I love that about physicsduck, it def snaps me into attention, like, wtf he just say..?

Safest time ever bro. The police just need another fuckbillion dollars and harriers and then crime disappear, totes.

They are thinking the got the customer by the balls because they're a state sanctioned monopoly. They're so big the CEO of Samsung has essentially the same power as the SK president.

Every major corp out of SK is a state sanctioned monopoly. The government tells Samsung "make washing machines now" and Samsung does.

I know it's been widely overlooked to allow South Korea to economically develop after the armistice, cold war and all, but at some point the rest of the free trading world is going to have to hit them with tariffs to protect native, or critical industries.

Frankly I'm really tired of looking the other way for any reason. Every other day it's a headline about how some government or multinational led the public on a 20 year gaslighting campaign. If I were to say, "hey did you hear that story about XXXY(any well known mega corp)?" Do you think I'd have a positive wholesome story to share? No. Because there never is. The structure of a corporation is set up to protect financiers from liability from the crimes theyre guaranteed to commit thru abusive, shortsighted, toxic business. It's literally the fucking point. But we don't have to accept that, and we don't have to choke back and somehow keep down our sense of justice, or be passively complicit, which is to nueter your morality, your sense of self

Our individual actions do matter in this case. Like don't buy shit off Temu, theyre using slave labor. Don't endorse that. Don't buy anything out of Dubai or Saudi Arabia, they, also, keep slaves. Don't support slavery. Including wage slavery. Don't do business with Israel until an non Zionist coalition is back in charge. Don't buy anything Russian. Genocide is not an acceptable modern practice. It CAN'T be. Boycott Mississippi and Louisiana as well, since they like to let their prisoners die of treatable conditions and bury them in unmarked graves. That is ALSO a genocide. Don't fucking fund crimes against humanity. This is kindergarten levels of sophistication.

And hopefully enough people will actually live their morals and gain seats of power, because we have to. Otherwise waves hands THIS.

Senators go for as little as $2000. I wish I were kidding.

Oh fuck yea. My wife said only if she can join too. You're welcome to stay as well. ;)

The most common place to find .1" is on micrometers. And that's just fine until you need to switch it back to imperial or metric for the next processing...which the rest of your tooling is in.

.1" is roughly 2.54mm

.1", fractionally is ~7/64

7/64 is roughly 2.77mm

See how this is recipe for disaster?

I wonder if the FTC didn't fight it because they knew this would happen - because of course it would, and now Lina Khan is just getting her margins right to hit both Tmob and Verizon with antitrust.

God I fucking hope so.

And slap Comcast and Cox fucking senseless while yr at it Lina. Please...? I'll make you dinner everyday for like a month. If you could get fiber classified as a public utility I'll be yr personal chef for a year. Who could say no to that?

This is due to activist investors.

That's people who'll buy up enough stock to be allowed at shareholders meetings and then they'll fucking DRILL the C-suite non-stop, derailing the meetings.

It's a good strategy, even if it forces you in bed with evil. Make the rest of the shareholders undeniably knowledgeable and then theyll have to contend with shame or don the moniker themselves. Or start demanding ethical business practices themselves, which is what the lawsuit is ultimately trying to avoid.

You do you boo but Metrics fucking awesome. It's simple, conversions are super easy, etc. it's just basic numbers. You can thoughtlessly multiply or divide (assuming you could thoughtlessly do that before).

You want a real shite headache? Try translating tenths of inches. I'd just burn the blueprints and tell them to try again.

Listen to Anti-flag's Anatomy of an Enemy

Except that's not what's written.

It's 0.25/0.5

Raising it exponentially would be

2.5/5, or

25/50=50

1/2≠50. Does not compute.

The Phoenician Q and H are way better than todays. And they got the X-Men belt buckle, that's fucking rad. They can keep it tho; I don't want to give Disney anymore free publicity.

The Greek Delta and Phi can make a comeback tho.

I mean, yes and no. Pearl harbor wasn't the only place hit 12/7. Philipines, Guam and Wake were all hit as well

Hong Kong and Singapore were also attacked and the empire invaded Malaysia.

America took a sharp hit square in the face, but Britain got sent home in a body bag at the end of 1941. By Feb 1942 the UK had lost all of Malaysia, lost Hong Kong and lost Singapore. They lost 12,000 troops, the rest surrendering. Zero soldiers made it home. Out of 120,000. Australia and New Zealand were in extreme danger and the Raj was expecting assault at any moment. I'm the spam of a few months Japan had sunsetted the largest empire the world had ever seen.

America had never been pit against such an enemy. You have to take all of WW2 into that context. Fuck in WW1 they played soccer across no-man's-land on Christmas. The next year the Canadians had arrived and...well...I'm not saying shit about canuckistani military just that over half of the geneva convention exists because of Canada.

Lindsey Graham will say whatever his sponsors want him to say. He shares like 2 of his opinions a year, and you can tell which ones they are because a week after saying it he's already backtracking acting like he never said otherwise. He'll dance any dance to suppress video of him and his prostitutes dick in his mouth. It's a corner he's painted himself in by courting the homegrown hate vote.

My gut tells me that he's a decent guy and I bet he's quite capable at the state level, but he's been in over his head in DC ever since he got there.

PayPal sold for a billion bucks, the largest sale ever, at the time. Now it's just integrated into eBay, which also isn't going anywhere, so I have no idea what you're implying. Did I miss something?

Thus no time to object to the looting of whatever America has left. Trump would give up Hawai'i to the highest bidder - as long as that bidder wasn't native Hawaiians. He gave up our spies to Putin and I got 2billion reasons to think Kushner sold Bonesaws how to make the bomb. He's selling law repeal, they'll be nothing left by 2028. Once the world realizes the looting is over they'll come collecting for the debt owed, and as the dollar collapses completely, this defunding our military (hard to have soldiers if soldiers can't buy food), that means America will go under the knife and lose sovereign territory. Like, the Chinese West Coast, Saudi Texas, Saudis¹q%qiana and Saudoklahoma

There's absolutely noncompetes baked into that sale. Noncompetes might not be legal, or applicable, torards employees anymore, but they sure as shit are still legal and binding as a condition for a business's sale.

My older liberal banker brother asked me, small business owning tradesman, why I don't just go start some small community in Montana and live without the dollar, yada yada.

I laughed, he said he's serious, I said "yea, the bankers that own the feds are serious too, and they use that to control what kind of society we decide for ourselves. We don't have the freedom to choose. We have the freedom to choose but only from these two choices. We won't even allow Cuba to do that shit, still today, 60years under embargo. And they're their own country! The bankers would erase me in a heartbeat".

That's what I do being off-grid. I have my battery bank then a series of Supercaps to essentially act as an on/off ramp//drawbridge and temper quick demands. Kinda like an inverse soft starter so this is suuuuper interesting to me.
