My wife’s cousins dairy farm has one of these robots. It’s like a big roomba that dispenses hay. The cows love that machine lol. He also has an automated cow hugger and cows like up to get squeezed by this machine. It’s pretty cool.

But there’s no guarantee that if the time came where someone was in need, they would actually act and give up things on hand.

I grew up thinking that friends and loved ones took care of each other when in need. I even dropped big things to help those I loved. My mom neglected her health until she needed an emergency surgery and once I found out I dropped a final exam in uni to make sure she got there and took her meds.

When I had a serious emergency though, I was completely alone. Both parents, all family and friends. You have friends until they decide you don’t offer them enough. It’s too much energy expended to maintain dynamics like that with multiple people. You end up feeling worthless and that takes a big toll on your health.

I went abroad where a lot of Americans were. I ended up fucking one and his wife. That wasn’t important to the rest of the story but I really feel proud of myself for that and can’t brag anywhere else.

Anyways, from the Americans I met, the overall majority of them were not very aware of what goes on in the news. The common sentiment was that they tuned out from all the news after November and still have to show up to their jobs so to them, nothing is really changing. Was eye opening.

Absolutely. I’m not disabled but I can say with confidence there are genuinely zero good people on this planet. Me included. People are truly only in it for themselves and will cast aside and trample anyone who gets in their way.

Learned that first from my parents. Even if they’re related to you, they will throw you under the bus at their earliest convenience.

They won’t do shit. The majority of them don’t even know what’s going on.

You can pry my aging Bombardier Dash 8 from my COLD DEAD WINGTIPS.

I had a garmin instinct solar 2 and that battery life was approximately 29 days so I hear you.

Check out suunto! Similar to garmin and some of their offerings have similar battery. The suunto cores battery is 12 months in watch only mode according to their site.

There are lots of European smartwatches as well. I too had a garmin but after the united states declared war on canada we have/are purging all US tech/products from our house.

It’s also not trustworthy. Would you want the united states to have access to your heart rate, pulse ox, gps location, and other health stats?

You can counter a rittenhouse with a second amendment.

Would you classify mint gum as “spicy”?

You can swap out ketchup with sriracha if you’re into that, achieves the same result in the end. Either of those two options on cold pizza is great.

And you’re just a temporary glob of matter 🙃 how reductive can we go?

Ketchup.

Edit: step aside, pineapple on pizza. There’s a new topping people get uppity about now!

Anyone remember the screen tearing issue that fucked basically 100% of screens from pebble? I remember.

I guess it must not have been very newsworthy then and not many people brought cameras. I’ll surely take your word for it though!

and countries

Yes I’m well aware of every country except for the us.

I haven’t seen a single picture or video of any of this. I’ve looked for it too. I saw a single coordinated protest of a 100 or so people called 50501 or something. That’s it.

That doesn’t happen in America. They’d rather wait for some magical government institution to save them. Canadian cities protested at Tesla dealerships this past weekend harder than any Americans did for their own country in this last couple of months.

My only conclusion I can come to as a non-American is that the vast majority of Americans want this and approve of this either fully or somewhat.

How is it going to backfire? Are there tangible consequences for anyone involved? Doesn’t seem like it.

What happens if you walk across two of these umbrella receivers? Do you feel anything?
