1·3 days agoI had a really good method for helping people figure it out, but it only worked if you didn’t see it coming.

Hell yes. Is there a decent quality version somewhere? I have some potato quality divx on a spool somewhere.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•🐆 Right-wing trans woman finds out "gender-criticals" cannot be reasoned with
1·5 days agoI see a lot of (often well deserved) shit talk about centrists/middle ground. Honestly, it IS silly to talk about middle ground between reason and raw hate. I do, however, doubt myself if I look around and find myself spouting the most extreme ideas on a given topic. How isnt that scary to people? I dont want to be the fanatic. I was raised with talk about the middle path and the golden mean. Virtue in courage is found between recklessness and cowardice. I still subscribe to that notion, but absolutely recognize how one can lull themselves into false means based on the prevailing culture (Overton window). Still, I dont see how it is that hard to have some bedrock principals, and use those to anchor a true middle ground.

Aussie Enviro@aussie.zone•Record-breaking electric truck delivery beats diesel equivalent
0·9 days agoFaster than what? What did they race? All they say is an equivalent vehicle. How did they choose that?
You know they make engines with displacements from 7L to more than 12 L. You can get a suped up 1200 HP powerplant that would blow this out of the water. Would that be a fair comparison? Obviously not. Is this? Impossible to say with the info provided.

Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk’s Grokipedia launches with AI-cloned pages from Wikipedia
2·20 days agoyeah, the back end is the scarier part. I don’t think conservapedia actually added that much content, it just copied Wikipedia and edited the parts they cared about. Automating that, while helpful, isn’t that big a deal IMO. Disseminating the resultant bullshit (with a hint of plausibility) is where the nightmares begin.

He is a closeted nazi who is running against Susan Collins on a platform railing against the oligarchy so he can turn around and enact his racist agenda.
What are you talking about. the upper can brace against a backward force because it has steps behind him. The lower cant. Plus the lower has to lift their lance upward while the upper needs to lift it less. The high ground has a clear advantage here.





Havn’t bought one yet. Just eyeing my next project (realistically 2 projects from now). I narrowed down the Millennium cause I think I could get the most utility out of it. If I were to really do it how I would like Id need a pbx and thats a project Im definitely not willing to take on for some time.
