Stopped here in hopes of hydration and a restroom, but The Alps Fudge shop had a sign saying "no public restrooms."

Inb4 both the AWS and Azure outages were caused by attacks and they just said "it's DNS" because it's believable. :P




We are bombarded with too much advertising / propaganda.


How can profits still be increased in a saturated market?

You can show customers advertisements on the devices they have purchased. For example, on the display of a refrigerator. Then I just won't buy that kind of refrigerator anymore. The problem is that starting tomorrow, those are the only refrigerators available for purchase. Then I'll cover up the display. You always have to confirm the update on the display, otherwise the refrigerator will shut down and refuse to work. Then I won't connect the refrigerator to the internet. Then the refrigerator won't start up for security reasons. Only when it has downloaded the latest update from the internet and a bunch of ads is it ready for use.

If you think I just made this up and that it's a nice Halloween horror story, you're being pretty naive.

There is no objective reality, according to Rovelli — only perspectives. “This is very radical, because you can no longer say, ‘This is a list of things in the world, and this is how they are.’”

Pretty sure climate change is causing and will be causing more hunger and disease. Better to target the root cause than the symptom. >:(

Is it still considered #soldering if I'm using a MAPP torch to do it? :3c
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

@Neil E. Hodges

how did the MAPP work?

I did part of a car radio (of course) install with a propane torch

I still have a radio shack branded butane soldering iron -- somewhere

all the anes

in reply to Griff Ferrell

It worked a charm. Since I'm working with aluminum and brass rods, it's hard to get stuff hot enough with a soldering iron alone.
