  • If it would be something that’s needed, that would improve humanity in anyway, maybe.

    But here’s the problem, these will kill off entire ecosystems. The installation alone will do that, but also whatever anti-corrosion, anti-growth coating on the outside that has to be somehow maximally thermally conductive will do that. The ocean is alive, it wants to be alive, and that life destroys metal and organic matter. It also just eats through petroleum products and every single type of coating we have invented.

    So no matter what these will be coated in some toxic paint, that will need to be frequently reapplied, like within 6 months of application, because we want to keep thermal conductivity and barnacles and various other sealife are what I would think everyone can agree are ‘insulating’ layers.

    So where-ever these are will have an entire town built up around them for the constant maintenance; which again involves constantly killing off everything that grows around them and on them, while leeching toxic materials to the environment.


  • It really does, as lumping in 2A with the rest of it, or suggesting ‘gun nuts’ are right-wing in general, or that there isn’t an incredibly large portion of the ‘gun nut’ community that is fully anti trump and has multiple armed anti-trump rallies speaks to your biases and beliefs. Those with ‘anti-gun’ or other extremist beliefs tend to ignore all information and news that goes against their belief. Pretending it is the right or republican voters that are the most ‘2A don’t tread on me gun nuts’ is denying the entirety of the existence of the left. I’ll admit there are few people openly left wing the in the united states since they started being literally hunted down and killed by the government starting in the 1880s, but they’re there, and they’re why dems keep losing when they introduce far-right policies like removing guns from a populace.

    You’re either ignorant of reality, or you simply choose to believe an alternative reality that you’ve been brainwashed to believe. In either case the result of your comment would be Trump being the only one armed, which is antithetical to your own life, as well as the lives over ~95% of the US population.

    Gun control cannot exist under liberal western democracy, much less during its inevitable decay into fascism. Period. It’s not a thing the population can allow, as liberal western democracy, which has so far only resulted in fascism, is far too unstable to allow that vulnerability.

    If the 2A was actually as dangerous as liberal propaganda suggests, there wouldn’t be concentration camps in the US.





  • It’s because both parties act as a ratcheting effect towards one singular goal. While there are minor disputes among the owners of the US on how best to reach that goal, they generally both agree that an armed populace is antithetical to their long term control, especially as quality of life continues to drop drastically across the population while they build their replacement for the working class.

    Dems do their best to stall actual developmental progress (no kids, letting you buy insurance that has no coverage outside niche lifestyle conditions and letting gay people marry temporarily is not progressing society in any way) while republicans crank towards the shared goal by destroying progress and offering a ‘antiestablishment’ path that does nothing to harm the establishment.

    If one side says ‘yeah totally, keeep your guns, fight for your guns,’ while doing everything to eliminate everything that actually matters for your quality of life, and the other side says ‘yeah sure we’ll improve your quality of life, but we want to take your guns,’ then both sides funnel different groups into a looped cycle where life objectively gets worse for the average person, but the average person doesn’t know how to blame so they just pick a team colour to hate for their lifetime.

    Progress stopped in the 1960s in the US, and was dead in the water besides temporary privileges, not rights, after 1972.

    I wonder wtf happened in 1972.




  • No kiddo, people that have more knowledge than you are not tankies. I understand you guys love your thought terminating cliches like all right-wingers, but do try to open your mind a bit before the leopards you’re supporting eat your face.

    And yes, thank you for proving my point. Click through the ‘citations,’ that all link back to the same three organizations, none of which have ever operated in China nor have any knowledge of China. There are no first hand sources of knowledge on this, because there is no Chinese language coverage of this supposed ban. Anywhere. From any point in time.



  • Because it is more electrically conductive than tarnished copper or silver, so electronics prefer gold since it can’t tarnish and will never degrade. If silver was chosen for CPUs, for instance, pretty much all devices would have to be hermetically sealed or be replaced within 18 months. Copper is only used in electronics when it will be relatively sealed in place (like in PCBs)


  • Hahahaha… no. It is the lowest quality highest expense piece of shit from a company that spent most of its money during the bid bribing those running the bid. Sorry not ‘bribing,’ simply giving gifts, dinners, and event invites.

    Every single Harbor Freight tool is the same quality, and in many cases come from the exact same production line, as tools sold to the military that have a 100x mark up. This isn’t even a controversial fact. This is something every single service member that was a mechanic knows. The military pays $115 for a single hammer that will break exactly as fast as a $5 special. But the $115 hammer was made by a company that was made in Congressman Fuckwitzberg’s district and paid off the board members reviewing their app more than other brands.
