I think this button don’t actually do anything similar to those age verification site. My best guess it’s meant to make an actual terrorist to put them unease giving chance for airport police to detect basically psy ops.
Tbf there were people in the audience holding water bottles which could be thrown as a deadly weapon – how do you know those bottles aren’t full of kerosene – and also filming the officer which can lead to the officer’s family being threatened by doxxing. The only people allowed to threaten the officer’s family with violence is the officer
I didn’t think about this possibility. The ratings are dropping and we need more viewership. How about next year Simmons Viles? Is that the correct spelling? How about she trains all the shooters to do a few cart wheels and such before actually shooting. Basically like an Xman event level demonstration of agility and dexterity. But let’s hope none of them are cops of this might end badly.
Unless they arrive a little late and, upon hearing the sound of gunfire coming from within the stadium, barricade themselves outside and wait for the shooters to run out of bullets or targets.
3.658 meters isn’t inherently any more comprehensible than 12 feet. I think “about 2 fairly tall dudes high” is better than 60 something books either way.
No one will say 3.658m. We would say about 3.5m or 3 and a half meters. I’m pretty sure those 12’ are not exact either. You wouldn’t say 11 feet, 5 and 1/32 inches, right?
Okay, 3.5 meters is not any more inherently comprehensible than 12 feet.
I’m not denying the superiority of metric, I wish the US would just switch over already. However, unless you already know how long a meter or foot is in reality, you won’t have a good idea how high she can jump. Relating it to something makes it a lot easier to understand. Jumping 35 books is a terrible analogy, but jumping over 2 tall men would work pretty well.
Well, if you’re already familiar with the metric system, you can probably guess how long a meter is. It’s like when you’re used to the imperial system and you can guess how long a foot is or something like that.
Having the units in imperial and metric is much more comprehensible for most people compared to imperial and a large number of books of which I don’t even know how thick they are
My hot take: it’s not really a “computer” unless it’s Turing-complete. The Antikythera mechanism is incredibly cool and all, but it can only perform a finite, fixed set of calculations and thus fails to meet that definition.
does anyone know what finite fixed set of operations it performs? because its doesn’t tale much for turinh complete basically just sum negation, and compare
The Antikythera mechanism is more like a mechanical clock or calendar than an arithmetic machine.
Imagine building a simple mechanical clock that tells the hours and minutes. You could even add a second hand. And an AM/PM display. And a day of the week display. Maybe even a dial that does the days and months, and that dial does a cycle of several years to keep track of leap years. Keep adding features in that fashion until it can tell you if there are summer or winter Olympic games this year and if Jupiter is in Pisces in August of 2077 and you’ll eventually have the Antikythera mechanism.
It had a single knob on the side that the user would turn, and this would drive an impressively sophisticated set of gears which would move a set of dials on the front and back of the device. One of these dials displays an ancient Greek month/year calendar which includes a complicated un-leap day system, a dial for predicting solar and lunar eclipses, and a big display on the front that shows the position of the planets in the night sky, along with the moon and its phases. It even kept up with the cycle of the Pan-Hellenic games.
Check out a Youtube channel called Clickspring to watch a very talented Australian guy named Chris build a replica of the machine and/or receive a brain massage. Both his metalwork and his videography are sumptuous.
Not sure why a for profit corporation would limit its market to a specific, politically oriented, demographic. Especially when that corporations product is body hair removal - a process very much detached from all political and most social discourse.
They probably decided that support among the “anti-woke” MAGA folks will outweigh the backlash of everyone else. Just trying to find a way to position on the market.
Though history shows this kind of stuff normally fails, with target audience quickly forgetting the move and the rest not giving a damn.
You need to understand the mindset, the culture, the reason it was even created. It’s not their most profitable line, but it’s not about that, anyway. It wasn’t created to make profit; it’s a real product born of a joke. Daily Wire said men & women are different, a handful of people complained to Harry’s Razors, Harry’s ended their business with Daily Wire.
It was initially created solely so men didn’t have to buy from Harry’s. I would argue Gillette as well, but Harry’s for sure, that’s what they launched their product on & they bought IHateHarrys.com & has it redirect to Jeremy’s Razors.
Not a piss take. But yes part of the show. It’s entirely owned and operated by the chuds at the Daily Wire and their entire purpose is right wing culture war. It’s just classic conservative grifting
You joke but they almost certainly do. Why sell something to one group when you can repackage it and sell it to two different groups? And the “women’s” version is usually marked up for no reason.
They don’t. If you look into them it’s entirely a company owned by the same guy that owns The Daily Wire. It’s literally only there to grift from their audience and further their culture war.
Along these lines, there is no stupider entry in the American index than that of “Jeremy’s Razors,” a grooming company created by The Daily Wire, a conservative media platform founded in 2015 by Ben Shapiro (a political commentator you may have heard of) and Jeremy Boreing (a former film director you probably haven’t heard of, and the namesake for the venture).
Because they’re not in it for profit. It’s a project of the chuds at the Daily Wire. Any profit is a side effect of their true goal, right wing culture war. It exists to take money from their fans and use their “successful business” to prove that they’re correct. They’d still do it even if it wasn’t profitable just to push their preferred narrative.
Is a real product, with a real commercial, really saying that line. And it wasn’t even for political reasons, they just wanted men to drink their diet soda.
It’s because they’ve conditioned their audience to believe a few key things:
“Voting” with your wallet is what matters over all other forms of action.
Giving money to “woke” companies harms you as an individual.
Buying products is the best way to signal your value as a person.
Let’s break that down.
They want money to be more important than voting, because they understand that their political demographic does not win the popular vote in most cases, and their policies are inherently not popular with the majority. But when they can get money instead, then use that to influence votes and policy, well, that just might get them the policies they want without substantial votes from the public.
They want people to fear giving money to “woke” corporations because it makes them seem like the only source of real truth, and objectivity. They’re the voices of reason in a world that’s all against you. Then, you’ll be willing to pay for their subscription streaming service, and their subscription streaming service for kids, and their merch, and their chocolate, and their razors, et cetera et cetera.
They want you to associate buying products as the way to define yourself, because when you so strongly identify with their politics, you’ll spend as much money as you can signaling to those around you that you don’t support the “woke” agenda through your wallet, you only support those who truly embody your cause. Giving them money becomes a symbol of your values.
And of course, they wouldn’t get any sales without this as a selling point. If they just start a razor brand, not affiliated with their political ventures, who’s gonna buy?Their razors are effectively the same price as Gilette’s, just without the likely higher standard of quality and availability in physical retail locations.
But when they combine all three of those tactics I mentioned to make their target demographic believe they need these razors to display their values, stop a perceived evil agenda, and make their voice heard… well, then you’ve got a good revenue stream.
They’ll never get a huge chunk of the market, but the customers they will have will be loyal and can be leveraged to sell other stuff to. Wouldn’t surprise me if these razors are just repackaged stuff from another brand.
There is an entire coffee company dedicated to mUrica. It’s just fucking coffee but if you sell it right these idiots will buy literally anything that even pretends they be American and conservative
Obviously the Pharaohs were literal giants. The reason discovered mummies are all human sized is because their divine alien essence was bled away after death to be channeled into the stars by the divine shape of the pyramids, leaving only a human-sized husk behind which modern “science” thinks is just some kind of dried out human. /s
but android auto reads out the message and asks if this is what you want to send. I usually just answer “yeah sure whatever” if it’s either close enough or funny.
