There's so much incredible modern medicine that has absolutely no downsides or side effects for 99.99% of the population

This is just wrong to the point of being harmful misinformation.

Vaccines are probably the most amazing medicine, but they have (usually minor) side effects for basically everyone. I'm not aware of any medicine that doesn't.

How does this still happen? Emergency stop buttons are cheap, plentiful, and usually legally required.

The workers did collective bargaining and the bourgeois class found a way to fuck up the industry a new way. That is not the fault of writers, they are fellow proles, however well paid they are or aren't.

Blame the victims if you like, but the only alternative is bootlicking.

Diagnosing networking issues, short bash/python scripts of any and all purposes, gdb debugging, finding and learning how to use appropriate libraries, are most of my use cases. It's not a one-and-done either, I often have to ask it to explain, or fix a broken aspect, or Google the documentation and try again, etc.

I feel like a broken record saying this. But AI frequently does solve coding problems for me that would've taken hours. It can't solve everything, and can't handle large amounts, but it can be genuinely useful.

Red Cross aren't terrible, but note some of their orgs are very cringe. Be aware which one you support and what they do internally in the country, too.

This is not my experience

This really is the end point of "us-and-those-innately-inferior-beasts mindsets". Pal, those violent people are an inevitable product of your society.

True, but they're also rigged in about five different ways to specifically not explode. And then about five more ways to breach and off-gas instead of blowing up.

You'd have to make major adjustments to actually have one violently explode. To the point where you're just making a pipe bomb.

Radius is hard to say, they were like a tenth of a frag grenade (complete with the frag of batteries and pager bits.) Enough to blow a hole in a plane for sure.

I would know this as tmux, is there a difference?
