Kiwifarms also has a culture of non-interaction with their subjects. New accounts come on an brag they tweeted at someone and you get 20 comments saying, "don't tip the cows", "stop pozloading my neghole", "don't touch the poop". These actors have as much to do with Kiwifarms as Facebook had to do with Christchurch. And it can be argued Kiwifarms does a better job dealing with the bad actors and responding to complaints.

Your comment honestly sounds more angry and hateful than most of the comments you would read on Kiwifarms. Perhaps if people don't want to be talked about they should not make public spectacles of themselves. Clara ran a discord server called Catboy Ranch dedicated to grooming and "pinkpilling" minors. They bragged about getting minors on estrogen in their tweets, many if which are archived. There's archives of her Kiwifarms page, I suggest people search for them and take a look. Learn who @keffals and @bobposting are. Maybe these tweets were simply bait, in that case don't be surprised when you catch a fish. These internet activists types are their own worst enemy, I swear. Just the same way the online wing of Trumpism coalesced out of Gamergate, the extremist right is gaining power and passing real legislation against trans people and real life transphobia is spreading like a wild fire, here trans twitter comes to tear down the containment sites so they can come back and recruit on mainstream platforms like our goddamn school board meetings. Maybe if these terminally online trans women had any thoughts for the trans people just trying to make it in the world I'd have a little more sympathy but since the online world is all they know we don't even exist.

ArmaLite Rifle after to company that created it.

He talks about his professional engineer ring in one video and he's cracked a few jokes about being a dork with a doctorate. I'd guess depending on the things he talks about, the areas he seems extremely knowledgable in, and the traveling he does for work that he's an engineer in the mining industry who truly enjoys getting his hands dirty. So probably quite a bit more educated than a "repair guy", yet way the hell cooler than most people who's title starts with doctor and primary tool is a clipboard.

From what I've read they pretty much just gave a blank check to Yves Béhar's studio and built exactly what they got back without stopping for a second to attempt to even consider whether the design could be produced at a reasonable cost.

The Juicero was ridiculously over engineered. Extremely complicated molds, very intricate machining on the metal parts, just a ridiculously overspec'd machine in every sense. There are very few commodity parts in the machine, the labor costs surely were through the roof. As some one who spent some time in the tool and die field, I can say the parts themselves are just mind blowing. It is an absolutely beautiful machine inside, even if it is completely useless. I guarantee they were taking a massive loss on the machine. Check out this teardown:

They let their engineers just go nuts and blew through that VC money like a fat line of coke.

Start up time is just about the worst metric the previous poster could have used to illustrate their point. Once the VM is up an running, in many cases Java is almost as fast as C [1]. I don't know how much storage a Java installation uses or how much memory the VM hogs, but people are bundling browsers and Javascript frameworks together in to 100+ MB text editors these days. I imagine Java is relatively svelte compared to a few of those types of apps installed on a modern computer. It is definitely slower and more bloated than a C program, but I think in proportion to the resources we have today it's close enough for most purposes.

Glad you found something to help curb your drinking! I hope you keep making progress and get to where you want to be.

No you shut the fuck up, the APPS! Guy brightens my day every time I see a post from him.

It was indeed a skookum choocher.

Huh? It says there device measures both quality and quality and means Who guidelines for quality measurements. Don't see what the problem is.

They don't weigh a whole pound?

Really? I've heard of using benzos, but never the psuedoephedrine thing. I would have thought that a nasal decongestant and a shitty stimulant would have the opposite effect on a LSD trip, but what do I know? Interesting.

Chip design isn't that hard, it's mostly a balancing act between getting the best crunch and ability to retain various dips and salsas.

Prison isn't like the movies, especially the medium to minimum security prisons this guy will likely end up in. I've seen some of the nerdiest guys come in to the joint and actually do pretty well. May as well have been the first time in their lives they actually were somewhat accepted in to a group. Sure, if you're the autistic type of nerd that wants to fight and argue over silly shit someone will probably kick your ass, otherwise if you stay out of the bullshit like gangs, drugs, and debt you'll probably do just fine. Most prison rape and shit like that is done for revenge, it's an act of violence and a snow of animalistic dominance. Being a small weak man doesn't make you a target for rape unless they think you're a chomo or something. For sexual pleasure there are more than enough punks around that will gladly suck and fuck. The kind of people that are just relentless predators like that are usually segregated pretty quick, it's doubtful a man doing 2 years for computer crimes would ever even meet someone like that. As long as he keeps his head down his biggest risk will most likely be people trying to borrow ramen noodles and not paying him back.

A long rant for someone who probably was just trying to be funny, but as someone who fucked up royally in his younger years and had to do time it's pretty annpying. I'm pretty honest about my past, and invariably the first question asked by most people after finding out I did time was if I was ever raped. The answer is no. I've seen some violence, I've seen some sex, and even heard about a few rapes, but prison is a vastly different world from what it is portrayed, even at maximum security institutions. I even got the fuck beaten out of me and served three months in the hole on 23 hour lockdown, but that only happened because I thought I was tough and started shjt. Never had the slightest problem until I made my own.
