If your video can be replaced by a title, it probably wasn't with watching

My thermostat increments by 0.5c

It's about crossing into triple digits, a new order of magnitude, it feels heavy.

Good news is, you will never be able to stop hobbyist 3d printing.

Sorry patent trolls, you can't make aluminum extrusion, stepper motors, an extruder, and a short circuit illegal.

Also when people in the trades work extra hard and extra fast, it's usually at the expense of their bodies, equipment, safety, and other factors. Just because one dude is sprinting back and forth between the parts window and the shop floor doesn't mean he should be. Management doesn't care though, and they say 'see how Jim finished 3 work orders today? You all need to do that'

Jim gets mad because he is destroying his body to work faster, and others aren't, everyone else is mad because now the managers think Jim's behavior should be standard.

All the 'fast' mechanics I worked with were always doing dumb shit, like standing too far up on ladders because a taller one wasn't available, loosening harnesses to get into tighter spots instead of working with a teammate, or carrying two way to heavy items instead of making two trips. Yes all this stuff gets jobs done quicker but at what cost.

So the union tells Jim to slow down, because he isn't getting paid more for breaking his back, and his behavior will just shift to the new normal, meaning he will have to work even harder to be an 'overachiver'. Jim construes this as compensating for lazy employees, get propagandized by the xompany and dismantles the union.

Six months later Jim falls off a ladder and can no longer work in that field. Meanwhile everyone else is still held to Jim's 'good work ethic' standard. More injuries, more injuries, more mistakes, employees start to see problems with the company, they form a union, the cycle continues.

That was my experience in aviation at least.

10 million yen is only 60k usd, that's a big bonus but not nearly as staggering as your comment implies.

It probably helps searchability, since now there is a fracture of people looking up 'X news' and 'Twitter news'

A $500 mill, some steel stock, hard work and the internet, and you too can make as many fully automatic firearms as you want.

If you don't want to do that, a pipe, nail and a 2x4 will get you a nice single shot 12 gauge.

Guns aren't really that hard to make, especially simple ones, you can reference the assassination of Shinzo Abe for an example

Today you learned that the majority of people don't live in the middle of nowhere?

Of course they don't, by definition, if a bunch of people lived there, it wouldn't be the middle of nowhere.

For example, I would like to group many related communities together and then browse just that grouping.

Anon didn't watch the movie then. Spoiler: there are multiple killers and it's a planned murder of people they know.

Edit: also the movie is a satire on the slasher genre anyway.

Edit again: >!also they use guns and stuff in the movie, it's like a whole thing!<

Them 'supposed to be everywhere' doesn't change that fact that they litter up the sidewalk and use the public areas of my town as a pseudo frontage for their business.

I have no problem with the bike systems that have docs for the bikes, it centralizes the locations and keeps the bike organized.

It's not ignorance, it's a full understanding that they pollute the public areas and already limited walkways in my city.

Sync gained a big following because it had a core feature many many moons ago, when having constant cell service was much less common, it allowed you download and save hundreds of posts and all the comments while you were on wifi, so you could browse reddit offline, it did this automatically and in the background (based on your settings ) hence the name 'Sync'. This was a killer feature back in the day, at least for me. As that became less of a need, the app continued to change and add a lot of nice features, like lots of customizations, random NSFW, a very good OLED dark mode, etc, so there was no point in switching to something else.
