I thought the #PitchMeetings guy got into 3d printing.

But yeah, if you say so: Capitalism is as old as humanity

Come on man, I only said I saw a Lord owning the means of production as the same as a businessman owning the means of production.

So… where were the medieval capitalists?

??? You said there was no land sale. I proved that wrong with a cited source. The end.

Nope, the enclosure of the commons prohibited the serfs to come back.

Farmers ceased to exist? Enclosure riots started in 1530, 200 years before the industrial revolution.

If living conditions were so much better

The desire for progress today doesn’t mean the past was better. Did the civil rights riots of the 1960’s mean that slavery was better?

You couldn’t buy land in feudal times.

In the medieval book, The Aristocracy in the County of Champagne, 1100-1300 (2007), Theodore Evergates dedicates an entire section to ‘The Market in Fiefs’

Land was bought and sold all the time by lords.

The industrial revolution lead to a stark, tangible decrease in living conditions for the proletariat/former serfs. That’s just a historical fact.

The serfs left the farm because for all its hardships, it was better. They could have gone back but didn’t. The bigger factor reducing quality of life was population growth.

I fail to see a distinction between a Lord owning a farm with a mill that produced flour and a capitalist owning a factory that produces flour.

Feudalism isn’t exactly capitalism but it’s splitting hairs. Nor do I agree with Engels that serfs had it better because it was in their Lord’s interests. If that was the case then a Capitalist would treat it’s workers better as well.

There are a ton of great printers under $1000 these days. If I needed a larger bed I’d get a Qidi Max 3. I got an Anycubic s1 with an ams that dries for $600.

You can do nuclear without irradiating everything Just like a nuclear plant doesn’t irradiate everything. The only reason it isn’t done is safety. Rockets fail too often.

The argument that gravity is in anyway a more powerful force than weak force (fission) or strong force (fusion) is wrong. The only thing gravity has is distance. The strong force is 100 trillion trillion trillion times stronger than gravity.

That, and have you seen the amount of propellant required to overcome gravity? Compare that to the amount of fissile material you need to make a viable nuclear device. It’s peanuts.

You inadvertently argued against your point. It takes only a few kilograms of fissile material to generate the energy needed to escape the gravitation of the 6 billion trillion kilograms gravity of earth.

But not really because you only compared chemical energy to fission.

I’d like to give up YouTube but I don’t know of any equivalent for practical knowledge. When I needed to know how to use a torque wrench today, YouTube had someone with 10 views and no nonsense. I follow big YouTubers like Project Farm because they’re better than Consumer Reports.

I don’t understand YouTube as a social platform at all. For me the only social part of YouTube is being able to ask follow up questions about a LadyAda video on microcontroller programming.

You always say you are done after being proven wrong. Which part of the percentage of Blacks in prison have declined did you not understand? I linked to Black leaders who asked for the bill. I linked Black equality websites that said it has gone down. You linked to Wikipedia that said it went down. Your final dodge was prison numbers as a whole have increased but again your own Wikipedia article shows that even in absolute numbers, it has gone down from 2008. Obama helped. Biden helped. There isn’t a ratchet. You it proved yourself.

I already said prison population has increased. But on a percentage basis, Blacks are less incarcerated than in the past. Is it racist that there are now far more Whites in prison because prison population has increased on an absolute basis?

Yes there are more in prison. And not even using percentages, prison population has decreased from its peak in 2008.

Percentage. There are more people alive today than in 1970. The total number jailed has also gone up.

But the percentage of Blacks incarcerated has gone down. I already said Blacks are still over represented. But it has improved since the crime bill. Your claim the crime bill was racist is false.

Yeah I want to completely switch off of Plex but neither is a good solution for my non tech family members. Mother in law is in a retirement center where they use wifi provided for the condos so I can’t access her router. And I would expect her ip to occasionally change on reboots etc. I might try IP ranges or narrow geo blocking.

I took the total numbers from Wikipedia

The wikipedia link you gave doesn’t have historical numbers? But it did say Black incarceration declined. Which is the opposite of your claim.

Your numbers aren’t in the Wikipedia page you linked. Your link did say this: “However, in the 21st century, the incarceration rates for African American and Hispanic American women have declined”

I already linked this article and here are more links: “Imprisonment Rate of Black Men Has Fallen By Nearly 50% Since 2000”

I thought there was some way to use Jelly on the backend with a Plex client!

Jellyfin over Plex?

How does that work with Roku/smart TVs?

The example you gave was Democrats enacting legislation requested by the Black caucus. It is the job of politicians to listen to the citizens. Black citizens asking for laws to help the Black community are not racist by definition. Are you going to use affirmative action as an example of Democrats being evil too? Maybe you should understand the examples you are using instead of repeating Russian talking points.

Percentage of blacks in prison:

1970 41%

1980 46%

1990 53%

2000 36%

2020 32%

Yes Blacks are still over represented in prison populations. But the crime bill did not increase the number of Blacks incarcerated.

I actually lived through it instead of learning “Biden bad facts” from Russian trolls a year ago.

Funny how you are only now not interested in my thoughts after I proved your claim to be wrong.
