I think they are trying to bring up the paradox of tolerance, but dont quote me on that.

And the third one, burnt down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one stayed up.

Exactly, why would you tell the enemy what your doing. /s

Atleast it didnt get wedged in the heat sink... Thats what happeneed to my last blob, had to replace the entire hot end.

People got to sleep yall, also thanks for the discussion, trying to treat this like a formal debate, but its a tough crowd...

Firstly, your hyoptheical protest is no such thing and a strawman, that is an act of war, expected of despots and revolutionaries, not groups of rational individuals demanding change. It also highlights my point, you stated that reform movements begin to gain steam when a critical mass of the population backs them, how can a group expect to gain such a following when their protests cost proportionaly more to the people you need to support your cause than it does to the people actually making the decisions?

How do you expect to find supporters if you cost average people a measurable portion of their living. I did some napkin math, assume a days worth of hourly work at 15$, before income tax, thats ~120$, versus an oil C-suite who according to my search take home ~24m a year (does not include the other parts of their pay and benifits) meaning you have to cost them ~100k of their personal take-home income to proportionaly effect them the same way. This is not worth noticing for the suit (notice how all those Return-to-office articles only mention normal workers and not executives) and personally damaging loss of income for the average person who statistically has little savings.

This was my point about being better protestors, damaging or disrupting public infrastructure (roads, rails, things essential to emergency services) should be reconsidered as venues for the protest because its disruption alienates the people who you would like to support your cause, is ignored by the people with the power to affect the change being demanded and makes the protestors themselves look like fools.

Apologies for the late reply, people got to sleep ya know.

Agree, at the speed where this ploy starts working is around the part where you stop being a human and start being physics.

I will be invoking Occam and Hanlon's razors on this incident.

1). The simplist answer is usually the correct one.

2). Never attribute to malice what can accuratly be explained by stupidity and incompitence.

Based on the entities who would like the narrative to be anything other than an accident, im not inclined to believe any reports unless they can validate their findings and prove they dont have interests that align with musk or 47, until such a time I believe it was not intentional, likely a manufacturers defect (which are common for that vehicle anyway).

DRG is a fantastic place to start with moving from a controller to mouse/keyboard.

I would personally T-up some classics like portal and Half-life 2 for solo "history lessons" after that. Only then would I make some harder recomendations like long RPGs, MOBAs, 4X, and would shy away from MMOs unless you have an organized group to introduce them to.
