Thats the trouble with private vehicles in a nutshell. Sit idle for 95% of the time, and we need to buy models that are capable for the 1% of the drives we might want to do in a year.

Yeah, 120v15a is a pain. At least see about rewiring an outlet for 220v 15a. An electrician can often do it cheaply because its the same wires. Then you can get most of a full charge between commutes.

You may be correct but that just makes them look dumb for trying to do this in the first place. Why? Make some mechanical keyboards, retro looking monitors or other peripherals, whatever might actually make sense for the Commodore brand and style. Not a phone.

I don't mean literal valleys.

In 2010, I thought, maybe we'd start using electric cars by now. Instead we are using gas powered computers.

Gas powered computers.

That are unreliable and broken.

Natural selection is actually technically an optimisation algorithm. Its just a kind of crappy one that only ever finds local maximas because it can't traverse valleys (the thing just dies). So we end up with optical receptors on the wrong side of our retina. Ooof.

Its stock market manipulation.

The second they don't look like an exponential growth curve, they are over-valued and crash.

And history shows that EVERY time they felt their wealth and power were genuinely threatened, they conceded both. You don't even need a bloody revolution, they just need to see that it is a possibility before their thin skin starts crawling.

The british monarchy saw the french revolution and invented the parliamentary system. The robber barron's saw the communist revolutions in the east and suddenly the new deal, suffrage, and civil rights. Today, the billionaires are outclassed and out numbered worse than either of those examples, and will crumple like a paper tiger the second their facade is broken. All they have is their propaganda networks to protect them.

Its about the junkfood. News should be dry and chalky. Not only is it easier to process (rationally), you tend to just stop consuming when you feel done.

Poster is a Corvid, not a Parrot. Sarcasm for sure! They are smartiepants.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Thats level one feury. Level 2 is when they tell you a well known asshole billionaire is going to fight the shadow cabal for us.

Being insulated from reality and surrounded by sycophants causes literal brain damage.

Messiah inflation?

You are expecting someone to commit suicide for their values. Thats what life in prison under unjust prosecution is. He would expect to die there, alone.

Yeah, thats the most moral stance he could have taken, but he also didn't ask us to put our trust in him. He's not a politician. Those people DO ask us to put our trust in their character and ethics and were demonstrably shown to be lacking when illegal spying was clearly present.

All he asked for was for people to look at the evidence he presented and demand rule of law. He could be a puppy killer, and it wouldn't matter. He didn't ask to be elected to anything or put in charge of anything, and he acted like a self-serving human being in the end.

If America lives up to the claim of being just, it didn't seem to look like it in this case. The instant and well funded propaganda campaign against him was not an indication it would be a case of blind justice.

Its fine, but in English, three and a half thousand (fraction rather than decimal) is probably more common.

The whole "regulation is bad" scheme was bought and paid for with billions of dollars spent a small number of people who could make tens of billions by conducting their business without concern for the damage (economic externalities) they do. Its a transparent history and obvious on its face.

And yet so many average people go online and parrot it back, drinking the coolaid and passing it along.

What a loaded question. Hero is such a poorly defined yet super high bar. Firefighters who die rescuing children don't even typically want to be called a hero. This just sets up people to say no and muddy the water.

Did he stand up for democracy and transparency and rule of law? Yes. Did he suffer for his actions from powerful people more concerns for the political harm caused by the exposure of illegal actions? Yes.

Did he do everything right? No, he's human, and wasnt asking to be lionized or elected anything. He wanted people to look at the materials and demand change from governments. He didn't get what he wanted, and ended up stuck in Russia, where people can dismiss him as just a traitor, so no, he didn't do everything right. He could have also thrown himself on the mercy of the American justice system, no matter how doomed that would be. But he's human, so I don't expect suicide.

What makes you think they want to kill it? I think they regret choosing GPL software to base it on, and dgaf about the small segment of people who use forks, except to worry that one of them might take off with an OEM and regular people.

This is exactly why the original question is so loaded to be disengenuois.

Answering yes sounds foolish, while a complex answer sounds like waffling or even excusing, and will be generally ignored. Only the person who answers clearly with a "no" sounds reasonable.
