To shreds, you say?

Announcing the Horace-Armour particle!

It’s actually supposed to be ROMYFGBLIV instead of ROYGBIV.

You’re assuming the same density.

I mean, technically yes, but isn’t all this hullabaloo solved by, like, stirring?

Are you fucking kidding me? It took all of two seconds to find a catalog of the conservative scion himself actively stripping LGBTQ+ rights: https://projects.propublica.org/graphics/lgbtq-rights-rollback

Unless for some reason the only valid rhetorical claim is for there to be a recognized conservative leadership organization explicitly codifying in its charter that trans people should die, you’re wasting my time with your willful ignorance.

This feels like a bad faith hair-splitting argument. But just in case you’re not being deliberately obtuse, the conservative platform views LGBTQ+ rights, minority voting rights, women’s bodily rights, and many other important matters of human freedom and livelihood as invalid. Just because they don’t explicitly say “our platform is specifically to maliciously destroy the lives of these people”, doesn’t mean the de facto platform is not destructive of those lives.

Edit: Freudian typo hate->hair

The clear anti-LGBTQ+ conservative stance is no secret. Same with the white supremacy and Christian nationalism.

The catch here is that I don’t like people who try to destroy my friends’ lives. Since the conservative platform is to destroy many of my friends’ lives, I don’t like people who follow the conservative platform. Conservatives like to treat this as bigotry when it actually isn’t. It’s intolerance of intolerance, which is not just acceptable, but necessary.

Dude, spoiler tags!

The benefit of ice in drinks is its coldness, not its solidness.

Haha yeah, the whole thing is a risk calculation that you can take all the way down the rabbit hole. But having network on UPS has other uses too, at least.

I mean that if you have a cable modem and wireless router on a UPS, your internet should stay up unless the burglar also cuts the cable (much less likely).

Mine runs on 4x AA batteries, which lasts a very long time. On the order of a year. Cutting electricity would indeed prevent the notification, but a dumb lock couldn’t send one even with all the power in the world.

Plus, in a shared apartment/condo building the power is much less likely to be cut and in a freestanding home one could theoretically put their network on a UPS so any notifications would still go out.

One thing people aren’t considering is that if we assume that it’s relatively trivial to bypass either a classic lock or a smart lock, only one of the two is likely to give your phone a notification that it’s been opened in your absence.

There are vested interests who could probably keep it afloat on their own dime alone, and it would be worth every penny if they were forced to do so. It’s a ready made propaganda platform with a built in audience and sympathetic leadership. The only reason they’re trying to make profit with it is because it’s less money out of donor and investor pockets.
