Votes show the approval/disapproval of the community. And I think it can be important to crowdsource content curation.

As a hypothetical, if every non-nazi blocked nazi contributors, then a new user might show up and notice a bunch of upvoted nazi content when in fact most active users don’t even see it. I’d rather downvote as much as I can in some cases.

That said, there’s plenty of other things that just aren’t my thing that I’m more likely to block.

Why care?

That’s a fairly complicated system to replace what is just an ultra simple switch at the pedal. The latter is even pretty likely to last the life of the car.

That’s a very well adjusted point of view.

Don’t be like me, that bottles up resentment that comes out in unexpected ways, which then leads to you being the first one laid off because you’re the least enjoyable to work with.

You came in here with your absolutist utilitarian life above all else or we all die post just to respond with this because someone suggested you to stop eating meat. Beautiful.

I’d prefer if it weren’t. Though that’s not the only use for this thing.

I love this kind of shit. Building things for the sake of it is worth it. Not only as just expression, which may be hubris but it’s still expression. Also entertainment, inspiration, pushing the art of engineering, and just giving people something to do, and all the good that comes with that like personal and trade growth.

A purely utilitarian life is a life only spent on survival. Not a life I want to live.

I’m fairly certain that wasn’t there when I commented but 🤷

They seem to tolerate eating straight up poop just fine. Humans wouldn’t handle that so well.

I don’t understand how the length of the digestive tract would have an effect on spoiled raw meat hosting untold amount of bacteria.

Nice, try RMS, I mean gnu

“Besides not being able to cool down while riding due to high ambient air temperatures, experiencing Death Valley by motorcycle when it is this hot is further challenged by the necessary heavy safety gear worn to reduce injuries during an accident,” the park statement said.

This is backward. All that equipment protects you from the air. Riding in shit like a T-shirt will dehydrate you by pulling moisture off your skin, as well as heat you up faster just by way of 120F+ air rushing over your body.

I imagine that would be a pretty challenging ride. I’d probably want a hydration pack and a cooling system.

OBDII only gives you access to metrics the manufacturer decides you are allowed to access. That’s a far cry from having control of your device.

Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.

Cracking Enigma was something that needed to been done.

I feel called out

Damned DEI bridges!

Yeah, the title kind of contradicts itself.

Animals like altered mind-states too.

I thought the whole reason for its usefulness (coverage) was that it wasn’t opt-in.

So that’s 3 people in this thread that brought this up. What does it mean? Is it intelligence versus athletics or something else?
