it would probably be easier to list the things the U.S. government is not willing to do.

Damn, you're right: that was easy!

"Mildly" only because I'm pretty sure it's already illegal. Still, fucking absurd that they even have the gall to try.

He should unionize the staff before he leaves.

IIRC it would start to break if you made it too big in the previous game (and I'm not talking about the strength reinforcement at depth mechanic; I'm talking about Youtubers like Let's Game It Out building a tube halfway across the map).

I myself had a base that reached from the surface biome down into the jellyshroom cave, and another on the island with a ladder from the beach to the summit.

How old counts as "classic?" I've been using plain ol' "up to 10%" in my '90...

As much as I LOL'd and agree with the sentiment, this is almost entirely about politics, not infrastructure -- the only tenuous connection is that the political shithead happens to own a car company. As such, please try to resist the temptation to post more stuff like this here.


Edit to address some feedback:

Yes, !fuckcars is political, but that doesn't mean everything political is on-topic. If this had been about Musk interfering with CA high-speed rail, it would be unambiguously on-topic. If this had been about the harmful effects of those trucks on other road users, it would be unambiguously on-topic (although for the record, I dislike threads hating on any one particular type of car because they risk missing the point that all of them contribute to most of the problems).

But it was neither of those things. It was just pointing out the dishonesty of people who bought a particular product with a particular political connotation. The fact that the product happened to be a vehicle was irrelevant to the idea being conveyed. That makes it a good fit for somewhere like !politicalmemes or !enoughmuskspam, maybe, but not here.

And as part of the “open” part, any data added must be compatible with the odbl license, which means sources must first be verified as compatible, so any imports of government databases are oftentimes simply not legally possible and even if they are it’s something you have to do quasi-manually since it’s probably in a completely different format.

Considering that collections of facts aren't actually copyrightable in the first place (see Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co.), how much does that actually matter?

Like, as a practical matter I can see how the people that run OpenStreetMap might not want you to do it, but I don't think it would actually be copyright infringement if somebody, say, scraped the business directory information from Google Maps and bulk-imported it to OpenStreetMap.

Stop calling it "age verification," which is a dishonest euphemism for the real goal, which is de-anonymization.

Do not cede the framing of the debate by uncritically accepting pro-surveillance-state loaded language.

A lot of the people in my neighborhood are actually pretty friendly, in an idealized-small-town sort of way. But I live in one of those "scary" "inner-city" neighborhoods with The Blacks™ and The Gays™ and whatnot, so it's a little different for me.

Meanwhile, my Boomer parents, who live out in the suburbs, complain that their subdivision has gone completely to Hell. Funny, that.

Do you? Or do you remember when they falsely claimed to mind their own goddamn business?

Well, you sure sound upset, and you're downvoting both me and the other guy who replied to you, so...

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
