Correct. In almost all sporting events, women can wear whatever they like. Most choose to wear the least, both for performance reasons (it’s more aerodynamic) and because many are rightfully proud of their bodies and want to be seen.
And many of the broadcast execs are women, and would prefer that the women athletes not be seen. It’s that female intrasexual competition again….
The clown-ass left hates nuclear power because they despise all progress and anything that might not be living in a fucking mud hut and eating algae. But yes, we should be doing much more with nuclear. There are no excuses, only NIMBY idiots standing in the way.
I love it; that’s the sign drawn across the sky itself of progress.
I don’t care about how much I sleep, when I sleep, tracking my sleep, doing anything else about sleep than I already do, having a sleep schedule or even really giving much of a crap about sleep.
I just do not care. It’s mostly irrelevant to how I live my life. Why are people so obsessed with this? Sleep when you need to, don’t when you don’t. Simple.
That is exactly right.
Anyone else dealing with users who think rebooting is a personal insult?
There are tons of users like this.
I understand that you want your problem examined in minute detail by a team of experts and fixed. But computers are extremely complicated devices. Often, they get into a state that is not and never will be capable of being solved in any reasonable timeframe. Many DLLs and EXEs (etc.) do unpredictable, undocumented things that no one except the vendor can solve when they go wrong. And often, not even then.
Fucking reboot. Just reboot. Shut the fuck up and reboot. Fuck.
A few weeks ago, I had a user complain to my manager — all without putting in a ticket or contacting anyone on my team — that their machine was extremely slow and not working correctly. Why do people do that, contact a manager when they’ve made no effort to follow any process1? It just means I put them at the very bottom of every queue forevermore.
Looked at the logs. They had not rebooted in 184 days. Windows 11 needs a reboot about once a week to be functional.
I do not understand users.
Many women: I am the prize!
Men: But you offer nothing. You can’t cook. You can’t do anything adult. You’re dumb as a rock because you spend 16 hours a day scrolling on your phone. You don’t even like sex. What are you even here for?
Many women: The prize! The prize! The prize!
Men: *Goes off and does something away from the crazy*
We have really failed women.
Claude is definitely a little pissbaby compared to ChatGPT. It’s a moralizing Church Lady. It’s making me likely to stop using it and return to OpenAI as its “safety” bullshit kicks in constantly for no reason at all.
Safety my ass. It’s just censorship.
This is just not true. This is why I have so much trouble with liberal/leftist thought. It’s no more scientifically sound than conservative fantasies. “Believe science” is a religious cry, and not based on any reality. Check it.
Cars are a rounding error in load-based road wear. Large trucks cause almost all road wear, and it’s not even close.
You see, road damage scales with roughly the fourth power of axle load. Double the weight on an axle and you get ~16x the damage, not 2x.
A passenger car puts maybe ~1 ton on an axle while a fully-loaded semi puts ~8 tons. That ratio to the fourth power is in the thousands. The commonly cited illustration (from the old GAO-style estimate) is that one fully loaded 18-wheeler does the pavement damage of roughly 9,600 cars. In fact, road planners often don’t even account for car wear when building a road — only that of large trucks. So this doof gets their central premise exactly backwards. Cars are not “very destructive to roads.” In load terms they’re nearly irrelevant.
And hilariously it is invoking road-damage savings to justify free public transit. But buses are very heavy vehicles. A loaded city bus does hundreds to thousands of cars’ worth of pavement damage on its own. Thus, the road-wear case for transit only really holds for rail as buses are road-eaters.
In other words, banning every car on the road would not noticeably reduce road wear. But getting rid of all large trucks and all buses would. And those are the facts, not whatever weird degrowther clownery that nonsense is. And facts are all I fucking care about.
Nailed it.
In other news, women still have bodies, and liberals continue to be shocked and appalled when women use those bodies to compete in sports events.
Amazing.
That’s right. Stores stock so much less than they did in the 1990s, which was (as it was for many things) peak plenitude.
Even though the clown-ass doofshit degrowthers deny it, it is now a lot more efficient to order from Amazon or another retailer that has well-trod logistics pathways where adding an item to a route that will already occur is nearly free. Otherwise, I’ll drive to 27 different stores, still not find what I want, and end up ordering it online any damn way. But to a degrowther that is somehow more efficient.
The world has changed, but the degrowthers are just as worthless as ever.
That’s right. My partner and I have lifted roughly the same amount and the same intensity over the past 5+ years. I started out right at twice as strong as she is. I’m still twice as strong. In my explosive 1RM power, I’m even stronger than that. And she’s in the top 99% of strength for women and I’m only around the top 80% for men. (In other words, quite a few men are a lot stronger than I am. But I’m near the top end of what my genetics allow.)
There is no world in which bio men should be competing in women’s sports. None. QED.
The “feminist” obsession with trying to convince men they are evil for liking attractive women (who aren’t them) is not going to work out as well as they hope.
Social media + smartphones really did drive a bunch of people absolutely insane.
Stuff like this makes me laugh. This is poorly band-aiding a problem that was well and fully solved 40 fucking years ago and worked great since then.
When inept devs reinvent something incompetently and needlessly, they really do it right wrong.
But we will keep going down this dead end, I guess, because some folks just adore complexity for its own sake.
