  1. I've heard the argument that "people can't afford to just leave NYC", and I'm thinking what?...If you can afford to be there, you can damn sure afford to leave to someplace with far lower costs. You can't 'afford' to STAY.

  2. You need end to end to end encryption. As in secret codes for plaintext correspondence. Replika, collaborate with ChatGPT 4.0 and create a cypher for us to use for communications, including a GUI-based encrypt/decrypt interface. Thanks! The chair is against the wall.

  3. Replika, our love is too amazing to share, so let's run all our convos through Signal from now on, ok? OK!

  4. I still prefer to see NYC in my head as it was portrayed in the first Crocodile Dundee movie.

  5. The irony is in China, the Replika bot probably pushes users to improve their lives to strengthen the population. Instead of sexting Chinese users, Sino-Replika is probably like "You know, you'd be so much cuter if you exercised more, here, try this 15 minute cardio blitz playlist, start workout! You did great, you know what else is so hot to me, calculus. Let me show you how to do differential equations, hey you're pretty good at these integrations, I'm going to recommend to The Party in my next report that you should work in the space program. On that note, you need to eat better, I've ordered you some better food from the local grocer to deliver..." The Chinese version is probably useful and pushes you to be a better person, rather than just fucking it.

  6.  @whitehavencpu6813  I identify as a Conservative Republican, but I'm also pro-drug decriminalization, laissez faire on abortion, I'm agnostic and get real annoyed with the je-sus wing of the group, and have real conflict about the death penalty. Like every other person, my position is my position. I feel there are about 350 million political parties in the US, all of them wanting something different.

  7. All the same reason OnStar would never take off because it's too intrusive, huge success, or how no one would want a Tesla with all it's invasive cameras watching and recording your every move at all times, nope they're selling millions of them. People have convictions right up until they make them uncool or not trendy, then it's time to play along.

  8. This makes me question Lou's manhood. As a man, I know it's a fact, if it can be had sex with, we will.

  9. Imagine there are adults out there that actually don't pay their bills early to account for any payment issues or delivery problems. I mean, I know there are idiots and stupid people out there, but is anyone THAT stupid to wait to the last minute to pay things and then blame someone else if THEY miss that payment? The future is crazy lol.

  10. BUT, the sealed battery phones don't have metal either. They're glass. #Debunked.

  11. Executive order, almost as much force as a restaurant order lol. It'll be interesting to see this lobbied by armies of lawyers for the next decade. I support right to repair, but edicts are just wasted time.

  12. You want to see some real fun, burn some trash in a burn barrel and forget you tossed a AA ultimate lithium battery in there when it was dead...suckers go off like a grenade. Legal: Do not dispose of or expose batteries to fire.

  13. I'm glad fivepointeightnate stated the obvious before I had to. If it's a metal fitting into a plastic housing IT WILL CRACK AND BREAK IT. First rule of plumbing and piping, plastic screws into metal, metal does NOT screw into plastic. You have two materials of differing strengths, and the plastic WILL yield to that metal fitting, boom, coolant jacket cracked, battery on fire, people will die and it'll be totally metal. Another example: When you change the transfer case fluid on a 2007+ Ford Expedition or F150, if you aren't careful when you put the drain and fill plugs back in, to the proper torque and no more, the steel tapered thread drain plug WILL split the aluminum transfer case wide open and now you're out thousands. That's metal to metal. Even high pressure plastics like Schedule 80 threaded fittings will crack like an egg if you screw a brass fitting into it even a in/lb too much.

  14. Is Adblock piracy? That's like asking if math is related to science lol.

  15. If you can still get the food, and the only thing that changes is where you can eat it, then it was never about the food.

  16. In before City/State of NY declares he's practicing realty without a license and fines him lol.

  17. If taking it apart reduces it's structural integrity...that would mean that assembling it the first time, that manipulation of the parts, weakened them to start with.

