Discussion with intelligent people = 💯 Disagreement and *meaningful discussion* is a Good Thing®. Know that when you reply to me, you're dealing with an autistic regard. I need you to know that *I'm* the moron, OK? I don't know how to make this any more clear . . . 😁😁😁

I like your thinking. So ... but history shows that... I mean, how many times has the imbalance been corrected? If "people come together ..." They keep us divided with politics, TV and religion for a reason ya know. 😂 I dared to say I wasn't 100% supportive of the war in Iran on this platform, and you'd think I must have k*lled everybody's dog, lol. (That's whole other topic, really) But point is, even those of us on the right can't come together, really.

@molecularmatcha @TRHLofficial “Possession is 9/10ths of the law. The other tenth is the guy with the gun.” They may hold it but enough pissed off armed people come together and they won’t be keeping it for long in theory.

Go to your room until you understand relative scarcity, Todd.

@PlanetOfMemes Nice job on appearing low res, old, authentic, but I don't think this conversation happened, lol

George Carlin was spot on here. Words are chosen for specific reasons.

@Oceanbreeze473 The negator spring is wound with the force needed to make garage doors(and other doors) raise fairly effortlessly. These doors may weigh hundreds of pounds. So yea, when those springs/coils get sprung, it's deadly. Don't toy with it except in the presence of an experienced pro

I would definitely hire a pro, but I’ve heard you can break your jaw messing with your garage door. Is this true?

@WilliamShatner @facebook @rauchg @vercel @nextjs Hiya Mr. Shatner. It's wrong indeed, but you're lucky, Overall, the media and cinema itself has been very kind to you, and I think it was well deserved. Today is a bitter pill, and I wouldn't like it either nor fare any better. But remember the sweet. All the best ...

Good news and bad news. @Facebook did remove the page but now @rauchg who is the CEO of @vercel (who oversees @nextjs) tells me the company cannot see a reason to remove the posted fake AI stories made by whomever was behind the page. 🤷🏼 Vercel has Ts and Cs: vercel.com/legal/acceptab… I don’t know how these stories are not considered actionable under section #4 “not fraud or a scam” plus #5 talks about not transmitting any information that contains information protected by HIPAA. I guess a fake story revealing I supposedly have brain cancer doesn’t fall under HIPAA? 🤨 And AI photos allegedly of me in a hospital bed surrounded by doctors certainly doesn’t scream HIPAA violation👇🏻. 🤣

@elonmusk I speculate that the ridiculous spike was due to the Trump campaign for presidency. Wherein everyone was wanting to believe every horrible thing about Trump the legacy media told, and people and bots alike were reposting its pap.

As it should.

@elonmusk See this movie for more detail imdb.com/title/tt038780…

@davepl1968 @_mario_neo_ Well, this explains my results, lol

@_mario_neo_ It might be, but since this is 6502 code... no.

@davepl1968 Hmmm... also tried in Visual Studio C++ 2026 and I'm not getting any output. :-( I guess -- we need GCC or wut?

Au contraire, mon frère! Here's some machine language included in a C program that makes a pretty display:

@davepl1968 Hi @grok! Please convert the code in Dave's image post to plain text. Thanks as always ... And thank you Dave, I will compile this in TurboC, God willing ...

Actually a competent reply. Once could argue semantics all day of how "confiscated" vs "impounded" carry different meanings and the variations from state-to-state, but we get it: loss of possession for whatever term. LPT: cyclists -- don't tell a cop he can't cite you because it's not a motorized vehicle. He can impound/confiscate your bike if you'd like that better. 😟

@anotherarizonan @CollinRugg Depends on the infraction, cars get impounded all the time. Try driving without a license, registration or insurance on a public highway and see what they do with your vehicle.

NEW: San Francisco police trap 85 bicyclists on an offramp who were seen taking over the road, swerving around cars, & riding the wrong direction. The bike gang tried turning around after they were blocked on the ramp by SFPD & CHP, but quickly realized they were trapped. All of the bikes were confiscated. This is amazing.

Yes, that's right -- UNLESS you flip the "polarity." I quote "polarity" because AC doesn't really have polarity, but the principle is still the same. In the USA, note that one of the socket holes is slightly larger because one side is "hot" and the other is ground. This keeps things safer so if you touch your toaster or lamp you have a much less chance of getting shocked. Back in the day, we didn't pay much mind to this and more people died. Anyway, that socket arrangement keeps you from connecting ground to hot and vias-versa. Like the image says, ground-to-ground or hot-to-hot is a non-event. But if you put the OLD style plugs (same prong size on both) and put two of those onto one cord, AND gave that cord a half-twist so that you plugged them in with hot-to-ground and ground-to-hot, THAT's when the sparks fly, breakers trip, and you can get a little soot on your hands (if lucky, else worse).

@engineers_feed wait... am I missing something, or is this actually right?

Question!

I believe you. As I think more about it, they probably dropped the b0mber mission because they realized supersonic b0mbs were best delivered by missiles. But supersonic spy planes with pilots taking perfect pictures from all angles, THAT was worthwhile. So the recon mission was the new mission for that design. Then I suppose that airplane mission gave way to satellites . . .

@molecularmatcha @mechanical_4u I'm not an expert, I just read something about it years ago. I just remember that ultimately, they decided they only needed one, and the 71 'won'.

It looks like a spaceship. But it is 60 years old. This is the XB-70 Valkyrie. Built in the 1960s, it was designed to fly at Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) and outrun a nuclear blast. It was so fast that the friction from the air heated the skin to over 600°F. To survive, the pilots wore pressurized space suits. But the craziest part was the wings. Once it hit supersonic speed, the wingtips would physically fold down 65 degrees. This allowed the plane to "ride" its own shockwave, like a surfer riding a wave. It used six massive jet engines aligned in a row. Only two were ever built. One crashed in a tragic accident, and the other sits in a museum. We haven't built anything like it since. Was this the peak of human engineering?

OK, but... the mission indicators are throwing me a little. "XB" would be "eXperimental B0mber" (right?) and SR would be Strategic Reconnaissance. Those are very different missions ... but one was really the papa of the other? But if you got some history I don't know then that's cool. To be sure, I'm not saying one cannot follow the other, just seems unusual... but I don't know everything, that's for sure.

@molecularmatcha @mechanical_4u Check the numbers. The '71 superceded the 70. they were really competing designs in the same general project, each with their pros and cons, but the 71 was, overall, considered the better option. The 70 was still pretty sweet though.

@1oldtrucker @mechanical_4u

@mechanical_4u Saw one in flight near Edwards AFB

@folaoftech Just to be clear, I'm not saying IBM makes ThinkPads. Also, my comment is per experience. I'm not speculating that "IBM is issuing IBM laptops, because IBM." No. I understand how one might construe that, but no.

Opinion: he's hinting at something. These laptops are issued to those working IBM contracts, which may include at&t, Tech Mahindra, IBM itself, and more. It's not about the laptop, imo.

If you’re given these laptops at work, just know you’re finished 🤣

@sakuratinn316 I like your look. Don't listen to the critics. You look very healthy and low-fat. Healthier people are happier people. I also like the idea that it seems you can take care of yourself if assaulted. Hope you are studying martial arts. Best wishes ... 💖

I'm Not an intellectual! Chances are very high that you are the smarter of we two, and that You are the better person, overall. Take that to the bank. Believe it; believe in yourself.

@Legacy411 Young Marry Hartman (Louise Lasser)? 💖

Probably no one knows who she is huh?
