'The Earth is flat': Lauren Boebert taunts Defense Department experts at UFO hearing
  • My kids are in a Chinese dual immersion program. I will never complain about English's foibles ever again. Holy shit is that a terribly inefficient language. Thousands of years of civilization and they're still doing pictograms. I can't even imagine writing a program in Chinese. I'm not sure it would be possible.

  • Young people are struggling to deal with their MAGA parents — again
  • There is only 2 basic core values.

    The right: some people are better than others, and the betters should rule. They differ on what makes someone "better", but that's about it. The left: Everyone is equal, some people need more help than others. They differ on who needs the help.

  • There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage?
  • That's why I said full time worker. If I work for company A, but 90% of my time is dedicated to company B. My effort primarily benefits company B, therefore my compensation counts to company B. Really causes a problem for companies that employs sweatshops.

  • There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage?
  • I like corporate taxes being tied to the ratio of the highest compensated full time worker and the lowest compensated worker. Note that I specifically said compensation and not wages and full time worker and not employee.

    If the highest compensation package is stock options worth 30 million and the lowest compensation is an "independent contractor", that scrapes by on 30k a year. The ratio is 1000, some standard equation would then define the corporate tax rate. Hopefully a ratio that high would be 100%

  • 'He is in serious jeopardy': Legal expert warns Trump his back is against the wall
  • I get the frustration, but I also get where the authorities are coming from. Imagine if precident gets set that a political candidate can be mired down in lawsuits, regardless if they're plausible or not. Then someone like trump comes along and says cool that worker great against me, I'll just throw a shit ton of made up lawsuits and cases against all my future opponents.

  • Infinite Suffering
  • Or is it like a Y2K death trolly and when the overflow happens the universe doesn't catch the exception and things get weird. Like suddenly any number can be divided by 0.

    FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?
  • The trouble for me was always getting people to use the controllers. I had some success with some family members using bubbleupnp on their Android phones. But the separation between sources, renderers and controllers is a little confusing for non technical people

    Other than some shelves that I made for my office. This is the first piece of furniture I've ever made. Lots and lots of mistakes and do-overs. Still, I think it turned out pretty good.

    Coffee table. 2 36"x36" sheets of birch ply, with 1/8" Poplar hobby boards glued/nailed to it in the design. The ply was stained with homemade Iron Acetate stain. Then epoxy was poured onto the recessed parts and in all the cracks. Then the whole thing was sanded again and covered in many coats of Lacquer... lost count.

    The table uses a mechanism ordered from AliExpress that folds out to a table. It pops up, and to the left, then the top of the coffee table is rotated over the other "legs" of the mechanism, and it becomes this table. Just high enough to comfortably game from the sofa. (The plywood surface was stained with Minwax Golden Oak and coated in about ten coats of lacquer.)