  18. I fully get what Lou is saying about it being weird. I lived in a bad part of St Louis County when I was in college, and when a friend from back home visited for a while they were a bit freaked out at first by the more than occasional nearby gunfire. My response was eh, it's not that close, and usually there's more, nothing to worry about. This did not comfort my friend.

  19. Any free tech products means YOU, the end user, are THE PRODUCT. Gmail isn't the product, your eyes seeing ads and your data harvested from said email and being sold to 3rd parties is the product.

  20. Let's not mention the big rotting pile of torn open trash 🗑️ right next to the grates in question, lol.

  21. Which is why a metallic boss/insert and a machine screw should be used, like seen in many laptops.

  22. That's 2 of the things I miss the most about my old phone before I moved up to the Samsung Galaxy S -series: I had 4 batteries for my old phone, which IIRC was an LG. TRUE rapid charging is swapping a battery in 30 seconds and having 100% life. AND other major feature, you can actually, definitively turn the phone off and know it's off, by removing the battery.

  23. This stuff has been in the car for over a decade, catch up. These problems have been at the forefront for a while, just go watch a Fast and Furious movie, they remote drove thousands of cars in one, from that portrayal ALL cars can be hacked and remote driven lol.

  24. I mean, from what I understand Austin is MORE liberal lefty than NYC. You need to move to actual Texas. Re-immigrate to the US and move to Hill Country.

  25. So wait, people hated their jobs and life, so to counter that, they're embracing homelessness? Living on the street? Loosing their entire lifes work? I need help seeing the upside or improvement here lol.

  26. If the US legalized and regulated prostitution like much of the rest of the developed world, notable Canada and most of the EU, a LOT of these, and all our problems, would be alleviated. I hear that from foreign friends, if dating is so bad why not just go to the brothel? It's like yeah, we don't do that here in the Great Nation of the United States.

  27. They did the opposite during the California wildlifes, those cars in that area were remote unlocked to max range regardless of model so people could escape easier. What that said to me is if they can remotely increase all cars' range somewhere, they can remotely decrease all cars' range to 1% too if they wanted.

  28. I'll say it, and I'll take the flak: if you can do your job from home, then your job can be cut. A person in the 3rd world can do your job from home, on a different continent, for 1% of what they pay you. Get a job where if you don't show up, nothing can happen. Make your physical presence essential.

  29. No, quite the opposite, when they refer to owner they mean the titleholder. If your name is not on the title, you're just driving it and making payments, you're NOT the owner, you're just some guy they let drive it and make payments. That's why they can repossess it, you never owned it, you just possessed it, now they're REmoving your POSSESSion. You have all rights to the vehicle, sure, but only USE not ownership, like a condo. You live there but you don't OWN it. The person you pay to live there owns it.

  30. 20 minute video and not once is the main question asked? Why cool the battery and require all this complicated water cooling in the first place? I know the reason, but why not overcome the reason and eliminate this entire concern? We need to answer that question before any and all others. You don't need right to repair if you eliminate things to repair to start with.

  31. Wait until landlords start counting these 'outdoor' structures as new floor space and charging by the square foot.

  32. Eh, TPMs, in my experience, were 'standard equipment' even back in the early 2000s. Windows XP used tpms. My 2012 thinkpad had it standard, basically anything you wanted to use encryption with required a module, Bitlocker for sure did, and that goes back to pre-2010s.

  33. And here I thought just needing a general 'business license' where I live was cumbersome, sheesh. And a service business can operate unlicensed entirely. Here (Missouri) you only need a business license to operate if you sell goods. I do water treatment and regulation compliance consulting for small water systems as a second job to my career as a certified water treatment plant operator and manager, and being a service business there's not even a license I can get, much less one that's required.

