Yeah in martial arts there is a concept of ‘minimum effective effort’ by various names. Essentially you do the minimum possible to be be effective in your defence/offence but withhold as much energy as possible for the next threat- that’s what this is, the minimum required effort to put out regular content to rile up the hogs. If the hogs are riled, that’s great, you’re done. Only work harder if the hogs start to question the slop.

Why is grok writing in such an annoying “hello fellow kids” voice?

Agreed, F1 and Golf are 100% sports

Define:

1. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

2. A usually challenging activity undertaken for amusement.

No way f1 and golf don’t fall into those definitions.

Hmm, not sure about bikes. Sure as a mode of cheap transport they’re very proletarian, but as a sport - it’s a rich man’s game - competitive road bikes cost (tens of) thousands.

Polo is the most reactionary (in Europe at least) with other equestrian events closely behind.

I’d say football (soccer for seppos) is the least reactionary, all it takes is:

• almost any space (a field ideally, but an road or alley or a yard etc is fine),
• a ball, (including a makeshift one made from plastic bags and twine),
• some goal makers (a T-shirt, rock, tree, painted bit of wall etc)
• and a mate

and you’re playing.

Weird wording, couldn’t you just say they’re producing as much in a month as nato in a year, or 12x nato. 3 times in 3 months is a weird way of expressing it. Why not 100x in 100 months!

3500 upvotes - why I won’t use Reddit

Yeah but that is still pretty identifiable, the same way fingerprinting works pretty well for finding a user with a specific screen resolution, os, fonts, etc that already makes a specifically small subset of users that you can start to find patterns and identify individuals. The tiny subset of users who might be tempted to go about anonymising inputs is already thinning the field huuugely

1. if they work reliably these tracking techniques will become pervasive across the internet.

2. this is one of those things where the more you anonymise your data the more identifiable it is compared to everyone else’s non anonymous data.

3. see above

4. yeah…

I mean you’re welcome to post a competing view and argue it competently from an intelligent well reasoned position grounded in fact… you haven’t done that though, and you’re complaining that people who have done that who are refuting your hot air are an “echo chamber”.

It’s like going onto a maths forum and saying 0.99999…≠1 with zero substance to your claims only vibes and then having multiple people show proofs in various different ways to show you that infact 0.999999…=1 and you blocking the maths forum and calling it an echo chamber.

It is, a private company should have the opportunity to provide that service.

Yeah I don’t own a pair either too rich for my blood, but you used to be able to find them on deals for more like $350.

I made a pair of leather Moc boots inspired by these, and really dig them - but that’s obviously not for everyone.

These are very expensive, but if well maintained will last forever. They won’t be sweaty like a goretex boot, and while goretex will be more waterproof at first, the lining breaks down from abrasion and wear and becomes a non waterproof but still sweaty layer in your shoe. Leather is obviously non vegan (boo) but is a great shoe material.

Additionally it has a relatively thin sole which should be good for driving feel.

Well yeah, that first, but I’m not sure it’s enough.

I’m not a religious man, but I hope Hell exists for the Israelies committing these abhorrent acts.

Hey look it’s the invisible hand of the market

Would have been an amazing move if al-Quadia claimed the attack and signed off with “now is the time for peace”
