DaddleDew , (edited ) in Elon Musk went judge shopping in ad lawsuit and didn’t get the judge he wanted

It blows my mind that somehow he thinks that he can just sue people because they don’t want to do business with him. This is purely frivolous and a bullying tactic.

Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzine is lost).

Gsus4 , in Elon Musk draws fire for playing down impact of America’s atomic bombing of Japan: ‘Not as scary as people think’

Ok, so now that’s Japan, EU, UK and Brazil that hate elon’s guts. He’s gonna start to run out of democracies to fuck with, will he move on to dictators or is that friendly fire?

Phoenicianpirate ,

He will not mess with dictators. Because in those countries he can get anything he wants just by bribing a few people. Not so in democracies.

jaemo ,

As a nation of one, one of my foreign policy agendas is the eradication of everything Elon Musk stands for. All my cells voted in favor of this, we are not a house divided.

Gsus4 , (edited )

yeah, yeah, there are people of all kinds in these places, but know that if he attacks your institutions, he is not on your side. Governments have taken notice and are starting to act on it.

collapse_already , in A reckoning is coming for Florida's condo owners as buildings face millions in repairs

You would think the rapidly escalating insurance cost would be a warning that Florida is not good or safe place to live. If your home is built on shifting sand, threatened by rising seas, and virtually guaranteed to be regularly battered by violent storms perhaps you should move before it completely depreciated. Floridians better hope Aquaman has a big checkbook.

Every child rapist should be booed, and worse, whether they’re an olympic athlete, a former president, whatever

Zahille7 , in Elon Musk draws fire for playing down impact of America’s atomic bombing of Japan: ‘Not as scary as people think’

I’d like to take a moment to share this video about what happens to the human body at different zones of the blast. It’s pretty horrific, but simulated.

classic ,

How fast would the disintegration in zone 5 (fireball) happen? Would the nervous system even register it?

meco03211 ,

Wouldn’t feel a thing. At minimum the blast would travel at the speed of sound ~343m/s. Nerve conduction velocity is on the range of 120m/s. Your nerves would be vapor before the signal reached its destination.

Tom_Hanx_the_Actor ,

This is both comforting and incredibly morbid. Idk how to feel.

nucleative ,

No need to feel

Honytawk ,

You wouldn’t feel it, that is the point

Zink ,

The absurd amount of radiation (thermal included) would get there even faster!

meco03211 ,

I figured. I was just sure the minimum would be speed of sound. Other than speed of light, I’ve no idea what the maximum would be.

Zink ,

I want to say the shock wave moves faster than the speed of sound, but yeah it’s hard to beat the speed of light.

The chain reaction happens super fast, so all that energy is dumped in a practical instant.

classic ,

Okay then. I call shotgun for zone 5

meco03211 ,

Sounds good. I’ll choose zone 0. Or whatever is outside the blast radius. Good luck.

Break them up. and then don’t let them slowly re-consolidate in the following 20 years.

don’t let them slowly re-consolidate in the following 20 years

I too remember how AT&T was broken up only for most of its Baby Bells to remerge back into Ma Bell. https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/e40092c7-b56c-4e9c-a2e2-1cd4f93115ba.webp

To prevent this for future breakups, I say the content and services sold by big tech should be made competitively compatible and interoperable via nullification of DRM laws; people buy music and movies and cloud storage; let them legally move their purchases to any competitor and big tech companies will break up naturally as local competitors emerge from people who dislike big tech for their own reasons. Monopolies cannot be trusted to lower prices for content and services. Legally nullifying DRM is like the FCC telling customers in 1968 that it was finally okay to ignore the “Bell equipment only” legal warning that had kept them locked into leasing their telephone sets for usurious amounts from AT&T for decades. A few years later, in 1982, AT&T was broken up. AT&T is almost a total monopoly again, but phones remain interoperable.

AnarchistArtificer ,

This was a great comment. You argue this so effectively that it will influence how I argue about monopolies in future — I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people who critique aspects of the world to know how to fix them, but it certainly does help if one has specific points for how things should be different.

The World Trade Center was destroyed by terrorists, but they built a new one. Not as scary as you think.

skuzz , in FTC head wants investigation into grocery stores over inflated prices

Not only inflated prices, start measuring and draining canned vegetables. They’re all slacking off with the ratio of food to filling. One can of veggies that allegedly had 425g of vegetable in it ended up only having 200g of vegetable in it after the liquid was drained.

Kit ,

Fresh or frozen vegetables are better for you, and usually cost the same as canned.

skuzz ,

That’s not the issue at hand. The theft part is.

mozz , in MAGA election official immediately spews conspiracies after conviction
@mozz@mbin.grits.dev avatar

I feel like a lot of these people are unprepared for the civil war they claim to want

When you live your whole life in a cushy environment with more competent people than you making sure that the lights stay on and the food keeps coming, it’s easy to have this weird fantasy that you are God’s chosen person and you can wander around believing and doing whatever you want. Just looking at this woman’s face, though, I feel like she would be the first to abandon her convictions and say yes judge I’ll do whatever you want once the cell door swings closed for real. Maybe I am wrong but that is the feeling I get from looking at her.

homesweethomeMrL ,

You’re probably right. But the MAGAsphere is going to wring a few more clicks out of her before she’s discarded. And she can’t wait to help them do it.

Gork , in ‘You feel like you’re suffocating’: Florida outdoor workers are collapsing in the heat without water and shade

From one of the disgusting opinion pieces linked in the Guardian article, written by a corpo douchebag.

But the route to continued progress is critical, and a recent misstep by Miami-Dade County could result in an existential crisis for two of the county’s largest industries: agriculture and construction.

Existential? Ten minute water breaks every two hours will cause an existential crisis? Bullshit.

Proponents point to increased heat incidents in the community, but offer no evidence that ties those occurrences to being work-related or work-caused, let alone related to the agriculture and construction industries.

It’s pretty self evident that working outside in hot conditions, at the requirement of your employer, is by definition a work related activity.

Our industries never were approached by the proposals supporters or its commission sponsors before it was introduced.

Because you all would say no? This argument reeks of corporate entitlement.

it creates a new county “heat police” department funded by the fines they issue on our companies.

Regulation without enforcement is toothless. Also it isn’t like these companies like these constantly skirt regulations anyway and get hit with minor fines that might as well be considered the cost of doing business.

Proponents claim this ordinance will help build stronger agriculture and construction industries here. In reality, it will only wear them down and tear them apart.

Heat-striken workers are less productive, which has much more of an impact than 0.8 hours water breaks over the course of an entire day.

Samvega OP ,

When punishing the poor is more important than productivity.

What an absolute ghoul.

Both Musk’s and Rowling’s encuntification has reached nuclear levels. They’re beyond help.

I hope Imane wins. I hope for that more than I hope for world peace.

Consider it a stepping stone towards world peace.
