You can remark on how that orange is closer to red, and how that one is closer to yellow though


Does victorinox offer sharpening services? Some knife manufacturers have programs where you can either send your knife in or take it in to a store and have it professionally sharpened.

If your blade is losing its edge quickly, it probably needs to have a new edge put on it with an actual sharpening, v rather than just the touch up it gets from a honing rod.


I just replaced my windshield wipers last night and it was a nightmare. The wipers I got are supposed to be universal, which means the little plastic bit that connects to the wiper arms has a bunch of little sub parts that you’re supposed to remove based on what wiper arm connection your car uses. Well, considering I’m not well versed in modern wiper arm connection standards, and I’m also stubborn and don’t think you should need to dig out your car manual just to change your fucking wipers, coupled with the fact that the instructions that came with the wipers are just 6 wordless diagrams vaguely showing you what bits to remove based on which esoteric wiper style your car uses, I struggled with those sons of bitches for like 20 minutes in below freezing weather.



The initial investment for espresso is pretty steep, but I think it’s well worth it. There’s something so satisfying about making your own coffee drinks yourself. And if you think about it, you’ll probably drink coffee for the rest of your life, so you’ll end up breaking even eventually.


Ah, ok sure. Every dynamically typed language does that with assignments though, that’s kinda the point of dynamic typing. You can use linters to easily catch that kinda stuff though.


The Star Wars prequels hold up better than the original trilogy.


Huh? That’s not what happens at all. Python doesn’t just mahically create variables for you, you get an undefined reference error like any other sane language.

The image generation AIs just barely figured out how to draw hands and the LLMs recently forgot how to do 2 + 2, and you think we’re a few years out from AGI?


Thank you, that comment must not have synced to my instance or something.

That aside though, I don’t think you realize how incredibly difficult it would be to outlaw planned obsolescence, or to shift a large chunk of the population to riding bicycles. In the US, one would require changing laws that currently benefit both politicians and business owners, the other would require mass infrastructure rework the likes of which hasn’t been seen since FDR’s New Deal.

What does any of that have to do with space exploration though?


Link? The only comment of yours that I can see that mentions planned obsolescence is the one I replied to.


It sounds like the suggestion you want to make is to go back to our pre-industrial state. Is that actually what you’re suggesting?
