Takes roughly a billion $1 pieces of paper.

Then send a ridiculously small number of those to your state representatives.

I think digital fascism is a likely motivator at this point. The ceos have all been hanging out with the political fascists, so there’s not much reason to think otherwise.

And they make them so tricky to repair that appliance repair people will either have to charge too much or outright refuse to work on them.

And a bunch of the food is more or less fossil fuels turned into corn. Solar+wind+battery with some nuclear power mixed in is probably the way, but long haul transport might be able to work on bio if we could get out of the growth only economy of late stage of capitalism.

I sometimes imagine a world where we make things that last, or can be repaired and our population has leveled off so that we can stop making the line go up and just keep it at some sustainable level. A lot of thing could change and keep us all happy.

Maybe my kid’s grandkids will see it.

100 millionaires are still asswipes though. That’s why they said multimillionaire.

Dishwashers, the 3 most recent dishwashers that I have had experience using across 3 very different households and use levels, from 3 different manufacturers, have all had minor to major faults in the 4-5 years since installation, just after the warranty period ended.

Mostly drawer and roller related, but also a pump failure.

Super Mario bros 1 & 3. I still have them working on my old Wii, but I’ve been planning on a retro pi setup for ages.

My OG NES stopped working a decade ago.

With more AI presidential addresses like the Kirk speech.

Water.

It’s already happening in parallel though, not next.

I kinda think the controllers and size justify a slight premium over building as well though. At least in this stage (mid 40s) of my life.

Dick stuck in Samsung and I have to pee.

Aggravated Incompetence

Showing up with armfuls of bribes each time should help.

Staying anonymous would be the best way though, especially if your goings try it more than once.

Yeah I miss the days of buying a mid spec MacBook and then immediately doubling or quadrupling the ram with Corsair or similar 3rd party ram.

Getting swap memory off those old HDDs was such a performance boost. Then later adding SSDs was another huge boost.

That’s why we need to slow down the bastards and be as incompetent as possible in these positions.

Yeah, even less so with gen AI though I think.

I have a hard time not yelling “play ball!” Every time I hear the national anthem or pledge of allegiance. I also always substitute under dog in the latter.

I thought they weren’t using gaming gpus this time though?

The tread is just:

1. Teleportation
2. Only to random locations (no distances measured)

I’m taking that to mean a random location anywhere in the universe except the starting location. The earth is an infinitesimally small part of the universe, so most teleportations would end up in intergalactic space.

I think the odds of ending up within sight of the earth are basically 0. The universe is a big place.
