Sanctions have not succeeded in lessening support or creating regime change. They are a siege warfare tactic, and a way of inflicting suffering upon the masses of people. There’s plenty of books on the topic, I’d recommend Sanctions as War, edited by Stuart Davis and Immanuel Ness.

Yep that’s the one I saw there I think. Drone goes into a little kiosk and then you pick it up from the claim window thing.

I like Chinas drone delivery model, you can look up videos of it online.

Not necessarily.

It’s not every day for everyone, but I used video calling every day to talk to my foreign spouse, and to talk to my little brothers when I was overseas. It’s pretty amazing overall.

No, usually it’s buy the hype sell the news.

Valve doesn’t manufacture fans, the fan he got is the OEM fan.

That’s their mini kit. I recommend their pro tech toolkit for most people, has all the bits and accessories you’ll need for most things, and then I also have their Manta kit, but that’s overkill unless you’re really into repair. I have a lot of toolkits though. I have a great Wiha set similar to the pro tech toolkit, and Drivesavers sent me a really nice kit as swag from when I used to outsource customer data recovery to them that I use at work.

They’re terrible parents for the majority of the game, this is just the culmination of all their selfishness and self deceit.

My little Gen A brother calls his friends who watch it “super brainrot”. I like to tease him by calling things skibidi sometimes because I’m finally old enough to be the one getting the eye roll for using slang incorrectly and it’s truly hilarious.

As a former Authorized tech for all the big three phone manufacturers, including Google, I can tell you Google is not friendly to their customers. They’re a greedy, scum sucking piece of shit just like Apple and Samsung.

It’s not no matter what. It’s under the system we have they are not only not punished for doing so, they are heavily incentivized to do so. There are ways to punish bad actors that de-incentivize other potential bad actors, our politicians actively choose to prioritize these bad actors ability to do harm over the well being of the population.

Idk about this, but the Mario 64 decompile was recompiled to run on my Anbernic 353 at 60fps, runs amazing. So I think it should be at least theoretically possible.

This is rather old news, predating Neuralink entirely even. There used to be an unlisted YouTube video by Gray(Grey?) Newell that showed off what they were working on back a few years ago, too.

Tell me you know nothing about Chinese EVs without saying you know nothing about Chinese EVs.

China charges nearly double for its EVs outside of the Chinese market. They tend to do what most companies do, charge the highest price that people will still pay. China domestically is the most competitive market in the world, so they have $10,000 high quality EVs, but they don’t have to do that elsewhere and so they don’t.

Using police to beat and arrest peaceful protestors while on tv calling them violent extremists already is fascism.

Obligatory Library Socialism Link: https://librarysocialism.org/

In the simplest terms, the right of usufruct means you can use things, but you cannot deny them to others when you’re not using them, and you do not have the right to destroy them to prevent others from using them. So, for example, the farmer is welcome to grow crops on a given plot of land - but if they choose not to, somebody else can use the land.

Given this, it’s easy to see that this principle already exists in public libraries. You can borrow a book to help you start a business, but you can’t prevent others from reading it after you - or threaten to destroy the book unless you receive the profits of the next reader’s business. You can hold the book exclusively (of other library patrons), but only temporarily.

Libraries of things should be state run and free at point of use. They should also be integrated into communities in a way that makes them easy to access. Instead of everyone having a lawn mower, you check out an electric mower once a week, on a date that you’ve reserved it, and the entire community uses it, or if in a large community, your immediate neighbors use it, and then it’s returned for the next people to use it.

Libraries of things should not only be for things you use once a year. They should be for just about everything that you don’t use every day.

Usafruct >>>>>> UsusFructisAbusus.

I’ve triggered scam locks on remittance apps before also, and they were very pushy in informing me that I may be being scammed (I wasn’t, but I honestly didn’t mind too much) when I called to clear them.
