well that you can’t tell good from bad is a skill issue on your part then

inshallah in five years all of this horseshit will be distant fever dream memory

i like the 2y+ lead time

will pencil keep it wide open enough? the intention was to keep it slightly open, then put it in a bag and go around. years back when i had a laptop that shut down wifi with lid closed i solved that by taping a packet of instant ramen to palmrest for one evening

macos users have budget for these objects

depending on your build, putting an extra switch disconnecting lid switch could be a better idea because power management is hell on linux

it’s all slop

because it’s targeted at tools, too

and also, it would break the hinges in intended use, and as pictured it can’t work (doesn’t hold the lower half). pair of wedge shaped things would work much better, i think

keyboard is wrong way for the same reason

i see no reason why P/E could be negative, then it works like negative absolute temperature

there is a degree of risk that is acceptable for business. 90% drug trials fail; if you are inventor, you make a startup, package your pre-trial drugs and associated IP there, then pitch it up and cash out. vcs have money for clinical trials. sometimes you have phase 1 results that you got on your own too. the further it goes in trials the more it is worth; result is the biggest gacha in the town

techbros really just want to be slavers and mask slipped now a bit more

flights to east asia are much more expensive from europe, and the cheapest ones were with stopover in one of gulf countries (qatar or uae generally) now you can get direct lufthansa flight over polar circle, but you’ll pay

tiny little problem of spinal cord attachment, surely It Will Be Solved™. at least they didn’t throw nanobots at it

i guess that immortal oligarch class is a 100% ethical thing for them

their practical skills are weak, and they won’t survive the winter (because they don’t know how to make jam)

but frame the same physics in terms of what makes steam turbine spin, and they’ll pretend to get it but won’t apply it anywhere else. the longer you look the worse it gets. it’s like they have never watched how it’s made as kids

But anyways - why is there a vacuum in the jar? To preserve the jam? Isn’t jam a preserve? Like, I thought the whole raison d’etre of jam was as a way to make fruit keep, unrefrigerated, through the winter? Why must we preserve the preserve? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

this is “fucking magnets, how do they work” translated to rationalist, except that explaining magnets involves quantum mechanics and explaining jam jars involves high school physics (saturated vapor pressure vs temperature. that might be before high school). i also like how one linked explanation sits near two pieces of slop and is wrong
