That's why they've been trying so hard to axe social security and public school, the last bastions of real social welfare in the US.

Prusa has some excellent timing releasing the Core One this month.

I hate to be like "I fucking told you so", but with how Bambu has acted with Makerworld, it seemed pretty obvious that this was coming.

Sun was removed from his position in 2022 after being investigated for his ties to China, a source told the Post on condition of anonymity.

Details of the investigations remain unclear, but MD Anderson was among the first institutions to dismiss China-born researchers after warnings from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), one of their major funders, about potential theft of US scientific research.

I don't know what's more sick:

  • treating medical science like it's stealth bomber blueprints
  • treating medical science like it's something to be owned and leveraged

For years now I've wondered why health insurance companies haven't been the regular target of violence by clients who's lives they've destroyed. They're unique institutions because of how they regularly condemn people to death right to their faces for the most bullshit unjust kafkaesque reasons. I guess maybe a situation like that just sucks the life out of you too much to get motivated by revenge.

Dems using their lame duck session in the Senate to pass some slop for their donors.

the idea being that any two things produced by an hour of (human capital adjusted) labor must have the same value (btw, this “labor theory of value” goes back to Adam Smith, and was later promulgated by Marx).

Challenge: read the first chapter of Capital

Difficulty: impossible

It's kind of like how Reddit killing off 3rd party apps just made me stop wasting so much time on reddit.

I want to host some LAN parties this winter, and am looking for some Free Software Games that would be a fun time. We already play some Counterstrike and StarCraft 2, but I want to expand into some actual Free games. Windows compatibility is a must, MacOS compatibility is desirable!

The two on my radar are:

  • Hedgewars, which seems like a strong candidate. We played a ton of Worms 2 in the 90s
  • 0 A.D., since we're already fans of RTS games.

But I know there must be some wacky ones out there which would be suitable for 30 minutes of pick up play.

Lol at people posting copium in response to it

however everybody a lil bit involved in industry knows that this sort of things on photos are considered normal in first steps of mass production.

I'll pull my "I actually work in manufacturing" card and reply: lol, no it isn't. This is the type of shit you work out when you're setting up the production line. How the fuck did these pass final inspection? Did they even do a final inspection?

Literally one of the smartest things that Capital could do is to pool a tiny amount of their resources and make Netflix and Youtube free for the masses. These are incredible tools for keeping the masses placated.

The 2040 plan is mainly an ending of single-family zoning. Anecdotally, I've seen a lot more apartments going up around the Twin Cities in the last few years. The Frey regime are neoliberal ghouls, and this is a classic YIMBY approach to tackling housing shortages. The opponents of this plan are somehow even worse, an astroturfed army of KKKarens.

Choice quote: "Residents of color already face significant barriers to home ownership, which would have been exacerbated under the plan as a result of reduced access to and availability of single family properties," said activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, a member of the plaintiffs' legal team, in a statement calling Tuesday's ruling a "major victory."

What are the Hexbear thoughts on this whole situation?

There's a golf course right next to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, where everyone is taking their Instagram photos next to the hottest temperatures ever recorded.
