They ride it up from the depths like a sand worm.

I'd say do it, and put a lot of effort into the video but keep it generic and don't mention the company or product by name.

Then in a few months when that shitshow goes under you'll have the video ready to go for the next place!

Wow, that sounds like a serious offense that a law & order gang like the Republicans would prosecute to the ends of the earth, even if the offender was the president of the united states!

At this point I am much worried about the future effect of evil bloodlines then of stupid ones.

They do often go hand in hand, granted, but there are some wonderful stupid and/or mentally handicapped folks out there.

I'm convinced that much of, if not most of, society sees technology in our personal lives as a way to (ideally) not have to learn anything or put in one bit of extra effort.

I've been getting my hands dirty and doing more things myself over the past few years, and ya know sometimes the journey is more impactful on you as a person than the destination is. Learning things and interacting with the world around you is good.

I'd argue that the rate of decay per atom is actually random, except that the probability per unit time is scaled according to how long the half life is.

You need a shitton of atoms so that you can average out all that randomness and find the emergent property that is half life.

Fortunately, any amount of radioactive material large enough for us to do anything with it does indeed have a shitton of atoms! Avogadro's number is one of my favorite scientific constants because it reveals the crazy scale of the atoms we take for granted.

Like with U238 and its 4 billion year half life, one mole of just that atom would weigh 238 grams and have 6.022x10^23 atoms. A half-pound or quarter-kilo chunk of very heavy metal that fits in the palm of your hand contains over 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.

Some of those atoms are going to decay today, and some of them will still be radioactive in 100 billion years.

I appreciate you sharing, and I mean this as a light-hearted comment and not an insult:

You discussing your difficulties in getting NPD treatment while also capitalizing pronouns referring to yourself is 🤌

The convenient surveillance doesn't exactly discourage the government from supporting/driving car-centric communities.

But he can see Jesus?

"I can't see germs so they aren't real" sounds like the kind of meaningless strawman "got 'em!" argument he might make against atheism or whatever. It would be stupid then, too.

But no, he of course did the more sincere, more stupider straightforward version of that statement.

You can run a LOT of Windows applications in Linux with how good compatibility layers have gotten. And there are also VMs as a heavier option.

Granted, for work stuff maybe it would be more convenient not to switch, but it might be interesting to experiment!

Oh it was a long time ago, but not so long ago that it's suspicious.

Are they really such amazing actors

Unfortunately I don't think they need to be good actors in the first place.

One of the lessons of the last decade of the shit show that we call human society has been that awful and/or stupid people rise to positions of power and influence every day by acting confident and promising things they can't deliver.

The modern confidence man isn't the thief of the street but the legitimate executive.
