Dr. Killjoy posted:Men are getting shorter, getting into vacuous hustle culture, acquiring coins, all we need is Oo-mox to complete the Ferenginization of the Western male. Even at the time Ferengi were 100% spot on riffs on western capitalists, the whole joke is that they're 20th century humans but more honest.

The collapse of the AI bubble is going to be one of least difficult to explain bubble bursts in all of history. The whole last couple years have been "surely people will pay money to skip the fun parts of life so they can get back to being bored."

Also "all that amazing stuff they said AI would be able to do any second now! Yeah, well turned out that was all still decades and decades away."

spechtie posted:i hope you reflect on why you felt the need to post this kneejerk defense of the uhhh fake grass industry? to be fair, the articles make it clear that it’s not from “scraping their knees” that people believe the toxins affect people, right? I read both of those as being refutations of the knee-scraping, not the cancer, but maybe that is too charitable a position for the internet

it is generally a good practice to have young bodies spending hours every day breathing heavy on a giant plastic field as it degrades and offgases in the sun

I mean living near highways measurably affects children's development so it's not like saying "rolling around in ground up tires several days a week can gently caress you up" is all that unbelievable

My elementary school had a playground made of used dump truck tires bolted together. With the right wind on hot days the stench of hot tires wafted into the classrooms.

It was pretty neat, the portals were created in-house using intel NUCs and arrays of those slot-together advertising LED panels for the displays. I think they should just be a normal thing, but obviously people are horrible

Can we connect some portals to places that aren't full of white people or are the Americans afraid they might come in through the portal?

starkebn posted:a small sample of "Forever" chemicals there's actually over 10 thousand of these can't fire fighting foam be replaced with safer but more expensive brominated versions? all my insulation was brominated cellulose doped with boron or something, and they were able to blow it into the walls instead of spraying it in as expanding plastic foam stuff that is normally used in new construction. The chem used to keep it from instantly becoming an inferno if there's a spark is the same stuff that makes old style 70s-80s electronics turn yellow then brown when exposed to sunlight. iirc it works by the same mechanism where it technically still burns but requires dramatically huger amounts of heat and oxygen to burn than carbon compounds, so you would need comparatively large amounts of this crap in there? and fluorinated retardants need way less?  not a chemist but bromine is not a forever chem or toxic in the same way and is actually used in normal biology processes, i think for some enzymes it's a required component and is why certain things like the gross slime under ocean docks smells like that (for example)

It's been like a decade since I read about this but from what I remember brominated fire retardants used to treat furniture have issues with offgassing bromine radicals under normal household conditions that are also linked to cancer.
