i guess you missed the point and i'm not really surprised.

oh, about that, i just saw a clip from iranian tv 2 days ago: an irgc official in uniform was teaching the general public how to load and fire an ak47 ... good luck with that ground invasion. i shouldn't say this because it could put iranian civilians in greater danger, but we're talking usrael who have no consideration whatsoever for civilians anyway, they might aswell try and defend themselves. that's if they don't live in a city block that gets entirely levelled with stand-off munition because there's a suspicion that an assassination target might be there.

neither. trump will either declare a win and walk away or get into even deeper shit and then declare a win and walk away. the world already changed on march 2026, is moving on and there's no going back.

so ... for one lead poisoning doesn't particularly affect your lungs, that's just a possible entry point. which is indeed a valid concern, and smoke is a hazard in itself, no question. just to get that out of the way and not to blow this out of proportion and into the realm of catchy slogans, but stick to the actual facts and observations.

the study itself is paywalled, the sources aren't particularly reputable and the amount of information given is quite sparse. from the study's own abstract we know:

linear regressions yielding coefficients of 0.34 and 0.43 are presented as "moderate", while in a science/physics context that would be rather "low-to-moderate". this would be the association of lead present in particulate with it coming from wood burning: low-to-moderate. further, "slight-to-modest" coeffcients (0.09–0.47) of lead-potassium at most sites + the fact that strongest associations were on the pacific coast (0.40, still low-to-moderate) ... suddenly suggests that a strong relationship between potassium and lead is observed. sorry?

without more data this study and the concluding word salad should be taken with a lot of sodium.

but let's just assume there actually is a strong correlation. where would that lead have come from? obviously from decades of using it in fuel and industrial and domestic applications (even toys for kids), as you well know "lead doesn't grow on trees". so the problem is having used lead irresponsibly for years. now traces of it still remain in trees and used wood (and probably all around the place) and will be making it into the environment (waterways or air) and our bodies no matter what for a long time, whether it's by burning, by wood simply decaying or by being chopped into furniture, and i would further suspect residual lead to be not only in wood. the main problem here isn't burning wood at all, it's decades of reckless use of lead, a practice surely defended for many years as "slight-to-low hazard" by dubious "scientific" claims just like these.

now back to your lungs:

indeed, in an ideal world we shouldn't be using lead nor burning stuff. the world isn't ideal, and this isn't remotely comparable to existing hazards to your lungs and health in general caused by industrial pollution and transit, so let's not blow it out of proportion. if you want to scoff at a few uk trendies just because, fine, but you go tell that to people that have little other means and you may ask yourself why in the present world people still need to do that, with all we know and the resources we have?

how sad is ones life that they think recording country music would somehow piss off white people lol

that's rich.
is china blowing up civilian boats in the caribbean?
is china intercepting tankers and confiscating ship and cargo in international waters all around the world, which is the definition of piracy?
is china threatening to make other countries their fifty-x state?
is china imposing tariffs and (illegal) sanctions around the world willy nilly?
has china been fostering color-revolutions all around europe and asia?
has china educated, funded and armed takfiri fundamentalist groups (alqaeda, boko haram, isis) and then unleashed them on other countries?
is china carrying out a genocide in western asia?
has china attacked iran without provocation, twice (and failed), and plunged the world economy into chaos in the process?

please tell (with a straight face) how is china "aggressive"?

this is partly true. china has no intent whatsoever of projecting military power. the us is indeed safe, not just because it is surrounded by oceans, but because china doesn't give a shit. however, china is also more than safe. fuck around and find out. besides, iran just showed the world what us military power is capable of: being the world's laughing stock.

now, in this context and after decades of western exceptionalist propaganda i understand your primitive instinct to indulge in trashtalking any other country except yours, but you really should be worrying about how to salvage at least something of your decaying colonial empire. that means: mind your own business and fucking reign in your degenerate elite. oh and try to rbe nice to your neighbors. good luck.

A lengthy sentence for a REPEAT offender who was currently on bail for previous offenses. When you add in all the facts this really isn't a case of him being punished because it was someone rich, it is him being punished for not learning his fucking lesson and being caught doing the same shit over and over.

10,000 testers would not even scratch the surface of the number of drivers and hardware combinations that need testing.

What about bowel movements? Seems to me that the bathroom is owned by them as well, do they get to track my bowel movements and women's cycles also? It's not as black and white as it seems.

Now do white collar crime.....

Sure, now apply that equally across rich and poor people and I will listen. If you deny someone health care they paid for through premiums and they die, shouldn't you be charged with murder under your reasoning?

Yes, this exactly. Why do people have such a hard time ignoring the words and watching the deeds with people, especially clown boy Musk? If people would stop listening and just watch and remember they could see through so many of these idiots and as a society we can move on without them as we should be.

Hardware manufacturers sell and make hardware, often the software and drivers are an underfunded afterthought. No easy fix for this problem.

sorry? then you're not doing your job.

pre llm developers didn't remember to do e.g. asm system calls either, and that's not brain rot but abstraction. llms introduce a whole new level of abstraction but it's non-deterministic, so you can use as much llm as you like but you still have to do your job. if you don't do your job then you simply aren't a software developer, you're a vibe coder.

and vibe coders are fine, they can do damn cool stuff, but they aren't software developers and shouldn't be discussing about software development. vibe coding is building software without any engineering rigor, the result should be regarded as a mere curiosity, poc or prototype until it has been validated by an engineer.

long story short: if you produce a ton more lines of codes then good for you, but you'll have to hire a lot more software developers. cry me a river.

People getting fired because the managers guarantee vibe coding works. Meanwhile I order coffee from an app that had worked fine for years and ended up waiting half an hour before needing to find an email proving I even paid at all, which the baffled store employees told me looked like an Uber Eats delivery that had been delivered. But hey the vibe recoded app gave my money to the company and that's the important thing!
