Trump doesn't want another election to happen. He needs some powerful tools to ensure that happens, ie, massive scale ai surveillance and manipulation. Eg, like Xi uses in China. I bet anyone here he starts a war as his excuse

In an interview with Zelinsky Trump asks "why haven't you had an election? " Zelensky : "because we are at war" you can see the idea percolating then. People think I'm a nutter for suggesting there just won't be another election but that's where my money is. I'm waiting for his version of the Gestapo, ICE seems to be a proving ground

That its impossible to find an oil can with a zerk fitting. I need one for my bridgeport that uses zerks for oil and not grease.

For machine tools I just use an oil can with a finer than normal tapered tip, this will depress the ball bearing in zerk / grease nipple fittings no problems, this also works with the ball oilers typically found on lathes etc. You can cut a tiny slit in the end too if that helps get oil in https://www.wentztech.com/metalworking/projects/convert-a-ch...

TV show characters can be good

I normally use Greek gods for snowflake servers

Not even particularly elegant code, for example, opacity is clamped between 0 and 1 in in the very next line a bounds check is made anyway.

  opacity = (opacity < 0) ? 0 : opacity;
  opacity = (opacity > 1) ? 1 : opacity;
  if(opacity >= 0 && opacity <= 1) {
      document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0].style.opacity = opacity;
  }

I wonder how this may have impacted world history. Something along the lines of humans have grain storage >> rats are attracted to grain >> cats are attracted to rats >> humans are attracted to cats >> human populations with cats become slightly more schizoaffective (which in most premodern societies is not really pathological) >> these societies commune with the divine more/tell the future/develop more complex religious institutions >> these religious institutions help stabilize society

Kinda seems like a win-win to be honest.

> these religious institutions help stabilize society

I'm not sure this is true, there are plenty of conflicts because of religion. I would argue the most stable would for nobody to be religious
