Sure, the multiple guns are stealing the show, but what’s with the 2 ducks and 2 bowling pins? (And everything else besides that is pretty much just dentist stuff, not general purpose doctoring.)

But 99% of the problems can be avoided if you just don’t do stupid things.

People who say you need a profit motive to do work are just passionless and detached from the world…

You might even say they’re feeling alienated, as a certain German economist might say.

Brave > Chrome

That’s not saying much.

Literally any mainstream browser is better than Chrome. Chrome is the worst browser in use today.

I do, actually. But I’m not going to spend it on this frivolous bullshit.

I think instead I’ll install some solar panels on my house…

And a fender on the back wheel so it doesn’t rub against your legs.

I mean, obviously. Just look at her squirting!

“I thought he was only seeing other men!”

Synthetic oil is and has been a thing for a long time, used in lubricants.

It’s too expensive to use it as fuel, though.

Who asked for this?

All I can think of is the poor workers who will be abused and rushed like hell in order to make this happen.

Honestly, yes, I think it’s one of the best examples of anarchism in action the world has ever seen. And an especially pertinent example to point out to those who’d say things like, “Why would anyone do work or innovate without a profit motive?” Lots of good and innovative software, made without any profit incentive by a collective of people who are working on it just because they want to and they enjoy it.

Or a phone.

A simple note-taking app on a phone easily replaces the notepad, and you probably already have one next to your bed and in your pocket almost everywhere you go.

I really hope that at least one European country’s official response is, “Sorry, we are unable to send assets to Iran right now. Our navy is too busy reinforcing the defenses of Greenland against unprecedented threats.”

But sure, rightoids … tell me more about how you voted for Trump because you wanted lower gas prices for your giant pickup truck.

Most naval ships actually do carry these old school navigation devices (as well as paper charts) and train on how to use them, just for this purpose. Just in case something disables the electronic navigation.

We have ships where the entire navigation suite has been replaced with a commercial GPS.

Honestly, that’ll do just fine in 90% of cases.

Only issues are:

• What do you do if some country has maliciously turned off or disabled the GPS satellites?

• The commercial GPS unit probably isn’t very EMP-resistant, so it might quickly be disabled if EMPs start going off all over the place … as would happen in a nuclear war.

But as long as you’re not fighting anybody capable of turning the entire GPS system off and the war hasn’t gone nuclear, it should probably be fine.

Nooooo!

the point is that they will be locked into a walled garden with minimally-powerful hardware. Can such a device even really be considered a PC anymore?

My main laptop is an ancient chromebook that I jailbroke and put Linux on.

While they’re locked down, I wouldn’t really consider them to be a PC. But if you can unlock them…

Let’s see…

Workstation PC: 9 x 2TB SSD, 3 x 10TB HDD, 3 x 256GB NVME

Gaming PC: 1 x 2TB NVME, 2 x 1TB SSD

Laptop: 16GB built-in storage (impressive, I know)

CCTV recorder: 1 x 500GB SSD

Portable drives: 2 x 1TB HDD, 1 x 3TB HDD, 1 x 4TB HDD

Lying around not installed in anything right now: 2 x 1TB HDD

Plus a bunch of older, smaller, insignificant drives lying around or in ancient laptops that will probably never be used again. Could easily scrounge up a dozen or so tiny, obsolete drives if I needed them for some reason.

So … what do I win?

This one would actually be pretty cool for some things, though.
