I was surprised by the reaction to this movie. I really enjoyed it.

I get this, other than Pulp Fiction, I dislike all of Tarantino’s films.

I don’t like the style or the pacing, I don’t like the revisionist take on events.

But people generally like his films.

Unfortunately a union after the fact does nothing to help the workers.

Unions are great for ensuring that the profit from their labour; is fairly distributed.

If the company is unprofitable; forming a union to squeeze blood from a stone is not helpful. It will just hasten the demise. These tariffs, as others have pointed out are probably making their fixed term contracts into money losers…We don’t have all the data, but it is quite likely.

And from a personal point of view, smaller companies tend to care more than big ones…I’ve worked in both. Being 1 of 5 is great, being 1 of 15,000 not so much.

This fucks me off sooooooooo much; in NZ there are a lot of (a fuck of a lot) of roads that don’t have overtaking zones for a long way.

Getting an opportunity to overtake the slow prick you have been following for 20 minutes, just to have them speed up…forcing me to go faster than I’m comfortable with, then being in front and have them sitting on your arse for the next 10km, even though you are going faster than before you overtook them…FUCK OFF!!!

This is the only correct answer

And socks…

That is exactly the same for your kids, it is not until their world expands a bit when they are 3-5YO; before that you are literally everything to them.

How would that make him a non-billionare?

He paid $44B for Twitter, even if it completely failed and he could realize no value from any of the assets. $44B is a small portion of his wealth.

You could have most people in a relatively small area with the rest for farming.

There would be little need for the equivalent of roads, almost all travel would be walk or bike. The longest distance between two points is less than 34km. If the main settlement is in a ring around the middle of the cylinder, it is less than 17km to any point.

If we can do B, A doesn’t provide many benefits.

A 1km diameter, 30km cylinder would provide enough area to feed ~140k people. 95km^2 of space.

That is assuming no imported food etc, based on 7000m^2 per person which is almost 2 acres each.

140k people is a small city.

Moldering: “to crumble into dust, to rot”

All the definitions of molding I can find, are about shaping something.

Literally nothing.

Give him a high five and tell him to keep doing what he is doing. Since we invent the time machine, I wouldn’t want to fuck that up. Really I wouldn’t even visit.

I would however be expecting a visit from my future self, to get the details on how to solve global warming and a bunch of other issues.

Colour would like a word with you.

Wouldn’t that be mouldering?

Lathes are serious machines. They require serious caution!

At my previous job, there was a very lucky apprentice; he was working on “the small lathe”; the sleeve on his overalls caught on the work piece. His arm was pulled into the machine the overall sleeve tore as it was being pulled in. He got very nasty friction burns all up the under side of his arm; if the sleeve didn’t tear, at minimum he would have lost the arm…the lathe didn’t stop spinning during the event. He panicked (understandably) and didn’t think to hit the e-stop.

Table saws and lathes…don’t fuck around with them. Powerful tools require serious caution; but they are also very useful when used correctly.

But do they have to set jumpers on the motherboard to choose the processor voltage?

You can probably trim that down by one.

• Treat others as you would have them treat you.
• Pursue a useful existence.

But I would also add:

• Treat yourself with genuine respect.

This feeds back into the first point.

This is also how tire balancing works for cars. Except they have a machine that does the calculations for position and weight.

Got to remember to look at the c/ before having a WTF moment.

I was like, my dude water you know one of the essential things keeping you alive is a liquid.

Think to self, it has probably been 5 minutes already, I should get up. Look at watch, hmmmmmm that can’t be right, how did 45 minutes just disappear?
