  • I think that’s a different discussion.m. We can make excuses all day for how people end up with extreme views. It doesn’t change anything. The reason it occurs is part of human nature, a weakness that one has to choose to overcome on a daily basis or not. Choosing wrong too often and there might be no way back.

    I find this most evident in people who suddenly shift right when they end up in some sex scandal, they move towards the group that is most forgiving of such events and lose themselves in the shift. Russel Brand and Musk are two examples.

    Knowledge seeking for the sake of knowledge seeking is something totally different. It requires accepting one knows nothing and despite all the knowledge gather now knows less. It requires a humility that can be uncomfortable.

    Few end up adding significant new knowledge. Those who do maintain a humbleness as the recognize the efforts who came before them.

    Those who pretend become exploiters, it takes little effort to reveal their search was only ever for loopholes. Those people are another form of extremist.



  • Microsoft and Nvidia are investing but they are both positioned to gain a return on investment by cloud hosting and hardware sales respectively.

    Apple dropping out indicates they saw behind the curtain, did the math and realized they can create their own platform for less.

    There is no path to profitability for them. Unlike other recent billion dollar tech companies there are no human workers to squeeze. Hardware doesn’t work for less than minimum wattage.



  • Usenet is the way but I’ve never witnessed someone who torrents see the light in a penny comment thread. Few people truly understand opsec and how to quantify their own risk surface, but those who do will gravitate towards Usenet.

    Speed is also a factor. Casuals don’t understand what it is to grab a release before a torrent has found the first seeder.








  • Based on the dark humor groups on Facebook, I am quite confident this is what racists actually believe. Transphobes too.

    The poorly educated think dark humor is a joke an acceptable way to joke about ideas they hate.

    When a study linking dark humor to intelligence was released, the knuckle draggers clucked and strutted about, thinking their hatred indicated intelligence.

    You missed the part about hours spend in detention.

    Punishment is not an accepted means of instruction because it causes this type of trauma response.

    They may have learned French but they also learned to hate learning French which is counter- productive to continuing with French education.


  • It may not be monthly but there are companies that will monitor your levels and schedule refills as needed. If you’re getting refilled per month you probably need a bigger tank. Most people are using propane for heating and don’t need it refilled in the summer.

    There are also options to spread the cost over the year so you’re making payments each month. That is sort of a subscription but when I think subscription I think of a service you’re charged for whether you use it or not and not financing.
