@freemo Beause it is aweasome! (I saw one, but do not have one... yet) Nathan said there are 100 (or so) on order, so they should be available for sale soon:

Dr. Prutchi shows how armatures can participate pin deep space exploration by receiving signals from spacecraft. (and compares it to watching blades of grass grow, lol.) #hackadaysupercon

@freemo @dashrandom I'd add that this "cycle" can also be viewed this way:
Using violence to discipline someone sets a standard. Namely that using violence to resolve conflicts is acceptable.

It might look like it works short term, since those using violence are usually stronger: Adults vs. Children, Prison guards vs. Prisoners.

So to refine the description before: The standard set is that violence to resolve conflict is fine if one is stronger than the other person.

Longer term, many of those people will go on to apply said standard. You might just not get to see much of the results individually.

I don't care if there is a Hamas operative in that orphanage. I do not want you to carpet bomb the orphanage, just send in some troops to get the operative. Killing the orphans is genocide and I will never approve of this.

> what if beating kids prevents them from doing things that will cause them even greater harm in future?

What if unicorns shat rainbows? It doesnt, so the what if regarding something that isnt true doesnt mean much.

> As far as I know, most parents don't beat their kids out of anger but rather to discipline them.

Thats just a lie they tell themselves so they can justify their beatings. And even if it were true it wouldnt make the beatings any less abhorrent.

When parents beat their kids "out of disciplin" what they are really saying is they beating them out of frustration and anger that their kids arent listening, nothing more. They just need to pretend they are doing it for altrusitic reasons. Even most murderers need to find an excuse for what they do and usually find a way to excuse it as a greater good... it isnt.

> If that discipline prevents even greater self destructive behaviour in future

It doesnt, quite the opposite, it creates adults with deep rooted psychological issues who are likely to have all sorts of functioning problems. Worse yet since they are never taught to cope with their issues they likely lack the skills to even address their now underlying issues, or even the self awareness to recognizet he problem. They likely just go on to beat their own children and continue the cycle.

> is it not justified?

Since that doesnt happen this is a moot question.

> Keep in mind that it takes time for children to understand concepts of right and wrong or "this could kill/hurt me or others".

No it doesnt... by the time a kid is able to learn from a beating they are able to reason. Regardless even if this isnt true there are plenty of punishments that dont require you to beat your child.

Would anyone have interest if I hosted a sort of public pod-cast. Basically it would be a podcast with a open video conference were people can join. We would have round table discussions and debates following one-on-one initial interviews or intros.

I still don't know how to feel about this

New introduction:
Hi. I lost hundreds of followers here after speaking my truth about what's happening as an Israeli with family directly affected by the massacre and kidnapping. People mainly gaslight me on the facts I live through, I barely functioned this past month bc of this. I'm an artist and a neurodivergent queer, here to connect with people who love music, film and crafts.
I want all to love and live in peace.
If you vibe with that let's chat more.

Why do I believe #Biden will lose in 2024?
1. Most people voted for him because they hated Trump.
2. The lack of voter enthusiasm sealed Hillary's fate in 2016. Trump has many die-hard fans; Biden doesn't.
3. His blind support of Israel will not give him more votes from conservative Jews and will give him fewer from Liberal #Jews. He will lose many votes from #Muslims.
4. Most Gen Y and Z believe he is too old.

@freemo I have with police officers on a few occasions.

Nathan Jones is expertly explaining how last year’s #hackadaysupercon badge, the Voja4, is more than just a blinky toy—its a full computer.

@freemo Probably not, but I'm going to start 😂
