that's when it struck me. america didn't just offshore its manufacturing capabilities, we outsourced our manufacturing competency we don't build, so we've largely forgotten how to build

@reluctantmutant @jmhorp do you know what standing is?

@reluctantmutant @JBLADES13 @jmhorp you should reflect on why you felt the need to weigh in on something you clearly know nothing about

@reluctantmutant @jmhorp in which court case was the constitutionality of modern foreign aid tested?

alright, so you're wrong and that's fine. you also have no evidence that the founding fathers supported the kind of foreign aid we're doling out today it doesn't matter because there's nothing in the constitution that gives congress the power to engage in these foreign aid boondoggles, and that's really what's at issue here

@JBLADES13 did franklin support giving money directly to foreign governments? did adams give haiti money straight from our treasury? did jefferson implement a national vaccine program for indian tribes? no, because all of that is obviously outside the scope of federal power

@JBLADES13 be specific

if your understanding of civics is so poor that you think the founding fathers wrote a social contract to limit the power of the federal government, but left a clause to grant that government unlimited power do society a favor and forever refrain from voting

@JBLADES13 @jmhorp would you care to justify your position at all, or are you only interested in pointing to random sections of the constitution and insulting me?

@JBLADES13 @jmhorp nope

ready to get ripped off at the world market

@JBLADES13 @nandesu @jmhorp nope

@caesararum in that case i hope they're stocking up on toilet paper too

@tastybits "i was a dutiful and effective servant of the republic. i blindly followed the orders of partisans that led to the denigration and torture of dissidents ONE TIME and now they're trying to kick me off the force!"

was getting frustrated with the limitations of minitab, the corpo's standard statistics software, so i decided to do my project in python it's a straightforward linear regression with transformed data, but i decided to let claude have a go at it one prompt in three sentences and claude oneshotted the solution. dumped the code into a notebook and it ran. 2 hours worth of work down to 10 seconds, amazing

@dissproportion allowing people to express those ideas is as american as it gets barring foreigners with that mindset from entering the country is just good policy

@nandesu @jmhorp you're not contradicting me

@vxunderground disappointed that the c/asm dev community is turning into the old unhinged sw dev community
