Interesting, had no idea about its origin story.

Also… of course

In June 2006 a Rockingham school inquiry was launched after parents complained of the traumatic effects classroom Mafia was having on their fifth-grade children. Davidoff responded to the reports, saying that as a parent who had studied child psychology for 25 years, he felt that the game could “teach kids to distinguish right from wrong”, and that the positive message of being honest could overcome the negative effects of an “evil narrator” moderating the game as if it were a scary story.

We can just skip straight to depose.

to enrich himself at the expense of others.

You didn’t finish your sentence properly.

to enrich himself at the expense of others lives.

Would this help EV motors or batteries? A more efficient power train?

I think it was targeted at the accelerator pedal.

The pedal cover was designed to be attached with industrial adhesives, but when it got to the production line, they were having trouble installing it and some production line manager/workers decided to add some soap to it/the process to get it to slide on better.

This ruined the adhesives and the pedal on some vehicles it slipped off, potentially keeping it stuck down if it wedged itself right, triggering a recall where they riveted it on.

INB4: OMG ADHESIVES? Yes, industrial adhesives can be very strong and are already used all over cars. You just don’t put soap on them… SMH

Of all the games they try to demonize, they demonize a game type people have played at home for decades at parties, in person, with no computers.

Brilliant.

90s house party game here, I’m sure people played it earlier.

Just saw this today and thought you might find it interesting given our discussion

The city of Vancouver passed a motion to look into the city holding some Bitcoin as a financial reserve, and in the article I saw this mentioned

“But there are green efforts afoot in the bitcoin mining sector, and I think we could definitely look at those and how they might benefit paying for things like heating city pools and other sorts of services.”

It would be pretty cool if the city was heating a pool with it and then paying off their bills with the mined coins.

That said, I think the core concern can be rephrased in a way that gets at the essence, and to me there’s still a live issue that’s not relieved simply by noting that this requires probable cause.

Well ya. The whole thing is really fucked in the first place. It’s very disturbing that it was ruled they can compel biometics in any circumstance.

In a far off future, this ruling would probably even allow a mind reading device to figure out a PIN, which would be protected, because they didn’t force you to say it, and reading electrical signals isn’t really any different than reading ridges on a finger.

This is so fucked. Wow.

If you don’t die due to our abortion laws, we’re gonna steal your kid.

You left off, got the bars off his 4th story cell and fell to his death. Or I guess it could be 12th story with the new prison they wanna build in NY China Town.

I know that, but that’s not how these antivax people see it. They think you can get it.

They couldn’t make inexpensive EVs profitable. They couldn’t even make expensive EVs profitable for a long time.

They didn’t have the know how. You can’t just expect them to build a car that they can sell millions of, but because it’s a terribly made EV because they don’t know how, to lose money on each one and go bankrupt.

Even BYD isn’t making a lot of money on their EVs yet either and they use their own batteries. They make most of their car money on the plug in hybrids.

GM made the bolt, and it was a money pit. They used that to learn more and make other cars which were also money pits. In theory these next gen GM cars won’t be money pits, but it took all those other ones to get there. But they couldn’t sell millions Bolts every year, it’d bankrupt them.

Then you even have Tesla, the most profitable EV maker, saying for years, they can’t even make an affordable smaller vehicle profitable for more years as well. What makes you think VW can if Tesla is struggling and only about to come out with something cheaper in 2025? Tesla is the most profitable BEV maker, so they know how to do something with EVs.

Deiss the old CEO at VW was warning them these cuts were going to be needed years ago to weather the upcoming storm and they kicked him out and said no. That delay has made things even worse for VW. Now the leopards feast.

Does anyone not have ill will towards corporate America other than corporate America?

There’s no reason a company couldn’t release the info legally unless it was under something like AML (anti money laundering) laws and you were flagged as a criminal. They legally can’t disclose why in that case.

Using a different OS isn’t reason enough, if they were telling the truth about the legal restrictions.

It’s used to help secure the businesses app yes. It helps with things like preventing resource abuse which would cost the company money. E.g. querying mass amounts of data on a loop to increase the companies bill.

It did kindle. Major companies started accepting it. Then the blocksize wars happened, and the 1mb forever people won through massive censorship and deceit. Then companies stopped accepting it directly as a result of the problems a 1mb limit causes. Now it might never happen again for BTC. The war and the signs leading up to it though spawned other cryptocurrencies, so those might succeed where Bitcoin has failed. We’re still suffering from the damage caused though as companies that stopped accepting it are now skeptical of accepting anything else again.

Edit: This is steams post on the matter - https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1464096684955433613

1mb limit -> transaction backlog grows -> higher fees to get in next block -> transactions get delayed from fee volatility and having used the wrong fee which moments ago was the right fee -> now the heavily delayed transaction is the wrong amount due to price volatility and steam and the customer are fucked.

It kindled, and was in turn murdered as it had been intended to be used.

People who got vaccines sometimes got autism. People without vaccines sometimes get autism.

RFK: We can conclusively say that vaccines cause autism since people who’ve had vaccines have developed autism!

Right, but they can’t just do it without reason which he was implying, and he replied to me with

“Yea but that wasn’t the point of me pointing it out. The point was that they don’t need to resort to such measures in order to clandestinely acquire your unlocked phone.”

In this case he was on parole where they have the right to search him. That mention of blood draw etc, you’re already under arrest and they can search your person anyway.

I’m not aware of any law where a cop can walk up to you on the street and demand they unlock your phone with biometrics and search it without cause.

Credit card fees can actually get quite large as well, they’re just hidden from the consumer, and we all pay a higher price because of it.

E.g stripe is 2.9% + $0.30

Even BTC with its current high (not peak high fees) fees is cheaper than CC’s when you start getting into a few hundred dollars purchase.

They need a warrant or probable cause for that, but yes they can compel it unlike a password. It’s still a search and needs to be lawfully done in the first place.
