This is not a place for smart people

It’s called “getting Munched”.

You can’t just blame 18-26 year-olds. This was a failure across all age groups. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/interactive-how-key-groups-of-americans-voted-in-2024-according-to-ap-votecast

I only have a vague understanding. The technique used to manufacture integrated circuits is called photolithography. Basically, these circuits need such tiny features etched into them that we can’t do it through traditional means. Instead, we draw a picture of the circuit we want, hundreds of times larger, shine a light through it, and use lenses to shrink the pattern down to size. This big pattern is called a “mask”.

So what’s the deal with the demonic sigils above? As we make our circuits smaller, the physics gets stranger. For instance, there’s this effect called quantum tunneling where electrons just teleport to a part of the circuit we would not expect based on classical physics. Due to these kinds of effects, we have to do crazy things to the masks if we want the circuit to behave correctly.

Are you a child? Are we discussing risk of injury? The attractive nuisance doctrine is irrelevant to this discussion.

Edit: Didn’t realize you were the same person from the other thread who I already gave up on. I don’t intend to respond.

I don’t really know what you’re saying anymore. I tried to engage politely. Moving on now.

Well than it’s not working, because microbial action causes the smell.

I’m no scientist, but it seems to turn my food scraps into dirt without smelling bad.

It’s a garbage can, what harm can come from someone using it?

The harm is that I can no longer quietly enjoy my yard. Because it smells like poop.

And if you don’t want it touched, put it in your backyard or lock it.

I have to take the trash to the curb in order for it to be picked up. I leave for work before they pick it up, so it’s out all day. During that time, it racks up 3-5 dog poops, guaranteed.

Are people not free to walk up to your house and touch your doorbell?

You’re being obtuse. A doorbell is intended to be used by the public.

If I had an apple tree in my front yard that’s not fenced, yes the neighborhood could freely help themselves, obviously a bike is an entirely different situation, and using it as an example is fallacious.

The only thing I can think of is that you must not live in a city. We get a lot of foot traffic here from people who I haven’t met and probably never will. If they all felt entitled to pick from my imaginary apple tree, it would be bare in a week.

I like to sit outside sometimes and I don’t have a very big yard. Believe it or not, the smell is not always contained to the bin.

I also happen to have a compost bin nearby. It doesn’t smell like rotting at all.

Are people seriously this fucking entitled that they can’t let someone use their bin so they don’t need to carry a bag…? The hell happened with community spirit and being neighborly?

Yes? I am entitled to exclusive use of my own garbage can. It’s not public property. I feel like this is pretty obvious if you think about it.

If I had an apple tree in my front yard, passers-by would not be entitled to just take apples. If I had a bicycle in my driveway, no, you can’t take it for a spin.

You sound like someone who poops in residential garbage cans

Hosing it out doesn’t help unless I do it every week.

I’m not stewing over it, it’s the poopcan that’s stewing in the sun until I come home from work.

As someone whose bin receives unwanted poop, the issue is that it goes straight to the bottom of the bin and never leaves because they don’t lift the cans up all the way. Then it gets smashed by my own trash, so now I have a permanently poopy-smelling trash bin that receives weekly deposits.

Fun fact, n + (n+2) = 2n + 2

The nanometer-scale sigils are getting increasingly elaborate, presumably because the tinier demons are better at escaping.

I wouldn’t say all of them. This is a great day for Putin and Netanyahu.

Brave and Opera are both forks of Chromium that incorporate upstream changes. Firefox is an entire browser.

Along comes a smooth talking con man

He has the best words.

Also, if they’re so smart, then why are they dead?

Personally, my goal is to challenge people to think critically about billionaires. Taylor Swift is a great example precisely because fans have put her on a pedestal where she can do no wrong. If the goal is to gather an angry mob, then sure, it’s more effective to focus on Bezos, the guy they already dislike.

If she was a good billionaire, she wouldn’t have hoarded wealth to this degree! Yes, Bezos is 200x worse, but I would bet (less than $1B) that she will catch up in the next decade and we’ll all still be apologizing for her.
