And that's why I think they'll be the nail in our coffin.

Humanity can survive climate change; adapting to our environment is one of the reasons we're the dominant life form.

Obviously this isn't saying that climate change is good, but humans have made it through a bottle neck before. But you can't survive a bottle neck if you can't make more people.

Plus, the environment would recover when most of humanity is wiped out. Plastics are here for the next few hundred years at least.

If they follow their deployment, then they have the opportunity to refuse unlawful orders. Or even just do a shit job at following them "Sorry sarg, couldn't find any brown people today. Looked everywhere."

Refusing to go at all just ensures that people who don't object to the orders are the ones who go.

Seeing as we don't fully understand the effects of micro plastics, it might not be.

I'm still convinced that micro plastics will be the final nail in humanity's coffin, not climate change.

That's why I love my twin blade mower. Turns all yard trimmings into basically powder that feeds the lawn and even helps prevent moisture from evaporating out of the soil.

I also use controlled natural selection so that only shit that can survive our brutal summers grows, so I don't even need to water.

Misinformation is too nice of a word.

I printed an enclosure for a few sensors that fit into a 1 gang slot (I basically copied the dimensions of a TP-Link switch), including the AC/DC converter. The thing is only drawing a watt or two, so I'm not super concerned about it shorting out. But, I probably need to use a UL certified power supply.

But, that particular project is tabled until I can finish converting an old oven into a heated build chamber to print with fire resistant polycarbonate.

Lemmy could technically be used as one

Well yeah. Them starving is a feature, not a bug.

Just take the extra step and buy a 3D printer and some ESP chips to make your own! I'm working on a full HAL9000 setup for my house.

It was a tiny rural school and I was a kid from a major metropolitan area who was in honors classes before relocating to a school that had none.

In her defense, like 99% of students at the school not doing homework and acing the tests would have been cheating.

The main purpose of homework, at least in the stem classes, is to reinforce the subject. Some kids absolutely need that reinforcement and to have the teacher correct their work to help them understand the concepts.

That it's AI generated bullshit

 

Yes, this is a real Am I The Asshole, not one where the answer is super obvious and the user is just looking to have their ego stroked.

My SO has BDD and genuinely thinks they look ugly naked. I think they're 1000% incorrect and that they're the sexiest human alive, and I would die happy if I could see them naked all the time.

I was diagnosed with a condition called Cone Rod Dystrophy which basically means I'll lose color vision, then all vision. The timeline is anywhere from next week to 50 years from now.

I want to see them naked every chance I can get so I can cement it in my head before I go blind, but I feel gross for posing that as a reason to let me see them naked.

Like, in the 10 years we've been together I've never even asked them for a hand job if they didn't feel up to sex because I didn't want to seem like a callous asshole, so this would be a big ask from me.

To add in complications, they're also on the spectrum. Not a criticism since I'm most likely on it too.
