That's an awful lot of pilpul. You admitted it proudly on Twitter expecting praise, it's too late to talk your way out of it now because you didn't get the reaction you expected.
Perhaps until they prove themselves confused, unreliable, hypocritical, dishonest, deceptive, irrational, malicious, and/or self-contradictory.

Over the course of the pandemic this threshold was crossed for a lot of people.

Re:The U.S. birth rate has fallen by 20% since 2007 on Wednesday May 17, 2023 @06:53AM (#35973575)
It seems it's not German mothers having German babies though:

Take away over 30%(!) of births in some regions and you'll see similarly plummeting figures. It's even worse if you consider that many of those births in the "German" column are to foreign mothers with German citizenship.

Judging by the jaw-dropping number of people pouring over the border as we speak (shocking video available via alternative news sources), this is going to get much much worse yet. US GDP per capita will plummet, and living standards must follow.
He can't wait a minute or so while the completely automated firmware update completes? Literally all he needs to do is exist. I'm still sure he could manage.
It's an automatic update. All you have to do is watch the progress bar fill up. Even you could manage it.

...?

Although I'll concede that I'm now wondering what's preventing compromised hardware from faking this part too. A complex malware could even receive firmware updates, dump them in an unused partition, and report to the connected host that it promises that it's definitely running that firmware, right? Hmmm.

Trezor has additional checks that aren't covered here. I'd really like to know how those were defeated. Especially:

> All Trezor devices are distributed without firmware installed - you will need to install it during setup. This setup process will check if firmware is already installed on the device. If firmware is detected then the device should not be used.

>The bootloader verifies the firmware signature each time you connect your Trezor to a computer. Trezor Suite will only accept the device if the installed firmware is correctly signed by SatoshiLabs. If unofficial firmware has been installed, your device will flash a warning sign on its screen upon being connected to a computer.

There seems to be an element of user carelessness and naivety here. Anyone who follows Trevor's hardware verification checks surely needn't worry about these attacks.

Now I'm curious if men are disproportionately more violent than women also due to the much-memed "socioeconomic factors"?

Or would you concede that there is a genetic element in the gender disparity? And would you then also recognise that factor in the racial disparity?

I also want to add that if the violent crime rate of White men was the biggest problem we faced as a society, well what a wonderful problem that would be to have. That would be a utopia compared to the challenges being faced by non-White and increasingly multiracial populations around the world right now.

I'm still searching for a solution to organise the hundreds (thousands?) of anti-static component bags I have from the likes of LCSC, Mouser, etc.

It's so difficult to find something that is the right size and shape to hold them upright, allowing organising, sifting through them to find the one I need, etc. The repackaging shown here is nice, but I don't want them ultimately stuffed into a drawer, nor can I see myself going to the effort - especially the part where I'd need to enter them all into a database.
