Turnout is not a binary thing. What he wrote about Palestinians is horrifying enough that a lot of younger voters and Arab voters would stay home and refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils.

It's easy to make a new browser fingerprint. Websites don't have access to your actual hardware ID (and even that can be changed).

Investing trillions of dollars into dead ends is, however, the enemy of progress. The ressources we're throwing at replacing existing cars with EV cars would be enough to implement better solutions.

Nah you can't, they'll be bright enough to saturate the sensor.

Because it's not true. Israel decides what comes in and out, otherwise they threaten either airstrikes or to reinvade the border region. The one thing Israel doesn't object to is to allow all Gazans to leave, but that's because they want Gaza to repopulate so they can seize it.

The condition for Israel pulling out of the border was that they would decide what gets in or out. When Egypt yesterday wanted to provide fuel and supplies, Israel threatened an airstrike.

The entire point of financial capital is that attacks against things like their headquarters mean nothing. That's not where they get their power. All you're going to do is murder replaceable cogs for no reason.

I never said working class. I said PMC. Ie, not bourgeois. Being a glorified excel formula or a janitor for a parasitic industry does not make you guilty and it's not equivalent to being a cop or a soldier. The class interests of those respectively are PMC and working class.

The vast majority of people there were PMC at worst, not bourgeois.

I know many of those, like the original surron, but they look like motorcycles and scooters, not bicycles. It's not impossible to make normal ebike-looking components go at that speed, but it will severely limit their lifespan or outright destroy them and you're still going to need an expensive large battery to make it work, so I'd be surprised.

There's the Bafang Ultra motor that can be hacked to do that (using a laptop and a special cable and shady exes from forums) but last I checked it will overheat and destroy itself without physically opening it and tweaking the thermals if you push it to those numbers. It's not easy to make a motor that can go at that speed and put out that much power and still fit in a normal bike frame.

I guess it also depends on where, places that get less applicants are probably much more likely to answer back.

It's good because you can use it to cut through the corporate bullshit, it's bad because the people most active in it are prestige and money obsessed freaks. If you make a post without stating how much money you make 90% of your replies will be about that.

On the other hand it's saved me from multiple very very bad decisions, so it's good in that sense. It would be cool if it was more generalized and wasn't just for programmers/salespeople/project managers/quants.
