Well, Mr Smartypants, if it weren't for capitalism you would've had to make that chair/table leg yourself so then you'd only have yourself to blame which is the same as having no one to blame!

Specifically, he points out that the country is short 600,000 manufacturing workers and 400,000 auto mechanics.

If you think auto mechanics have a bright future you're mistaken. As automakers move to EV platforms cars are becoming much simpler. Both to manufacturer and repair.

An electric vehicle is an order of magnitude simpler in design than an ICE car.

Furthermore, advancements in robotics from AI and—suddenly—vastly cheaper industrial servos will result in fully automated car maintenance. You'll pull your car into a shop that's been pre-programmed for your vehicle and it'll be able to handle 90-99% of all maintenance tasks.

AI only has to be shown—by hand—how to perform an operation once. No matter how many steps! Even if there's all sorts of crazy tolerances where cars can come in different configurations, the AI will be able to find the screw holes and remove panels without damaging wiring harnesses. They can even find screws that drop (which is better than me, haha).

There will always be a need for some mechanics but they're going to mostly be handling big stuff. Not common sedans and trucks.

My prediction: The first fully automated robotics shops will be the tire places. Because there's only so many types of wheels/tires, ya know?

Such a hair-brained idea. Fur real, I love it.

Any of these people who take the time to learn what any of these policies actually mean quickly ~~become not-Republicans~~ start to disbelieve reality and declare the truth as, "fake news."

FTFY 👍

No hot dog surprise cereal either, apparently!

For maximum deliciousness use strawberry jam and vanilla peanut butter. As in, the peanut butter has some vanilla flavoring added.

Your ma has lots of experience and wisdom in this regards.

So why are beliefs so important for ao many people then?

They're a coping mechanism.

Reality often sucks, so how do you go about your day knowing that so many suffer so many injustices every day? Easy! Just ignore them and pretend like everyone will get what's coming to them in the afterlife 👍

It's the perfect system for tyrants: Think I'm a monster who abuses my power and intentionally makes people suffer? Well, if you even try to do anything about it you're going to hell! Overthrowing an openly evil government is not what Jesus would do!

It's the same mental gymnastics that people use when they blame minorities for their problems. It's not me or my beliefs (about the world) that are wrong! It's those trans furry kids and immigrant invaders who are destroying the very concept of everything I believe in!

Nietzsche would be proud 🥲

Auschwitz started as "just a concentration camp" too.

Eventually countries will stop accepting our deportees and then what will they do? The answer is simple:

They'll come up with a final solution.

Noem told reporters alongside Trump on July 1 as they toured a new detention center in the Florida Everglades known as ~~"Alligator Alcatraz."~~ "Alligator Auschwitz."

That's the correct name.

It's really hard to get SD to output something like a cat girl hugging a fox girl so I decided to learn how to use the "segment anything" extension for a1111. The first results were great!

Fox girl hugging bunny girl being hugged by cat girl

Got the trifecta: A fox girl hugging a bunny girl who was also being hugged by a cat girl.

But now I wanted to take it further: Can I get five different anime beast people's hugging? No, LOL. Now yet anyway 🤣

That's supposed to be a a fox girl, a bunny girl, a cat girl, a frog girl, and a horse girl (like Pretty Derby).

I have since learned that this "fact" isn't true... Turns out the source of that info wasn't understanding how tags work. There's actually just a lot of fanfics that include Astarion. Not necessarily for romance 🤷

It's still hilarious though 😁

 

Manufacturer wanted $25 (+shipping) for a replacement garage door opener wall switch. 13 minutes of printing + 5 minutes of soldering + two leftover Cherry MX Blue switches (that I'll be use) and the problem is solved 👍

Note: The wiring was slightly more involved than I thought... needed a resistor for the light (there's only two wires but it's got two functions: Light on/off and garage open/close.

If folks are interested I could make a much fancier PCB-based version with screw terminals and whatnot. It's a very trivial schematic.

 

Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System! Thanks for 30 years of demonstrating Linux superiority with a gap that widens with every new kernel release 👍
