This is an interesting approach from the CEO, in that it demonstrates why unions are mandatory.

That sounds more accurate. Woke: adjective that characterizes any action or statement that goes against a bigot's opinion.

Wait, you don't lubricate your M1 🪖??

Friend, I'm sorry but you're fucked up in the head.

Ask yourself the question: does human life have value by itself? (independent of everything, including age, race, employment, etc).

If your answer is yes, then every human life should be protected, and we as a society need to be organised in a way that provides the minimum necessities for survival (like food, water, etc). This is what the whole world, except the US, just said.

On the other end, what you're saying is that life in itself is worthless and that value is given by some other factor (like being employed). This means that, until proven otherwise, everyone is disposable. If you think through the implications of this, you'll realize you can do whatever to them - kill them on the spot, harvest their organs, cut them to pieces to feed your pigs, ... Is this the world you want to live in?

For the sake of completeness, let's explore the implications of #1, where people get "money for nothing". What's usually tested is giving people just enough money to cover their most basic needs. Would some people stop working, if they didn't have to worry about starving? I'm sure some would. But would you?

Because I, for one, like to be able to afford my luxuries, and will keep working to not give them up.

This is the war that's coming.

More and more processes are automatic, and AI is now breaking down the last holdout of "manual" jobs.

How will that future, where only a small percentage of mankind actually needs to work, look like? It could be heaven, but it's shaping up to be hell unless we win these fights.

This. Full AMD on my last build as well.

I don't care about any corp, I was looking at best bang for buck at the time. I was shocked how everyone I knew was like you should get this intel or that Nvidia, and when I asked why not <comparable performance AMD at 2/3 the price>, all I was getting back was marketing blabber.

Plus the drill instructor was a captain? I mean...

Think of the poor shareholders!

I think OP was pointing out that several of the competitions use air guns, but conveniently glossed over the one with shotguns (which I'm sure OP will love to know, China got a silver medal...)

Maybe the army guys that the US sent over for trap shooting got lost on the way?

Or perhaps shotguns are for babies, and they only know how to fire rockets or something.

Someone surely tried this on a Tesla by now...

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
