I'll make the analogy more clear to you. In 1984 the government got absolute information control, thats what you guys are worried about. In Fahrenheit 451 people themselves censored everything that offended anyone, eventually leading to all the books being burnt.

People have opinions, and lemmy is becoming a worse echochamber than reddit.

How about just deal with it? Internet is meant to be free space, that includes racists, bigots, rednecks, people you disagree with.

Lemmy is worried about 1984 but in actuality is becoming Fahrenheit 451.

I hate the fucking movie. Everyone is pretending for it to be a masterpiece but in reality its fucking boring. 95% of the movie is just dialog. They didn't even properly show how the bomb was built or the problems they encountered. But for some reason I should give a shit about his ex wife and his current alcoholic wife. Boring movie and I will never watch it again, a waste of time.

Okay, yesterday I tried out MIG and here are the comparisons with stick welding:

  1. Mig doesn't leave much of slag at all, the residue you get is more in a "dust" form which is much easier to brush off compared to the slag stick welding leaves
  2. Much harder to get impurities into the weld itself
  3. Harder to follow the weld line compared to stick welding using pencil holding technique
  4. Have to play with the settings quite a bit before you get consistent line
  5. Much better for spot welding because you can position your hand and electrode, and press the trigger when you are ready, avoiding additional hand movement.
  6. Surprisingly the spatter is more aggressive and gets stuck to surface more than my electrodes. Could be due to the wire I am using

These are my notes so far.

Doesn't mean we have to burn fossil fuels. Ethanol is cool as fuck. Less range but more power and you can make it with various methods.

As for bicycles, I cycled for many years and worked at a bicycle shop. Their "gearbox" design is horrible. Their durability is tragic. For commute I am using electric scooter now, much less reliability issues. I hate the tires on bicycles and scooters though, seriously need to get tubeless.
