sucking ass is the essence of cyberpunk 🤌

Yes, stupid empire units. You had me excited for a minute but I should have known that was absurd.

Hey, mastodon isn’t that bad! When bluesky runs out of funny money and has to enshittify it’ll be the one left standing!

You’re describing the gravity fed charcoal grills from masterbuilt and I love mine. Especially when I toss in a cast iron pan full of bacon and run it at 450 for half an hour.

I have a Masterbuilt that has optional firmware updates sometimes, nothing mandatory and certainly nothing automatic. It’s a gravity fed charcoal grill that works like a computer controlled forced air rocket stove. Gets up to 700 degs from cold in 10 mins if I want or hold 225 for the rest of time as long as I keep feeding charcoal into the hopper and emptying the ash bin. The computer is adding actual value.

No soggy pellets, no weird feeding issues, the biggest problem I’ve had with it was the hatch sensors all going out over time, but once I jumped the circuit past them it worked fine again to this very day, going on six years now.

I’m glad at least someone else here had that feeling. I ended up not liking mine at all and sending it back. I couldn’t get used to the pads at all even though I wanted to like it a lot, maybe it’s just my hands. I use my steam deck all the time, first an led and now an oled, and I can count the times I’ve used the trackpads on it effectively on one hand.

Easy? Who said easy? I didn’t say easy, I just explained a way it could be accomplished while conserving as much energy as possible.

It’s not actually a very fun game to play, reading the lore or watching a video of someone else play is sufficient.

no problems at all for me because I pay for the shit I use

How would you know if anyone did? If it happened on earth, the owner would say ‘oh’ and walk up to turn it off. You can’t do that in deep space.

MY HERO!

The goal is to engineer a ‘state of emergency’ so future elections may be canceled. That’s it. The guard could have all stayed home and the process will simply continue as if they’d come out because each step is purely performative to get to the goal.

What about those things require any g?

Asteroid miners are going to have more in common with spiders than anything else; find a tasty roid, wrap it up in cling wrap and set off bombs inside of it until it’s a bag of gravel, then get the whole mess spinning and just let go of the stuff you don’t want to keep. Hell when you’re done you can re-harvest the angular momentum to propel you over to the next roid and start the process over again.

a trebuchet could throw 300 grenades up to 300 meters

I am, family violence is fueled by alcohol. You’re right though, families would be safer with a complete ban on both guns and alcohol.

Gotta warm them up to using them against American citizens. Can’t just jump straight into that.

Why not ban alcohol instead?

It was very easy to read it in his voice. Support RFU on patreon!

Sure you can, if the military pays death benefits you seize them! But now what a soldier can do is take out hefty loans to pay off the debt of family and friends before enlisting and then leaving the lenders ultimately holding that bag. Might end up with a credit crisis even with 21% loan shark style interest rates
