That one is particularly rage inducing if it’s the one I’m thinking of (I think ep 1 of the new season?).
Some of the others in the new season aren’t so depressing or rage inducing, though.

Pelt, melt, Celt, belt, felt (the material), dealt, velt, welt, yelt.
Some of those are past tense verbs, some are me just making the sound and finding real words, one I’m not sure is a word but doesn’t sound wrong, so I hereby declare it to be a word henceforth, if it wasn’t already.
My first seagate HD started clicking as I was moving data to it from my older drive just after I purchased it. This was way back in the 00s. In a panic, I started moving data back to my older hd (because I was moving jnstead of copying) and then THAT one started having issues also.
Turns out when I overclocked my CPU I had forgotten to lock the PCI bus, which resulted in an effective overclock of the HDD interfaces. It was ok until I tried moving mass amounts of data and the HDD tried to keep up instead of letting the buffer fill up and making the OS wait.
I reversed the OC and despite the HDDs getting so close to failure, both of them lasted for years after that without further issue.
Yeah, “I’m busy” isn’t your roommate’s problem.
Righteous Suicide or Self-righteous Suicide? Haven’t heard anything about it either way, but asking because the second is in the lyrics and would be more apt.
Though IMO Chop Suey is an even better name because of the imagery it conjures combined with the meaning of the song. It’s pretty graphic like a holy fuck moment when you connect the dots.
Yeah, I can relate to that.
I think another part of it is that the art itself isn’t often overtly political. Maybe that even plays into the sense of betrayal because of how often the politics they support aren’t ones that can be talked about openly and they feel like since they avoid saying what they are thinking, everyone else should also.
Seems like he’s fallen for the illusion that someone who opposes lies must themself represent the truth.
You should give them a listen. Their sound is amazing and I can’t really blame people for enjoying without really listening to the words. It wouldn’t surprise me if you hear some and realize you’ve known them for decades without realizing.
My top ones: Toxicity, Deer Dance, Aerials, Chop Suey, Spiders, Lost in Hollywood, BYOB, Hypnotize
First concert starts WW3.
20 years later, the survivors get nostalgic for concert wars.
Yeah, I guess it’s important to remember bands aren’t monoliths and some members themselves might even be the subject of In Bloom. And even having some leanings on particular topics doesn’t mean agreement on all topics.
Did some digging and while there are some right leaning bands on my “I’ve enjoyed their music” list, none of them came as a surprise, like Leonard Skynyrd, Kid Rock, Five Finger Death Punch.
Guess self-awareness isn’t equal between right and left wings. Which is maybe even illustrated by being curious about this in the first place. Or maybe I’m overgeneralizing my own experience lol.
Such a great song.
All of their songs are. It just occurred to me that SoaD might be one of the most political bands out there, up there with RatM. Which made me curious if there were many right wing fans that complained about them getting political because they didn’t realize they were saying that all along. And of course there were.
Guess it’s why Cobain sang about it over 30 years ago.
He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs…
Though now I’m wondering what bands I’ve enjoyed without realizing they were fascist leaning lol.
If it’s a topic that has been heavily discussed on the internet or in literature, LLMs can have good conversations about it. Take it all with a grain of salt because it will regurgitate common bad arguments as well as good ones, but if you challenge it, you can get it to argue against its own previous statements.
It doesn’t handle things that are in flux very well. Or things that require very specific consistency. It’s a probabilistic model where it looks at existing tokens and predicts what the next one is most likely to be, so questions about specific versions of something might result in a response specific to that version or it might end up weighing other tokens more than the version or maybe even start treating it all like pseudocode, where descriptive language plays a bigger role than what specifically exists.
Also for flying cars, when a non-flying car breaks down suddenly, it can be a dangerous situation but you just need to avoid hitting anything until your momentum is lost and generally have options (brakes might lose power assist but could work, if they don’t there’s still emergency brakes, and if those also fail, there’s engine braking if you have transmission control, or steering back and fourth to lose momentum via turning friction, and once you’re going slow enough, even colliding with something stationary can help).
With flying cars, maybe it can glide, assuming it even works like that and isn’t more of a helicopter or just using some kind of thrusters. Plus, if you’re falling to your death anyways, you might not have the presence of mind to try to optimize what you do hit with what control you do have to minimize damage to others. Hell, the safety feature might even be ejecting and leaving it to fall wherever, while hoping none of the other flying cars hit you or your parachute, or fly close enough to mess with the airflow in a way where the parachute might fail.
And that’s not even going into how much more energy it takes to fly vs roll.
Flying cars don’t make practical sense. And where they do, we already have helicopters.
Isn’t the codec for headphones just meant to handle the communication between the headphones and device while the device can handle transcoding from the input codec to the output codec?
Or do you mean the quality of the codecs supported puts an upper limit on sound quality?
They want something like the Star Trek computer or one of Tony Stark’s AIs that were basically deus ex machinas for solving some hard problem behind the scenes. Then it can say “model solved” or they can show a test simulation where the ship doesn’t explode (or sometimes a test where it only has an 85% chance of exploding when it used to be 100%, at which point human intuition comes in and saves the day by suddenly being better than the AI again and threads that 15% needle or maybe abducts the captain to go have lizard babies with).
AIs that are smarter than us but for some reason don’t replace or even really join us (Vision being an exception to the 2nd, and Ultron trying to be an exception to the 1st).
