It also tries to downplay political division “in real life”. In real life, the American president is a fascist serial-rapist pedophile directing a masked police force to deport legal residents without due process, illegally deploying the national guard against citizens, and grifting shitcoins and accepting bribes in plain sight.

Nah they really aren’t obscure. There have been publicly released FBI powerpoint slides that link meshtastic radios to “extremist” groups. They’ve already been on the radar and targeted for years now.

They basically jumped through hoops to avoid making any kind of political point or statement at all, besides like “war bad”

That scene was a total flop to me given the fact that it ends with the guy choosing to shoot the only non-Americans and letting all of the Americans live, regardless of what “kind” they were??? It basically reinforces the complete opposite point than it seems to be trying to make?

I wouldn’t be as sure about that as you are

We already live in a world with existing, functional mind-reading devices. There is even a device designed to help people that are suffering from ALS communicate by reading their thoughts, and has a privacy feature where the user can activate and deactivate the device by thinking a password in their mind, in order to allow them to still have private thoughts.

Phones are not fMRIs though.

It sounds like they’re specifically talking about a phone, making reference to app permissions and TikTok.

This meme is just explaining the entire point of Homelander’s character, like… yes.

WiFi can also do pretty precise location. Bluetooth/BLE even more precise (inches or less)

That’s already the original use case. Cardiac signature biometrics, can install in a doorway and do identity verification and track/monitor every individual that passes through the threshold

3 letter agencies have already been using this for cardiac signature identity verification and tracking for a long while

Either works for me. If not baking the oil on immediately, just buff it into the pan so that there is only an extremely thin layer of oil

Drying it using heat, like heating it on the stove top while wet, will cause flash rust because heat greatly speeds up the oxidation reaction. Just towel dry it

I cross a bridge over a river

Honestly, probably lol

I do have an antenna and get some decent channels with it

You’re not wrong, although I think I’d still have to wait for the smart-TV OS to load and navigate the menu to select the Cable input.
