Interest Checks / [IC] SA SAIL R2
« Last post by Fredington on Fri, 11 September 2026, 13:43:26 »
Hi everyone. Long time.
I figured there might be some interest in a rerun of this, so let's get into it.
IC Form
Kits
A new <> key has been added for ISO users.
Some positions in the 65% column have been moved around for aesthetic reasons and to help streamline new mold costs for the 40s kit below.
Special thanks to HaiZeus for his help on this 40s kit and for getting the ball rolling on this rerun in the first place.
The idea here is that this is a fully self-contained 40s kit so that 40s users won't have to also buy the Modifiers kit to cover their boards like in the past. We've also made use of SAIL's agnostic legends to further help with coverage.
The 00 has been adjusted from R1.

prime allegory, your left hand stabs your right hand
“When you say my legacy, I’ll be a block. I’ll end up being a blocker. I’ll block all their bad stuff for two years,” Trump said. “It won’t be the same, but I’ll be a blocker — what can I tell you?”

It's at best mobile homes, which are okkkkk, but they're not easy to rig up for central management.
For example, with mobile homes, the distance is farther per person, so if you need to provide good internet, You either got alot of wires, or lots of repeaters, with less utilization and is messy.

And, they' is saying that's exactly what afd is.
Pretty much yea... it's reasonable.
But the political ideology is sound all around, ANY of the belief systems could've worked HAD THEY BEEN PROPERLY IMPLEMENTED.
The problem is when the TIRE HITS THE ROAD, you have Human Beings, with Human Frailties.
Regardless of Promise, you have reality, which is human beings making decisions to INCREASE emotional happiness supplemented by Energy.
This is unlimited from the perspective of the human, the energy seems limitless, and 1 person doesn't use all that much.
But when the framework of decision making is Entirely enveloped in the Utopia experiment, That process is no longer human, as it no longer serves the living, it merely produces happiness.
Where happiness is supposed to come from, is hijacked by industrial energy.
We make happiness out of energy, And because humans can only see and FEEL so much, they no longer have a bearing on which way is up, because the happiness they feel is disconnected and unknown, it just happens.
A utopian society with no lore to explain where everything comes from, self terminates.
Drug addiction is not sustainable, because rapidly, an addict no longer performs the necessary rituals which maintain the mental pathways for LIFE.
In the same way, we carry on with our respective Air Conditioned Bubbles, totally disconnected from the REAL Life support system.
We tilt it so severely, both physically, and mentally, that the governing system chooses (war) suicide.
We all pay into it with our collective pathologies, until it kills everything.
And for those who see war as anything else, Tp4 goes back to his prime allegory, your left hand stabs your right hand, america stabs russia, Same planet, same lifesupport system, what is that IF NOT SUICIDE.

Look, remember how the donnold promised no m0re stupid wars... broke all his promises, ONTOP of bringing in the most racist govnmnt possible, the least qualified ever.
EhayFD is almost certainly 1 of those. They are grimini's new donol, There are no good options. You should just leave.
It's 2 sides of the same coin, the surface stuff, is all superficial, neither party cares about it, when they get into power, m0ar money for military industrial, continue to send chimiqul wepns to AFRICA. One of their top exports.

Ergonomics / Re: On the need of a larger numeric keypad for modern usage requirements.
« Last post by SophieBennett123 on Fri, 11 September 2026, 09:24:40 »The numpad really was a huge usability improvement, especially once computers became common for accounting, data entry, and office work. It’s interesting how the meaning of “alphanumeric” has expanded too, as keyboards now need to accommodate a much wider range of symbols and characters. On a related note, buy Telegram accounts on AccsMarket can be useful for people managing different online communities or projects where communication and account organization matter.

Grow, with WHAT.
We'd need a "Sudden" invention which borders on reverse entropy energy generation.
Tp4 can understand the enthusiasm for AI, but if it was sentient enough to invent such a thing, it's sentient enough to cut humans out of the deal.
Transhumanism is again, not what you've imagined, there is no YOU in that movie, the AI is the transhuman, there wouldn't be any other human, just the AI, the 1 blob.
Tp4 is ok with that, ideologically, but the incompetence in the ep5ti class and their illogical fantasies is disasterous.

ROBOTS DO EVERYTHING. with unlimited energy, sure.
But a ROBOT is highly power inefficient.
Human beings do all that they do on 40watts / hr. A modern playstation is 200-300watts.
EVERYTHING our economy "purports" to do, comes at a power budget. It can not escape physics.
The most irrational aspect is the PRICE of OIL. If a barrel of oil is worth 5 years of HUMAN physical Labor, WHY IS IT $60, or $100, or $200, or $10,000.
Why is it not $1,000,000. IN FACT, that SHOULD BE the price of oil.
So what is happening is, the allocation structure at the top, decides simply to maximize BURN RATE.
The Money structure in GDP, is that rate.
It's not a rate of Wealth Generation or Wealth Storage. GDP is the BURN RATE of FUEL.
This coupled with the fact that there IS NO GREEN ENERGY, all the machinery in solar/wind are simply conduits made from AND to FOSSIL FUELS, Coal, Oil, Gas, Coal, Oil, Gas.
Nature cracked the code, it is beyond anything else, the most POWER EFFICIENT, the natural systems does all that it does @ EXTREMELY low wattage, ALMOST no waste heat.
How much waste heat does a ROBOT produce, or an electric car, electric bus, electric tooth brush.
This is not to be against mechanization, But one must understand the LIMITS of What It Can Do, and the VERY FINITE Budget of energy available in the Time-Span of Civilization.
Nature can operate in Geological-Time, Human Civilization CAN NOT.
