Religious conservatives love project 2025. Most Republicans are ~~Religious~~ brainwashed Christofascists, so they love it.
I'm trying to populate my bingo card. So far I have "TSLA Tanks" and "Martial Law Declared." It feels like cheating to include "Musk does a cringey thing" and "Trump says something stupid" but I'll keep them in the backup pile.
Well yeah, the only cyberway to cyberattach cybertrim is with cyberglue.
That doesn't make it good, it makes it cybergood. Which is another word for shit.
Derek from Veritasium also made a great video about the various voting systems and which one seems to be the most democratic: https://youtu.be/qf7ws2DF-zk
I hope to someday see a Rated Choice ballot.
I think I even read it can gradually spontaneously self-charge if left alone long enough with the terminals insulated from each other. I don't know if that's actually true (it would seem to be a sort of Maxwell's Daemon at that point), but yeah, best to not take chances.
Funny how the onslaught of conventional advertising has made us apathetically numb to it. Veritasium did a fun feature on that a while back. It's the unconventional subliminal stuff I can't definitively identify as advertising that scares me...
Hahaha, funny you mention that. I was this close to trying to open an old CRT set many years ago when that little voice in my head said, hey, maybe look up what happens when you do that. I decided I didn't need to go through with it.
That being said, DLP sets are my absolute favorite to dig into. So many awesome optical components, mirrors, and cooling fans inside. I didn't find anything that seemed too dangerous, either.
Welllllllll, you're probably right. I hope you're right. But, just to be on the safe side of sane, please allow me to recommend this nicely-made retrospective about the 2001 film portraying the Wannsee conference, for your cerebral pleasure.
I didn't realize they were the #1 killer. Most of them via electrocution of the HV capacitor, I would imagine?
15ish years ago I got lucky and didn't kill myself on the first one I ever cracked open. I managed to become marginally more intelligent and after poking around in it decided it'd be smart to research the art of microwave dismantling, which led to a minor anxiety attack and cold sweats when I realized how stupid I had been.
He's a treasure. The inside of a microwave is insane in its casual dangers. Like that HV capacitor, or, more insidiously, the beryllium insulator that can cause berrylliosis if broken and inhaled.
Self-replicating protein fibers growing like plant roots through brain tissue? The only thing I can think of that would be worse is that fungus that infects an ant's brain and makes it go crazy.
Dang. At least in Black Mirror 21st century politics got to be shadow-ruled by an animated blue dog puppet, which took a modicum of the edge off the oppression.
