i think the technicality here is that it would be akin to negligent manslaughter at best. Since self defense wouldn’t really apply.

aside from the fact that this would probably completely total your home, and kill your neighbors dog through an act of god.

This is a great idea.

Yes, it is profitable to work in Western economies, but current political situation often makes it outright impossible, and back in the days when it was possible it wasn’t super common - mostly due to language barrier (most Russians are not fluent in any foreign language, including English) and the culture that pressures people to stay in. Phrases like “you’re good where you’re born” are common sayings here.

what about online? Say game dev or something. I believe tarkov is russian based no? Though they have an HQ in the UK i think, for monetary purposes.

There was a thing with freelance work on international platforms that brought good money without having to leave the country, but soon after freelance economy started truly booming, Russia started the war which ended up in main payment channels being closed - and barely anyone outside IT specialists offers serious freelance work paid in crypto or by other means.

yeah, that sounds about right.

yeah, it’s just funny how visually similar they are in some respects.

Since I never said “fuck you, eat shit” or even anything remotely close to that, I have no idea why you’re dishonestly insinuating I did.

i suppose you probably haven’t literally said it. But saying that you haven’t gotten even remotely close to making that argument even though you have quite literally be extremely tersely aggressive with me. Is definitely one of the statements of all time.

And “this is the internet” is not an excuse for claiming you want to learn something and then not asking any questions about it. As far as I can tell, that claim is as dishonest as you suggesting I said, “fuck you, eat shit” to you.

and neither is this an excuse for being incredibly defensive for what is a relatively minor infraction of conversational assumption. And by the way, i have quite literally asked questions about it. I asked you what park specifically you were referring to, and then you somewhat clarified it.

Anyway, far too late for you to ask any questions about this because I won’t answer them now. If you expect to learn something by being rude and aggressive and finger-pointing and so on, I’m guessing you learn very little.

i could say the same thing to you.

It’s nice having fangirls.

it’d probably be nice if they sucked your dick, but unfortunately you’re too much of a cunt for that one to happen :)

nothing, i’m just making the point that it doesnt matter what you look at, there’s terrible shit happening everywhere.

Still avoiding a clear yes on Israel being guilty of anything. Mere “oh it COULD be”. No, it’s not a maybe. It’s a fact. A FACT which you keep denying, the pathetic child rapist defender you are.

how is it a fact. The papers you link directly disagree with your statement of “fact” here. Literally no body (not nobody, because people are) is saying that israel HAS committed genocide. If they did, the current israeli government WOULDNT FUCKING EXIST RIGHT NOW.

the pathetic child rapist defender you are.

oh cool, more ad hom, notice how i have not accused you of being a terrible person outside of being fucking stupid? Yet you accuse me of defending child rapists. Even though it’s entirely irrelevant.

You’re just so bad at this, honestly, keep the philosophy larping to some discord or some shit for at least the next five years. :D

bro go learn some new argumentative tactics.

Do you think NK is democratic because they have “democratic” in their name?

do you think israel isn’t because they don’t have democratic in their name?

Oh you’re denying that Israel is guilty of anything, just alleged to have been doing naughty things? I’m shocked. Yeah, that’s exactly the point of this whole thread. You’re a pathetic defender of crimes against humanity because you’re too much of a pussy to take the stand you know is the moral one, because you have relationships with people whom you’re not brave enough to disagree with.

you: “i believe that the sky is blue”

me: “yeah but it depends on how we define believe, and how we define blue, along with how we classify the concept of “seeing” color.”

you: “well you’re just a fucking retard who doesn’t understand how perception works, you must be denying the concept of blue existing in its entirety”

i’m disagreeing with the shitty way you word your statements, and then reconstructing them to provide my answer to what that question realistically should be.

And to be clear here, you very subtly diverged from using the term “war crimes” and transitioned into using “crimes against humanity” Which are two VERY different things. We agree that there are war crimes taking place. You keep trying to semantically undermine my statements and arguments so that you can say “i agree with you” even though it makes me look hypocritical, specifically through the mechanism of silent semantic corrections. Arguably this is equivocation, because you’re subtly stating that war crimes = crimes against humanity.

