Sometimes for maintenance, sometimes because manual intervention was necessary. The machines where we did this were built in the 90s and have been in near constant operation. Moving parts are worn out and the tolerances are gone. Replacement parts are difficult to find and expensive to manufacture, so if something more complex than a ball bearing or axle got out of alignment, we had to pound it back into place (sometimes literally).

I personally never bypassed the interlock, I wasn’t paid enough to take on that responsibility. I would just file a downtime notice and call the on-site mechanic when needed. I didn’t give a shit about reduced output.

We used to routinely disable safety interlocks on production machines. A guy almost got decapitated once while performing maintenance.

You “own” your car, but the dealership stole the keys, removed the engine, and locked the wheels because you bought a used set of winter tyres from a reseller.

Best argument in favor of emulation so far.

Not leaving per se, but even now, there’s a disinformation campaign targeted at citizens to resist Ukraine’s EU accession, pushed through every media outlet owned by his cronies, from billboards to televisions. I don’t think even Orbán is stupid enough to reject EU funding, close agricultural exports, and give up his influence. It’s the worst kind of status quo, where everyone loses.

If you can, don’t live on the wrong side of history. It’s bad for the health.

From a completely selfish perspective, that is exactly my greatest fear. Hungary needs the EU to protect it and its people from its own government, and the EU needs to retain some influence to avoid having a second Belarus.

Perfectly reasonable to be attracted to physical traits or customs (clothes, hairstyle, body modifications) that are typical for a particular culture or ethnicity.

The problems start when attraction is contingent on belonging to a particular ethnicity.

Manjaro: “First time?”

of course “we” had to be involvedf, I fucking hate this fucking country.

LK: “I’m not taking any steroids!”
Narrator: “He took so many steroids.”

That’s wishful thinking. Users don’t give a shit as long as the problem goes away without having to lift a finger.

They have a half-assed solution without a problem. The next logical step is to create a problem.

Wrestle the cave bears.

Stop feeding the troll, for crying out loud. Look at their comment history. Look at the account’s name. Can you guess that they’re arguing in bad faith?

Social media literacy died in 2020, I swear.

They’re not even trying to hide that it’s dogshit at this point.

It wasn’t testimony, it was part of a victim impact statement. Vibes should never be used as testimony or evidence because LLMs are infamously biased and can’t be sequestered.

Clickbait title. It wasn’t testimony, it was part of a victim impact statement. The defendant had already been found guilty.

Still weird, but not as procedurally questionable as it sounds. Victim impact statements are meant to literally sway the judge toward a harsher sentence, and basically everything’s fair play.

If you want to be really pissed, read up on doctor disgraced former doctor, lifelong charlatan and grifter Andrew Wakefield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield

He abused autistic kids in a medical experiment that was meant to convince both the public and the scientific community that a specific combined vaccine (measles-mumps-rubella, a.k.a MMR) could trigger some kind of bowel disease that causes autism, all so he could peddle his own alternative that is three separate shots.

Not only them. The non-voters, the independent voters, and the protest voters are equally at fault. They knew the stakes and failed to act in the nation’s interest… for whatever petty reason they had.

We need to bring back 2010-2012 rage comic memes. All we needed was a badly cut-out blonde wig to trans Derp’s gender.
