Which conversions? Most metric conversions are drastically simpler than their imperial counterparts.

Lol, as if their Wal Mart rifles are going to help them against reaper drones.

Post economic system

I’m not even sure what this would mean. Are you talking about everyone having a replicator and no one trades goods and services anymore? An “economic system” is just the umbrella term for whatever method people use to exchange goods and services.

That would be great, but what does it have to do with Israel/Palestine?

And realistically, what the fuck is the Canadian government going to do? Go to war with Israel and by extension the US?

In this case, none of that applies. I do industrial programming. 99% of the ethernet networks I have to connect to don’t have a router, and nothing is running DHCP. They locked out my ability to manually change my IP address.

I encountered “lawful evil” once. My answer of “I know what the problem is. I know how to fix it. But because you have no clue about what this company actually does to make money, you took away my ability to do it. So now I’m here, wasting both our time” didn’t seem to go over very well.

Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don’t feel like paying? If you can’t answer “yes” to all these questions, you aren’t the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.

Yeah, but I did. You can’t just ignore individual words and respond to something I didn’t even say.

You must have learned a different definition for “utopian” and are very much stretching the definition of “post scarcity”. We ain’t there yet, and aren’t going to be for the foreseeable future.

As for the first paragraph, the vast majority of western society doesn’t work that way. There are a few major examples in the US that do (Amazon comes to mind) that are rightfully criticized for it (although I wish the criticism came with a side of actual consequences).

I was thinking about desktops, where the fan would be physically plugged into a fan controller instead of into the motherboard. Not sure what that would look like with a laptop.

I was mainly asking because some of those fan controllers default to full on when the usb connection is absent, and Windows doesn’t enable all usb connections until after the user logs into the system.

Do you have your fans controlled by the bios or a fan controller?

That analogy was flawed from the start and doesn’t apply to anything. Stop using it, and stop even thinking about it.

With the current election, there are two choices, and only two choices. That is the reality you have to work with. We know that x number of Republican voters are going to turn out no matter what. So by not voting, you aren’t making any kind of moral stand. You are just deciding to let the greater of two evils win.

The analogy kind of falls apart since she is not limited to this guy and Chad. She’s free to choose nothing at all. With Trump vs Biden, there’s no viable third option, and having no president is not one of the options. So the “Trump is worse” argument becomes viable simply because you do have to choose one of them.

For the shoplifting thing, it depends which store it is. Big chain grocery store? Yeah, I couldn’t care less what someone takes. Small single owner shop? Fuck you for stealing from that guy. Those stores struggle enough just trying to compete with the Walmarts of the world.

I don’t care what system you implement, staying alive is going to require labour. We’re nowhere near utopian sci-fi style post scarcity yet.

Not sure if Fusion360 supports Linux. Only other choice I can think of is FreeCAD.

All good ideas start off theoretical. These are just the details that need to be considered in order to turn a good concept into an actual functioning system.

How does that scale up to large communities where people aren’t generally going to know each other on that level?

I really am curious what you mean by “moneyless” though. Like, is it just doing away with the money systems we’ve built (like banks, stock markets, etc) or is getting rid of the concept altogether and returning to simple bartering?
