Humanity would probably have to eliminate psycho/sociopathic behavior. Something like 1% of humanity (much higher rate in billionaire and CEO populations, like 25%+).

Like you said, designing a system that prevents them from taking control without pretty draconian measures that are likely to catch many false positives (and still be evaded by skilled psycho/sociopaths) seems pretty difficult.

Maybe AI will be able to filter them out of the population, but that’s full of moral and ethical pitfalls too.

Naw the use google analytics to see what headlines brought the most ad click-through, then do a word replace.

2 guesses which one they carry on their dominant side.

Just like the Tesla Truck!

Though lack of both physics and engineering is on display there.

In the US, the camo option would only make them cooler to the kind of people you really don’t want behind the wheel of them.

Need more lip, cheek and eyebrow filler

Prolly a little HGH what he’s at it.

They do make a good pair of body dysmorphics though.

As an old Reddit user, that’s why I came here. Just gotta get up the wherewithal to start/ recruit some of the niche subs I enjoyed most now.

I used Dejavu sans mono (but modded to have a slashed 0. It’s based on Gnome’s Vera font, but at the time it had a very large open type feature set that appealed to me.

Edit: bumped send before finishing thought…

Fira was my replacement, but I never really could get used to the operators ligatures, so left them disabled. I’m about to switch and try Neon or Argon (though I may end up mixing them a bit if it’s not too much work). Jetbrains has a neat design, but the r and f feel really out of place and I’d have to mod them to not be annoyed all the time.

Torx deck screws are pretty standard now too. They work well and are usually powder coated. Our 10 year old deck is still doing fine in humid summers and frozen winters.

What part of royal status is missing? Wars on a whim?

I think once they have anything they want, they either need a new dick measuring tool, or else truly want to hurt others to feel better.

Billionaires are just super fucked up and need to go.

I have had a few projects manufactured as well. But that was back when Eagle was the best option (Kicad wasnt as usable or stable back in 2008-9).

I’ve really enjoyed the Code simulators in Fritzing, Tinkercad (the electronics section) and there’s a Mac/iOS app called iCircuit that offers SPICE simulating with Arduino code too and makes schematic design pretty fun for beginners. Also it links to wikipedia and data sheets for all its components. The problem is it’s not extensible, so you only get what it has included.
