Yes and so the answer is: "because capitalism is full of shit, the huge market goes unfilled because there is even more money to be made in fucking people than there is in this particular huge market and there’s only so many resources to go around, so maximum profit might mean maximum fuckery, but who fucking cares, certainly not capitalism.
Yeah they’re gone now. This is one of those things where I can’t get a capitalist to explain it to me. There has to be an absolutely monstrous market for this. So why does it go unfilled?
I cannot for the life of me figure out what they were thinking every time I see him macking on a girl, he comes across with all the subtlety of Beavis and Butt-Head.
You did great for a first-timer! I made two sets of very similar stairs and I was very proud of them when I was done. They’re quite difficult to do but when you finally get in there, like you said, it clicks. Hardest part was getting the stringers right, second hardest part for me was the landing, since I poured concrete and as you can see, I got it wrong by about 6 inches, lol.
“What you lose” OK, lol.
hops just have to be closer.
It doesn’t take much of a leap of imagination to see a torrent-like system utilizing all available devices within earshot to spread the bandwidth around to realize a pretty fast system available nearly everywhere in dense urban areas and slower (but ubiquitous) coverage the more rural you get. Obviously we’re far away from that now, but this definitely seems like the future to me.
I believe this stuff is going to be huge. Reticulum, Lora, Meshtastic all bit players now in a drama that has yet to get a finished script. It will start out as a supplement to the Internet, allowing you connectivity even when your Internet falters and as it becomes more ubiquitous, it will be increasingly used/usable and increasingly important. It can’t be shut down, it can’t be controlled. A country would literally have to ban radio signals of any kind in order to shut it down. It’s free. Buy the hardware, use the network, because you are the network. I love this.
Oh I don’t disagree, just that the first two seasons had a significant amount of cringe that smooths out by season 3.
As with most shows, the first couple seasons are the weakest, but the show overall is just fantastic. It’s a must-see for scifi fans.
I didn’t really need to know anything in this thread.
