Yeah, exactly. SIAAS is an umbrella term for various specialties, too. My favorite is SHAAS; Simo Häyhä As A Service - very popular in Ukraine.

They’re dispensed via valve, no?! Checkmate asteamists.

Did you even care to read that article?

What do you think “investor-owned electric utilities” means? My WHOLE FUCKING POINT is that “competition” and “investor-owned” in the context of public utilities and services kills people.

Here, have a Wikipedia article;

Exactly my point. We (royal we, referring to a large proportion of US inhabitants) pay a privately owned corporation for services essential to living. They are allowed to extract profit via rate hikes and service cuts and are additionally allowed to develop monopolies. Dead people are a sacrifice private industry is willing to make in pursuit of profit (see: American death ensurance).

The “separate but equal” Texan electrical grid is a textbook example of why utilities management should remain under the purview of a publicly-accountable governing body. My quip is dark because people died. Its also true. Its meant to quietly challenge the concept that a government levying taxes is tyrannical.

Youre thinking FinnTech, easy mistake to make.

I have bad news for you; it’s all steam. EVERYTHING is steam. 🌍🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀🌚

Even you and I are just steam in liquid and solid phases.

What’s the difference between Texas and taxes?

Taxes keep you warm in the winter

Couple things.

Firstly; just because they are well-paid does not imply they have the means to survive without employment. In fact that places them far closer to you and I than to somebody capable of living solely off the labor of others. Additionally, large tech companies utilize H1B visas as a form of coercion for both the visa holder and the other employees.

Secondly; you open your first paragraph with

Nobody working at facebook has any illusions

But open paragraph #2 with

Many are starting to wake up

Those two statements contradict each other.

That’s not my point, though! My point is; blame the goddamn reptilian tech bro billionaire and the shareholders. Blame the government that allows Meta to exist at all. Blame the dysfunctional and cancerous-at-best socioeconomic systems that allow either to exist.

Or, to put it more succinctly; don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Does that price include the Pepsi cans?

Keep an eye out for the new Steam controller. It can interact via gyro, touchpad, and traditional controller input methods.

#ItShouldHaveBeenLars

To be fair, I too would be angry had I been born normal.

I’m not sure which job sounds less appealing; collecting it or splicing it

Wouldn’t that make greed itself the villain? Turns out following a socioeconomic philosophy that can be boiled down to “Greed is Good” leads to deliberatively exploitative and harmful outcomes, even for the “winners.”

And text only thus far. The Epstein files aren’t emails, they are TERABYTES of CSAM and worse videos and pictures.

Fairly sure those units are milliamp•hour per gram which makes sense for energy density.

Calling someone “subhuman” is the language of a supremacist. They are some of the absolute worst examples of humanity, yes, but they are still human. Referring to them as subhuman abdicates humanity’s responsibility to bring them to justice and to build systems that prevent a disproportionate concentration of power and influence.

There’s shallow drama, there’s deep drama and there’s Yarvin drama.

And Futo’s ties to Curtis Yarvin, red flag or dealbreaker?

Frankly I think Oswald was framed. I’m of the opinion JFK’s head just…did that.
