A smart decision which the Americans are probably not gonna make would be to nationalize Micron once they become unviable for-profit business, in order to keep the competency and ability to make RAM, which is an essential economic input these days. Instead I think they'll just let the CXMT gang buy them at that point, just like they've let that happen to so many important firms. That's unless democratic socialism has taken enough control of the US political power.

This shit is so over. This gang ain't gonna collude on price with Micron. They're in for eating Micron. First its market share, then its IP by buying it for pennies on the dollar.

Especially pay attention to the CCP's directive to share IP among RAM manufacturers. They appear to be looking at this problem as a supply shortage of an essential component for the rest of the economy, which it is. But that also means they aren't playing for profit.

Yes, that's the best case scenario. In that case large firms tend to adapt with as little cost as possible to "comply." Collective action in their workforce as well as organized campaign to curb their TFW access is what they're really afraid of. Cause that tends to hit their bottom line hard.

Again, not saying we shouldn't take individual action when possible, just that it's not enough to enact the structural changes needed to put large firms in their place. I still make sure everyone I know knows what shit turd Timmie's is and why they may wanna avoid it.

Apart from the socializing time, the time to help the helper doesn't accumulate as time spent on your end because the helper will help again speeding up another task of yours. In the long run the time saved from receiving help and the time spent from helping would balance out. The socializing time is lost and accumulates. With that said, there are tasks that are impossible or take significantly more than double when done alone compared to when done with a helper. That could very well make up for the lost socializing time. Now add specialization where you help in tasks that you're good at and the helper does the same for you and those tasks end up done way faster than without help. And that's why we invented division of labour, which allowed us to turn nature into useful stuff much faster than before. 😄

I don't ask for help enough. Replaced a toilet yesterday and my back is complaining today.

Is that a Mavic A719 rim in the rear? Those things tend to be indestructible.

Was gonna say that only the wheels look dead but if the frame is bent, given it appears to be aluminum... yeah.

What sort of carbrain bullshit is this "illegal e-moto" framing?

around 8:50 a.m. when he was struck by, or crashed into, an SUV on Centre Street just north of Chambers Street.

It's not very likely to end up dead in a pool of blood when you crash with your bike, even if heavy at these speeds. This usually needs the kinetic energy of a motor vehicle.

The car involved in the crash was a bit further up the road. The driver, 40, was interviewed by police and not immediately charged. The record on the car includes three speed-camera tickets since 2024.

Yeah. Not a fan of these bikes for multiple reasons but more likely than not the murder/manslaughter weapon was an SUV.

Thanks for the pointer. Checked, tried a couple others - they don't know about it. They have some other non-random DNS records. AFAIK they can absolutely find it if they scan for all domains, but it'll take forever if the name is randomly-generated and sufficiently long. Someone has to be determined to spend the resources. This doesn't guard against that but against bots trying to fuck with the service at the port. I could move it to a wildcard though. There's an overlap with another subdomain (they're actually sub-subdomains and the first sub is common) but I could move that.
