@lupyuen No offense but fuck china.. only time they do anything involving "privacy" is as a sledgehammer to fuck its people over. A country that is striving to have 24/7 surveillance and facial recognition of its entire population, tracking their every movement, has no right to use the word privacy IMO.

@mur2501 Use pencils, it wont be caked in chemicals that way either. The easiest way I found to get them out of pencils is to expose the graphite on both ends then hook a voltage onto it. Crank it up until the pencil starts smoking, leave it like that for a minute or two, turn it off, let it cool down then the graphite will slide right out.

@nytpu No there hasnt been... while yes things that are extremely unlikely do happen all the time this is many orders of magnitude greater than that.

For anyone who still has devices with old AA, AAA, C, D, or 9V type batteries in it I highly recommend you move over to the USB chargable Li-ion type of the same format.

Most of those devices dont work with traditional rechargable batteries like NiMH because the voltage is a bit lower. Even if they do work they tend to last only a short period of time because as they discharge the voltage drops even further. So your device will often die even with 70% of charge still in those batteries.

With the newer USB rechargeable Li-ion type batteries of the same form factor, however, you have a drop-in replacement that doesnt have those issues. They basically are a LI-ion battery with a built in charger but more importantly with a DC-Dc converter to keep the voltage fixed at the desired voltage (1.5V or 9V) for the entire life of the battery. So they work in any device that they can fit in and lasts a long time as they deliver 100% of their power before cutting out (at which point it drops from 1.5V directly to about 0V).

The only downside is if your device reports a battery percentage then it will report 100% battery right up until it hits 0.

Anyway I replaced all my devices with batteries like this and they last longer than regular batteries in some cases (especially with 9V)... so I am sold!

@Iefan plot twist, he was praying to be immortal.

@danjones000 then we do the fibonaci sequence but you get to pick the starting 2 seed numbers. That way you know I didnt memorize it.

@danjones000 Put your money where your mouth is.. I will bet you I can get on webcam with you, type out the fibonaci sequence as you talk, and when im done I can recite anything you said... Willing to bet you 100$ in cryptocurrency I wont even flinch.

@sean Did they open a new ice cream parlour in your area called "The Gym" or something?

@lucifargundam

I cant see how they could be sued and not have the money go to trump

@mxtthxw@mastodon.online

@mxtthxw@mastodon.online I suspected that could be it, or something like that. But if thats the case he will just lose later on appeal.

Weird thing is I want TRUMP to lose, but I also want FB and twitter to looe.

Ok maybe there is one or two good people out there... but this doesnt make up for the rest of you shitty humans!

@denza252 To be fair he **tried** to do a hell of a lot while in office. He just threw down too many idiot cards to actually be able to get anything done.

@denza252 I'm kinda surprised he still has supporters left to be honest. For a man that talks about winning all the time he sure does a lot of losing.

LOL #Trump filed lawsuits against Facebook and Twitter.. He has gotten good at loosing lawsuits, as much as I would love to see those companies sued I'd rather it be by someone who is not an idiot and might win... What a joke.

PS He didnt even file the lawsuit in the correct state, LOL.

@Retrograde hehehe, just a bit :)

@Retrograde who needs cables. You are a sack of conductive fluid. Just lick your fingers and bridge the connection!

@danjones000

I dunno, I'd say the multiple authors and peer review professors of psychology that proved him wrong experimentally knew more about what they were talking about than the one phd that wrote an opinion piece to the contrary.

@beanface42

I must admit, the physics books do get a bit ridiculous :)

@Zest They lived up to the ideals just fine.. the problem is the ideals are such that they will always create the worst sort of hell on earth. The whole idea of communism boils down to the government having ultimate control, distilling all the power away from the people, away from the workers, and concentrating it in the government. As they say, power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Communism can never and will never work. Greed and selfishness will garuntee that. Capitalism is a far sight better, doesnt mean there cant be something even better, but communism certainly aint it.

Not only is the comparison in the meme not dumb.. it is **literally** the reason communism cant work, selfish people, particularly when being selfish is rewarded the same as being generous.
