Are these best shearers not still commoditizing the products of the body of another thinking being?

What does that have to do with the question of whether or not the process of shearing is violent?

How do we know your claims of non-violent sheering are true?

How do you know PETAs claims are true? (“As reported by PETA, one eyewitness to the process said”)

I’ve been an eyewitness to the process, and I’m not idealogically biased the way PETA extremists are known to be.

Where is the sheep in this shed, now?

What? This sentence just doesn’t make sense. The sheep don’t live in the shed.

The females of the breeds I have observed don’t have horns, and their tails are docked to prevent excrutiatingly painful death by flystrike.

The alternative to wool production in Australia is cotton, which is even more environmentally destructive than sheep are, mostly due to the sheer amount of water required for cotton production. People need clothes so these industries aren’t going away.

Shearers have an interest in not causing unecessary harm to sheep, because it is counter productive. That’s my experience.

The rest of your argument is moralising which I am uninterested in.

First I thought the easiest would be ants, though ‘highly’ venomous is debatable they more than make up for it in sheer quantity and ease of raising.

Which leads us to Myrmecia pyriformis aka the bull ant.

They attack by biting with powerful jaws, and then sting with their venom repeatedly. They are highly aggressive when their nest is disturbed as many Australian children discover.

I have been unable to locate information on the LD50 of their venom, as the only study on it seems to be paywalled.

On second thought it’s probably the Africanized Bee or killer bees, which won’t be as easy to raise safely in my opinion, but are much more dangerous.

This is even funnier because black boxes are bright orange

Have you seen how wool is actually collected?

Yes, in a shearing shed and not on youtube.

It is not violent when done correctly, and the best shearers in the industry who can smoothly and quickly sheer a sheep without injury are highly sought after.

Seems like he got a reality check right as he was starting to get into the sov cit nonsense.

The wife is probably in too far at this point and seems like she’s not firing on all cylinders.

Some of the commentary was a bit harsh, as it’s clear the man has been misled, and unfortunately even some clever people fall into these traps when they’re desperate.

Really though if the vehicle was registered and she had a valid licence… why the fuck wasn’t she driving?

Like I said, people doing self hosting, they often open up ports for those services and management ports.

Some routers have backdoors built in, such as the Fortinet NGFW backdoor, that can also be exploited.

I work in this industry and believe me the risk is real, no vpns aren’t a silver bullet, but there are a few good providers out there that can help mitigate some risks of using P2P for more than piracy.

That depends on whether they are port blocking as I said.

If there was a vulnerability it would be exploited in the matter of a few minutes.

Around 10 minutes for an unpatched XP box with no firewall.

Much longer for obscure vulnerabilities in routers or more difficult to exploit vulns in hosted software.

It is also possible for vulnerabilities in peertube itself to exist, which will be an issue regardless of VPN use.

I could scan your network for vulnerabilities.

I could anyway but knowing a target used a service like peertube increases the odds of unpatched hardware or self hosted services in my experience.

If you’re using an older router you probably have a problem due to unpatched vulnerabilities.

If you self host you might have a problem, as many package maintainers and developers lag a bit behind security patches.

A good VPN provider will also block unusual ports.

I hope our politicians are ready to tell the American military that are stationed here to pack up and go home.

The yanks are now the biggest security threat we face.

The old hags in the fucking HR department at one place I worked were the most racist sexist pieces of shit I have ever had the displeasure of being within earshot of.

Any group is capable of making a workplace toxic.

Various food ingredients were discovered, including wheat, barley, fruits of wild grasses, knotweeds, and acorns. Starch-rich tubers, and possibly a small number of wild legume seeds, were also detected.

Saved you a click. This doesn’t seem like news to me.

Our shoulders are unique amongst extant apes, none of the others have the ability to throw the way we do.

Due to our shoulders and our muscles, which are excellent for fine motor control, humans are the ballistic experts of the world.

Zero results found

Hmmmm

It precisely meant at least 10 hours

Not according to the paper the article was (loosely) based on.

The average was 4.84 h/day and the maximum was 10.1

You would know that if you had read the article and fact checked it against the source.

This paper uses data from the world’s 5th-largest economy to show no blackouts occurred when wind-water-solar electricity supply exceeded 100 % of demand on California’s main grid for a record 98 of 116 days from late winter to early summer, 2024, for an average (maximum) of 4.84 (10.1) hours/day.

Now that you have all the facts, if you would stay on topic and render judgement of PTB/YDI that would be great.

whoever was the genius who thought it was a good idea to read things ONE F*CKING BYTE AT A TIME with system calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted

He really does have a point here…

For those downvoting, Linus Torvalds earned around $650k USD last year, solely from his work on Linux and not including any speaking gigs.

He’s not Bill Gates rich but Linus is very well off.

A garlic cheese sauce is my go to and I have yet to receive a single complaint.

LW may block certain VPNs but I can confirm that I am able to access LW from at least one well known VPN provider.

This may also be due to them using Cloudflare.

I wonder how intellectual one could call this community

I get you may be neurodivergant, though I have no idea how/why or to what degree, but what normally happens here is that people ‘read between the lines’. I’m not certain reading between the lines i necessary here because you have been pretty blatant.

You’re basically saying the community is pretending to be intelligent by latching onto certain media. You also say, very clearly, that the community is incapable or parsing that medias content.

which mentions an interest in philosophical/political manifestos and sometimes CS Lewis content but suggest they wouldn’t understand the syntax norms in them

Intentional or not your message is clear; you believe the community are less intelligent than you, aren’t “true” fans of the media, and couldn’t understand that media even if they were fans.

That could be true, you might be the smartest person in the room, though I have my doubts.

I have the pleasure of being friends with several individuals who are at least one deviation above myself on the intelligence scale and they communicate differently, but that doesn’t mean your communication style is good, or that people will be receptive to your attitude.
