    Use entire tubs of soap to wash your hands

    Turn on the microwave for hours at a time

    Heat/cool office thermometer to force HVAC into overdrive

    Open new browser windows until your computer crashes and repeat until the network goes down

    Company wide meme emails that everyone participates in (team building) that crash servers and dominate inboxes

    Pour sugar/crumbs everywhere so there’s pest problems

  • The initial plan had been for the first fab to achieve full production this year, but the timeline was delayed due to several workforce challenges. These included difficulties in finding skilled workers locally, cultural differences between TSMC’s Taiwanese management and American employees, and a shortage of skilled construction workers that slowed the building process. This delay raised concerns about TSMC’s ability to maintain efficiency with its US operations compared to its facilities in Taiwan.

    Recent success in trial production has alleviated some of these concerns. TSMC has confirmed that the Arizona project is progressing as planned, although the company has not commented specifically on yield rates.



  • I’ve wondered about this, killing the “company” never really seemed like that big of a deal, as the structure (both physical building/tool/systems and operationally) don’t simply vanish. You still have the knowledge and skillsets in the population, and the supply chains still exist.

    The real problem with these “too big to fail” entities is that the people pulling the levers that cause failures never have any consequences whatsoever.

    Yeah, you’ll always need banks, energy, transportation, defence etc - operational mechanisms for exchanging goods, building, buying etc will never go away or ‘fail’ - but their operational practices absolutely could and should change

    I’m so sick of the wealth class abusing absolutely everything to guarantee themselves more money than they could ever spend.


  • Honestly, I’ve almost noticed the opposite for about 2 months now - but I only use mobile browser with no account so it may not be a fully accurate experience.

    The main reason for this opinion is that I’m Canadian, and until recently the super right wing echo chamber bot farm Canada_Sub, no longer appears on my popular/hot in Canada feed and has been replaced by the far more left wing Onguardforthee.

    The ‘Sub’ group went private, then back to public but it’s no longer being pushed on my feed.

    In general, I’m definitely seeing less right wing talking points for Canadian content, not sure if that’s due to the overall algorithm, or if admins have been cracking down on bots and the right wing Canadian subreddits don’t have enough traction without them to crack relevance.

    Maybe reddit is taking it’s content more seriously with all the AI content scraping they’re about now. Their content won’t mean squat if it’s polluted by bot content like other social media.




  • I’ve been getting the Samsung ‘plus’ models several years after they come out for a couple hundred bucks and still can’t find a reason to upgrade from the S10+

    New phones are way too expensive for a better camera and marginally faster apps, which would be entirely out matched by a dedicated camera at the same price.

    Surprise surprise, I also drive an old ranger that has aux but no Bluetooth so everything works out


  • Samurai champloo is a classic and contributed a ton to anime style, but maybe doesn’t hit as hard with plot as more recent creations. Fun and campy meets dark and gritty

    Inuyasha is another classic feudal Japan and magic environment

    May as well mention Afro Samurai if I’m gonna have a string of feudal Japan anime

    Most people look like they mentioned Cowboy bebop already

    I’m a huge Neon Genesis Evangelion fan, but originally watched it in the early 2000’s as a teenager with divorced parents so there’s probably a big nostalgia factor

    I absolutely loved cyberpunk edgerunners, but it’s only 10 episodes (watched this probably 5x already)

    The animated witcher movie + Castlevania (not nocturne though) were really good.

    Arcane + DOTA I found to be really enjoyable as well.


  • Most of the “fearmongering” is actually women talking about their experiences.

    When media fearmongers Rape, it’s mostly by informing the public about rapists being sentenced to very light sentences, or rapists facing no jail time, or violent rapists being released.

    Either that or they outright victim blame and discuss what someone was wearing, where they were, who they were with etc, basically inferring that if she was safely at home under a man’s protection, it wouldn’t be possible for her to be raped - so look at all the safety she threw away to be reckless (outside without a male partner) and have fun (literally existing while being a woman walking sex organ waiting to be claimed).


  • The Martian when the main airlock blows up.

    He ends up taping a plastic sheet over the hole with what I assume is super strong space tape and plastic and then continues to live in the station for 550 more days.

    We spend the first half of the movie learning how unforgiving the environment is, and how delicate his ecosystem for life is, but you can also blow half the place up and just tape some plastic over the hole.

    They did a much better job of explaining it in the book, but the movie literally went “just tape that bitch up with plastic, then we’ll throw a wind storm at it to prove it’s good forever”



  • Government/police insist on having basically unlimited ability to spy on people within the US, and then maybe catch a part of one operation after collecting heaps of evidence over months/years with tons of victims irrevocably harmed - and eventually a few main people get like 3-5 years in prison on a plea deal.

    I get the whole “building a case” thing, but letting multiple children get abused, while other sickos learn the ropes to eventually “get enough evidence” so a few people can plead guilty for a comparatively light prison sentences is absurd. Shut anything about it down immediately. Even if it doesn’t go to trial/conviction I’m sure the police have creative capacities to deal with child abusers outside of prison.

    And people still think sex education in school is about teaching children how to preform sex acts, instead of helping them avoid predators.
