The whole point of the cat thing was to point out the absurdity of the claim that reality isn't real until you know about it. The cat is already in whatever state you observe when you open the box. It's not both alive and dead, it's either alive or dead. The thought experiment isn't serious, and it's not supporting the idea that the cat is somehow magically in both states just because you haven't yet manipulated the lid of a wooden cube.

Given that the tech they need to understand here is paper, empathy is hard and it's just frustrating. Computers, complicated. Paper, extremely uncomplicated. This is just refusal to use the noodle.

I guess I better buy a new Pi before they quintuple in price for half the quality

But he unfortunately also gets what he doesn't deserve, like billions of dollars

They do wear out eventually, but the end of their useful life is a whole crapload of rounds if they're well-made, and most good guns can have parts replaced either by the user or by a smith, so you can keep them running a long time if you oil them and keep them relatively rust-free. If a gun is so messed up it can't fire or if it fails catastrophically and blows up, if it's truly and permanently at the end of its life, I think most folks do indeed throw them in the trash, assuming they have no historical value. Maybe disassemble them or cut them up with a hacksaw first. Once it stops being able to be a gun anymore, it's just junk.

But an acronym that was intentionally made to be the name of the animal, so it's just a duplicate, like all three of the non-singer seals, which just mean to lock something in or out. There are only 2 meanings of seal here, plus a singer who named himself after one of them.

It helps to not be a loser right now. Elon is in his 50s and still acts like a childish, insecure douchebag. The fact that you are able to acknowledge your previous loserdom makes you already less lame than Elon. No amount of money can make him cool because he completely refuses to ever work on himself.

Funny, because Kanye is convinced he's Jesus

No, why would they? We don't like tired eyes or tired batteries

Not that this is real, but you can make lenses with a wider FOV than makes sense for your average phone. You've heard of wide-angle lenses, I'm sure.
