To most people, it also implies wireless backhaul.

That may not be just head cannon. The Agatha show is kinda hinting at it.

Can’t have your bad guy be that relatable. Everyone would just be cheering against the avengers.

Worse. Terminally online edgelord.

“Yay! We’ve created artificial general intelligence!”

“…Fuck, it’s an asshole.”

Well that would depend on exactly what type of experiments he’s doing.

There’s a difference between WMDs that can reach the US, and ones that can only be deployed locally. Russia has the former (and a lot of them), hence no invasion.

Exactly. More specifically, I’m not afraid of how people vote, I’m afraid of people choosing not to.

In this case, none of that applies. I do industrial programming. 99% of the ethernet networks I have to connect to don’t have a router, and nothing is running DHCP. They locked out my ability to manually change my IP address.

I encountered “lawful evil” once. My answer of “I know what the problem is. I know how to fix it. But because you have no clue about what this company actually does to make money, you took away my ability to do it. So now I’m here, wasting both our time” didn’t seem to go over very well.

Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don’t feel like paying? If you can’t answer “yes” to all these questions, you aren’t the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.

Here’s a thought: do electric cars count as automatic or the most manual cars possible? On the one hand, there’s no clutch or stick shift, but on the other hand, if you want to change gears, you have to disassemble the transmission and change out the gears.

Not sure if Fusion360 supports Linux. Only other choice I can think of is FreeCAD.

Probably just using all the various GPS systems. Unless the Russians are jamming their own system as well.

That’s what I do with all TV/Movie adaptations. Is so much easier to just sit back and enjoy when you aren’t constantly comparing it to something it’s not.

For single player games, I absolutely agree. If you’re going to stop supporting the game, send out one last patch turning off any always online DRM and let people keep playing their game.

For multiplayer games, it seems like it’s a bit more complicated. Who should be shouldering the cost to keep the game servers alive?

One example does not prove a trend.

Plus, I’m just talking about perception, not the reality of the actual political leanings of every single Carhartt customer.

Wait, Carhartt is a stereotype of the left wing now? I’ve always associated it with very blue collar, outdoors type work. The kinds of jobs that you wouldn’t typically associate with left wing extremism.

Are we using “dudes” in the non-gendered sense? Because I’ve noticed this type of behavior with women far more often than with men.

Then regulations should be put in place to ban that practice. There is no good excuse to not be on a closed loop system.
