@FrankBr05713205 Hopefully the server serving $100 steaks and accompaniments is working harder than someone serving hamburgers. At least that is my experience. Fine dinning waiters and waitresses work hard to make your experience the best possible and can really add a lot.

@Able_One_ Solve the problem: 223 Wylde is a hybrid rifle chamber designed to safely fire both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition while maximizing accuracy. Many modern rifles use the 223 Wylde chambering.

@wholemars Tesla self driving works almost perfectly. What are you talking about, “when you lie”, who lied?

Property rights don't emerge from government decree or social contract. They arise from the fundamental act of mixing your labor with unowned resources in nature.

When you clear a field, build a fence, or extract minerals from virgin land, you transform raw matter through your effort and intelligence. That transformation creates the moral and economic basis for ownership. John Locke articulated this principle 350 years ago. Modern politicians and academics treat property as an arbitrary social construct that bureaucrats can reshape at will.

The Lockean proviso works because labor represents the irreplaceable investment of human time and energy. When a homesteader spends months clearing trees and rocks from unused land, they've mixed something uniquely theirs with the raw material. No one else can replicate those specific hours of work. No collective can claim ownership over the fruits of individual effort without committing theft.

The regulatory state systematically destroys this natural process. Environmental agencies block homesteading on millions of acres of unused federal land. Zoning boards prevent you from improving property you already own. Mining regulations stop entrepreneurs from extracting resources they've legitimately claimed. Each restriction severs the link between productive labor and rightful ownership.

Resources flow to their most valuable uses and wealth creation explodes when property rights flow from labor rather than legislative whim. Government bureaucrats deciding who owns what based on political favor destroys functioning economy.

The state's assault on homesteading and property improvement doesn't protect nature or promote fairness. It protects established interests from competition while keeping productive resources locked away from entrepreneurs who would put them to better use.

If you have a Tesla $99.00 a month for FSD is not an issue. Stop whining and put the subscription on your AMEX.

[XHabib @XHabib]

Tesla FSD is great but not everyone wants to pay for a full month

Should they offer more granular options?

[robert curtis @starthrower]

@XHabib if you have a Tesla, $99.00 a month is not an issue. Stop whining and put your FSD subscription on AMEX!

Amazon uses SpaceX to launch their satellites regularly. They will do so again. SpaceX does not “slow walk” Amazon launches. SpaceX welcomes Bezos to the space fairing community. Their only goal is to help humanity become multi planetary. Grow up and stop spreading fake news as fact.

Google is and always has been a virus, a blight on humanity.

[BuBBliK @k1rallik]

do you understand what Google's AI just did to an artist..

His entire Google account got permanently banned. Not just Drive. Gmail.. YouTube.. Every single service..

His appeal was rejected. No human reviewed it. An algorithm decided his life's work was a violation.

He never shared the files publicly. It was a private backup of his own creations. The AI flagged it anyway - probably the filename or art style - and that was enough.

- Google banned a developer's 14-year-old Gmail account over a research dataset that contained no illegal content
- Google expanded its automated ban policy in October 2025 - violations now trigger immediate termination with zero warning period
- No lawsuit against Google for wrongful account termination has ever succeeded in US courts

Your Google account is not yours. You are renting access to your own digital life from a company whose AI can end it in seconds - with no appeal, no human, and no recourse.

Steve Jobs explains exactly why he thinks Microsoft makes "third rate products"

"The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste"

"I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way. They don't think of original ideas and they don't bring much culture into their products"

"Proportionally spaced fonts come from typesetting and beautiful books. That's where one gets the idea. If it weren't for the Mac, they would never have that in their products"

"I'm saddened not by Microsoft's success. I have no problem with their success, they've earned it for the most part"

"I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third rate products"
