I hate you… So much, take your internet upvotes and leave…

Skulls make for very poor goblets… Unless you have a mortal enemy without eyes.

100% but they are trying, they are mad scientists and see the same problems we all do but unlike the Adjuster they seek a different soultion to the failures of the system. These guys got prime stage space at DEFCON this past year, they are clearly having some success.

The other part is that in this regard, Im just a layperson on this subject and have enough expertise to probably recreate the set up (the printed parts and arduinos), but not to do the chemistry (Nor do I have a need to, I just read articles on their presentation and want to discuss them). You are also not the first chemistry wizard who ive seen or directly talk to about these guys that expressed that exact sentiment of how crazy/stupid this is.

The point is that people are desprate enough when dealing with the medical world in the US that there is a group trying to reverse engineer important drugs, or wacking insurance CEOs. So far these are the only two things that ive seen that are moving the needle and not in a good way.

Mainstream media will try to move it to the next news cycle to be forgotten. We will keep the flame lit ourselves.

It costs enough that it was featured at DEFCON this past year.

Four Thieves Vinegar Collective did a presentation where they made their own hep-c medication for a few hundred bucks + equipment.

Here is their website for those interested Link. But be warned, these guys very much have crossed a line in regards to IP law and general medical saftey practices. Governments do not care if your trying to make insulin or meth, they just see a mad scientist making drugs, and these nerds intend to make it a fight.

If he is working at a place that requires steel or composite toes they will also look like clown shoes.

Press secretare is just a modern herald or crier, they are the voice of the king.

As for the weatherman bit, your right, but thats also the joke…

There are two jobs where you can go on national TV, lie and not get fired. President and weather man.

To quote one line from Netflix’s Inside Job.

JFK: We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because I am hard.

No, and this saves no lives, utilitarianism is bad philosophy, grow up.

I like trains.

Feelings on the topic should allow for nuance and shades of grey, not everything is black and white. Im in OPs camp… Dont celebrate the death of any human, and the amount of damage to peoples lives the company this guy helmed does is unfathomable. You are allowed to hold both opinions.

Sure is a good thing that florida doesn’t have forest fires… RIGHT?

2 cents on this, DOTA 2 is a much more complex game, with almost the exact same soft skills. I hang out in DOTA more ofter, but every year or so a family memeber askes me to patch League and I am able pick it up like an old bike. The extra mechanics such as denying your own team, traditional vision mechanics (purchasable wards) and a different balance philosophy makes it feel like a professional hockey player shows up for their local beer league.

League is a good introduction to MOBAs, but its monitozation is bad, it has a stronger focus on map timings (IIRC dragon can make or break an early game) and most importantly, there is a surrender vote. DOTA 2 does not have that (your queue is a commitment, you cant walk away from games, without being labeled as toxic and being relegated to the bad sport queue), the learning curve is steeper, and while there are no requirements to unlock the roster, everyones design philosophy is that most everyone can carry (pos1) if you try hard enough.

Correction: Livable contracted minimum. I understand there are exceptions for tipped and comission gigs, I feel like they are not ok if it lowers the baseline pay below the minimum wage (which needs to be ratcheted up anyway).

Atleast this map remembered NZ.

How many roads must a man walk down?

Darth Vader is too cool for that shit, your probably going to be more of a Dark Helmet.

It absolutely isnt

President Comacho has a problem, finds the most qualified person to fix it, does so (reluctantly) and then dosen’t take credit. This so divorced from reality that it should be concidred high fantasy.

No, noone is under any obligation to do so.

Remember what they say on airplanes. Secure your own mask before helping others.
