Do you want a fascist dicatorship? 'Cause letting assholes be dangerously wrong without pushback is how you get a fascist dictatorship.

Where’s my damn flying car?
Neat, now I can design foundations for a moonbase.
Hmm, time for the guy from the other thread to graft a third plant onto his toma-potato.
Waiting for one of the various global crises to change in such a way as to become individually actionable, so that the famed ADHD crisis mode superpowers can finally kick in:
The context is that he’s doing a stand-up comedy routine. Although “it’s funny because it’s true” is a thing, he’s not necessarily endorsing every single punchline as his closely-held genuine belief.
That said: I ended up waiting like 3 years for my diagnosis (and I had to chase those bastards every single time for a response),
That sounds this close ->||<- to being some Catch 22 nonsense where they use your success in managing to follow up as an excuse to claim you’re not ADHD.
At least they’re clean dishes on the drying rack and not dirty ones in the sink!
…says the guy that thinks there’s going to be a brokered convention that picks somebody other than Biden.
Still less radiation than coal plants release in normal operation.
Don’t forget to think about how to keep the salt air from corroding the electronics. Either build a spare or two that you keep sealed in plastic, or find an airtight case with an integrated heat sink or something.
Edit: you might want to look into conformal coating and dielectric grease (for the connectors) as well, although I don’t know enough about that to competently give advice beyond the mere suggestion.
Inb4 the “[Choco] Leibniz — [Fig] Newton cookie controversy!”
As far as I am concerned, it’s purposefully weakly designed, because these break a LOT.
Could be sacrificial because the plastic case is cheaper/easier to replace than whatever else would break instead of it were stronger.
I would definitely like to see a set of charts like this separated out by musical genre.
That’s possible, but if that were the case I’d expect there to be a bunch of illegitimate children at his funeral.
I was gonna comment “yeah, but Leibniz fucks!” but then I decided to fact-check myself.
“Leibniz never married, and his funeral was only attended by his personal secretary.”
…well, shit. The meme checks out!
That’s nothin’! You wanna see some weird bombs? Watch this!
Every definitive trait has some counter example that still counts because people “feel” it’s good enough.
There’s an aphorism in statstics / science: “all models are wrong, but some are useful.” I feel that the distinction between genuine off-road-capable SUVs and crossovers/tall cars/glorified station wagons or minivans is useful, even if it isn’t completely definitive. Generally speaking, if it’s a unibody vehicle it probably isn’t very good off-road, and therefore doesn’t really deserve to be called an “SUV.”
So does a 2wd “suv” (by your definition) then get declassified?
A 2WD SUV is less general-purpose, but I think they still have enough potential to count (think desert-racing prerunners, which are often 2WD but legitimate off-road vehicles).
Plenty of large “tall station wagons” are unibody. About the only legitimately capable offroad 4x4s I know of that are unibody are the Jeep Cherokee (the old one) and maybe something like a Suzuki Jimny (edit: nope, even that tiny thing is body-on-frame).
(Consider the difference between a (unibody) Toyota Highlander and a (body-on-frame) Toyota 4Runner, for example: only the latter is a “real” SUV, in terms of being capable off-road.)
That’s when it’s time to shame, ridicule, ostracize, and exile. People like that do not deserve the benefits of living in a society.
