I am a time-traveling dolphin. An entity made of giant balls gave me the ability to breathe underwater, but this ability was recently stolen from me by aliens.
Sometimes I turn into a bird.
Those things aren’t too bad unless they need repair/replace…meanwhile you are recommending a solution that starts at like $2500 that only works while you’re in the bed.
Most of the USA has HVAC, but not everyone. I grew up without it. We had in-window units and box fans. You get used to it quickly.
I’m sorry, I’m just not seeing this as anything but an expensive luxury (that doesn’t have physical buttons unless u paid???). Seems pretty silly to pretend its anything but that.
Especially for couples where one runs hot and the other runs cold during the night.
Without elaborating too much, this is my situation, and we solve this by having the room cold for him and blankets for me. Actually, the situation is much better when our insurance stops jerking us around about his medication that fixes his night sweating and other related problems, but we’re American, so can’t be helped.
It just seems like a lot of trouble when you can buy a blanket idk.
Honestly, I’m the one paying for a subscription service that doesn’t help (insurance), so I guess I’m the clown here.
tbh until I read ur comment I just assumed this was a shitpost tweet making fun of the state of consumer electronics, not a real product
I bought a gleeb for my glibben needs but it has no interoperability with floob, so I bought an adaptor from Amazon with a weird brand name made of plastic… etc etc
Just buy a blanket…?
These folks are standing up against a great wrong and you’re just going to assume they’ll go back on their values later?
What makes you so confident they’d change their minds later and go against those values? Do you know them personally? Do you have a crystal ball to gaze into the future?
I know someone who is 100% disabled and works a full time job. That job sucks, frankly. People look down on him for working in customer service, but his body is too broken to enter the trades, and his mental health is too poor to attend college (even though it would be free through the GI bill). I don’t even think he needs the money, he just wants to be “normal” and he doesn’t mind the work. He and his wife do not live lives of luxury and their kids seem happy.
He would not be able to support his family on this low-paid job he has. His wife also works.
Perhaps the problem isn’t disabled vets getting paid, maybe the problem is that we keep sending them out to die for oil. Maybe the problem is that life in America is hard for anyone who isn’t in the top 10%.
Right? These laptops dont even have floppy drives.
Friend, the magazine this article is from is named Jacobin, after that political movement.
It is a US-based magazine, and it’s not very popular, so it’s understandable that you haven’t heard of it. But it does pay to read the article before commenting.
Errr… am I mistaken? This is the first time I’m hearing about nationalizing SpaceX and it’s from Jacobin…
Does Jacobin make a habit of calling people communists? Pretty sure they advocate for socialist positions usually…
big spiderman pointing at spiderman vibes if true
I’m not coming to argue you on your main point. As a Communist, I think communism would be great in Japan, and a lot of other places.
However, you are completely wrong about the USA not defending Japan. Unlike taiwain there are several large american military bases in Japan, and actually Japan is not allowed to have a large military of its own through its constitution (I edited this, corrected)
article 9 of Japanese constitution involving its military
Okinawa is one base a lot of people have heard of, but there’s like 20 american military bases there. Japan depends on the USA for its foreign defense.
Since Japan is the largest foreign holder of american government debt (bonds) it might be appropriate to call them a vassal state.
It’s rather technical but if you were considering getting smart home devices, you can use home assistant to replace the app on your phone. I followed this guide to make a very lazy Roku card for HA. Then, you can keep the TV on your LAN but ban it from the internet.
I have a pihole on the network to keep the ads off the TV but honestly I wish we hadn’t bought the thing. It sounds like you can’t use a different DNS? That’s a real shame. I’m more or less in your situation, seems like a waste to toss a working device just because it’s a rebellious piece of shit.
On my Asus router, the relevent SSH screen is under Administration -> System and looks like this:
My router wasn’t compromised. If it was, ssh would be set to yes, and the sus key/port would be visible here. Please forgive the ultra paranoid purple boxes.
As far as IP blocking, I’m not sure it’s necessary, but I followed this link. It’s pretty easy to get new IPs, so if the attacker wanted to, they would do that. It’s more important to update your router.
Perfect graph. No notes.
I mean… Ramanujan was the GOAT, but he was still able to do his proofs. That’s more or less my point. He didn’t suddenly convert a bunch of Oxford mathematicians to Hinduism because he was able to do incredible math proofs (i think they would have been similarly unconvinced he was a time traveller). The proof was in the pudding… in the proofs.
In order to do Wile’s proof of Fermat’s last theorem, you have to invent 100 years of math from memory, something Wiles himself would (almost certainly) struggle to do, but maybe he could pull it off. I remember reading an article about Wile’s proof, and he was incredibly humble about it, and described it as a collaborative effort between himself and his peers IIRC. The proof itself wasn’t complete without a correction from another math academic IIRC. This thread is like, kind of a misunderstanding of math academics.
In 1875 you don’t have ZFC set theory and Cantor’s works are bleeding edge (I think Cantor’s work is controversial and incomplete in this time… fuck it, maybe you should just work with Cantor himself if you can find him. Maybe he’d believe you. I didn’t take math history IDK)
I cannot find a source to link to it now but I remember reading through Godel’s incompleteness theorem, a proof of Fermat’s theorem isn’t possible without the extensions of classical mathematics that were developed in the 20th century.
You’ll have to take my word for it on that last bit. I’m a time traveling dolphin, after all.
Anyway, that’s more or less my point, you’d have to basically be an incredibly talented math professor (in theoretical mathematics, not applied) to demonstrate this proof to satisfaction to a bunch of professors in 1875. You’d also probably have to be white and male. It’s just not something a casual lemmy poster can like, do, you know? There’s a reason that Fermat’s theorem wasn’t proven for 350 years despite being accepted as true.
(edit: I am tired so this is rambley)
You get into any university, ask to get the math/physics teachers together and present it to them, this certainly will start a chain reaction.
The demonstration of the proof is actually incredibility complicated. You’d need to develop many new concepts of mathematics (all requiring proper proofs and getting your new contemporaries to agree with you) before you can preform it.
All without the use of a electronic calculator and modern computer graphing and visualization techniques.
I’m not convinced its actually feasible… You’d be recognized as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time from all the new concepts you’ve introduced, not just the proof for Fermat’s last theorem. I’d pick something else. Like predicting an earthquake or something.
Anyone who thinks absurdist humor is generational is a goober.
Here’s some absurdist boomer humor:
Counterpoint: a fake maple tree will really stick out in the winter (if you live somewhere with distinct seasons)
Germans have a word for this emotion: Schadenfreude (it’s difficult to pronounce you should click the video for pronunciation advice).
German engineering is amazing, they’re even incredible wordsmiths.
In the bottom right hand corner, you can see the words “tribute to a comic by BORS”. The comic artist’s website has this to say about this comic: “Tribute to that famous and cool comic by BORS”.
Its fine I guess? I think he should have linked to Matt Bors’s website (which is easily found on google) but whatever. It is a low effort MS paint comic, after all.
Idk man, having down syndrome also gives you a much greater chance of things like heart defects. Life expectancy has improved recently to 50-60yrs old for them according to a quick search. I don’t think there’s a dilemma here at all. I wouldn’t want a disease that decreases my lifespan.
