there’s nothing wrong with character growth

but, yes, you couldn’t be a decent person and subscribe to it because you thought it was valuable content

you know what? I would much rather the internet returned to shit like this than it be the shit hole that it is today what with all the tracking, ads, and bots

I understand it is somewhat commonplace to use those abbreviations when people aren’t being 100% serious

i.e. if a situation like this where you’re making it clear it’s a joke

I’ll have to look into those and see what level of autonomy is happening, thanks for the info. a quick search says they do some welding as well. usually the fully automated stuff is just final assembly stuff and paint, which is simpler to automate because everything is in known locations.

that’s also kind of why I always find it funny when people brag about where the final assembly of a vehicle happens - okay but like where did all the parts come from? there’s four $5 million cells in Mexico, designed and built by Canadians, making the rear subframe and employing hundreds of people; why is a car “American” because you put the last pieces together in the US?

well, that and the fact that it can’t actually do something to the same level of quality.

but that’s not going to stop it from taking the jobs. only from actually completing them successfully after it does so.

eh, sort of.

I work in automotive manufacturing. it’s a huge world. there are tons of people involved in designing, building, and running these cells.

also, the human part is pretty much always the most basic shit - loading and unloading feeders, moving material around with a forklift, loading parts by hand into the machine from material bins because it’s cheaper to hire someone to do that complex task (that is not sarcastic, picking something up from a loose bin and placing it in a known orientation is a difficult task to automate) than to teach and operate a robot for that

I don’t know how line operators stay sane. I’ve designed cells where it’s somebody’s job to do the same dozen motions every minute for an entire shift. many cells like that.

AI does it five times, in my experience.

lol one of my friends does this.

asked me how much caffeine I drink and like idk dude I rebrew my used grounds like a disgusting person does, because it just naturally becomes decaf that way, right?

then he goes on to say how many mg of caffeine he likes on an average day and how it varies depending on length of work day, intensity, and weekends etc

aight dude that’s way more thought than I put into it, all I know is that I have a caffeine addiction and I’m slowly weaning myself off it

for those who still don’t get it, what you’re looking at is baguettes stuck into shoes

nah, we understand that a lot of material burns off

I do recommend against things that suck, however

which is just about everything microslop touches

“There is absolutely no place for politically motivated violence in the United States of America,” assistant US attorney Michael Friedman told Friedrich.

weird, maybe you guys should stop the administration from perpetrating a ton of politically motivated violence, then, instead of going after those merely reacting to it

(from the article of the Canadian-French (not french-canadian) woman)

and so politely, too

some stores are $5/200g bag for name brand around me in Ontario, some are up to $8 for name brand. not a gas station

even Costco has reduced the size of their giant $8 bags by 100g or so in the past two years

we hate it. fucking hate it. it’s so goddamn offensive for people to be lighting up the night sky like that when their already way more bright than necessary lowbeams do just fine

your premise that the cutoff works well enough is incorrect

source: my fucking life

I’m blinded by “properly aimed” stock LEDs all the fucking time. roads aren’t flat. and they’re bumpy. hills exist. different elevations exist.

and your point about multibeam LEDs just proves my point more because it completely ignores non-vehicles

didn’t realize 80/90s blinding and 2020 blinding were the only options

too bad there isn’t a happy medium somewhere around 2010

so slow down

my 2008 with halogens does perfectly fine

one day someone like me is going to drive head-on into you because we can’t see shit because of your asshole headlights

ah, yes, the rule of “you can’t buy 2lb of tasty cooked protein for $7 but you can buy 2lb of uncooked tasteless meat for $7.99/lb”

no, wait, you’re onto something

we could do that, and call it a first world level of healthcare or something, and ensure that everybody has access to the care that they need to live a good life
