I’d say we had a good run, but, well…
Shit.
All of that productivity and communication and they still used a bedsheet as the background…
Looks like they have a Lemmy instance, too: https://lemm.ee/c/voxelibre
Probably doesn’t matter with the amount of microplastics that car tires are shedding every day.
a car’s four tires collectively emit 1 trillion ultrafine particles — of less than 100 nanometers — per kilometer driven. https://e360.yale.edu/features/tire-pollution-toxic-chemicals
Too bad it’s been repurposed as a symbol for Christian Nationalism
Textbook ‘Suicidal Death Cult’ stuff there.
That’s great, but it doesn’t matter unless it has the physical cutoff that’s required to bring that kind of system up to the current electrical code for such a system.
That means that, yes, the rape of children is good, because that was god’s will.
This is not a god worth worshipping, then.
Yeah, non-USA for this atm, as much fun as it would be to plug such a system into an apartment.
I believe that the US requires that a direct-feed system has to plug into a physical kill switch setup to prevent back-feed of power during an outage.
Still pretty neat, though!
To add to this, I also say come up with a plan to use your stockpile so that it doesn’t just sit on the shelf for decades. Replenish what you use as you use it so that you discover that it expired long before you needed it.
I’ve also heard the recommendation for keeping a stash of simple grains and beans on hand with the intent of sharing every once and while during a crises. People are going to realize that you have a supply eventually, but if you convince them that all you have is meager offerings, the desperate are more likely to raid elsewhere for a better meal.
Oh, and I wouldn’t rely on a rain barrel without some form of filtration. There’s a bit of microplastic in every drop!
I’m still going to refer to it as “Formerly Twitter”, or “The Service Formerly Known as Twitter”.
Should have named them after Taco Bell & Doritos, honoring their work in bringing us the Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco, which has been around for 3x the time that the Confederacy lasted and arguably has had more impact.
My copy was given as a gift. I don’t recall ever seeing a link account message…
wormhole.app is the only one I’m familiar with. Both it and the file pizza in the OP were built off of webtorrent architecture.
To be fair, this one’s been around for a while and I believe it’s actually p2p, iirc. Wormhole stores your files on their servers for a little bit if they’re < 5 Gb.
Have you seen the idiots out on the road these days?
However, as far as turn signals go, this is one of the less egregious designs. Car manufacturers are given too much leeway in what is allowed for such systems, like putting them between headlights or making them use the same circuits as the brake lights instead of a dedicated light.
They’ve grown day and happy working their post-covid skeleton crews to the bone.
Why would they want to alleviate that by paying for additional salaries?