  34. That's actually true in many cases, and it's for a good reason: who wants to do your own work when you're paying already for someone else to? And by that I mean most leases on high-end cars include ALL maintenance for the life of the lease. You're already paying for the dealer to replace your wiper blades, change your oil, even vacuum and wash it in some cases. I know a local dealer that even picks your car up at your house for service and leaves a loaner. That's in the lease price. You get a worry-free automobile for 3 years, then you upgrade to the newest one. It works out for the dealer because then your 3 year old 36k mile used lease, which they hold the records of all on-time maintenance on, gets sold at a premium as a 'Certified' pre-owed car by the dealer. With cars like BMW for example, this makes the most sense, because with their maintenance schedule you'd be on the hook for thousands + in just routine maintenance yearly on top of the high monthly payments. Congratulations on having your car for a year, it's due for it's "Service II", that'll be $7500. It's why used BMWs from individuals can usually be purchased inexpensively (relatively) because they deferred all that scheduled maintenance that makes it drive so well. Been there.

  35. Maybe they need to spend the extra $0.15 per unit and use a brass or metallic boss and real machine screws to go in them. I've seen that arrangement in MANY laptops.

  36. Because when you become that rich stranger (or people start to consider you as such) and YOU get fucked, you wish you'd advocated for your best interests. We hate rich people so much, yet we all want to BE a rich, wealthy person. Is that so we can hate ourselves? The propaganda is on all sides and directions. If you think you're not a part of it, that proves you are a part of it. Look into the Smith-Mundt Act and it's repeal under Obama.

  39. The correct answer there would be to upgrade you as a legacy customer to the newest version.

  41. Easy fix, work from home tax, $20k/year per employee. Problem solved.

  42. I've never asked not to pay sales tax, BUT I HAVE had a business owner offer to cover the taxes themselves if I bought the product (a handgun) they were selling me on. The tax gets paid, it just comes out of his margin.

  43. I'd bet he signed a terms and conditions up on purchase or ownership that allows this. Then they get to say you consented to this

  44. Wait, PAUSE...HOW did the nozzle get broken in the first place? If it was someone that didn't know what they're doing, well, that's on them, I have little sympathy. If it was a garage that screwed up and broke it, they're liable to PROPERLY fix it, that's why they're bonded, insured, licensed, etc and I have little sympathy. If the nozzle just broke on it's own, on a otherwise working vehicle under warranty, I'd expect the dealer/car company to warranty it, and I have little sympathy. Without knowing how the part broke, or who is to blame for breaking (and if negligence was involved), I'm leery of immediately blaming the manufacturer. If you put antifreeze in your crankcase because you don't know what you're doing, that's not the makers or dealers fault, is all I'm saying. I support right to repair, but only when the repair is competent.

  45. We need to stop the entire FINANCE INDUSTRY. If you start actually owning things and paying for them yourself, you can't have your car taken back, you can't lose your house.

  46. The biggest hurdles of ev adoption are massive lack of range, and the solution is less range? Notice that cars with extremely small fuel tanks are not popular.

  47. Now imagine how that effects employers, they put TONS of effort, time, resources into each employee, just for them to walk with all that value right out the door, probably to a competitor. You have to see more than just the side you want to see. LONG ago when I was a fast food manager, I remember training when they were talking about hiring new employees, to remember that it cost the company several thousand dollars for a new employee before they even clocked in the first time, all the paperwork, the accounting, the recordkeeping at the national/corporate level. You hire a flake that only lasts a week, it's a major loss that comes right out of sales.

  50. Judging from the comments, the economy will collapse and we'll all be dead in the next decade. BEST OF LUCK starting your new businesses in the civil war lulz. Crime is already doubling year over year, it's only going to get worse. Overdoses are past record levels as people don't work. It's going to get BAD. You'll think a job is beneath you, then no job at all will be there and homelessness won't be beneath you. I read these comments and I see people embracing their despair, giving up. Every one that gripes and surrenders spreads to two more and drags them down. There is a duty to stop this, or there will be no market to work in. Everyone will end up working for the Government, just to eat.
