Before my time, sorry.

My hero

Petition for someone to write a song called “Hitler Pete” and set it to the tune of “Cuban Pete” from The Mask.

What’s the better platform that everyone should leave to? I looked into Stoat the other day but its obvious they aren’t currently equipped to handle the influx of traffic they’re getting, and a lot of dev work still needs to be done.

Why can I vividly picture what these smell like?

A quick search for “traffic sensor” returns a whole class of items that all basically look like the rectangular brick in your photo. Supported by the temporary / construction look of the one in the other comment.

Construction company puts in a lane restriction or other traffic modification, plop down a traffic sensor to make sure cars are still flowing through properly.

Wonder why I’m being pranked and where the cameras are.

Ancient Egyptians had no conception of English.

Kinda? I’d almost describe it as halfway between stinky feet and the smell that stink bugs give off.

Depends. With North American formica ants, it’s formic acid, but with Canadian odorous house ants, it’s a methyl ketone that smells a lot like blue cheese.

I was permabanned from Reddit for correctly identifying Elon Musk’s political affiliations. Fuck spez and his bullshit.

Police eroded public trust in their own institution just fine on their own.

ICE ain’t helping matters any, but All Cops Are Bastards is not a new saying, if you’re picking up what I’m putting down.

I think the true secret is that a part of those of us that get out stay connected to the reactor and power it with small bits of happiness over the life of the boat.

Every time you’re stuck sitting at a table with a bunch of people who have barely started eating while you’re done already, or wake up in the middle of the night thinking there’s a fire because your AC shut off, the reactor gets a .0001% boost in efficiency.

You feed it with the crew’s happiness.

Instructions unclear. Dick stuck in typewriter.

Someone needs to read up on their Maslow again.

Obviously your mileage may vary based on where you’re located, but look into makerspaces in your area. There’s one about 20 min from me with a fully equipped wood and metal shops, CNCs, pottery wheels and kiln, electronics benches, etc etc etc, as well as like, 4 others within an hour drive. A ton have workshops / knowledgeable staff on hand.

It does not.

Anything that transmits a signal can be found, just get that out of the way immediately. The only way to be 100% untraceable is to never transmit.

Mesh networks, however, are pretty safe. Triangulating the origin of a mesh transmission will just lead to the repeater node which, admittedly is a pain in the dick if they kill the repeater and the network goes dark, but it doesn’t lead directly back to a person, just a box they stuck on a cell tower or up on a hill somewhere.

I’d say telling the mod they have terrible reasoning is, in itself, pretty piss poor reasoning.

But you do you. Let’s see how quickly you can speedrun a ban.

But it isn’t the same argument.

When DJs sample, they choose the samples, choose the pitch and playback speed, and choose where and when to put the sample in their songs.

There is no human intentionality in AI-created music. No one decided what the song should sound like, it’s a mash of what an algorithm calculates is the most predictable next sound based on its prompt, and it calculates what’s next by illegally using the intellectual properties of real humans.

Whoever used this argument with you isn’t arguing in good faith.

Edit - I didn’t even answer the overarching question. You’ll find, in almost all cases, that it isn’t the same argument because one or more things that factor into the decision will have changed. Very rarely is a situation entirely static, and if some variables have changed, then the entire argument must be reconsidered.