There’s not enough money in this world for me to go and read the brainfarts of a person like you.

yet you’ve done it, again, and again, and again, and again. For some reason you keep fucking responding to me, even though you just keep digging yourself a deeper hole for me to classify your argumentative mechanisms into.

you also keep (amusingly) accusing me of being too frail to simply, make my own decision, even though literally all you do is (incorrectly) reiterate what other people have said. Have you been to gaza? Or israel? No? That’s weird.

i do have comments, for some things, but there are a lot of “commenting” standards that are just shit. I find i don’t care what the actual piece of code is doing, i care more about it’s place in the rest of the code, and i’d much rather have “anti comments” instead.

my brother in christ people are making child pornography using generative AI. Everything sucks and is awful.

you say this like im the type of person to write code with other people.

whats up with these shit ass titles? It’s not even REMOTELY hidden, it takes two fucking seconds of googling to figure this shit out.

The entire AI industry was dependent on GPU hardware manufacturers, and nvidia is STILL back ordered (to my knowledge)

This is like saying that crypto has a hidden energy cost.

this is why i very rarely comment with descriptive comments. If you’re reading my code and don’t understand what it is, even with how shit it is, you have no business reading whatever fucking crackpot shit im writing.

huh, interesting, rather informative. Appreciate the insight.

I suppose if you’re somehow making money from western economies it’s probably a pretty good gig. Are the domestic wages any decent? I’ve heard russia has issues with braindrain, for more educated fields, since pay and living standards are often higher outside of russia. Though i’ve never looked into it.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens economically as the war continues, or as it ends.

based and gigachad

but still, you would exist. Even though transiently.

oh, you were talking about europe" I was thinking about america. Yeah i imagine it’s going to be a while here.

Steel mills operate in two distinct ways. The traditional production method occurs at large, vertically integrated mills, which use ovens to heat coal into coke;1 combine the coke with iron ore in a blast furnace to produce pig iron; and then melt the pig iron in a basic oxygen furnace to produce liquid steel. This production process is commonly known as the Blast-Furnace/Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF) method. The alternate method occurs through “mini-mills,” which use electric arc furnaces (EAFs) to melt steel scrap and, in some instances, use iron pellets to produce liquid steel. Unlike integrated mills, mini-mills do not require coke ovens or blast furnaces. However, some mini-mills use a process called direct reduction to remove oxygen from iron ore with heat from burning natural gas; the resulting product, direct reduced iron (DRI) or sponge iron, is turned into a lump, pellet, or briquetted form that can be transformed into liquid steel in EAFs.2 Once steel is produced in its liquid state, it is cast into rectangular slabs (long billets a few inches on a side) or other shapes and left to cool. Rolling mills then shape the semifinished steel into a variety of products, generally classified as either “flat” products (plate and coils of steel sheet) or “long” products (bars, rails, wire rods). The rolled steel products often undergo additional finishing operations, such as coating, painting, and galvanizing, to produce finished steel. Figure 1 shows the process for manufacturing iron, steel, and finished steel products.

pulled from a US government thing, seems like most cleaner methods use refined iron. Although from some quick googling, it seems like this is a preparation method for iron ore, so maybe this is just a semantics thing here.

ok, and some statistics, it seem slike 30% of US production is using vertically integrated mills, or coal based production (presumably) Seems like they’re even cheaper, generally. Which is also a benefit.

So i guess overall, the steel industry is better than i expected.

bro this is the internet, you can’t expect everyone on the internet to immediately ask questions, in fact most of the time that people learn things are due to being corrected by someone else, either actively, or passively. You still have an opportunity to provide insight other than “fuck you, eat shit”

i don’t fundamentally disagree with you, but you need to recognize this includes a global perspective. You think china is going to 1/10th is electricity consumption in 20 years? Fuck no.

You think russia is going to do this? It probably won’t entirely out of spite for NATO.

we can focus on this in america, locally, but we need to be in a position to be capable of doing it first. Notably, having a green grid would be a good start. Or at least, an increasingly green grid, which we do currently have, though not to a massively significant degree.

Also, i didn’t realize i had such a good oneliner “The US of AI” what a fucking statement lmao. I’m sure i meant this as “removing AI from the US” but it sounds funnier the other way.
