  • Yep, I drew out a plausible plan in another thread on how that could work.

    Arrest them on corruption, Espionage, domestic terrorism, etc charges. Either move them to an offshore blacksite, or “accidentally” kill them during the arrest.

    That would certainly fall under “official acts”, and if it’s overstepping authority, well, who cares because even if they’re deemed crimes, they were done in the context of official duties to keep this country safe.

    And then when the corrupt SCOTUS members are purged, fill the seats with those that will uphold that Bidens orders were official acts. And Biden can pardon those executing his orders.

    This is exactly what the SCOTUS just enabled. It’s absolutely abhorrent. And Biden would never do it because it’s obviously anti democratic and would establish a dictatorship.

    But Trump WILL do it. And the current SCOTUS will allow it.


  • No no no no, you don’t get it.

    BIDEN is not a king. Because the conservative owned SCOTUS will rule that whatever crimes he commits in office are not done as official business.

    TRUMP is the future first monarch. Only his crimes will be deemed official business.

    This ruling is just setting him up for a SCOTUS pardon, which they just granted themselves the power to do, so he can assume his throne.

    SCOTUS gave themselves the power to absolve the POTUS of crimes. And POTUS already has the power to absolve anyone else of federal crimes.

    Yep. Totally what the founders wanted.











  • Yeah. That’s their intent. But they really don’t know for sure that their stunt won’t have some completely unexpected effect. Some slow reaction with that specific kind of stone that only matters if the powder gets deep into some cracks for 200 years or whatever. Or attracts stone eating bacteria of some sort.

    The point is that they dont know what they dont know. Every time they pull one of these stunts, they are introducing the risk of irrevocable damage to historically significant objects that should be left to future generations.

    Stop fucking around with human history. Stone Henge is a world wonder.

    Superman has always been a bit of a boring character, which IMO is hard to write for to make interesting beyond the origin / coming of age story.

    I think screwing up Batman is a lot more offensive. So much good lore and villians to work with.

    IMO, Affleck played a terrible Fatman. He wasn’t dark and brooding, he was wooden and boring. It wasn’t just the story, but Afflecks portrayal of the character.





  • I’m gonna reduce that. Shareholders don’t give a shit about working hours. They just care about revenue and expenses.

    This is purely a management issue. Upper management might insist on these metrics as a way to crack down on productivity. In my personal experience as a dev, middle management doesn’t give about metrics unless someone (upper management) forces them to. Because at the end of the day, its just a pain in the ass hounding subordinates about trivial shit if theyre actually performing where it matters. So anecdotally, I will say this seems to exclusively come from upper management. But I’m sure people have different experiences.

    The problem is that upper management is usually so divorced from the real day to day problems that the easy win they can take to their superiors is stupid shit like apm metrics.


  • He is correct that the forces are different. The equation for centripetal force is Fc = Mv2/R.

    Radius is the distance from the focal point, and each seat will be different distances.

    So he is technically correct that seat position could be calculated in perfect conditions with accurate measurements.

    But none of the data that reaches this service will be remotely accurate or complete enough to make that determination. It will only have one passengers phone data, and even if it collected everyones phone data, phone sensors have a margin of error well above what the difference would be. GPS data is only even marginally accurate up to something like 6ft, and really not even then. Then cars have a lot of other factors like suspension and compression in seats, etc, that would absorb enough of the forces to muddy the data even if accurate sensors were everywhere.

    Tl;dr; another cocky person that took a few physics courses but walked away with a poor understanding of real world applications talking out their ass.


  • Essentially what I’ve been doing. HD rental truck. But truck availability and requiring multiple round trips to return and pick up my car means I put it off until I’m blocked, and then needlessly stock up on sheet goods that I might need in the future, but ultimately sit around for a year or two before I use them.

    But yeah, this is what I’m doing while I bide my time for truck prices to drop. And I’ve push back a bunch of projects that rely on ply because I just don’t want to deal with the hassle.

    To your point, I bet the trailers are probably more readily available. The trucks themselves are very hit or miss in my experience. But there always seems to be trailers in the lot.
