This is 100% correct.

Press response should have been:

No shit sherlock.

That escalator could have been a national hero. A couple sudden starts and stops coulda seen the us being led by a vegetable rather than a facist rotting apricot.

Certainly not.

The first time I read how to make thermite, smoke bombs, etc… I definitely was too young to fully work out the ramifications of my actions.

With that said: how many people ignore warnings that are clearly posted? That’s a human flaw. It’s not age gated. Needing to see for ourselves that the stove is hot sometimes is the only way we learn. Acknowledging this - does it mean we shouldn’t provide the knowledge because somone may do something stupid? I don’t believe that should be the case.

In short: people are going to do dumb shit - but I don’t think that means we need to over engineer the world to protect them from themselves.

Considering the other content he’s produced I’d say this guy at least understands pressure reasonably well. The crab reference is a nod to the scary shit pressure can do to … Living things. (There’s some really nsfl shit out there on the topic.)

I’d give him credit for explaining (frequently) how dangerous what he is doing is… and frankly his willingness to quite literally showcase what the result of the badness can be.

Too few channels do either. And there’s some wildly dangerous shit posted daily that is over-edited and rarely even touches on the very real dangers of what they showcase. It gives the illusion of safety to people who likely don’t understand the science / risks.

Considering how willingly he comments on the badness that can happen… And the fact he actually pressure tests his builds AND does the math … I’d say he’s a far cry from a company that pressure tests their builds with passengers. Live. Breifly.

I appreciate his content. Its interesting and hearkens back to old youtube content before it became a glorified ad stream. Its a dude doing a thing and taking you along for the ride. If you are entertained? Cool. If you learned something? So much the better.

… I feel like for a very specific group this is probably like getting an extra scoop of icecream when they only paid for one.

I know we seem to be trending towards brain damaged children as leadership of our countries as of late… But… Did they just literally go: “no u?”

In my defense I’m waiting for the coffee to kick in… But I thought the image belonged to this post and I had a giggle.

Dont tread on him, he’s fallen and can’t figure out how to get up.

Technically yes… But I think he was more making the excuse for the gore “from the goresmith’s perspective.”

And I’m not sure if the compiler in any language would change a random check function… The others are a possibility.

Seems someone said it before me… But you missed the point.

I’ll respond to your statement generally though.

Basic survival on 56k was doable. Shoutcast or Pandora could even be streamed with occasional buffering while browsing more light, or less heavy, sites. On the topic of video - low quality 240 would be “manageable” again, thanks to modern compression.

Was it a good experience? Rarely. Was it passible? Certainly; and if a site optimised for load time and reduced bandwidth - it could even be near broadband “experience” with some caching tricks.

Im not saying everyone needs to be code gods and build a 96k fps… But optimizing comes from understanding what you are writing and how it works. All this bloat is the result of laziness and a looser grasp on the fundamentals. As to why we should take a harder look at optimization?

• Datacenter / cloud costs are rising… Smaller footprint - smaller bill.

• Worldwide hardware costs are rising… Less people will be building fire breathing monsters. Better optimization - better user experience - more users. Recent examples (of poor optimization:) fallout and early 2077.

What is utterly stupid is with modern compression and rendering techniques - if it weren’t for developers shipping a whole ass library to prod for one function that is simplifying 8 lines of code… 56k would still be usable for light browsing and access. It’d be slow still… But far from literally impossible now.

The sheer amount of “fat” on some (most) sites and applications is just depressing.

What’s the point of being healthy when they have rascal scooters?

Man and I thought imperial was nonsensical before. Octals gonna be really hard to explain in the future.

Rack tracks exist for this and if you are looking to not get smushed or see your equipment take a fall I’d strongly recommend it.

For a smaller lighter rack many racks can be bolted down and pulled out / rotated.

I second this. Especially if you’ve the means to vent it appropriately. It will help isolate noise.

And if youre feeling like some minor woodworking… They sell door framing for next to nothing at big box stores… A thinner one would vastly improve your light switch situation ;)

Its normalization. Its framed as a good thing… Like “protect the children” while masking the problematic thing… Like mass surveillance or in this case: people can’t afford a place to sleep.

After training AI for hours on our leadership… Were confused as to why everything autocorrects to “eggplant” and “peach” when messaging children. A true mystery.
