12-Year-Old Spends Entire Hiking Trip Fantasizing About Which Video Game He’ll Play When He Gets Home
  • Literally was thinking about how I'd have made my last worldgen datapacks differently on my last hike.

    It started snowing in the middle and I ended up going for like 5 times longer than I intended and meandering all over every path on Cougar Mountain literally, I'm embarrassed to say how long I was out. Had to do all my errands today instead. Was totally transfixed by the beauty of these gigantic Dippin Dots ass snowflakes

    I saw what I was looking at, kind of, the beautiful lichens and mosses. But I constantly thought about them in potential Minecraft/Minetest terms. Worst Tetris effect there is!

  • Yeah I was mistaken that wolf's definitely not it, the original video doesn't have a klaxon noise at all!

    I just saw the awooga version first I guess

  • Ye it's just a horn noise I believe it went

    Guys honk car horn when passing a woman -> awooga said aloud comes to mean the same thing ???

    Anyways what I mean is people are imitating a horn noise, or the cartoon wolf that is so horny he plays a tuba and shit

  • I just mean that the "AWOOGA" wolf is making a horn noise in that video: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=lVN1Apz45AE

    I think it was based off guys imitating a car horn honk done by horny guys in a car passing a woman.

    All drugs should be completely legalized globally.
  • Weed should just be legal tbqh but still controlled like booze but some drugs should always be strictly be medical imho there should not be recreational sedative markets really.

    Alcohol is bad enough and weed at least doesn't cause respiratory depression but idk about recreational benzos or whatever. Opiates. That's medical shit.

    Don’t learn to code: Nvidia’s founder Jensen Huang advises a different career path
  • sure, they're labor aristocracy jobs bc they're at the tip top of the global supply chain, but most people do not partake in that at all, or management etc, or legal/medical/whatever other high end shit, and 50% of the US is in crappy service work like mcdonalds literally.

    no matter what industry you work in you can only be pessimistic here lmao unless you're like in finance or useless c suite shit

    i'm not crying for the TSMC foundry or trying to work there. i hope the NATO+ intelligence services edge from high end chip production being under our control is unseated, it would be good for all of us

    what's going on with TSMC is indicative of wider issues with all kinds of US industries I'm in solar and frankly I plan to gtfo in the long term to a more interesting area of development. I don't expect it to make my life easier per se but there are a lot of reasons.

  • Oh also insurance prices and shit like that here are a nightmare. Legal is too obviously. That's why Nike could never just move all their production here even thought it would be trivial to teach people to make shoes. The convoluted global supply chain is the whole point

  • Yeah the casino bit is the most important part for sure. In light of how financialized everything is, huge costs, massively inflated financial asset & real estate prices etc, labor costs, it's more likely for Detroit to spring back into being an industrial hub.

    We focus all of our political energy on monopolizing the top of the value chain TSMC is a part of and we can't replace it with our own production bc it's so crucial for cutting costs down. They can't even expand the production for lower end chips (ROI isn't there) now so Russia and China are gonna scoop up orders from expansion in the many industries that use them (low end chips were like 20% of TSMC's revenue recently, iirc). Which will help them develop their higher end foundries which they definitely can make I mean Rosatom produces super high quality Xray mirrors and the Chinese govt won't balk at industrial investment or high tech training programs.

    ASML's whole position in this convoluted supply chain means they only make those shipping container sized thingies with the rube goldberg machine of mirrors hooked up to a gallium plasma light thingy, and that ultimately limits the minimum nanometer size of the circuits made in the fabrication units they ship out. If I'm getting that right 🤪. This is really futuristic stuff I'm talking about now but the next-next gen fabrication units beyond Russia and China catching up could even be hooked up to a particle accelerator. That's pretty hard to export in the same way.

    I just don't see how we can politically or financially solve these problems in the US or EU lol. We're kind of caught by the balls as workers no?

  • You are the one moving the goalposts with your boasts about how these companies make up LITERALLY an INFINITESIMAL portion of global chip production. Even if you cut out Samsung and TSMC they wouldn't be global players.

    No, we can't just bring all production home lol. We've been saying we will for years. Where is the foundry in Ohio dude? Where is the Arizona foundry that's supposed to bolster TSMC production?

    Lol yeah sure go ask ASML how their business is doing rn in light of the US chip war sanctions. European manufacturing is in as dire a state as the US now due to financialization and now the skyrocketing energy costs.

    People said this about our military production too. "Oh, Russia messed up now, we're going to get serious and amp up our military production." 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🗓️🗓️🗓️🗓️ (time loudly passing and nothing happening)

    How many times is it going to take for people to learn it gets transmuted directly into stock buybacks lmao? We don't have the electrical grid to build up our manufacturing base in the modern world yet. The US is a giant casino for the elite of our empire full of slums.

  • None of those companies even make a blip on global chip production though. Are they for research or something? Why should I give a shit about a tiny technically existing fraction of production that will never expand?

    Go look at where there has been actual foundry production for decades. None of the companies you mentioned even exist in foundry. Who cares if they have A facility or two? That's just part of figuring out what they're going to order from TSMC.
