I mostly just reply to stuff with piss-takes, frequently a fool. He/Him, all opinions expressed are quite possibly poorly thought out.

A lot of what I've read about sweater quality here conflates "characteristic" with "quality." For example, dimensions such as thickness are mistaken for quality. This is like saying green apples are inherently better than red apples (or vice versa, if you prefer). 🧵

@StillConfusing_ @burkebythelake @raaleh Not even ambient, honestly. 127C puts you above water boiling temp. That means most (all?) turbine-adjacent power generation options can use it, not just wind, hydro, and tidal/wave.

It’s absurdly funny that “most people do not have lead poisoning” is going to be a bounded phenomenon consisting of people born between 1980 and 2023

@dieworkwear I think you underestimate how much “well, he’s *good* at this game, so there’s that” I’ll wade through to find a bit of “cool art and someone infodumping about how things work”

@MikeBlack114 My theory is the author had a deep need to dismiss leadership (plus training and equipment) failures and worked backwards from there.

@Chair_borne @Militarydotcom Ah, but he clearly dismissed the equipment as a factor there where he said leadership and training couldn’t be a factor. Clearly, leadership, training, and equipment have never been a factor in the disciple and success of an army.

@Militarydotcom I didn’t make it past: “if only those TF Smith guys hadn’t been pampered mamas boys, they coulda totally fought off NK T34s with a couple of old bazookas and their trusty M1 Garands”. How TF was this guy a GO?

@midura_m Oh, you’d still dry it out! I was just picturing a whole bunch of business majors finding a new and exciting way to act like toddlers. Yours is excellent too, especially if that shit *stained*

@Jerry_ATX In my town, as in every town, it is a jobs program for a certain set of well-established local families. That’s all.

@swolecialism @BeijingPalmer I guess for DV and “it was someone in a car doing it to someone not in a car” you have to be willing to look at the evidence in order to actually use it.

@tohickontpain @swolecialism Oh holy shit he goes on to literally do the “national socialists had socialist in the name” thing. It’s truly… whatever antonym for “shocking” one might choose.

@golikehellmachi Holy shit, at least when my employer pulls this shit it frequently involves time spent as paid or a donation match for our time. For salaried peeps it’s still just “and now you work extra hours because you hope to promote or sommat”, tho

That said, I am arrogant enough to still have no fears about my writing being replaced by the love child of magnetic poetry and autocorrect. I am not in competition with a machine. I’m not even in competition with other writers! Mostly I’m in competition with my need for sleep.

On a bed of pizza sauce is the most horrifically broken ways to describe a pizza to have someone want to eat it.

Ah cool cool cool. If my parents house burns down twice in 7 years, I am going to find and kill God. They're not worried yet, but the hamlet 25 minutes down the road got evacuated.
