Why would I remove my laptop fans? They’re the ones that keep up their morale and cheer them on.

It’s times like these when I wish I could just block an instance that isn’t defederated from mine.

Unironically yes.

Dude, what the hell? Calm down. It’s just the Internet.

Calibration? Performance validation? Like “the tube should behave like this and that if you push immediately thought many watts through it, so let’s do it within half an hour instead of having it emit low doses for half a week so we can use it again more quickly”. I dunno, I don’t build x-ray machines, but I think there may be use cases for machines to run outside regular parameters during edge case testing.

If you want to test the x-ray tube you might want to run it at levels not used during regular operations.

The machine itself?

Test. Damn. Test runs.

That’s not necessarily true. You could imagine rest runs (without people in there, obviously) where you want the thing to quickly emit a lot of energy.

Nvidia making bank though.

If life ain’t just a joke

I’ll tape this to my office door.

Thanks for the explanation. It kind of makes sense, but I’ll still try to play devil’s advocate… If people only get slightly more than 60 percent of the value they create, is the rest really only there to make the rich people richer or is it being used to pay off a loan the company might have gotten to pay for a large machine or something? With the bank receiving, obviously, the excess money, which they then use to pay their employees and buildings etc? These numbers seem to suggest that all money that isn’t paid to employees directly feeds the greedy ruling class, but it isn’t mentioned explicitly and maybe the excess money goes somewhere else as well? Not trying to say it has to be like that, just trying to get a better understanding.

Vets aren’t organised as a free market in Germany. Instead, prices are set by the federal government through the “Gebührenordnung für Tierärztinnen und Tierärzte (GOT)”.

I have no idea how that makes any sense.

First of all, according to your link, the richer countries seem to already be at much higher values, second I have no idea where that 50 percent value comes from even if we ignore the variety in distribution over the various countries.

Germany recently declared horses are no longer work animals but recreational, hiking vet prices astronomically. Also, horses might be driven around now but I’m sure there were more of them when 90% of the population were farmers and they all needed some of them.

Now you got the spirit.

Dude, you claim that they’re Nazis because they get rid of soviet monuments. I give you a whole page filled with Holocaust memorials that are perfectly fine there, which would have obviously been removed as well if your claim had any validity. And all you come up with is a) “how dare you post that” and now b) “your words don’t make sense”. This is dumb and citing Sartre doesn’t make it any less dumb. Come up with valid arguments or just deal with me saying “nah” if your point is crap.

Nah.

Or maybe, just maybe, getting rid of those that try to symbolise liberation but do so glorifying oppressors while leaving those that don’t do the latter is merely some good judgement and not nazism. 🤷
