    Tech giants blocking some Ukraine and Gaza posts under new online rules

  • Some instances are just geo-blocking the UK. Honestly, the world should just block the UK right now.

  • I am curious about your view. Can you point to anything specific? We all know he made a big investment into Framework and he was a fanboi of that company for a while.

    There are some very real constraints around how LTT can review laptops now. Any promotional work (reviews, status updates, etc.) that LTT does for Framework is easily framed as such based on video context.

    I am genuinely curious about this and your point of view. Why? I am not a huge fan of deception or otherwise shady practices that would illegally harm competitors.

    Jump

  • You didn't answer a very specific question: Have you been to Chicago or do you live in Chicago?

    Understanding your perspective on a question is important to answering a question.

    Stop accusing others of deflection, when you are not giving supporting information. Now quit being defensive and answer any other questions people may have.

  • use spent oil reservoirs

    Ok, that lead to some giggles thinking about some company drilling in the future thinking they were about to hit a strangely untapped oil field.

    Add a hundred years of methane pressure build up and that could be really interesting gusher.

  • 3D Printing Patterns Might Make Ghost Guns More Traceable Than We Thought

    Jump

  • You could probably map resonance artifacts, but you have to isolate layers that were printed at the same speed and direction. However, the second you tighten a belt or screw, that pattern will change and I am not sure how consistent resonance patterns would be on a bed slinger. (The quantity and density of printed plastic may change the resonant characteristics of the entire printer. This may be less of an issue on a core xy.)

    Thinking waaay outside the box.. In some cases, I have seen extruder gear marks on the filament create artifacts on a print. Every gear pattern should be unique, but measurable differences would probably be micron or sub-micron.

    Maybe you could map the surface of textured beds as I seriously doubt that those patterns would be consistent and more prone to randomness from the factory.

    There are a ton of conditions that could generate unique artifacts on a print, now that I think of it. Hell, even a printers PID tuning can leave visible and repeatable errors.

  • Without going into much detail about my experiences, it turns out this scenario stemmed from them being bipolar. Anecdotally, when they got diagnosed and treated, this behavior stopped and they were able to express frustration without going full manic. (I don't fully understand bipolar'isms that well myself, btw.)

    It's OK for someone to be frustrated. It's OK for someone to get mad at you on occasion. It is not OK to be yelled at for hours over something absolutely trivial.

    Don't jump to any conclusions if you are in a similar situation. The person may actually be abusive!

  • How do you effectively counter serious cognitive dissonance in loved ones?

    Jump

  • That is probably a last resort and we are far from that point. The way I see it, the root cause is fairly basic ignorance that has been allowed to fester for a bit too long. If they were all-out MAGA, I would say it is willful stupidity and would write them off fairly quick. Otherwise, I am not so quick to toss family out with the rest of the trash. Ignorance can be fixed but stupidity usually can't.

  • The last sentence (after your quote ends) was meant to imply that that nobody, even me, is immune to this problem. Without a doubt, I am human and I have my own issues.

    Also, anytime I have encountered any issue like this on my own, it has always taken time to resolve as it can be super complicated. Right now, even though I have been sober for a few years, I am still dealing with many false assumptions and beliefs that stemmed from my years of alcoholism so believe me when I say that the mind of an addict is filled with some twisted realities.

    Unless you've become a being of total rational thought

    Admittedly, rational thought is a relatively new concept to me.

  • And I would normally agree with that approach especially if I had nothing to do with them ever again.

    In this situation and as it relates to family, letting this go unchecked is a missed opportunity for a person to learn how this behavior is super weird. To say I haven't fallen victim to cognitive dissonance would be a lie. However, I learned how to avoid it and resolve conflicts in my own beliefs over time. (Given the nature of this problem, I don't believe anyone could ever be truly immune to it either.)

    Still though, 99.9% of the time your advice is spot-on.
